    Oh my flicking god.

    Food finally got here, they've forgotten my sauce and DS's pizza looks like it's been minced, the stupid driver must have been juggling with it. Morons

    I hate that! :mad: do you order from there often? Worth complaining?

    Just picked J up to put a towel under him and he peed everywhere! :rotfl:
    He is now lying on his changing mat with a towel under him but he wriggles so much he's now off the towel with his feet in his hands and his bum in the air :cool:

    How long did you give him one meal a day before going to two?

    For the record (just to muscle in on a weaning discussion), Andrew's still on one meal a day, I haven't started giving him breakfast yet (I'm not that organised). But he's still only 5 months, so we're deliberately taking a softly softly approach.

    Has anyone pureed any meat yet? (as opposed to giving a meat-mix shop jar)?

    I just followed the weaning guide that I got sent by HIPP & C&G which said simialr.

    Not pureed meat yet - am waiting til he's a bit older, just had the meaty jars the last couple of days)

  • Nightmare, Ello has mastered the stairs 2 whole flights, even the difficult ones up to the attic, I could have done without that for a while!

    :T:rotfl:Why are stairs SO exciting? As soon as the living room door is open Benjamin races for the stairs! I have had to stop leaving anything on there to be taken upstairs (everyone does this right?) because Benjamin just flings it all down to the bottom on his way up *rolleyes*

    Hugs, MFD, content yourself with the thought of how fabulous a mummy you are

    Thank you.

    Happy Birthday Annabel, Hope the hungry caterpillar didn't eat all the cake.

    This made me properly LOL - good job I am on my own!

    Can't believe all the ones who were just in front of me on the pregnancy club are now starting to have birthdays.

    I know! Only 5 weeks here and less for you (3?) are you having a party? I am still undecided as to what to do.

    I just threw it in the blender and hoped!!


    A question for those with crawlers/walkers/self feeding babies/older kids - I have had to start bathing Benjamin more frequently now he is getting more dirty but I am still trying to keep it to a minimum because I don't want to bath him every night. What are the other mums (that don't believe in nightly baths) doing? And does anyone have any tips for giving baby a good wash? :o

    Also - does anyone else have a baby who drinks bath water and should I be stopping him? At the moment I just find it really funny, he sticks his face in the water to get a mouthful and then comes up spluttering! We already have to have 2 sponges so he can have one to suck and I can have one to wash him.

    MFD - I just wipe face/neck/hands with a flannel and stick a new babygrow on. I've got a bath water drinker too.

    He hates being flannelled! I think I am too rough :o

    And he always has fluff between his toes, I get embarrassed when there is red fluff mixed in and he wore his red socks a week ago :o :rotfl:


    I just wondered what others were doing. I know some bathe every day but there is no way I would be up for that!!

    well the new challenge has brought a flurry of cooking here. Today I roasted potatoes and turkey for tomorrow's lunch,

    Baked 2 carrot cakes

    made 6 portions of chick pea curry

    and a delia fat onion tart with cheesy mustard pastry (nommity nomnoms)

    DH is in boy heaven :)

    Hugs about your mum MFD. I guess that's why you're not called MMD :)
