Amy - that sounds just awful you poor thing! Glad Bethany is on the mend! Oh and I googled RSV cos I didn't know what it is either- Respiratory syncytial virus (link).

SamiH - tehehe so cute from Z re the food. I think X isn't ready, but yesterday I had MG at my place and one girl bought chocolate snowballs (you know, the marshmallow things) and X kept STARING at them. Was hilarious... mebbe he wants solids now after all!

Katones - woo hoo for overalls & a successful night! Good luck with the less hours too - how many do you want?

Tanya - when we did a early parenting class (all about settling stuff) I came home mad keen to implement it, and nothing worked at ALL for the first day or so. So hang in there hun, good luck with it. Great that you get some follow-up and chance for more question.

I've got the IL's coming over this mornign (all the neighbourhood dogs have a regular sat morning play) then it's garage time! Hard rubbish collection on monday and my garage SOOOOOO needs a clean out. DH's back is bad atm, so him & MIL are on baby duty while I get into the cobwebs! And finally after DH has been snoring SO loudly all week I actually was so stuffed last night I fell asleep before him and got a good night's sleep. At last phew!

Oh and a teething question. We keep thinking X is teething... then he's not... then he is! His teeth on the top are very visible in the front of the gum IYKWIM (a friend yesterday who has an older child) thought they weren't far away at all. But the fact they're very visible, does that mean anything? I can't tell so much with the bottom gum, cos his little slobbery tongue always comes out to cover it! Plus last night he was waaaaaay grumpy, big red rosy cheeks, drooly and not a happy camper, jan! And he's munching on his hands, but he's always been a fist muncher anyways so I ignore that.

hope everone has a great long weekend! We only realised it was a long weekend on Thursday lol.
