It is such a nice feeling isn't it! It'll be sad when they get older and want their independence and don't need mummy anymore lol. (Good in other ways though I'm sure!)

Olive, woohoo on the tooth and the sleep last night! Wow talk about a hot night! (maybe the heat knocked M out?) They reckon it was the hottest night on record - was still 35C degrees at midnight, 33C at 3am! I almost forgot it was bin night and got up to take them out around midnight and couldn't believe the warmth as I walked outside. It was lovely though as there was no sun.

Nai, yay on tooth # 8! How was the movie?

Pinny, yeah I think I will copy what I wrote I wish my L would have some of your L's appetite.

He's really hit and miss with food these days. Tonight for dinner we had veggie pasta, he reluctantly ate 3 spirals and then refused anymore. He usually loves pasta! He also hates the spoon. It's as if he doesn't trust what is on it and just flatly refuses and turns his head away. Sometimes he wants to feed himself. Problem is, he can never grip the food nicely and most of it ends up on the floor. It is a massive waste of food and he hardly consumes anthing, so he can't even be full! I know that's how they learn and all that, but where do you draw the line?

Ali, the last year has definitely been a huge learning curve and challenge! Being a mum certainly is the hardest experience I've ever had, but I love it Good job on managing the 2 yesterday. I'm amazed you were able to coordinate the feeding and bathing so well! (Not saying I didn't think you could do it, just that it would be hard for anyone!) How annoying about medicare. Lol at the dollarmites account - L has one too (and I had one!). Set up an automatic payment and leave it be and DD will get bonus interest! Re birthday plans, like I said in your thread, we will just be having a casual BBQ and pool party at home (hope it's good weather). I'm wondering what kind of cake to get!

Shell, birth is truely a miracle! I just love the anticipation of L's personality and development. It's amazing what we've created Hehe I never thought I'd be this into motherhood.

Kaz, I hope the necklace works well for him. I also hope you get some decent sleep tonight.

lilima, no rain here yet! Waiting for it. I took the washing down hours ago thinking it would be raining by now...

AFU, welcoming the cool change and the forecast for the rest of the week
Just want to gather some advice...it's my 21st at the end of this month and I really don't feel up to doing anything "big". Is that so wrong?? I don't get the big deal, but everyone is really irritating me about it and telling me that I have to plan something Sighhh Isn't it really an American thing? 21 being the age of new priveliges and all that...can't I just have a nice dinner out somewhere and that's it?

Great, L is awake gtg!
