    Beckstar - your holiday sounds lovely. We've just done the same sort of thing in Sydney and like you say, you're pretty limited when you still want the kids to stick to their routine but it is really nice to just spend time together without the normal household chores to do.

    Blanche - I think the older sibling is definitely a kick along for bubs to start moving isn't it. Hopefully Jack will be off and racing soon.

    Elena is well and truly crawling properly now. No more commando crawling - up on her knees and off. I've spent the last few days dragging her back from the stereo, cds, tv etc. She tries to follow Izzy constantly. Izzy is loving the attention and now spends a lot of time racing over and giving Elena huge cuddles - its so cute. I've tried a few times now to give Elena rice cereal but she's just not interested yet. Not really concerned yet - one less person to prepare meals for!

    Lulu - WTG on the crawling Elena!

    Blanche - is Jack taken off crawling yet?

    Jodi - saw on your FB that Emily cut a tooth - yay! Was she grizzly leading up to it? Did you have any clue it was coming through?

    How is everyone else going? Bek, how was the massage?

    Our postnatal water fitness finished today as the bubs can only go until they are 6 months old Joshua got his certificate for it though so I'm a proud mum LOL....now I just have to find some other exercise to do....really got to get back into pilates and aikido....

    We started rice cereal on the weekend and got it on DVD and pics. Joshua screwed his nose up at first but then really enjoyed it. The first day he only ate maybe a teaspoon and yesterday and today he ate the whole lot of what mixed up which was about one tablespoon.....going to try maybe sweet potato later in the week I think.

    We have our 6 month immunisation tomorrow, not looking forward to it Joshua has been a grumpy bum the last week and a half, refuses to sleep during the day and is tossing and turning at night so I think the needles aren't going to help with anything....

    I completely forgot about the 6 month needles!

    That's great Joshua is starting to like solids. Emily hates vegies still, but loves her fruit. I might try again in the next couple of weeks.
    She was really unsettled on Sunday night, hardly slept. I only slept 3 hours. Then yesterday a tooth appeared. But apart from that, she was ok.
    I saw on FB you said he got his first certificate, how cute! lol

    We had a fantastic time away. Except we missed the girls like crazy. Can't wait till our family holiday next month. We're going to Townsville in 2 weeks, but not sure if we're taking the girls or not. We did have a babysitter arranged, but they forgot, and have made plans for that weekend

    lulu- Wow on Elena cawling, I bet you have your hands full now. Amelie is still hardley even rolling so I dont think she will be moving anytime soon.

    Laranna- hope the needles go ok. We have ours on Friday but Amelie is nomally fine.

    Jodie- I am so jelous about your time away. Dh and I are dying for some time away but wont get it till next year some time. Amelie is opposite to Emily loves her vegies but not her fruit or custard.

    Although we are going to the country this weekend to see Dh's sister but it wont be a holiday only one night in a tiny country town. We went to other weekend to see his brother and Amelie slept the whole 3 hr trip and slept really well while we were there I thought it would be a bit different beacause she is older now but she is just so laid back.

    We put Amelie's head underwater for the first time last week at swimming she loved it.

    Hope everyone is well!

    Jodi - I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday but I bet it was lovely to get back to your girls. Yay for Emily cutting a tooth.

    Laranna - that's brilliant that Joshua is enjoying his solids so much. I'm still not having any luck with Elena. Maybe he's unsettled because he is about to cut a tooth or start crawling? "They" say that babies get unsettled before they hit a bit developmental change.

    Kristale - that's great that Amelie travels so well. My folks used to live in Harvey and Izzy was fantastic too - slept in the car most of the way and then I think the country air helped her sleep at night too. Yay for Amelie putting her head under water. What a clever little girl. Where are you going for swimming?

    Well, Elena is now crawling properly on hands and knees, pulling herself up on furniture and getting herself into a sitting position. I'm amazed at how quickly it has all happened - a full two months ahead of when Izzy did it. Ellie has her 6 months injections today (should have been last week but she had a bit of a sore throat) and Izzy has to have her 18 months injection too so I'm not looking forward to the next few days with two grumpy girls!

    Still not crawling here, still rocking on his knees hes so close but so far lol!! Jack also has 2 teeth got them last monday and didnt even seem to bother him which im so happy about cos DD was such a bad teether!

    wow slow down Elena!! sounds like she will be walking in no time. hope the needles dont muck them around to much for you.

    Kristale- glad Amelie loved going underwater..very cute!!

    Jodi- glad u had a nice time away. that would be nice to get away!

    Laranna- how did Joshua go with his needles?

    ive been on anti depressants since last wednesdayfor PND, i think this whole year has taken its toll on me and just got to me, it was hard to admit it but im glad i went to the doctors im feeling much better this week.
