Hello all, finally some time to read and post, Ari is asleep (touchwood) and nanna is putting DS to bed. DH and I actually got to go out alone last night for the first time in ages, went late night shopping, dinner and then to see Transformer - OMG best movie ever by the way. Unfortunately the dinner obviously didn't agree with me as I woke up at 4am with food poisoning. On the upside Ari slept from 8pm-4am ( I think she would have lasted longer but I woke her up with my rush to the bathroom) She has been grumpy today and her poos are a bit runny so I'm hoping she didn't get too much of the toxins or whatever through my milk as I am still feeling sore and revolting today.

Cass_blob - I second what Caro said but I'm sure you are doing whats right for your bubba. I have heard of a few bubs that go on soilds early and are fine but you might want to check on the research between early soilds and digestive trouble esp later in life (irritable bowel and celiacs (sp?) It's great that Izzy is enjoying them though - solids can be heaps of fun, I used to love comig up with different combos for Xander. His fav was avocado, mash potato and grated cheese :-) Ari has had a few tastes off our fingers of veges but she generally hasa lick and screws up her face :-)

Rachel - hope mothers group went well. Wow it would be really hard to cook for a varied group like that.

Caro - hope the move goes well!

Cass - Know what you mean about the cat hair, we have a dog that lives inside and ditto on the hair. How's little Oskar going? Don't think I am going to make it to the outlets stores with you :-( Time is just going past sooooo quick.

Karina - good find with the nappies.
