sorry i've been a little MIA myself lately - been going through a bit of a rough patch with E on top of organising to go back to work and all that crap - so i read, i post briefly, but don't manage to say a whole hell of a lot!
Nicky and Bridg - hope you're both feeling better. being under the weather sucks at the best of times - having an almost-nine-month old and feeling off - nope, not fun! plus you both have older kidlets - rather full on!
Nicole - sounds like chaos as the MAN SHED goes up. we're waiting on our shed to go up (similar size) but there have been delays delays and more delays! it's doing my frikken head in!
Cathy - gorgeous pics hun! i have a couple of BF photos from when E was little, but too many body image issues to get anymore done now. ah well - i know how cute she looks when she's BF! no plans on weaning any time soon - so maybe i'll get some when i'm back at work and feeling more confident in myself
Naomi - we have introduced peanut butter to E recently. i did a lot of reading and the current research (which may only be current for a little while lol) says it's best to introduce food that may cause allergies between 6 and 12 months - any later, the chances of allergic reactions actually increase. so, give how far from medico's and hospital/pharmacy we are, we've been trialling foods at my folks place when i'm there for an afternoon. E has had no reaction to peanuts (or eggs - or anything else!). i was determined to introduce them though - we like our satay too much to not have it - and given E eats the same meal as us every night... anyway - i would suggest introducing a small amount (e only had a small crust) and then increasing it next time.
Vic - E has had a bit of bad breath but it's usually following having something to eat that would cause icky breath in anyone! the other night, her breath was a bit wiffy after she had burritos for dinner!
good luck surviving the IL's. not sure if it's a fortunately or unfortunately situation for us, but i have no IL's at all. DH's parents are both passed, and he is estranged from almost all the rest of his family. i'm guessing he would have the same antagonistic thoughts about his IL's as you do though!
sorry to everyone else if i've missed you - gotta get some other stuff done before E wakes up, so time to waffle about us!
E cut another tooth yesterday. she was a miserable PITA little rat the day before - refused to sleep and all that stuff. Mummy wasn't coping very well and had to walk away for a while - but eventually things were ok.
yesterday E and I went out with my mum for a while. after waiting in line for over an hour at c'link (no wonder people abuse me on the phone! lol) we went to my Aunt's to show her some stuff she'd asked us to get for my brothers DD's and then back to mum's for lunch and dinner while DH did some work in the garden. My SIL had held onto the dresses her DD's wore in our wedding and one is a size 0 so yesterday i put it on E and set up a mini photo shoot outside at mum and dad's - we had a ball! the wind was blowing so mum was holding a sheet up behind E and letting it billow around her - E was cackling her little heart out! so we have some very natural photos of her - with a sheet blowing around her! they look so cute - will post some on BB later. love trying to set up a photo and having it go so very wrong but so very right lol
