sheree - lola t Lachlans little bed time game, though i agree i would think it was a bit dangerous too. Bummer about the lime bumper, i love lime. I haven't seen pics of lachlans room sounds really nice though, would you mind coming down here to paint Archies for me?? he he On the feeding themselves thing (i dont want to sound like a smarty pants BTW) Archie actually fed himself a whole bowl of spaghetti with his fork yesterday with no help from me and not much of a mess, i think he just really enjoys the independence it gives him, the last few months of scraping food of the floor every mealtime has just about driven me bonkers though! He still uses his hand to though probably 60% forka nd 40% hand atm, wont be longa nd no more mess! (thats what i keep telling myself) I reckon lachlan will pick it up really quickly now. Have you checked Ebay for the cot bumper?

christine - what does Riley weigh now? I weighed Archie on our scales at home and he was 13.5 kilos the little lump, he is pretty tall though too, will have to meaasure his height again. Arch will eat anything you put in front of him, particularly fruit atm, he has had a food adiction since 1 day old!

nat - hi stranger! i miss chatting to you, sorry to hear that you are feeling stressed about the study atm. We have a little hurricane here to, full of attitude to boot. Everything you say to him he turns with this bad attitude and says NO. i purposefuly have rarey used the word no to him to try and avoid this stage, darn it! Woohoo on the inspection, boohoo on the ironing, mine is starting to pile up too, i usually do it every day when Arch goes to bed but this week he has run me ragged the only thing i have energy for is BB. hang in there i hope the next 5 weeks go really quick!

Last time i went to playgroup there were 3 mums with huge pregnant bellies, today there were 4 capsules on a table full of newborns!! I though it strange that all these people had bubs at the same time from the same playgroup. The first thought that entered my head was "thank god its not me that has to deal with a newborn again". So im thinking i defiantely made the right choice to delay ttc for a few years.

Archie went to bed screaming hystrecially again, can't work out what it is but it nearly rips my heart out i haven't seen him that upset since his 6 month needles.

Is anyones else's kid loving books atm?? All day long Arch will bring his books over to read, he never manages to sit through quite the whole story but he really enjoys them its great cause i have always loved reading kids books, i always wanted my kids to have a huge bookcase full of great books.
