Hi all!!

Zofia its terrible that you feel judged in your mothers group. I thinks its great to meet with other mums of children who are the same age as Diana but not when they make you feel so uncomfortable about your choices - I would leave too!!! Speak to your local clinic and find out if there are any other playgroups in your area which you can join.

Sarah I'm having the same prob with Mikayla. The last week or so she's refusing to drink water. She might take a couple of sips a day and thats about it. She used to drink it without any issues. I think I might try mixing it with some baby juice and see how that goes. Maybe they're just bored with plain water!! The last 2 days she hasnt even wanted any milk. All she's had so far today is 1 bottle this afternoon of 140ml and thats it - I'm actually starting to get worried that she'll get dehydrated. With the cooler weather I wouldnt worry too much about Lewis not drinking water as long as he's still drinking plenty of milk.

Pam I'd say persist in giving Christian food in the hand. Mikayla initially did the same - I think they like to feel the different textures. She now eats most things pretty well - even avocado - I just cut it into long pieces. I do find though that she does still squish things if she isnt hungry. I still spoon feed her main meals but when it comes to snacks she now basically feeds herself - as long as its solids of course!! LOL

Dragonstorm your a classic!!! Unfortunately I just got a clear picture of the toilet scene in my mind Thanks!! As for your advice to Pam... I agree totally!! (except for the sleeping bag - I get way too hot in bed for one of those LOL)

Well I thought I'd share this little clip of Mikayla on the go. This one was taken yesterday and with all of the practice she's had since then she's now alot more stable on her feet. She's pretty much walking all the time now - there's no stopping her!!!

Mikayla Walking

Have a safe and happy long weekend everyone xx
