Cass - my sister gave us her Jolly Jumper and we finally set it up today. It was hillarious! Nic loved it! I think I will also get the mat for him. Good thing you checked your car seat!

Ali - Hi!! Great to hear from you. Sounds like Emerson is going great, what a fantastic sleeper!

Caro - I have those Tupperwear ice cube trays with the lids, they are great. I could do with a few more though as I only have two and I am going to start mixing up Nics veges soon (broccoli and pumpkin etc). Do the containers you found have lids? Where did you get them from?

Karina - you can't be too careful when choosing your day care. Remember, you can't be there to make sure they are looking after Claire, so I would be 100% comfortable with the centre and the carers before leaving her there. You can always ask some of the other parents who have children there and see what they think.

Sarah - I think the play pen is a good idea for Ari. I have a fear of choking too, and the girls have so many little beads and things. At least they are old enough to make sure their stuff is put away, and we have put a gate on the loungeroom so that Nic can't get out (when he finally gets moving).

Jen - do his cheeks get dry as well? Nics went really red, now they are a bit dry, like he has a rash.

Well, I just wanted to say that I have lost 3ks in the last 3 weeks!! So very proud of myself! I have been doing weight watchers and making DH do it as well. I am only 2kg away from my pre pregnancy weight now YIPPEE!! Nic has another cold at the moment, poor little tacker. I hate it when they are sick. He seems better today though and slept really well today. He had carrot for the first time today, and after initially screwing his face up, after a coupld of mouthfulls, he was loving it. I think I will try avocado this week as well.
