laranna - thats hilarious, you must be a very careful driver or no corners on your way for the handbag to stay on, luckily it didn't fall off. about the rolling don't stress, jo only did it once or twice then didn't do it again for over a week then when he started up again it was like he'd been doing it for ages. so i think josh will be doing it more often from now and playing with his feet will cause him to roll on his side more often, then seizing the opportunity he'll be rolling more often. hope your feeling better too, its terrible when you feel like crap, but i'm sure joshie is making you feel better just by looking at him.
beckstar - i too looked at macey on fb she's just gorgeous, i often forget that you can comment on pictures there. she looks like she had a ball. she's just absolutely beautiful. good luck on your operation, and sounds like you've got a well timed holiday in there. i meant to say i know your from ballarat, but we often get down there as dp's parents live in snake valley.
jodi - emily is too funny, she obviously wants to fasttrack her solids, moving on to the rice bubbles so quickly lmao. jo is doing the same as emily, the leg lifting on his tummy, he's been getting up on the knees quite well but this morning he was up on his toes. he is a bit like macey and emily in that he'd rather have me turn him over then doing it himself.
lulu - wow on the ellie and the early walking, sounds like she'll be doing it in no time, already getting accross the room wow. i've heard the sibling theory before and seen it with my own eyes, my older nephew walked at 14 months, then his brother walked at just over 7 months, crawled for 2 days then walked, he seriously looked like the dancing baby that used to be on ally mcbeal.
and thanks to everyone for their advice re the sleeping issue, turns out i just have to hold him a little bit longer and he sleeps a bit better, he's still not a great sleeper but we're getting there. i do have another question re the sleeping, with starting to roll, is there any way you can stop rolling in their cot? and is sleeping on their sides ok? jo has just started wanting to sleep on his side, i'm a bit hesitant with this as i'm scared he'll roll on to his tummy and that makes me think of sids.
wow on the pooing issue too, jo does a couple every day, always has. we had to actually take him to the dr's this week as he had bits of blood in there, it was only a little bit, but scared the bejeezers out of me. my sister seemed to think it was from teething, but the dr wasn't too concerned and didn't really give an answer, just to keep an eye on it.
as for the contraception, we're not doing anything either (literally lol) with the hours dp is working I'm usually asleep before he gets home then he's snoring away when i wake for feeds. but if it happens it happens and we'd thank for any blessing we were given.
anyway enough of my babbling and hello to everyone i have missed, i only really get to get on on weekends, so sorry i'm not on much but i read up as much as i can and I take advice from each and everyone of you so thank you.
