Mel, Were planning on making a short appearance at a friends house tonight. Dont want to stay out too late because they close the roads around the foreshore and shut down a bridge near us so people can stand on the top of it to watch the sydney harbour bridge fireworks, and that could make it a PITA to get back home if we leave it too late! Hope your friend gets too meet her bubba very soon!

Bec, lol about the batteries in toys. I've taken to not replacing them when they stop working. Some of the noises that come out of Claire toys are enough to drive someone crazy. Hope your unpacking goes well. Dont be like my mum and leave boxes packed for 14 years!

Ali, i love the pics of Emy. haha hoe cute the pics of her in the pool. We have one of those table things with all the buttons and things to touch as well. Claire LOVES it! She stnds at it and makes noises with it, then turns around and looks at us as if to say 'look at me, how good am i!!"

Claire is saying "bub" and "bababa" now. I havent heard muma or dada yet, but I think I heard booby, lol. But she loves saying babababababa. And I ws so happy the other day. I made up a batch of new food for her (vegies and chicken) and she really enjoyed it. Finally she is liking food now.

I've got a day booked for me, Claire and DH to go have a look at a family day care place on wednesday. I'm relly nervous actually, but I think she'll enjoy it if we do decide to go ahead and book her in. She loves people and I think she gets really bored of me all day every day.

hope you all hve a lovely evening.
