Hi girls!

Sorry, been MIA with a bit of work (BAS, etc, etc, yuck!).

Em - woohoo on the fancy avatar! No, Lucy doesn't have any signs of teeth yet, all the drooling and putting everything in her mouth is probably just a developmental thing, rather than a real sign.

We bought the Emmaljunga Cerox Sport and absolutely love it for walking around the footpaths and over any grass or terrain. I also bought the Roger Armstrong Elfin last month (got shifted back into the smaller car so DP could use the wagon for work) and it's fantastic for shopping centres, etc, but still has slightly bigger wheels for rougher surfaces. It only weighs 7 kg too so I can lift it in and out much easier than I could the other pram. It's more of a stroller though, and we always knew we'd have to buy a stroller at some point. As for high chairs, we picked up a Target one for $15 the other day, they were selling out the last stock they had. Isn't flash, but for that price we thought it'd do! We were looking at getting the Stokke Trip Trap and if this one doesn't do the job we'll probably go back to that.

Relle - it must be hard to type with a small person who also would like to sitting on your lap! When I hold Lucy atm at least she can't reach the keys!

How is everyone else? Ivana, I love the new pic of Tallon laughing! I can get some great giggles out of Lucy but there's never anyone else around to take the photos. Although the video camera is more successful. Happy 5 mth birthday tomorrow to Lucy, Tallon and Cailan too!

I weighed Lucy today and she's 5.8 kg. I don't think she's ever going to be huge, she's tracking at the lower end of average on the growth charts. I'm going to get her measured properly at a pharmacy somewhere in the next couple of days to put it in her blue book.

I've been having some shoulder/back problems caused (I think) by Lucy's preference for feeding on my right hand side. She spends at least twice as long on that side and it's wreaking havoc with my muscles. I've seen a physio twice in the last week and the exercises seem to be helping. I'm also trying to feed her lying down in the morning to take the pressure off.

Must go, can't believe it but I still have more paperwork to get through this evening before I go to bed. Hope everyone is well!
