Jacinta and Amy - I have tried the BLS a few times too, and Bailey is just not interested (I think he is too lazy too), and one time where he did eat he shoved the watermelon so far down his throat that he started to gag/choke and it scared me half to death so haven't attempted since. I have tried to give him lumpier food but I dont think he is ready for it yet as he has gagged so he is still eating very purreed food atm. His current fav is mango and kiwi mixed together, tonight for the first time he didn't eat it all which I thought was great cos then I got to eat it LOL

Happy 6 Months Jamie, Allira and 5 months Jemima!

Amy - I sneak veggies into Seans food LMAO - yes my 37 yo husband refuses to eat most veggies so in things like spag bol etc I sneak grated veggies in - he is none the wiser!! Bailey will eat pretty much everything, if he is a bit non-plussed I just add pumpkin and he'll eat it. I had a big cook up and I have a freezer full of icecube portion fruit, vegies, sheppards pie and chicken casserole for him. We were out the other day and I tried to give him a tin of baby food and he turned his nose up and clamped his mouth shut LOL. He'll eat the chocolate custard one though LMAO. Want me to come up and stay hahahahahaha, Bailey and I will keep you, P and N safe while DH is away!!

Nicky your DH is dead crazy playing tennis in this heat - its like a sauna over here, 40 today, we have a cool change tomorrow - 26 LOL

Bella I have IMAC envy too

Went to the IL today - have to share this gem..... MIL asked me if I add sugar to Baileys water bottle? WTF? I asked what she meant and apparantly she used to put sugar in Sean and his brothers water when they were little so they would drink it (as well as glycerine and honey on the dummies LOL). She also told Sean that he has the toughest task with Bailey as when Sean is on parental leave Bailey may be crawling etc. I wanted to slap her..... as I'd forgotten how EASY the last 7 months have been for me Sheesh I think every age has its pro's and con's. Sean lapped it up, put I quickly put him back in his box LOL.

Anyway enough about her. Bailey is really hard to get to sleep at the moment. I used to be able to cuddle him to sleep in a few minutes and put him in his cot and he'd stay asleep. In the last week its taken an hour or so to get him to sleep and when I do put him in the cot he instantly awakes ..... so soooooooooooo frustrating. I'm thinking its a heat thing, I think my body heat against him makes him unsettled. Anyway, we'll see if it passes when it cools here a bit. I miss the sleepy cuddles, its just way to hot to cuddle for too long atm, we both end up sweaty and uncomfortable.

I have put our Xmas tree up, going to attempt my Xmas Photo of Bailey tomorrow - wish me luck
