hi everyone
it's quiet in here today.
arte - i would say walking is balancing without holding on to anything and moving a foot or feet forward. Great that you are getting bigger blocks of sleep - it could have something to do with him feeling a little more secure. Did you mention recently that he is eating more solids lately too?

hayley - re bb - i don't think Dixie was hypnotised. She looked like she was just acting. they did say though that they knew what they were doing, but didn't really have any control over it.

my mummy was just on the radio talking about Palliative Care. I was crying while i was listening to her - i'm such a proud daughter. (and still a sooky la la lol.)

i found a good website yesterday with lots of suggestions for giving solids and when to start certain foods. it's wholesomebabyfood.

Hi everyone,

Re BB last night, DH and I saw Peter Powers live one year and he hypnotised a friend of DH's he said it is real. He said you know what your doing and you think to yourself that its stupid and you wont do it but you cant stop yourself. My uncle has also been hypnotised and said the same thing. I loved the boys modelling last night, I was in fits of giggles.

Jazmum lol at you being a sooky la la, arent all us ladies.

Argh got to go Logan is pulling everything off my desk. BBL

hi everyone
sherie and md - i have just been out and bought probiotics for N and for DH and I - I just got inner health, will see how that goes and then get in liven down the track maybe - DH was a bit of a scpetic so I am happy i got him to agree to give N this! I hope it helps him the poor little thing i dont want him to get more gastro! he seems to be a lot better today, so fingers crossed wehave it under control (esp as DH goes away tomorrow for 12 days!! :-( )
MD and Clare (and Cally if you are here) I would love to meet up - pls tell me what the plan is!!!
Jaz - I have been on thatwebsite too - greatisnt it! how is chloe today? i had worked out your name and was wondering if you should chg it to JaZaHmum LOL!!!
I have been loving finding out the names - Cally I always thought Cally was your (beautiful) real name!! and MD until you tole meotherwise I thought MD was yours as well and that you had one of those American funny names LOL!!!
With the weleda powder, the homeopath i boiught it frpm told me that it sometimes is more effective if you mix it up as it says and massage/rub it into the gums. i do this and it is great - i usually then get him to livk the spoon i have mixed it with too... or chew on it. it has been good for us, esp with more the low level teething pain. i hope it works for all of you.
Hayley WTG WTG WTG on the HD. amazing!\
hi to everyonei have missed - meant to be catching up on someof the work i missed when looking after N on wed so a bit naughty to be on here AGAIN!!

[*noni*e*]

hey everyone
feeling a little sainer lately because asha is sleeping better as well as having a snooze in the morning with me after her bottle so i think the teething has settled for now
nappies are going well still loving cloth and ashas rash is pretty much under controll now sometimes it still flares up we are still playing with bath washes etc to go on her newly sensitive skin poor possum..
jazmum - yep i was watching bb and i too thought it was hilarious!!!
haley - i think you could see the different levels that they were actually hypnotoised if that makes sence.. like in the giving birth part you could see rory was really trying his best to hold back and not do it but he was still to some degree participating like he didnt want to lol.. some of the housemates werent in it too so i assume they werent easily hypnotised? WTG on the distinction woooohoooo s=what a smarty pants!!
arte - glad w is sleeping a bit longer could be more secere or it also could be that he is more tired after all his playing alone? we did our painting inside eeek lol on a messy mat i got from the junky shop for 2 bucks we had the same problem we didnt paint for long because she was trying to put everything in her mouth as well as crawling in it lol
pregagainpan????? did i miss something there?
md - i went to the gps up the road at the medical centre and they told me nothing was wrong with my ear etc but it s till hurts so i might have to go to my actual dr on the weekend..
katie - we have a friend whos been on his show and said the same thing..
cally - asha has 2-3 sleeps i dont worry about it just let her sleep when she feels like it otherwise i pay for it!!!
cassius - glad leila had a good time at kindy
sorry if i missed anyone i am trying my best to keep up lol

Hi everyone

JaZaH- Thanks for the website tip off- LOL about the two different lots of pumpkin recipes - "pumpkins" and "winter squash" AAAH they are all PUMPKINS you idiots!! LOL Plus they DON'T grow in winter! Anyway it looks good and I'm going to have a good read on there before I do my weekly weekend babyfood cookup!

Well, only saw the first 10 mins of the hypnotism - got up to the bit where Alice was going crazy with the sledge hammer LOL. Some ppl are more suggestible than others and they test that before they put you up on stage.

Noni, are you saying your middle name is just "e" by itself?? That's kind of cool, you know. Did it stand for something when they picked it?

Pregpan, I've got to say that MaryDean does actually suit me quite well which is why I love my nickname...fortunately for me though I wasn't born in the American mid-western bible belt! Will let you know any meet up plans as they evolve!

Hayley, re being a nervous nelly, I was reading about the brain changes that occur in a pregnant woman/new mother and the part of the brain that grows and becomes more active is the bit that controls how alert you are. (Prolly why you can't sleep when you're pregnant). This is very useful biologically in protecting our offspring (that's why mothers always jump up to respond to the kids before the fathers do) but unfortunately it can also get out of hand if you're prone to anxiety, it can make you 'hypervigilant' which is where you're too alert for danger (even when there isn't any in the environment). Anyway I find it helps knowing this cos I'm not so hard on myself for being nervous. It does wear off over time too.

Arte, I soo hope W is turning a corner with his sleep. Maybe he's feeling more secure but also it could be that his sleep patterns are maturing a bit too. that this is the beginning of a gradual big improvement.

lol yes md my middle name is just the letter e lol my mum says my parents both had grandmothers with names starting with e from what i understand and they didnt like either name though when i ask my dad about it he says i can thank my mother for that one so i actually dont know where it came from?? maybe thats what they were on when i was concieved lol i was an accident to who knows!!

[Patooties]

noni - you're hilarious. I like it though. Was thinking you could start your own clothing line, but then Noni B might take you to court on that one lol.

md - re the pumpkins - it's only recently that i worked out they are the same thing lol.
