Concrats Daniel!
MFD shall we start our own 'Gummy baby' group?
Do I now have the oldest gummy baby? She'll be 8 months next week.
(Although she's unsettled this evening, and has a red cheek, a sore bottom/fufi and more than the usual slober!)

Izzy is a little bit older, and no teeth yet. I have been thinking they will turn up soon for months, but still nothing doing. She is happy with gums though



I'm in a strange mood here! Been feeling 'odd' for a few days!
Was supposed to be out at OH's brothers girlfriends 21st party - but I really couldn't be ar5ed getting ready - so i'm home alone! Just had chicken fajitas, having a bacardi & diet coke and watching the crazy octuplet mum on Sky2. :eek:

Good strange or bad strange? You ok?

Thanks, that's the one I've decided I like, there a a couple on ebay and then Amazon seems to be the cheapest, but I think a trip to TK Maxx is on the books for tomorrow

I know it won't be used for long, but atm I'll pay anything for a good night sleep - I love sleep

I've decided the woombie pics looks like the child had been vacuum packed :rotfl:

it was a few month ago i picked mine up from tkmax so i hope they still have some for u! i think the woombie one looks so bad cos it looks like the poor babys trying to escape, and he dont look too pleased! lol

Wizadora I'll punch her for you and also a good back handed slap. She sounds a right clever midden.

Does nobody just use a normal blanket or sheet to swaddle? I'm way too tight to but one of those swaddle blankets.

ETA, I'm so bored and lacking conversation I'm seriously thinking about going to asda to see what they have reduced...

We did. Towards the end I had to wake DH to swaddle her as I couldn't wrap her tight enough. THink I'd have resorted to using a cot blanket to double-wrap her if I wasn't worried about her being too hot!

SIL rang from Asda yesterday to enquire about Alex's Xmas pressie. She was going to get him a baby-walker but we don't use them, so he's having one of those inflatable rings with activites on - £7.50 sounded like a bargain to me!

Oh, think it's also okay for me to say now that I was chosen to do some testing for a well-known magazine's baby awards. A group of local mums & I have just finished testing 0-6mths toys. Most of the manufacturers have been kind enough to let us keep the things so Alex is the proud owner of a new Tiny Love play gym and, as no one else wanted it, I took the other play gym to the local Sure Start children's centre. Can't wait for the results to be out now!

thanks tia xx I only ever used blankets, but Daniel really is a wriggler and once we started using sleeping bags he was much better.

I watched it the other day ... She's crazy all right sometimes just having one is enough but 14!!!

Lu T, I'd be interested in hearing sage words too, Amber wakes at 5am and then again at 7am. I always thought it was because I wake her at 7am for a feed before getting the boys to school.

Normally yes, and I used to look at those type of things and think what a waste, but after getting up 3 times just to wrap his sheet back round him they now seem very appealing

Sami - just raked the leaves for you ;-)

Oh, if I made up some baby spag bol or something, can I freeze the pasta? I assume you can, seeing as you can for microwave melas and whatnot, but anyone done it?
