    I didn't think you worked Fridays :confused: There are loads of other dates ;)

    :rotfl:that's what I thought! Don't say it will be March before I see you :eek:

    We could always arrange another mini meet at the Trafford Centre before then - hopefully Jillie, Dora, Jakesmummy )and everyone else who is close that I can't remember!) can come to.
    I'm up for a [STRIKE]coffee [/STRIKE]hot choc at those places near you or town or another meet at trafford, can't leave it until March!!

    Don't, you'll start me off.. I'm getting more fragile as he gets older! :o

    Anyway, I'm not amazing, I'm just doing what I can :confused: He's the amazing one.. might have something to say about you snipping his bits, mind ;):p
    you are amazing and Rhys is too, but on this occasion I felt you were more important ;) give the dinky one a love from me though, has he tasted choc? I just let Ed hold my biccy thinking he'd do what he always does and inspect it before deciding it didn't look fun but oh no it was deeeeeelish and I had to prise it out of his hands :eek::rotfl::o

    sami - my LO doesn't like chocolate?! she's been allowed a 'taste' on three occassions now and she spits it out and pulls a face. I'm not sure she's my daughter!!!

    PS LO now emptying the one kitchen cupboard she can get into - the one with all her plastic/melamine/cutlery/spoons in it :D She's taking each item for a walk around the table before taking another thing out of the cupboard and walking it round the room!

    He's had chocolate cake (yule log at xmas) and Cadbury's chocolate fingers, which held on to so long the choc melted and started squidging out between his fingers :rotfl: He might have had more that I don't know about.. anything goes when Daddy's in charge! :rolleyes:

    Speaking of daddies.. is your DH away this week? Craig's doing overtime again every night this week I think :cool:

    Nomnomnom mixed veg, cucumber salad and a GIANT SLAB OF PORK for dinner. Molly's getting apple, banana and peach mush and is comically shuddering at the bitter edge the peach is giving it.

    evening everyone.

    Haven't really had much time to pop in lately. Things have been very hectic here, we have started gymbabes properly and Kai absolutely loves it, we also go to mums n tots and have just tried baby swimming group too, so busy days.....

    We have also had our carpet laid on Saturday which meant emptying the whole of downstairs, I then had the 'brainwave' of painting while the furniture was out of the room. This has meant several trips to B&Q, Wilko's, TJ Hughes etc...we have literally replaced and decorated every thing in the room including curtain poles, curtains, lightshades!!!!! the list goes on. The weekend culminated in a trip to DFS and dh ordering a sofa!!!!!!

    Anyway, things are almost finished now, I just need to go over a little bit of the painting on the top half of the living room as it is metallic paint and an absolute nightmare....

    Hope everyone is well.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Oh, remembered something else..

    Eyes.. Have seen the report from the specialist he saw (the one OH took him too), and it does say that he'll just grow out of it; it's equal in both eyes, which is good apparently; he can see perfectly well and there are no longterm muscle issues and they'll just keep monitoring him :)

    He was shrieking in the waiting room. It's massive and was full and almost everyone went quiet when he did it... so what else was there to do, but carry on, getting louder! :rolleyes: In answer to the "is he babbling" question, I asked if she'd heard him down the corridor and through a door, and she had! :rotfl:

    And, she's writing some report on his burns apparently. He's got two little scars on his arm from where they injected him with something to raise his blood pressure shortly after birth and it (somehow!) came out the syringe and burnt his arm (little black marks he had in the early photos is anyone remembers). The doc who did it was very apologetic at the time and had to have photos taken for an investigation yadda yadda (it contributed to saving his life, we're not bothered about two lil war wounds! :o). The scars are different, one raised one flat which she's not seen before :confused:
