thanks arte- i will google it and check it out, how does it work if they don't have teeth to chew though??
glad you understand the boat thing, my dp is obsessed with boats. he's out in the driveway playing around with one right now! luckily i get to name the next baby LOL otherwise we might end up with an everingham or something!


sherie- i know what you mean about the dog rolling in sh#t thing. why do they do that??? lol. mine always seems to find some duck sh%t and rub the side of her face in it. yuck@! that's part of why i had to take her for an extreme makeover!!! plus i've got the pita pil coming down this weekend and they always whinge about the dog being inside, even though she's OUR dog and it's OUR house, mil always puts in her 2cents worth!! ggrrrr

btw, did anyone happen to see a link on the aba website for a competition where they were looking for maternity wear models (top secret's next top model or something)? anyway, i sent off a couple of photos a couple of weeks ago and turns out we won....so we're off to a photoshoot at a winery on saturday. i'm modelling their breastfeeding tops (whilst bfing lewis) and i think it will end up in all their promo stuff (website etc.)

Hi Girls,

Gracie- Wow a Fire, How Cold is there? How Sweet of your DH. He sounds wonderful. Congratulations on your Win too.
Sherie- Love your User Name.
MD- Sorry to hear about your dog and cat.

Well we made a choc cake today and it was so funny the boys had chocolate all over there faces and arms.

[Isadora]

Sorry everyone I have been MIA for a few days...busy,busy,busy! Gotta keep it short because I'm at work.

OMG Gracie - You are so model material! Well done on the win! I love that pic of you and Lewis in the sling on FB.

Renee - I got all emotional reading your post about Rory saying mum! (at work!!) Yay, what a clever boy! I've seen your video on FB with him saying dad, amazing. Cant wait for the talking.

Leanne - 7 Months woo hoo!! Thats so cute about the boys and choccy cake, how gorgeous.

Sherie - Wow good idea with the name change, I can totally understand why.

Noni - Hope you feel better soon. Very nice of you to offer to care for your friends baby.

MD - Welcome back! We have the telescopic arms going here as well!

Arte - Sounds like your infant led weaning is going very well, good on you. Also re your neighbours, very sad indeed. I dont know what I'd do, some people do not deserve kids thats all I can say. Maybe if you witness it alot you can report them to docs??

Pregpan - Hope Noah's teeth pop through soon, poor love. Is he keeping you up at night?

Cally - How did the sweet potato go? I had a bit of trouble until we tried sweet potato, she loved it and is taking to different foods much easier now so hopefully it'll be the same for you.

Katie & Ella - Hi girls!!!

We are on two meals a day and 4 x 180ml bottles. Is there anything wrong with giving a baby weetbix for breakfast? I've been doing it for the past 2 days, she chows it down! Then she has her sweet potato sometimes mixed with pumpkin for tea. Might try some brocolli later this week. I'm really starting to love feeding Maddie solids and making it all up for her. DP is really getting into it too.

[Isadora]

Quick q - is everyone else having their hair pulled out and eyes gouged constantly when holding bub!? It hurts!!

[Cally]

YES!! I am over saying 'no pulling mummy's hair, it hurts'. And she pinches. And she occasionally lunges for your nose and bites it!! It used to be funny before those teeth popped through!! The hair pulling is also worse when she tired or upset and it's hard not to get frustrated with her when I'm trying to calm her down.

Gracie - well done, will have to let us know when the pictures appear.

MD - telescopic arms are definitely in this household. I think things are out of reach when she's in the bebepod but somehow she grabs them.

She's started moving a bit, I put her on her tummy today, left the room for a short while and she had ended up on her back, 180 degrees spin on her tummy, under the coffee table. She was just lying there, looking at the 'Made in Taiwan' sticker!!

Hayley - didn't end up with sweet potato, remembered how long it had been in the pantry for! She had some avocado instead, I put it in a mesh bag and she was much more interested in the plastic handle! Will give the cereal a few more goes and then might just go straight to finger food stuff.

Gracie - glad you had a nice day with DP home.

K didn't want her afternoon nap so we ended up going for a walk and she didn't fall asleep until about 6 in the pram. She'd been up for hours so needed something, hopefully she's not up for hours! DH and I both need some sleep.

Can hear shrieking coming from 'quiet storytime' in the bedroom so better go and investigate what is so exciting!

[Ginger]

just a quickie q girls- we've basically started lewis on solids on saturday and he hasn't done a poo since then. this is very unusual for him, he's usually very regular- should i be worried????

hayley- i'm way too fat and short to be a model for real!!! lol

hi there cally, ouchies on nose bites!

[~mamaspice~]

Hello everyone. haven't been on for a few days. There have been a lot of posts to read

hayley, Ive found another working mummy on this thread! How many days a week do you work? I work 3 full days. It's not too bad as the days go fast but so do the 4days that I have off with bubba Charli hasn;t gone for my hair yet but she does like grabbing my face and my neck, and sometimes it really hurts!

Gracie, you could always try giving Lewis a little warm boiled water with half a teaspoon of brown sugar in it to see if that helps him with no. 2's. Thats what the hospital had recommended to us!

Arte, that's no good about your neighbours. Not sure what I would do either. If you see them doing stuff like that often though, I would seriously consider reporting them.

Trillian, cool new name Are any of us able to change our names? I'm thinking changing mine, especially as I wont always be just Charli's mumma

MD, are you glad to be home and have the comfort of your own bed again? Sounds like a good time to put E in her own room. It won't be too bad for you! Especially seeing as her room is so close. We actually decided to put Charli in her own room on the second night after we came home from hospital. we just could'nt fall asleep with her in our room and her room is right next to ours so I always heard her as soon as she cried.daddy never did though selective hearing perhaps!)

Noni, thats lovely that you have offered to look after that little boy! Boy Asha is really loving the solids isn't she? Sounds like she's going to be one of these kids that will eat everything!

Renee, GO Rory! What a cleaver little boy! Miss Charli hasn't said a word yet but she makes lots of noises. grunting when she's not impressed is one of the latest. She also loves blowing raspberries, it's sooo cute

Hello to everyone else and also hi to those I haven't met before.

[Ozstar]

Gracie yay on the win, I totally agree with Hayley......you are so model material. You will def have to let us know where we can see the pics once they are done. RE the solids Logan took a few days to poo after we started, I think it is just their gut adjusting. He now poo's almost every nappy (could be teeth though). Oh and boy are they smelly now its real food.

Cally lol at K looking at the made in Taiwan sticker. Ouch at the nose biting. Logan pulls hair when he is tired too.

Hayley I had to laugh when you said got to keep it short but it ended up a very decent length. We are trying Brocolli this week too.

Leanne did you get some photos of the boys covered in chocolate?

Noni thats so nice of you offering to look after your friends little one. I think you should have a look into FDC. I quit my job and got all the info etc and started getting everything organised then found out I was pregnant so I decided to wait. DH and I have been talking about me starting it soon though.

Renee your so lucky to have Rory saying mum, I cant wait till L can say it ( I would even be happy with dad lol)

MD how did you go with the animals? Good luck with getting E into the cot.

I bought up big at the farmers markets this weekend so I have a fridge full of food to freeze for Logan. Better go and start cutting up all the fruit and veg.
