Noni - I think that nakie shots of babies are just gorgeous, there are many people that do the nakie shots if thats what you are into? Otherwise just do them yourself - I took some beautiful and tasteful nakie pics of Mad that I am blowing up. I love holding her nakie, she is so chubby. Also if you are like me and dont have a spare $500 + to spend on professional pics take advantage of the free pic that you can get done at pixi photos. I got Maddie's back last week and it is stunning and didnt cost a cent. Did you get the vouchers in your bounty bag that enable you to go every 6 months? Thats what I'm planning on doing, dont care if I'm being stingy lol!!!

SupaB - I agree though, you spend a bomb on the professional pics but they are well worth it. Something you can cherish forever really.

Renee - Have fun at Karaoke!! I am in Morley, where are you? Dont know about set for life, more like chained to the bank for life lol.

Cally - I can sympathise with the silly cat!! Our Billy drives me nutso every night. What is with cats, they sleep all day and sneak around the house at night, pouncing on everything. Cant they do that during the day and sleep at night!? Wish I could shut him outdoors at night but thats just mean isnt it lol.

Gracie - Hope you get better soon, has Lewis caught it at all? Good luck with mums group on Thurs, bet you guys will have a ball.

Sherie - The cortisone cream has already done wonders for Maddie's skin, I apply it twice a day, its only 1%. Still I might do what you do with the giving it a break for a few days then starting it again. Thats good that Alister is on track, cant believe they will be 6 months in a few weeks, isnt that just crazy!? Hope you are feeling much better today btw.

LP is still missing!?

For the past 3 days now I have been giving Maddie a few spoons of the bellamys rice cereal for dinner along with her normal bottle. I started on Thursday just out of interest to see how she would go, she pulled a couple of funny faces but then started to chow it down. She is loving it, so I think I might just stick at this for awhile, take things slow, and then maybe start introducing more solid foods closer to 6 months. She isnt waking at night for feeds so she cant be wanting solids too much and also because I am worried about the whole excema/allergy thing. Another thing, i've only been giving her 4 spoon fulls max at each meal, though she could easily go more, but is it bad to give too much when introducing solids? What about tummy aches etc?

Maddie did the cutest thing today, she was playing in her bounce bounce thingo, and I was sitting next to her eating my weetbix going mmm yum and really showing her how I put the spoon into my mouth, she was taking it all in. Then all of a sudden, she started chewing with her mouth, as if to copy me!!! Couldnt believe it. Is this a sign that I should be giving her more solid food? She's still sleeping through?

Ok enough of my raving, need to go do some study, exciting stuff....
