I'm trying to get the Dragon to have an early sleep cos we have to go out, but nooooo thanks mum.

Can you believe they're 8 months old!!!

Darcy is 70cm long
She is in 0 full length suits but she's a skinny minny and wears 000 and 00 still if it's just tops and pants
She a size 2 shoe and already has 4 pairs (but has a way to go to get to my 44 prs )
She makes me laugh all the time - every time I tell her 'no!" she laughs at me, she carries around my old wallet everywhere with her, her favourite new trick is to empty the bottom of the pantry - how can you get cross???

Darcy used to be a really bad eater - she wouldn't try anything. I made her some carrots cooked with rice and pureed that and since then she'll have a go at anything. She's always happiest if she thinks she eating what I've got and she seems to be a big fan of flavours, which I'm putting down to what she's used to with the BM. She loves the pear and avo, baked beans pureed with pumpkin, tomato risottos and pasta sauses, spinach. Finger food wise she just eats what you give her - banana, toast (plain - mean mother I am), her first biscuit yesterday, cold hot chips(she's only had 4 though), chicken/turkey, potato. She loves frozen banana quarters. I just put her on the floor in the kitchen with one - then I have to wash the floor but at least it's clean

They aren't dumb questions Allison. I ask lots of silly questions - but if I don't ask I never find out. Yogurt was essentially Darcy's first food. I buy not the Heinz ones......that's right the Vaalia ones. They're smaller servings as she doesn't eat a whole great quantity. I also just buy her full fat Vanilla vaalia if the baby stuff's not on special which it usually is at our woolies.
