Hellllo all!
Welcome back Nellnell, always good to see people here!
Cerlsie- I hope caeleb is doing better.
Dane has quite a few falls since he is so mobile but only a few that have drawn blood. my stomach sinks when i see blood! As a very very clumsy child and adult!! , I now see how terrible it must of been for my mum in all the situations she was in with me, and I see them in a whole different light!
Dragonstorm- i am jealous of your job! Glad to hear the dreamfeeds are working, they worked a treat with us too. as for the libido thing, i no that I had alot of issues with my body - i put on about 20kg, lost 10kg, and it has taken time for me to just deal with it, but I also felt like my DH was kinda waiting for me give the green light and I really wanted him to just make a move on me to show me that he still found me attractive ( may sound silly but its how i felt) so in the end it kinda came down to communication and a few good nights to ourselves. We are very very lucky to have my mum living 5mins away and willing to babysit at any chance. But i agree with nellnell communication is key!
Nellnell, we are planning on ttc #2 after our holiday in sept! It would be a great time to fall pregnant again, so the bub will be born in the cooler months again and I get to enjoy my pregnancy all that much more! I get soo clucky when i see little bubs, it seems soo long ago that Dane was a baby baby.
Mumoflewis - did u end up getting any kind of trolley thing?
Birthdays - gees who new a 1 year birthday could be soo hard! I am having a bbq down near the beach and swings, fingers crossed it is a nice day! I went to the bakery to see about a cake - i am no good at baking cakes, quite a laugh in my family as my dad is a baker and a very good cake maker! But he is not here at the moment, I was going to get an ice cream cake if I could, but the bakery I went into doesn't do them and I only have 2 bakeries in town to choose from, and i was told for a simple cake in the shape of number 1 it would start at $29.00. Has anyone else got any prices or ideas on the shape of cake? I thought that was a bit expensive myself.
The cows milk - i have been giving Dane cows milk for a while now, every few bottles I would give him one. At first I did dilute it with water but now he has it straight. I was not breastfed or formula fed, but cows milk and water, with a teaspoon of brown sugar in one bottle per day! It is in my plunket (hospital baby book) booklet! Apparently the sugar was to help with constipation. Anyway, my last visit to the CN she said to cut down his bottles of formula and change to cows milk and i was already thinking about doing that by the time he was one. But my tin of formula ran out a last week and he has been on cows milk ever since. It seems to be going fine, he is still eating the same, all seems to be good.
Starfish- what you got planned for your birthday since it too is coming up?
sorry i always seem to write a book!
skim read as much as I could so please forgive me if I miss you out.....sending cyber hugs to you all!! 
As long as you both stay relaxed and happy that cuddles are just perfect for the time being. Hope those thoughts are ok to share!
Idiots! Apparently a new public playground (outdoors one) is opening up just outside of the town? They've flattened the one that was there and I saw the other day that all new completely enclosed fencing is now on with childproof gates 
So hope its a fantastic playground - doesn't solve the issue though when its raining *sigh* 
The girls sandpit is almost finished, we've bought all the gear to repaint DD#1's walls with a feature wall (I ripped old shelving off the other day....good thing we were going to repaint anyways 
His gum was bruised aswell but I think that has gone today. I hope the tooth comes through soon. Is it common to be getting back teeth when he only has 2 at the bottom, I thought he would get 3&4 first. He has 4 at the top.
