Sal - I was so glad to hear that your DH was given the all clear. Although I can imagine I wans't anywhere near as glad or relieved as you must have been

A ragdoll kitten! They are SO CUTE. I'm not REALLY a cat fan, but I do have to say I quite like the ragdolls...and the Maine coons...DH loves cats and if we were ever get one (woudl have to be after my two dogs pass, as they're not that good with cats) it would be one of those two types.

Sounds like things are going well with E. I look forward to an update on all is movings and shakings

OP - WOOHOOO on the solids. Sounds like X took to the rice cereal like B did.

OP and Delph - Thankfully I don't get the what's for dinner question. If I don't have something started when DH gets home from work he just rummages through and finds something and starts to cook it! He's really good like that.

Deph - Two teeth huh??!! I think gumnut might be the first to have gotten them in our little group (unless Ayva has gotten any....wonder how M2A is going....). Pity she got them when you were on holidays though. Hopefully she wasn't TOO miserable. How long did it take them to come through? Was she really uncomfortable with them?

AFU - I forgot to mention that I had B to clinic on Monday and he's not 7.3kg. They were very happy with his weight gain again and the midwife also commented about how mobile he was for his age. I brought one of the quilts with me my mum had made for him and he was rolling about everywhere and happily demonstrating all his new 'tricks'. So not only does he roll EVERYWHERE but he's started to kind of commando crawl. He'll get his little arms and drag himself forward a couple of times...then he'll usually end up pushing himself backward further then he had drug himself forwards He'll also get his little legs right under him and push so his legs are almost straight and his little butt is right up in the air and push with one leg, so he ends up all lopsided and usually falls over. He's still not managed to have both ends up and working at the same time though.

We'll be starting carrot tonight. Last night was day 3 for sweet potato, so we'll be going carrots tonight and see how he likes those. So far the pumpkin and sweet potato have been massive hits, he'll eat nearly a whole ice cube worth (I've frozen it into ice cube trays) of both. But he's still not very fussed on avocado. I think I might try to mix a bit in (hide it) with the pumkin or sweet potato so he 'gets the taste'. Not too sure what I am goign to give him after the carrot though. I've been thinking perhaps pees, but I'm not too sure how I go about getting rid of their skins...maybe if I mash them through a sieve....
