Belfie - didn't sound soap boxy at all! I am doing a bit of both, BLS and spoon. H loves bread, esp pita bread and I am going to give her some egg yoke in a couple of days. She already had some peanut butter when DH gave her some. Will try avocado and toast today! We had a a set back with it all here, as for 10 days or so I was just BF'ing H ( after her virus) until everything settled down and then only gradually re introducing bland foods. I was probably too cautious, and I also have to get over my fears of H choking.

About the corn spears.... do you do them fresh?

Poor X with his hyper sensitive gag reflex. You must have worn a fair bit of vomit in your time.

Interestingly I have only ever nicked Hannah's fingers when using clippers and never with scissors, whereas Buzzie says clippers are better. Guess different people do things differently. H usually is pretty good about holding still for me while I trim her nails.

Bec - that is so cute about Isaac - his food and nails.

A while ago someone mentioned that their bubs liked to suck their face? Hannah has just started doing that - leaning in and planting one on my cheek, and roaring with laughter. So cute.

She totally amazed us the other day. She turns the pages in her books when we read to her, but Dh asked her "Where's wombat?" And she pointed to wombat on the page in her book... not just once - on every page. And she's done it since and with other books. What a spin out. Who knew that she knew so much already? Still no crawling - lucky me!
