Angel - that sounds like a fun book, will have to keep a look out for something like that, i had a touchy feel book which has all the little flaps now ripped off too

Dee - looks like you are going to have another big boy on your hands Dee, you will be able to start a basketball team with you boys ...Jesse would bite our ankels at one time ... he would pull my pants up at the ankle & then have a good chow down at it - sometimes quite strongly - we would just firmly say 'NO BITING JESSE" & i would tell him that biting hurts mummy, everytime he did it ... not sure why the ankles, he hasn't done it for ages.

Belinda - try to relax as much as you can, hope the household is doing well.

Have put Jesse in the next size up in nappies for the night time, he has not had a leaky nappy for 3 nights now, whoohoo !!!.... so may be able to get away with not buying the pads. I use the Aldi brand Mamia & they are sized from 7-16kg large & then from 12-24kg Ext.Large so with him being close to 11kg now the ext.large size should work for a while.

I have been reading the book 'old macdonald had a farm' & Jesse seems to be really enjoying it ... he will clap, laugh & dance a little when i make the animal noises .... so the book time is getting better slowly.
