Kerry, I like the name change! Thanks for the info about baby balsm, I hadn't heard that before. I've had a couple of bites too, OUCH!

Donna, good to hear that FIL is doing well. Don't listen to the health nurse. They seem to be so set in there ways that they wont listen to any other ideas. With the vegies, I just steam them and I give them to Ashlyn first so that she has a bit of a chew on them before she sees other things on our plates. Once she sees bread or meat the vegies get thrown! She really seems to like the bigger vegies, like brocolli and beans because they are easier to hold.

Lauren, wow thats so cute that she can pull herself up on things. I've been bad on the weight loss to. I just can't seem to give up the chocolate. Argh, I've only got 3 weeks until I have to squeeze myself back into uniform.

Pam, I hope your feeling better. You sound like you're in desperate need of a break. We're always here if you need a chat.

Sue, I remember doing the 2 hour walks about the same age with Danielle. It was the best way to lose weight. I would love to do it now, but Danielle just can't go for that long. She can only make it to the shops and most the way back, but then I have to carry her while pushing the pram.

Kell, glad the mastitis is all clear up. The buddy tags look great.

Ashlyn has a shocking cold. She's had a temp since Monday and it developed into a fever yesterday. Poor little thing sounds like a cat purring when she is sleeping. Hope she gets better soon. I hate seeing the poor thing look so sick.

BBL, sounds like she is awake.
