We are having a big cook up here this arvo. I am making chicken and parsnip puree atm. I dug out a reallyt good book that has some fantastic easy puree recipes in it, so if anyone wants me to post some recipes let me know. Only problem is these recipes use a fair bit of formula in them...I was wondering if you can use cows milk for cooking or is that a big no no? What about a cheaper brand of formula ie heinz used for cooking only? Would that upset her tummy?

Clare - Good luck at uni, you will be fine! With the mums group we take turns at each others houses and whoever is the host that week gets some food together. Nothing big. I made cupcakes, corn & asparagus quiches and just put out some nibblies. Otherwise we have met at nice parks before as well and thats always fun. My DP is a good cook too, better than me and he loves to rub it in hehe. I am the same when it comes to risotto!!!!

Noni - I use the hiding of the shopping bag trick as well. They wont know unless they check out the bank statement!! I got my foam mat from the reject shop, do you have that over there? Maddie was slumping onto her hands when it came to sitting as well and then just yesterday out of nowhere she was sitting bolt upright. Asha will give you that little suprise shortly by the sounds of it.

Agnes - How did Will go? Did he take his milk? Why is the bubba in surgery? How sad, my worst nightmare.

Renee - You can come next time. You should have seen the house afterwards, it was like a bomb had hit it! Maybe babies only focus on one thing at a time? Because Maddie isnt crawling or rolling like Rory yet. Mind you a mum yesterday was saying her little one can sit but never spends time doing it, because she is too busy crawling around looking for action! Why sit when you can move about hehe. Aw I bet they were all crowding around Rory, he's such a cutie.

Hello everyone else - Leanne how are the boys today?
