Hi all... hope everyone had a lovely Christmas
We had a great day, among other things we bought Singstar as a family pressie & it was great late in the afternoon we put it on & had lots of laughs, especially at FIL and then later the kids sat & played cards & Monopoly.
I was so pleased, I said to MIL sometimes I worry that for the kids it becomes all about the pressies, it's nice to think they will have other nice memories of the day.

Storm, I saw your other thread about the highchair, what a PITA. Hope they send you a new tray & you don't have to drive all the way back to get it replaced.

Well we have a couple of new milestones, she is sitting alone now! all of a sudden she went from wobbling & nearly doing it, now she will sit for 5 or more minutes at a time. We still have pillows around her though as she does tend to topple sometimes lol.
She got a little paddling pool for Christmas & sat in there yesterday splashing at the water, that was great timing for her to be sitting.

And we have started solids, I was going to wait until 6 months or at least 5 and a half but she is very ready. She went all of a sudden from showing a passing interest in our food to breaking her neck to try & get at it lol. So far she has had cruskits (loves them) steamed broccoli & pumpkin pieces & pumpkin puree. And she doesn't seem to like banana.Tasted it but pulled the most awful face... what was funny was she kept reaching for it & every time I brought it back to her she would get a smell of it & screw her face up again

Hope everyone & their babies had a wondrful day... we are in go-slow mode here atm...nice to relax after all the rushing around.
