Hi there ladies!

Cally I totally sympathise with you. Leila also decided to dance throughout the night...now that she has learnt to sit up in the cot she is 'practising' at every opportunity...arrghhhh obviously sleeping through is out of fashion at the moment!

MD: we too have an ergo and it's fantastic! the weight is distributed really well and the bubbas dont appear to feel as constricted...also it has the benefit also of carrying them on the hip and on the back. (and i love the fact that it comes with a hood so that when they sleep you can pop them away and they dont get distracted. love it.

Noni: Hi! and ahh the joys of solids...i dont think it's a big issue at this stage. as long as bubba is happy and growing well; we only just put Leila on 3 meals a day as the little tike has a mega appetite, but i am also keeping up (pretty much) the same amount of breastfeeds...hhhmmm wonder if i should cut down on that?? any tips on that anyone?!

Pregpan: my friend has the ikea chair and cant stop raving about it! she loves it and reckons that it is easy to clean and use and has had it for almost a year (her girl is 18 months and still using it). we ended up buying the stokke as my DH insisted (he wanted a red one!), leila quite likes it and enjoys eating at the table with us (or rather smashing her food everywhere...)

Just went down to visit and feed leila at child care, i find myself staying there for almost an hour at lunch playing with her...kind of defeats the purpose of childcare doesnt it?!

anyway, best keep at the typing, have to give a paper next week (new uni, new people) and feeling kinda nervous (egad!)
