Tia, nope, he seems to completely avoid feeding himself :cool: He'll happily eat anything if I hold it for him but doesn't want to hold it himself. Same with his sippy cup - drinks out of it fine but won't hold it himself. He'll put toys, clothes, my hands, his hands to his mouth and chew on them no problem, just not food - it's like he doesn't realise he's allowed (polite before his time, that's his trouble! ).

LOL - because I never bother with a plate or bowl for Benjamin he giggles like a schoolgirl if I give him a bowl of fruit and won't take a piece!! He looks at me like I am going to tell him off and giggles :rotfl:

I have to tip it out of the bowl onto the tray of his antilop and then he grabs hold and devours it!!

Am working on that one :cool:



MM - do they process the cows milk the same? I dunno - I just always think when you have a cup of tea abroad it tastes wrong!!! Could be the milk, could be the water?

Evening all,

Must have been a day for arguing with OHs!

SJ - welcome to married life. You have probably described all of our husbands. I ask mine to do something, and he says he will. 3 hours later, still not done, so I remind him politely. Pattern repeats until I get accused of nagging. If he did it when I asked, then there would be no need to nag!!!! I have already said he is getting a to do list in future. Might steal your idea Csh and put timeframes on it!

I should have multiquoted as I can't remember anything now.

Oh yes, Happy Birthday WM and Happy Anniversary SS and Mr SS (even though you have been bad).

Csh - you are quick off the mark!! I had only just posted the photos ha ha. Love the new avvy by the way. I spy Sophie!

H seemed to get on ok with the baby rice (which she had for dinner rather than lunch due to afore mentioned argument!) She also napped in her cotbed today twice for the first time - bit of a pain though as I had to clear the cot top changer but still room to leave it on.

Oh yes, JM - what kind of car do you have? The window thing has happened to me twice and apparently is a known fault on my Megane, but Renault won't admit it. It costs about £300 to get a new part and have it fitted. OH did it himself in the end and bought a part from Ebay, but it was a horrendous job. Also, he bought a left sided part, but it was a right sided part they sent, so my window works in reverse now. It goes up instead of down etc! It happened again on Hogmanay to the drivers window and we had to drive home in the freezing cold snow/wind on the motorway, trying to keep poor Holly from getting blasted with cold air in the back!

Elle, the fruit or sweet ones tend to be a smooth puree regardless and the savories have lumps.

Don't sweat it, he will eat himself when he feels like it. In the grand scheme of Rhysness, it's really no big deal.

My gosh, I can hear my BIL screechin through DH's xbox headset! He sounds like a banshee!

MFD, are you taking a tin of formula? If not unless they have the same formula over there, he's going to have to deal with it tasting different anyway isn't he?

:rotfl::rotfl: How very true! *rolleyes*

He doesn't have anything sweet from a jar - won't eat it cos it's too thin, dribbles down his chin! I had to stir the remainder of the mango rice pudding we had into his weetabix. We currently have apple, pear, peach and plum lumpy mush cubes in the freezer which he only really has with weetabix or porridge, plus an apple one with his teatime veggies (has veggies and something meaty for supper) We don't do puddings here cos he won't drink his milk too if we do :cool:

Oh no. Good luck with it then. DH is saying "tell her it's a hellish job"!

I've noticed that in my megane (estate), the window sticks. Usually it is fine if you stop and restart the engine. But Ive been waiting for it to !!!!!! up completely. Well, DH has been waiting, its his problem now har har har. Think he said the passenger side window doesn't go down.

Jakesmummy

i think i might just stop using the windows lol!!!

Fitzio

I think that with most other cars, if the motor fails in the window, it just doesn't work. With my Megane, if the motor fails, the window falls right down. And it's a nightmare to get it back up. You have to take the door panel off and tape it up or something. I love my car, but when something goes wrong, it doesn't seem to be easy to repair. Even changing my headlight bulbs is ridiculously complicated! And they both failed at the same time 2 weeks ago. Had to drive up the A77 after 9pm with no headlights!
