Kristen - that's a gorgeous new photo of Mia in your ticket. Yay on the bottle feeding. I love the idea of all feeds being between 7am and 7pm, but Izzy is such a wilful little princess that if she doesn't want to eat she simply doesn't. Its such a pain.

Sarah - I agree bubbies need to know the proper names for things and that's a very, very good point you make about pedophiles. That sort of thing terrifies me. I'm already worrying about someone snatching Izzy when she's out playing in the garden in a couple of years time.

Dan - good on you for dividing up jobs. I thought the same as you did at first - my job is the house and the baby, while DH works all day so when he comes home (walks down the stairs!!!) his day should be over and he should be allowed to relax. I then had a friend tell me that she and her DH (who is a pretty high level trial lawyer) took alternate nights for 12 months (!!!!) sitting up all night cos their very refluxy baby couldn't lie down. Her view (which I agree with now) is that she works just as hard if not harder than DH does during the day, so when he gets home they share everything. It made a lot of sense to me so we now take turns of getting up for Izzy during the night, early morning etc. Soooooo much easier.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry - pathetic personals. My folks have been up all day and only just gone home so I have to get Izzy bathed, fed (ha ha) and into bed so I can start dinner! Hope you're all well though and your bubbies are beautiful, peaceful, sleepy babies by this stage of the day.
