hi all!
i have also been having probs with BB - i did a big post yesterday morning and it seems to have been lost and then when i tried to get back on later it timed me out every time! v frustrating!
Anyway - sounds like MM you are having a tough time, my post yest was mainly telling you not to beat yourself up about it.... i hope Maddie is doing better today? When i was in melb at xmas time heaps of the bubs had just had bronciolitis (they were all about 5 months) so it is v common and so completely not your fault. the day care def should have let you know - that isterrible i would def have a word with them.
noni - wooo hooo on the house! congrats! wil be great to be in your own space. is it close to where you are now? i hope yiu will still be able to see your friend up the road etc. for bfast i usually give N oats and fruit (sometimes baby oats - bellamys - and sometimes normal oats). this week he is having weetbix and milk (i also just use full cream milk, a little bit) and he usually munches on a cruskit after his cereal. sometimes i do yoghurt and fruit and sometimes he also has some cheerios as finger food. bfast isnt his fave meal though. you could also make fruit pikelets or corn fritters or something if she wold prefer to feed herself. though personally i think it is ok for them to always have cereal for bfast?? of course once eggs are ok hard boiled egg or an omeltte will be a great option or french toast. wrt the cows milk - i think it is ok for cooking/in food but not as a main drink til 12 months? i may be wrong though as i am still bfeeding so havent really looked into it all properly.
hi katie - have fun with your sis!
not much news here, noah is going through such s gorgeous stage with so much giggling and being interactive. no sign of crawling yet - but i am not so worried about it, though he would look v funnynext to all your bubbas whi are cruising and moving around so much!! his fave time of the day seems ot be just before hos shower when we get im naked and he rolls all overour bed. he squeals with delight!

Hi Girls! Wowsers, alot has been going on (including with the BB site!).

MM: oh dear! you guys are having it pretty rough ATM. and seriously, there's really nothin you could have done to stop maddie from getting Bronchilitis (sp?) (except maybe wrapping her up in cotton wool and never ever leaving the house!! LOL!!). bubs get sick, we get sick, it sucks but doesnt mean that we are bad people! man, i still remember the 'chicken pox' parties that our parents used to hold so all us kiddlywinks would get them!!

Pregpan: sometimes i wish that leila wasnt crawling! she is getting into everything...including the dog and cats bowls...egad.

Noni: yeah we have cereal (raffertys or weetbix) with fruit. or sometimes ricotta with fruit, or yoghurt with fruit (notice a trend here LOL!). then we follow it with a piece of toast with either avo or vegemite...she loves it.
he he he with the moving. we just did a mammoth move from canberra in january, so i pity you with the packing and unpacking. although our packing experience was pretty funny as we were using the same company as kevin rudd, so we got all of his old boxes that he used to move into the lodge!! unfortunately we didnt find anything exciting hidden away...

Leanne: wtg to little jordy! it must be so much more comfortable for him. so i guess time just keeps on going faster the older they get...3 wowsers, i just cant imagine leila not being a bub, although she is reminding me everyday of what a big girl she is becoming! it must be really exciting watching them grow and becoming into their own looks and personality....

Sherie: Alister sounds like the greatest bub! what a sense of humour! leila is also getting into the whole splashing back into the water thing which has my heart skip...oh the stress begins...how will i be when she brings home a snot faced boy with a motorbike...

here things are good. like pregpan said about Noah, leila is going through a fantastic period, giggling, laughing, trying out new things, bashing toys across every surface to see and hear how they sound. terrorising the animals, stealing pens...you know, the usual stuff. she is also doing loads of 'talking'. she is trying so hard to engage us in conversation and i think she finds us droll in not being able to keep up.
this saturday we are off to an italian playgroup (egad!!). DH signed her up, so we'll see how that goes. i had better brush up on my lingo...

hope all is well for everyone (or improving!!).

big hugs to Maddie

get better soon girl!

HAPPY BDAY CALLY!!!!! so sorry i missed it earlier, i even have apost it on my computer to remind me!! Hope you are having a FAB day - did 'Katie' make you breaky in bed???
Clare - so funny wioth rudd's boxes - you could have made a packet selling that story on today tonight or something if only you found something scandalous!! OK have to ask what is egad???
Italian playgroup sounds fun!!! And the ricotta idea is a good one - baked ricotta would be a delicious breakfast i think. Leila sounds gorgeous - when we meet for coffee N and her can have their own convo, he is such amotor mouth!! da da da ga wa na ma ga ga. i sometimes say it all bacxkto him and he squeals. i am prob saying I would love a breastfeed in baby talk LOL!!!

Happy Birthday Cally!!!!!
So sorry I missed it earlier today

I hope you are having a great day! and that dinner tonight is wonderful.

Pregpan, 'egad' is an exclamation like crikey! LOL.

Clare, the way Alister is going I think he might be that snot nosed boy on a motorbike LMAO.

Pregpan: i know i use 'egad' alot!! i think it is a derivitive, like golly and gosh, when back in the day it was blasphemous to use the 'lords name in vain' and so people came up with other words in its place...not sure though...
yeah, we'll have to have a baby babble talk off when i come up!!

Sherie: LOL! at least if it's Alister, I'll know you and we can laugh (and or reprimand!!) together!! and look, if it's a ducati motorbike, then at least there is an element of style...

Cally: i totally missed that it's your birthday!!

i hope that it's loads of fun and you get lots of pressies!
