Karina - the bumbo's are well worth it!

I too have just bought the tray to go on top! waiting for its arrival! hey Cass/Caro can you let me know how long ur's took? plz!

Cass - Ohhh, that must of been horrible! I hate those screams! Glad he all better, howd the jump jump go?
i followed your idea's, and did some finger painting with izzy, me and a friend did it with her 2yo as well! had a blast, and izzy seem to enjoy me painting her feet we did a canvas of just izzy prints, one of hayly prints and one of all four of us together~! lovely keep sakes... I've got a picture of the one i did for izzy in my photobucket, if u'd ike to have a look...

Karina - i agree... I'd much rather cuddle izzy untill she is nice and settled then put her to bed, I don't like leaving her to cry at all, and most of the time all she needs to know is that i'm still around and she'll get a cuddle and settle anyway... You 2 are allowed a difference of opinion, you'll proberly find that sometimes he's right other times you are...

I have EVERYONE (even the childless people) telling me i'm "making a rod for my own back, she's going to be no good for you to leave. blablabla" I just tell em to 'stick it' these days, she's my daughter i'll do it how i please...

Me and Tim have some 'discussions' about this the other day, he dosn't like Dummies... So he had izzy and she started crying, the first thing he did was ask for the dummy, i'm like no, you don't like them settle her with out it (she wasn't screaming, just a grizzel) and he couldn't, so within 2-3mins of trying he handed her back to me, where she settled (without the dummy)... Why is it, that i keep getting told how much im smothering her by not letting her scream - when as soon as she just grizzels someone else is picking her up, then she gets more cranky and i get givin her... bla i'm just rambleing now, moving on heheh...

Today my dad brought me over the photo albums he brought for us... THey are relaly gorgeous! I've got 2 really nice ones know, So i'm doing one of just me and izzy together, for the next 18 years (this one is going to be a l o n g working project) and give it to izzy for her 18th... the 2nd ones is going to be of izzy and everyone else for the first 12months. . . plus i'm doing a scrap book poster thingy (the idea is still iup in my head lol) and we have 4month portraits next tuesday so thats going to be a lot of fun...
I feel very mummzy artzy crafty lately
