Hi Guys,

We had a mixed weekend too! I'm going back to work in a month so i've been trying to get Ella onto a bottle for the last 2 months now. Argggh! she just will not take it. DH tried again on the bottle and i stepped out of the picture entirely. She was so unsettled the whole day and finally went to bed at 1am after a huge BF! Dont know what to do if she doesnt take it.

On the solids front she's doing well. We met up with ILs again and she had shredded beef with noodles and soup. She loved it! And here i am trying to give her mashed carrots. I think she's going "Give me real food".

AJP - Ella loves her weetbix in the morning and i also give her some pear as well. I eat b'fast with her and she's been having a tiny bit of my toast which she chews carefully. We've been doing this for the last 3 days and she likes it more and more! But last month she wouldnt eat much. And even now on some days she just doesnt want to eat (coz she's been a guts the day before). This week were going to try couscous.

Christy - Poor Evie. Lots of cuddles and maybe a break from solids?

Vicky - Sorry to hear you ex is being a *****. Probably why he's an EX. Must be hard on all the whole family.

Ella change table is near a window she loves gazing outside - we're lucky she's easy to get changed and helps by putting her arms through her sleeves Sometimes she does it too quickly misses the arm holes and ends up with the top around her chest.

Gigi - some mums in our group found that the babies didn't like the rice cereal. Ella never took the rice cereal on its own so i laced it with apple. I use to lace everything with apple....she loves it.
