Oh dear - I had started typing, went back a page & seem to have lost it!

I can't believe how chatty you all are again & how much our LO's are up to!

Peanutter - congrats on your RAK (that sounds a bit rude LOL!). Well deserved. I have no idea how you have remained so positive & kept going since Joshie's arrival. Thanks for your thoughts on part-time working. I'm still not sure it is for me or her, but i like contributing financially & I keep telling myself the interaction is good for both of us.

HB - I'm not in your facebook crew - Peta Bell, if you wanted to add me. I read often, but don't post that much, though there are pics on there of the 3 of us.

Perth Girls - I hope the fires are no where near any of you. This country is a bit of a mess at the moment isn't it. Hoping you're all safe & also your families & friends.

When do you think I should worry about not teething? Alyssa still hasn't got any teeth though everyone we see swears she's been teething since 4 months. Also, how did you go about getting your LO's to eat the variety of things they do? And did you wait till teeth arrived? I am sensing Alyssa wants more than puree but am a bit scared given she's got no teeth to help chomp. She had some sausage tonight & a bit of vegemite on bread for lunch, plus she has banana's by herself, but I guess I am bit a stuck for what sort of finger foods to go for. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sorry, not much of a post tonight. I'm hammered & still to do bottles & have a shower before bed. Seriously come about 3pm every day I'm knackered, my back aches & my eyes are sore. Hoping I will get used to this pace soon!

Sorry not too many personals but I do think of you all all the time as you really are my mothers group (I don't have an IRL one). xo
