Imran is making lots of new sounds now too. I love all the early vocalisation. I have a little video of Yasin when he is 6 months old and he sounds just like a bird LOL.
re the solids - I'm not planning on introducing them until after 6 months. Imran is a giant bubba (I'm not sure how much he weighs because I never visit the nurse but he's wearing a few size 0's now and he's almost as big as my freind's 7 month old) but I think my boobies will be able to keep up. Until they're about 6 months breastmilk provides everything they need and I'm like Kas in that I see it as one more thing to do LOL and thier poos get a whole heap more smelly once the solids are introduced.

Ivana, I've read somewhere that putting some oatmeal wrapped in a cloth in the bath helps with exzma. I use the kenkay sorbalene on Imran's little patch and it seems to keep it at bay.

Kas, I hope your Grandma is doing well. Hugs for you and your Mum.

Jenny, Imran has always rejected the dummy but now he can get his hand in his mouth most of the time so he's becoming a bit of a thumbsucker.

I took Imran swimming yesterday. He's so cute in the water and he looks so happy being swished about. I gave him his first dunk too and he looked so funny and suprised afterwards.
I should go to bed but I've got clothes in the dryer and I can't sleep while the dryer is on because I'm paranoid about the lint catching fire and being burnt to death in my sleep. I know its really silly but knowing that its irrational doesn't stop the paranoia. DH never even knew about the lint until last week and now he's convinced that it must be usefull in some way and if only he could figure out what to do with it he could make a fortune buying people's lint and processing it ROFL. He thought it would be good insulation so I had to explain how combustible it was LMAO if I lived in a house insulated with lint I would never sleep again.
