We got our first real smile today!! . I almost cried! And what's more, we got two smiles, and the best thing was, DH was actually inside to see them! I'm so proud!!

On the wind thing, Pup is not too bad with the wind thing, but I found that early on, I wasn't very good at burping him. Not suggesting that any of you girls are not doing it properly, but I found I wasn't putting him high enough on my shoulder to get a good burp out of him. I just had his head resting on my shoulder, rather than hischest and stomach. Perhaps hitching your little ones a bit higher when burping might help (????, mind you, I'm no expert 8-[ ).

We had our first outing in the "farm pram". The farm pram is the big Emmaljunga one we bought on special. Seems rather ostentacious to have such an expensive pram just for bashing around the tracks and through the cow yards, but the cheaper ones just would not have done the job. Really need the big pneumatic tyres. For town trips we have a McLaren Stroller/pram which weight buggar all (5kg) so is very easy to get in and out of car.

Best go, MIL just walked in with our steak for dinner!!!
