Hi everyone,

Jo, I hope things went well with Riley's operation. I have been thinking of you. I'm glad the weaning is working for you & I am glad that she is putting weight it must be a weight of your mind

Macca79 has you DH been able to come home for the weekend or have you been on your own the whole time (nearly?) I think you have done a fantastic job - while my DP may not do as much as I want him to at time I am grateful he is there. At least he should be home soon

Luey, why would he take formula when he knows there is booby around lol I bet if you are not around he would take it - cheeky monkeys. GL with the solids. The time sure is flying by - soon they will be off to school Good to hear that E is better as well.

All-boys, GL with your trip, looking forward to hearing how you went. Scout is now 5 mnths old woo hoo

Becstar it took me a few goes to use chat & then I realised that I had to register for that too... At the bottom of the login box there is a create a new user account link, you need to click on that to be able to use it. I hope things sort itself out with Ben, it always throws me a bit when DP is out of sorts. I hope the b/f is still going well too...

Andie, did you get around to weighing Cam? has the b/f settled down? GL with your trip.

Laura, hope your move is going well, look forward to an update when you get back online.

Mel, I hope james is out of his bad habit of biting? is the sleeping going well? how is your foot?

we are on tooth watch, DS just hasn't been himself the last couple of days, constantly grumbling & not happy. So I figured if he is getting teeth then it is time to introduce some solids. I don't want to be giving him regular meals or anything like that yet just giving him food here & there & especially rusks to help with his feet. So first of all we gave him a brocoli floret which he squeezed & sucked, as soon as he saw another one he wanted it so gave that to him as well & then we tried him with a bit of cauliflower. The look on his face was priceless as he was expecting the brocoli taste & he knew it was different - he didn't go much on that he didn't eat a lot but he must had something as his next poo had bits of brocoli in it. Then the next night we tried some pumpkin that DP mashed up, he wasn't too thrilled with that I think cause it was cold because when we gave him a cube of pumpkin that was warm he loved it, again squished it in his fingers & sucked them like there was no tomorrow. We gave him some strawberry today but he wasn't too fussed on that & then it was time for bannana - he gummed a small amount of & he didn't like it I think cause he isn't use to the weight & wasn't sure what to do so we just fished it out. He makes me laugh. He has rolled from his tummy to his back a few times now but his best trick is sitting up, he looks so cute & each day he is more stable.

well it's aftermidnight again so I better go so final goodbyes to Reenie, rustygirl, catherinemoses, hayley & anyone else I missed
