Kate - Sounds like you had a great pregnancy and labour. Amelia definitely is meant to be here.

Fluff - Poor Jack, hope the anitbiotics kick in soon and Jack gets better quickly.

HJ - B would look very cute with hair clips in, but yeah I'd be worried about her choking, if she is anything like Lara and puts anything and everything in her mouth.

[hj1981]

Hahahahaha Leigh - ur the first to post in this new thread - u know what that means dont you???????

[Leigh26]

No what?

[hj1981]

U will be the first to fall pregnant out of our group! hehehehe

[Leigh26]

There is no chance of that happening, I can't have anymore kids. So looks like you're the next in line ha ha.

Congrats Didi, well done on the weight loss. Well done Jorda standing on her own. V doesnt want to stand at all. She just prefers everyone to pick her up and carry her everywhere.

HJ - Still not all that well, was going to walk down to the Dr's yesterday but just couldnt budge as well it was raining. So will try and walk down to the Dr's today. Not confident in driving yet. Fingers crossed no rain today. B will get a tooth soon, and they will be nice sharp little buggers too.

sorry i havent been posting much. Been pretty hectic latley as u who are on my facebook know.

Ill do some of Mia's stats now while i have a chance (tho shes destroying the lounge room lol)

Mia got her 2nd tooth today, so she has both her bottom ones and thats it.
Shes been walking for a month now, tho still prefers to crawl. Shes walks around other ppls houses, but not mine much? mayb coz we have tiles through out??
She talks alot, says, mum, dad, nan, Mia, yay, bub, bath, wassat (whats that), up, ta, oooop (oops), dink (drink), yum, hello, eeya (seeya) eeya rater (seeya later), dont touch (mayb i have said this one too much? lol) dont, no.... and the list goes on.
Plays hide and seek and peek a boo.
Blows kisses
takes her tops, socks and pants off all the time
points at everything and everyone
gives Hi-5
tries to put clothes on and shoes (she likes to dress up)
Opens cupboards, draws, fridges and anything that opens (even DVD cases.. grrr)
Loves books, will sit there turning the pages and blabbering to herself for hours.
Has good understanding of instructions like, no, dont touch, get down, stop, clap hands, brush your hair, be nice, dance etc
Can climb off the bed and couch saftley. Climbs onto everything possible.
does her booty dance to any kind of music.
Is just starting to put her toys away.

Thats all i can think of for now..

RE cows milk - we are on our last tin of formula here, and Mia is down to 2 bottles a day, one in the morning and one at night. We have about 1/2 a tin left and some sample packs. Not too sure how ill make the transition yet to cows milk, but she has abit now during the day every now and then and shes fine with it. She will be on full cows milk by the time she is 13 months.

She will eat anything. Shes still not too happy about having fruit, but she will eat it. 90% of the time she eats what we eat. When we are running behind or busy etc, she will have raffertys with some fresh veg or rice etc.

Im abit stuck atm with breakfast. She has weetbix and porridge and i rotate it. Then she has a little bit of toast after it. But is there any other cereals she can have? they freak me abit coz they can be pretty high in sugar.

also, nuts. Has anyone given their bub nuts yet? (not whole nuts obviously, peanut butter etc) we do have a nut allergy in the family, my half brother from my dads side, so im kinda weary about giving her some. But the longer i delay it the more chance of an allergy anyway. So i was thinking giving her a peanut butter sandwich sitting in the carpark of emergency (we are 30 mins from hospital).

Olives Bday in 2 days yay! Mia's next thursday

[AmandaJ]

Happy Birthday Olive and Liam I hope that you both have wonderful birthdays today.

Just quick, I've got Julian's party to finish organising, we're having it at a park so have to finish cake etc.

Have a great day everyone.

Didi - Congratulations on the weight loss. Bet you feel and look great. I've been very naughty the past 2 weeks, my diet has gone out the window. Must get serious about it again. I'd like to lose another 10kg (15kg if I can manage it).

Csab - Hopefully you're able to get to the dr today. That was nice of the lady to call & ask how you're going.

I am thinking of putting Lara in MCN's. She is in full time disposables at the moment. Anyone have any suggestions of what to use? I have no idea.

Gotta go, have a great day!

[1MOREPLZ]

Hun don't go and buy heaps of one brand incase it doesn't suit bub!!!!
The most conventional MCN we have is Itti Bitti's
there are so many brands out there why don't you pop in the cloth thread and speak with all the old MCN hands....i know a fair bit but they are more knowledgable!!!
