    Leash - I'm sorry to hear of Shel's loss Let me know if I can do anything..... and rescheduling is fine babe, just tell me when (and woohoo for the weight loss, I'm still a house size)

    Beck - yay for rolling - we haven't got that here yet..

    Hi to everyone else - typing with one hand at the moment which craps me...lol

    DH is putting DS down for a nap - my good little girl is drinking her bottle. She was so good at the birthday party this morning - just drank her bottle, smiled at everyone and fell asleep in the ergo till we left, then went back to sleep in the car!!

    DS was a bit shy and didn't want to get down most of the party - must take after me in the shyness stakes - wonder if its a genetic thing? hmmm.. ponder ponder..

    Leash - my condolences for Shel's grandmother passing away

    Mel - no rolling for E here either... should be anytime soon, right?

    Hi everyone I'm exhausted today, E fed more than normal and it takes it out of me when he does... like he's used up all my energy reserves. Tomorrow I'm off to a friend's baby shower, should be fun. She's having a boy too.

    Good Morning My fatty little boomba is.....

    5 months old!!!


    Leasha and Shel, soo sorry to hear of your loss, I hope you have a safe journey to Tamworth and home again.

    Grr for salesman Pixie! I hate it when they do that!!!

    Only a short post, we went to see Santa at the Magic Cave yesterday, Naita was all smiles, but the line was too long and by the time we got to Santa she was too tired, 8 photos later we got the "best" shot hehe, then she crashed out in her pram

    Haha Leasha at the blowout, we have Nakita all dressed in her new jeans, little long sleeved PP top, looking super cute and BAM!!!! She had been letting ripper farts go while I was feeding her, then poo explosion over all of her new clean clothes! Grrr so we ended up putting her in another PP top and her cargos to see Santa!! And threw everything in the wash and Nakita in the hand basin for a quick wash as we had both had showers already - OMG it is sooo cute, I will post the photos later on Maybe next time I should take a photo of the damage!!

    Rachel I have to jump into FB and watch those videos!! I have a heap but just havn't had time to edit them!

    Huge Hi there to everyone else, I am off to the markets to stock up on my fruit and vegies

    I will post a link later to the photos if I can time!!

    Morning folks!
    We had a pretty good night, went to dinner with the PILs and they looked after Beth while we went to see the new James Bond movie. It was pretty good actually, we haven't been to the movies for ages! We went to the Hayden Orpheum which is a gorgeous art deco theatre in Cremorne. Beth was pretty good for the PILs but didn't sleep much, but yesterday she only slept for maybe an hour or two between 8 am and 10.15 don't know what was up with that! The PILs were funny, they said she sat up and took notice as soon as she heard the theme tune from the Bill - we always watch that show. Our big news is that she can sit up! If we put her on the floor in a sitting position she can sit there quite happily for a few minutes or more before going over sideways or doing a face plant! we are so proud. She was soooo happy to see her daddy Bear the other night when he came home and she couldn't wait to show him.
    Leash - sorry to hear about Shel's loss.... good luck with the drive
    Mel - love the giggle video on FB.... wish we could catch DD giggling but she is a sneaky one
    big to rach, squiddy, vic, sb, mt, mm and everyone.... BBL!
    PS - HAPPY FOUR MONTHS JOSIAH! that's right isn't it squidipa?
    And Vic you were posting at the same time as I was....
    HAPPY FIVE MONTHS NAKITA!!!!!!!!!!!
