Aww, how would they have been able to choose between your three bubs?! They are all so beautiful! How is Terri going? We haven't seen her in here for ages, I've been thinking of her, tell her I said 'hi'!

M has an ear infection, Dr thinks it's because of her cold, So M is on antibiotics to help kick the ear infection
Apparently it's pretty nasty as-well.
Ange i feel for ya.

Viv - sucks that you couldn't go. Hope DH is holding up OK.
Ange - MILs *sigh* mine is queen of unexpected visits. Good news - she lives 2 mins away so never stays for a week. Bad news - she lives 2 mins away.
Mo - hope M is on the mend real quick. Poor little thing, can't be much fun.
Trish - hope K is feeling better soon too. You guys have had your fair share of illness!
Bonds thing - had no idea it was even on. Is it only in Vic so far? Not my kinda thang, pretty much for the reasons Viv mentioned. Although L would win for sure, you know, being so 'pretty' and all
Food - for those that make your own, what's your/bub's fav combo? Lacking inspiration already and we're only 2 weeks in. So far he's had, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, zucchini, baby peas. Guess i could try some carrots. Anyone done brocoli yet? Bit scared of the wind factor, might wait a few weeks. For brekkie he just the Bellamy's baby porridge with some pureed apple mixed in.
For older bubs - when did you introduce meat? Think I'm going to wait a while yet.
Also - what do you give them for lunch? We'll probably start lunch next week.
OK, enough questions from me, I'll bugger off now!

what's funny, willow, is that james will only eat... banana... that's it. he's had a little bit in his cereal for the last two days. doesn't seem to be reacting, so i'm a little pleased that he's at least eating one 'real' food.
his gp gave us a referral to a baby dietician who may have ideas. i reckon jamo just wants to do what he wants... as usual.
we tried a little broccoli. his reaction was hilarious... he just felt the tiny bits then slimed them all back out. ha...
so... my monkey likes bananas. i would kill to be able to do your menu!

Willow, M has pretty much the same as L for brekkie.
Fruit M has apple, banana, pear, She loves apple custard that we make.
Veggies M has pretty much everything, Huge veggie fan here. Loves Broccoli esp when it's with pumpkin.
M also likes avocado & banana together.
We tried M on meat & it didn't go down well at all, so gonna wait longer for her.

Willow- Lu has everything, including meat chicken and fish. i guess she was on solids for 2 months before i gave her meat.
She doesn't like it at all if i mash it. She eats more if i give her chunks to pick up and eat. messy, but she eats a lot.
Other vegies she likes are corn, brocolli, parsnip, avocado, carrot, cauliflower.
Fruit she likes are ripe pear, banana, mandarin (i put this in mesh bag) mango, stewed apple or pear.
I give her prunes everyday to keep things churning..... i mix it with plain yoghurt sometimes, or just straight up.
We still have porridge for breaky, starting to try quick oats. i add any fruit to the porridge, pear banana even prunes sometimes.
I have Annabel Karmels book on feeding your baby and toddler, has lots of ideas. My MCHN has a copy people borrow, she also said libraries often have it.
Viv- Like you say, he's his own dog, he'll get there. i tell you what lu LOVES and i sometimes give her if we are out and about...... the rafferty's puree's. they actually taste good, maybe J will like them, there is a banana based one.. a friends baby will not eat home cooked food, only eats from a jar, i think it is a consistency thing. I heard that too much banana causes constipation...... just a word of warning.

sorry haven't been back so swamped with friends having babies and stuff!
Hope your all well and your bubs are good!
For whoever was asking about the teething necklace I just get them off an online store if you want the name just pm me! Still no tooth though its so close but just taking its time!
We have started swimming lessons and Myles loves it! Its the cutest thing!
Yeah we went to the bonds thing only cause Myles is going to be a star and mummy is never going to have to work again hahahahahahaa! Only kidding! we only went for a bit of fun and he didn't even smile anyway! Viv i agree with what your saying! As i said i wasn't going thinking the boy was going to winor even wanting him to win!! But my god you should have seen some of the stage mums! Took me back to dancing days!
Myles has been having some more solids and has even had some water out of a lil sippy (I hate that word is there another word for them?)cup thing, he isn't so much drinking as chewing the end!
Viv so sorry you didn't get to go to the funeral today.
Mo hope your M gets better soon poor love!
Trish poor K hope he gets better soon! I have had a feeling AF would be back for me to! Dam i like not having to worry about it!
Anyway better go bbl! xxx

Hi all
We've got childcare!!! Rang around the other places where we were on the list and one of my preferred places could offer us 3 days straight away and then guarantee 5 days when we need it when DH goes back to work. Going to put him in 2 days a week to start with. Very happy!
DH was considering taking L to the Bonds thing, but didn't end up going. Amber/Kate - I wish I'd known you were in the City as I would have popped over and said hi.
Agree with everything you said Viv. Am going to send L's photo into the Mother and Baby comp tho. Probably doesn't stand a chance but its a bit of fun. Think these child modelling agencies are a bit of a rip off. What it would cost me in taking a day off L probably wouldn't make anyway. Poo on your MIL.
Got L's professional photos back today. I am so happy with them. L would win any comp for sure based on how he looks in them!! LOL
Still no food here. Probably will look at starting up again next weekend.
Hope all the sick bubs get better and the sick mummies too!
Hey
Yep Im totally in your corner Viv! Cant think of anything worse than baby competition / photo crappy things. Agree with everything ya said! I think if Chels decides to take the modelling/acting path, whatever when she is older, go for it but I aint gonna force her into it when she's a bub!
Viv - That totally sux bout today! How did your hubby go?
Saffi - YAY on the childcare place! Must be a relief now!
Trish - Sux about AF! Oh and I didnt end up goign to mothers group this week. Poo. My sis dislocated her knee (has bad knees like Mum - done it all there lives) and had to be rushed to hossy. She isnt too bad now though. Next week hopefully we can get there though!
Have a good night everyone!
