LUAA - i couldn't find the belly belly group. when i typed belly belly into the search box, i found Kelly Zantey's personal facebook, but not one for the group.

well i found you TARALEE - amongst over 100 taralees!!!!! makes Luaa's 63 entries look not so bad!!!

Tara - i think you live with guilt the moment you conceive! i feel so guilty the way bilby is not knocking back solids the way other babies her age are, she can't cope with ANY lumps. Let alone a MOTH young Sophie darling! LOL

i have FINALLY found a savoury baby food that bilbs will swallow with not TOO much of a face, chicken with rice and veg (as long as i leave out the whole peas). Hurray, after trying EVERY type of savoury food available in all those little tins and jars. I thought mealtimes wouldn't be a battle until she was a toddler - haaa! what did i know?

I've got gastro atm (sorry for TMI) and i've noticed bilbs is having much longer feeds now i'm sick. She still looks fit as the proverbial fiddle.

Bilbs is doing lots of things in her playpen that show me she is practicising walking skills, it's so cute.

Her Gran, who has never seen her, referred to bilby as a big baby the other night on the phone. i know of bubs half bilbs age, the same weight. i don't know why, but it really bugged me, to have this grandmother, who shows very little interest in our girl, say this. Mainly cos it's not true, and even if it was, she's our lovely bub and we'd love her no matter what. Over protectiveness beginning early i guess. i don't know, it was the tone of her voice.

the paradox is, her other grand-daughter, two months older, who lives close by, is actually a large bub (but still very cute). I don't make a thing of that bub (our niece) being big, so why should this Gran make a thing about our bub's size.

Yes, add that to the list Taralee, i feel guilty often, cos bilbs doesn't have grandparents. The only one she has is a plane ride away and not interested.
