Hi Glam!!!

bet you feel better with Jack in the cot. We're thinking of moving him to his own room at the end of jan.
and tasting apples and bananas. i'm too scared to let kian yet. he's watching us drink and eat a lot more. and now he gets very excited when he sees his bottle. also has developed a fondness for having his bottle in his chair! think he will be very independant.

any sign of BIL moving out yet?

Tell us a Charlotte story!!

I bought her a lovely traditional rag doll for Christmas but she was still nameless last night, so I said we had to think up a nice name for her. I think she should have a really pretty name, but no, her new name is Dolly Chicken Eyes

Jillie - I know what you mean about time to yourself. OH has done nothing but play PS3 these last 3 days cos 'he's on holiday'. I don't need a holiday cos I'm on Maternity Leave. He just doesn't get it!

I get that too! He has to rest when he's on holiday and he can't help out with housework, laundry etc., because he has a full time job.

I work about 20-30 hours a week and study about 20 hours a week but I have to do all the housework etc., because apparantly I don't do much else

He's got farms and cafe's and stuff on Facebook that he's always on at me to play the games. I struggle keeping up with my real life stuff never mind running pretendy farms and cafes!

Hiya Becles :hello:

Glad your OH is okay Tia.. hope everyone involved is too xx

To those with toddlers and bigger, is there any particular facility you would you look for from a holiday with a 14mth old? We're going to go away for a week somewhere in the UK, but undecided whether a lodge on a park type place or a holiday cottage, or something else completely

Yeah I didn't do the cot move before Christmas cos he slept in his Mosey while we were away and I didn't want to confuse him!

Jack is a little sod when it comes to food, he was kicking up one day so I had him on my lap while I had my tea and he nicked a chip off my plate and tried to put it in his mouth and then stuck his fist in my curry sauce!

His little mouth was going like the clappers after what is now known as 'apple-gate' :rotfl: Was annoyed though cos OH did it when I was at ASDA but he recorded it on my phone and it was hiliarous!!!!

I am going to start weaning him at 20 weeks - I have been reading loads of info on it recently and I know 'they' say 6 months BUT IMO he's ready for it now but I will hang on til 20 weeks.

BIL still here :rolleyes: am too much of a wuss to say anything but when the electric bill comes through I WILL BE UPPING THE RENT!

How is your DH doing now?

Hello all. I'm back from the dreaded Tesco. It was fully stocked and fully staffed so clearly it was just the drivers who couldn't get in. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want anyone to take a risk to deliver my shopping, but I think the way it was handled was rubbish. I did get £10 off code though, so every cloud.......

Tia- glad your OH is okay, I would have been worried too.

csh- yay for being on fb

Glam- nice to see you back on here

Bruno- I know how your OH feels, and have been guilty of going a little OTT in my texts to OH when he is at work. I think everyone's suggestion of an afternoon or morning off for your OH is an excellent one though. You do feel so much better after a little 'me' time.

sm- fingers crossed!!

glam- its hard to know what to for best with weaning when all the jars/packets say 4months, some books say 6 months. we know best!! lol!!! Kian hasnt gone for food yet but prob cos we try and wait till he's asleep to have ours. but i do see him watching us eat and drink. think i'll try and wait unless like Jack he is really showing signs of wanting the food.

DH is much better!! thanks. still has his moments. he had a big falling out with my sis when she was here. (they fight like brother and sister, and things have been said in the past by my sis that were quite hurtful to us both) but the new shop is going well if a bit quiet. and he is doing more to help me round the house. and i get to go out for a coffee/library visit on his day off. when he goes back to having 2days a week off in Feb, he will have Kian one morning a week so i can sleep in, get my hair done etc. basically it will be my day off!!

we'll have to organise another TC meet. maybe feb, not school hols though!!

A baby that fits his bumbo? Makes me realise just how small Andrew is! (makes mental note to take a photo later just to demonstrate!) The nape of his neck just touches the ridge section on the back of his bumbo, and his feet just sit on the leg holes!
