    Yay Dylan, great news mm. I always get that look when I clap Kezia too.

    Tia, thanked your posts then got distracted by food requirements before I got chance to reply. Glad fairies got to PO and back safely though I guess they are more used to this weather than the rest of us. And really really glad that DH wasn't the one driving the crashed bus. Hope all were ok.

    After complaining that cuddles were being rebuked on Tuesday I am now coming to the end of my second very cuddly day. Has been lovely, we've stayed in enjoying the excuse not to go out in the cold, admiring my snowman effort from the front window. Still can't get to the garage to get the car back, hope they don't need the space for new repairs cos I'm not taking Kezia out until all the ice has gone, no way am I risking the pram skidding into the main road.

    anyway, bath time now - she has managed to take her trousers off (they are a bit big and were falling down anyway!) so I'm going to take that as a hint ;)

    :rotfl:

    Go Dylan for handy stuff and Andrew for weight gain :j

    Molly's going to be such a handful - she was complaining in her bouncer so I went over to lift her out. She stopped whinging, looked up at me and smiled and said (not cried) Waah.

    Well done Millie's Mum!

    Edit: I missed waving Toby! Well done Toby! *waves*

    Sterilizing - I did all breast pump parts between pumps (so 8 times a day) despite knowing I didn't need to. Botlles and dummys were always done, but I don't do food things. If LO ever has a bottle I'd do that.

    Weaning - LO has always been a hungry and wakeful baby. We waited tii 6 months though, to be safe. He got involved in other ways though. I think it is easier to wait with breastfed babies because you can just feed on demand. LO still wants milk, milk and more milk and still wakes for feeds since starting solids.

    I'm on iPhone so getting muddled, who mentioned new passport? Yay for safe hub too. Bruno, don't know if you saw me suggest mothers help the other day, might be a cheaper and less worrying option compared to nursery. Glam, have you tried smaller and more frequent bottles? LO wouldn't ever have more than 100ml and still wanted 1200ml in a day. Yay for sitting baby (10 scs is great).

    Toby waved for the first time this morning!

    hi feelie and :wave: Toby (you clever boy)

    I was thinking that about the BF babies as they do seem to be going longer before they start weaning. I was planning on trying the smaller bottles more often but it now seems he just wants a break for about 20mins and then he'll demolish the rest. He had that 7oz bottle at 5pm and ever since has been complaining with his fingers in his mouth, he's just nodded off so plan is eat tea, then bath him give him another bottle then bed (and see if he settles tonight having had an extra bottle today)
    Okay- on my high horse for a mo. Just looking at pics on fb and have seen my ten month old nephew out in the snow with bare feet and a RL friend's 9 week old baby laid in the snow, posing for pictures. I mean !!!!!! is wrong with people?! Rant over.

    Fattybooboo- glad you got the top. I got the large vests from Jojo and they're fine on the chest but loose in the body. I mostly wear them at night though so not too worried. Fingers crossed we both get a better night tonight.

    I took Jack outside for about 10minutes in a HUGE snowsuit but he was in the baby carrier and was quite warm. I wouldn't dream of posing him or taking any clothes off him - bless those poor little ones!

    Yay for Andrew having his first baby rice - I am going to do it when OH is here so I can capture the moment on camera!

    Well done Dylan - another clever boy!

    Those talking about BFing Tops I've a couple of nursing vests from H&M a black one and a white one size L which could go to the fairy depot, they were not 'L' enough for my BFing boobies.

    I've also got a couple of 'proper' BFing tops but I'm going to try and Ebay them cos they were expensive (and quite honestly not as easy as a vest and a jumper. Vest up jumper down.)

    Mamaway has a sale on if you really want a BFing top.

    Not that anyone cares but...
    I got through to the docs and after stern words with the stupid secretary, who was trying to tell me to phone in the morning, or if he needs an appt more urgently maybe I should take him to A&E, I finally got an appt but had to be there within 15mins....I said fine it takes less than that to walk it, in the car it is about 2mins drive...

    Anyway after a very thorough examination turns out he has tonsilitis!!!
