Cas - Congrats on your engagement!!! Very happy for you darl. xx

Caro - wow, those pics of the car were full on! I am amazed that noone was killed!

Cass - Glad to hear that Monty is doing ok. We are still deciding whether or not to head up to Australia Zoo when we are over in Brissy. There is a couple of Wildlife park at the theme parks that I have been looking into as well, so not sure. Do you have any other recommendations for thigs to see with the kids? I will be in Brissy for a coupld of days while DH has some meetings. We are staying in Spring Hill, so I suppose I can just walk to places in the city.

Dragon - welcome! What is your DS name?

Hi everyone else, sorry, can't remember what everyone else has said (again!)

Nic is doing great. He is making his first attempts to move this week. He is enjoying being on his tummy now, and reaches for things in front of him. He hasn't quite got the idea of how to go foward just yet, but is pushing up on his arms. He is going great with his food, and so far, he has liked everything we have given him. I started to give him a piece of pair in one of those mesh things, and it kept him happy for about 1/2 an hour! Well, had better go and gve him a feed before I have to collect the girls. xx

CASS, congrats on your engagement, thats great news !! yay for Izzy rolling. How cute. She'll be rolling all over the place soon! Claire rolls everywhere. The other day she was sleeping on our bed while hubby was reading in the bedroom and she woke up and rolled off the bed onto the floor. She was very cranky.

Cass, Yay that Oskar is so much better now. poor little guy. Thats great that Monty is doing well at his new home. Are you going to keep in touch with his new owners and get updates on him?

Dragon, hello and welcome!

Sarah, hope Ari is ok. ikwym about giving her medications, I'm not 100% comfortable with giving Claire anything either. Hope she settles down for you and you dont need to use anything for long.

Jo, woohoo for Nic loving his food so much! Claire is still not so sure about food.

Had another busy day today. Got my car fixed so now I can actually drive places! It had problems before where it would stall every 10 metres, and it wasnt just operator error. I had to get some stupid part replaced and it was rather expensive! But its good that I dont have to rely on bus if I want to go anywhere.

My mum came to visit today which was nice. Claire thought it was all very very funny and laughed at my mum lots. It was our anniversary yesterday and we are going to go out one night this week when I am feeling better. Mum cant wait to baby sit! Typical first time grandmother!

Went out today to the post office and bought 16 books for $20! Bargain! They are picture story books for Claire. I do already hve some books, but I want to get into the habit of reading to her more often so I got some more books. On my way back home I saw about 40 people standing outside John Howards electoral office protesting about something. They must have thought it might get nasty because there were police guarding the entrance of the building. I didnt stop and talk to anyone, but I'm guessing it was something to do with people with disabilities or nursing home funding or something, as most of the people were in wheel chairs, had downs sydnrome and other various disabilities and were holding signs like 'howard, would you want to live like this". So yeah that was s bit of my excitement for the morning!

Claire also had some pumpkin today. I still dont know if she likes it though. I suppose she doesnt understand the concept of it yet as when I put it in her mouth she pushes it back out with her tongue and it ends up everywhere. Very cute, but sooo messy. I think she is swallowing some though as DH said her poo stunk reallly really bad, and thats coming from a man who can never smell anything, so it must have been pretty stinky!


oh gosh sorry, i have just totally crapped on! sorry.
