    katones - Jack looks like he's loving solids. When did you start him on solids?

    csab & Amanda - I hope your bubs are feeling better!

    Sami - How did Z go today? Sleeping better? Oh and I read up about white spots on gums in Baby Love and I think the spot on Maya's gum is a cyst, which is harmless. So no teeth here. It would be nice to have an explanation of her behaviour over the last few weeks though!

    amy - Good to hear the move went well.

    Hollye - I hope Mia's vaccinations go well.

    Hi to everyone else.

    Well.. I've had a FANTASTIC day! And a good night too. Maya woke twice (as usual) but I was able to put her straight back down after the feeds and she would fall asleep on her own. Then this morning I got myself out of bed earlier than normal and headed to the movies - mums and bubs session - with my friend's sister and her 1 year old to see 'He's just not that into you'. It was so nice seeing a movie again though at times I was distracted with Maya. But gosh I am loving that she is taking a dummy now. I popped one in her mouth when she was getting grisly and she was quiet for the rest of the movie. Then we all had lunch together and with dummy in her mouth she had a snooze in her stroller so I was then able to do some shopping! And the best thing of all.. she didn't cry in the car. I am SO loving the dummy right now.

    Tanya: Wlecome to dummy heaven. I don't know how you coped before without one.

    Jude's been weird since his vaccinations 3 days ago, he's been sleeping a lot and today he's been quite grizzly. Do the effects last this long?

    Kuraiza - with us the effects of the vaccinations lasted one week! Sorry - hope it doesn't last as long for you.

    Tanya - wow what a lovely day, that's so nice! I've been meaning to see that movie... haven't made it to the movies since X was born.

    Hollye - hope the needles go well tomorrow, and go Mia, looks like she's growing well

    Amy - yaaay welcome back hun nice to have you back. I'm so glad to hear it all went well, and congrats to Miss Bethany on her rolling! X still hasn't worked out how to roll off his fat gut... and for a first today I found him asleep on his tum! I was so surprised. When I went to roll him back, he'd woken himself up and was most sleepy and surprised to find himself the wrong way up!

    csab - that was so nice of you to say I'm good going my bookkeeping. The reality is I'm just soooo far behind it's horrific, but I'm adopting a very strict prioritisation approach - i.e. get this BAS done and THEN I'll start cleaning up the last year. Good luck with yours!

    SamiH - hope Z behaved himself today. I told X to send him good vibes.

    Katones - ooooh wow Jack looks so happy with his solids! Gorgeous pics.

    Well my AF took a turn for the weird. Even though it started the other week (or so I thought) then it stopped after a day or so. And now it's started again. Has anyone else ever got this weird messy kinda start/stop bizo? Is it cos i'm still expressing?

    I'm going to my first WW meeting tomorrow - feeling highly motivated at present (hopefully that'll last!).

    belfie - AF could go a bit weird - i spotted on and off for a while, then had it for only 3 days. Who knows hey???!! WW - i would love to do that too - good luck, you will be a star - i need to do something where i have to face someone everyweek, not strong enough jsut for myself or DH Plus he buys me treats the bugger!!

    Z slept well last night, had 1.5 hours this morning (after a resettle) but then only 30 mins and woke at 1.30 - and then when getting tired i ahd preschool/school run so home at 3.30 - whipped him into bed at 3.40 but had to get him up at 4pm for calisthenics until 5.30. So he is absolutely stuffed!!!! He went to bed at 6.45pm so fingers crossed ....

    Oh, and I found a neat way to tell if teeth coming through - get a clean glass, put it in their mouths like having a drink and gently of course, push the glass ontheir gums - of course it will go whitish cos of restriction of blood, but you can see really clearly if there are teeth there or not - and Zander's aare definitely there!

    Tanya - i sooo wanna see that movie - good on you for getting to it - the most exciting thing i saw was Bolt in 3D with Riley - but Zander was really good then a month ago.

    gotta go - need some fruit for lunch boxes so sending DH off to market, to market ....

    Anyway, on a different note. Jude was a nightmare last night. I hope that was the last of the immunisation effects. He kept waking up. I guess the one good thing about breast refusal and formula feeding is that my husband has no real excuse not to share the burden on a night like that.

    Sami: That sounds like a good trick for seeing teeth, it's like a magical looking glass into the future. I don't think Jude will be teething for a while. But I just wanted to tell everyone that my niece had her top teeth come through before her bottom teeth, so don't forget to look up top, too.

    OMG I am so super cranky... Miss Bethany had just had her 6amish bottle and had re settled and my mobile rang, (I leave it on over night for emergancies, old habits die hard it is from years of living alone!!) Anyhoo through my sleep eyes I gaze at the id screen......It is my younger (much dumber) bro. Calling at 7AM MY TIME!!!!!!!! Ok so that is 8am his time but I can kinda get it he runs one of the family motels (there are 2) so he is up and about but really come on people. I managed to indicated that this was not a good time for a converstation and hang up. But too late the damage was done...guess who wanted up and out of the cot and play time??? Grrrrrrrrrr. She is usually really good about snoozing till about 9 after that feed. Weirdest part, I NEVER hear from my bro NEVER. This is the first phone call in like months. And he had to make it a 7 frigging am. Well atleast I got the floors cleaned before it got to hot.
