Hi,
Sara - Glad to see Ari is better, how was the fete? Im sure Emilys first word will be "Renae" (her big sisters name - same - thats all she hears!)
Jo - How cute on Nicolas saying his first word! Emily blabbles heaps but no words yet - although if shes like her sis once she stars she'll never stop!
Caro - I'll be sorry to see you go :(,
Karina - As someone else posted - mabey Claire isnt ready for solids? Or just doesnt like the food!!
Ozziehoffy - I know what you mean about those sippy cups! Em just bites dont on the mouth piece but wont suck the water through.
Rachel - How cute on the rolling and getting into everything, just wait until she's crawling!!
Mum5boys - Your poor little girl with all the brothers! (but good for you!) I have 2 older brothers and that was a nightmare for me. Dumb question i know but im really intrested in what type of car ppl drive when they have more than three kids?
And hello to everyone else - i have to be quick otherwise i get logged out and the post wont go through.:)

Re the solids, yep, only been doing one food at a time. She spews any solid foods! It doesnt matter what it is.. it still gets spewed. I havent tried avo yet though. I might give that a go. If she doesnt like it, then I can eat it!
Sarah, no she doesnt really gag before spewing. She'll just be sitting there and all of a sudden she spews! Its very wierd, but , good suggestion, I will try to make her food a bit more smooth/runny. I've been doing what the silly ECHN said to do - she tells us "dont puree it, just mush it with a fork". I still puree it though as I cant get it nice and smooth enough just by fork mashing it. I dont know about the ECHN.. she doesnt have children so some of the advice she gives is a bit strange sometimes.. YAY that Ari is much better!! Oooh how cute that she has found her feet. Claire loves to suck on her toes at the moment. Its very funny to watch. We have those rattle socks too. Claire just takes them off as soon as I put them on her though.
Cass, I bet he'll hve the ladies chasing after him when he is older, hey! Claires a real booby girl and loves her booby.
Shell, yeah maybe she isnt ready for solids. I'll go to the ECHN this week and ask for help!
Ohh someone has one of those food mesh net thingos.. maybe I could get one and try that and she could chomp on something, just to get used to the taste? She chomps on anything she can pick up now. What sort of stuff do you put in it?? It is just things that are a bit hard like raw apple or is it mushy stuff?
ohhhhhhhh she is awake! gotta go

Wow, 2 days in a row, I'm doing well. I am shopping for nappy stuff so get to browse bellybelly while things are loading. Karina - what on earth were you doing posting at 2am! OMG I thought I was bad going to bed late.
We spent the arvo at the beach today, it was such a beautiful day. Ari was not impressed by the salt water/sand. She loved it while dry but when the waves were lapping at her she chucked a wobbly and blooming Strand, no sowers/changerooms nearby so I tried to wash her off ina drinking fountain which is very hard to do with a wiggly babe and those silly taps that don't stay on unless your holding them. A lovely lady came and held the tap while I tried to wash my screaming wiggly baby in the drinking fountain - must have been quite a sight. I'm sure people thought she'd been stung by a stinger. I have the most gorgy photos of her in the water (before the screaming and eating sand hehe) wil post them in this new fangled photo thing I've seen in the top corner soon.
Rachel - woohoo so good to hear from you! Hey don't ever feel you can't post because you don't have time for personals, you know we only want to hear about your beautiful girl Grace :-) I have gotten very attached to our little belly buddies/babies group so it's not allowed to fall apart :-) Sounds like Grace and Ari would get along famously they could both roll around looking for mischief :-) I am going to have to get more exciting with Ari's food. You've inspired me.
Cass - hope your blocked duct clears up soon, have you worked out whats causing it? I know I had 1 bra that used to cause them each time I wore it. We are searching for a sippy cup that ari will like but so far it either flows too fast or not fast enough, might try a bottle and see how we go?
Shell- gosh your sig is beautiful! Emily is just gorgeous. I think Ari is going to be a talker too, I think I may need to invest in a soundproof room with both of them going non-stop.
Karina - hope you find a solution that suits soon, I hate vomit - ugh. We have a mesh and so far have put in banana which is really messy some pear and some apple and cubes of ice but Ari isn't big on holding things herself so it doesn't work all that well for us.
OK going to try and have a shower and get to bed before little missy wakes up. Anyone elses bubs still sleep school drop outs? Ari still wakes at around 11pm-midnight then at 5am, 7am. Not to mention all the niggly wake ups between 7pm and 10pm but they are getting better. She olny has a feed at 11, the rest of the time it's just resettling (oh anyone else find bub keeps waking up as they are trying to get up on hands and knees in their sleep? - I think I remember something like this with DS when he was a bit older, but I can't remember exctly?????)

Sarah, lol, Claire doesnt sleep all the way through the night so I'm up at all hours! She sleeps on her tummy now and tries to put her bum up in the air, its very cute. She is waking around 11pm, 1am, 3m and 6am, so thats when I'm awake! But sometimes i just get hungry in the middle of the night and I have to get up and eat. Oooh i'm planning on taking Claire to the beach! She loves her baths but not sure if she'll like the beach. I think we are going to go with our mothers group soon.
We went to the Baby and Kids market today. It was only up the road from home so thought I;d check it out with my mum and sister. Mum went crazy and bought a portable cot, stroller, a pile of little toys books and rattles for like 50c each, those fisher price block things, a rocking horse type thing and a castle type thing which i think the fisher price blocks go with. She spent $100 so we got some great bargains as something very similar to the portable cot we got ws advertised in a Big W book recently for bout $160. My sister wanted me to get another car seat so we could put it in mums car for when she babysits, but I am not so sure how I feel bout a second hand seat from someone I dont know as I have no way of knowing what its been through. My sister doesnt understand though because 'so and so used the same seat for all three of her kids over 7 year period".... yah, bub she bought it brand new. The seats there could have been damaged for all I know and theres not really any way I can really test the integrity of them. We do have a second hand seat but we got it from friends we know well and can trust. Maybe I am just over paranoid!

Ok, so ive worked out that if im on most days (bad weather keeps us indoors) i can keep up with everyone's posts and not get too overloaded!
Sara - Thanks fo the coment on my sig! How cute Ari would have been wiggling around in the water fountian! Reminds me of Em - chucking the wobbly!! i get this from her when she thinks shes been the pram too long! Cant wait to see your photos!
Karina - Good luck with Claire and the solids. I know what you mean about the car seat thing, im funny with anything i dont know where its been, as you said, you dont know whats happened it it.
I brought a umbrella for Em's 3 wheeler pram yesterday - its the main thing i hate about it, if im walking at the sun i cant get it out of her face (hence the purchase of the umbrella) But the umbre3lla hooks onto the side of the pram which was good - mind you the bloody thing cost $30 - for a small umbrella!!
Any one else got one of these prams - what do you do??
must go - Emilys on my knee trying to touch the keyboard!
