  • :mad: for SS, Molly is beautiful :) All this chart stuff does my head in to be honest. I have taken Lexi to be weighed twice :o I dont need a nurse or up your own bum HV to tell me if my daughter is healthy!

    Mum, Dad, Ball and Pat (as in postman pat) His four favourite things. I was sure his first word would be milk. He does sometimes say 'more' when feeding, but I'm not 100% sure that counts yet.

    We nearly had Makapaka this morning :)

    We definitely have Mama, Dada, quack, duck, banana (well, lalala anyway) and possily sock. (and also possibly cat, but I'm not sure)

    We can also do a squeel that means I want that now, a very stern shake of the head for no, and lifting up my top for "can I have some milk please mummy" :rotfl:

    Wow thats ace Feelie!

    Lexi says mama, dada, nana, baba, hiya and sometimes dosh (josh)

    I wasnt too sure if she should be saying other words though? She babbles alot but not really interested in saying anything else.

    SS - I bought some kids suncream from Boots on Saturday, then got home and it said it shouldn't be used on children under 18 months old. I took it back today and swapped it for the baby one (I didn't realise they did the baby one, and hadn't seen it on the shelf on Saturday). It was Boots own brand - Soltan.

    Can I ask more questions? :D Do you literally just spoon the wallpaper pasted into the balloon? How much? Does it not weigh the balloons down? Can you see it inside the balloons? :o

    BTW, how much RR is left?

    Chopsticks: I would suggest you test a bit of the baby soltan on C before you actually want to use it if you know what I mean. Charlie reacted to soltan something terrible, he was scratching his face and burning up. It does have a really good UVA and UVB score on it though (better than BIL's more expensive ambre solaire ha ha ha)

    With balloons blow them with air up slightly - so they are just starting to stretch then let the air out. Put about a teaspoon or dessert spoon amount into each one (depending on size of balloon) and then rub the wallpaper paste around in the inside of the balloon. It basically blocks the tiny tiny holes in the balloon to prevents the helium from escaping as quickly. Then Fill the balloon up with helium. Because you've only put a little bit in the balloon andrubbed the paste around you shouldn't see it at all. This is what we did for our weddin balloons and they lasted for ages. We did the balloons on the friday and wedding was on saturday. Most of the balloons were still up when we left at 1am on sunday morning! This was what a balloon shop said to do and thats what they do. That way they can create the big arches, large displays etc ahead of time for weddings or parties.

    About half RR is left but I'm doing lots of cooking today, lemon cake, caramel shortcake, more RR probably for the weekend

    Well done Lexi and happy birthday Erin

    Charlie says lots of words now but my favourites at the moment have to be horrendous, pizza, beer, whisky, vodka, barcardi (my mum's fault-charlie was aking what the bottles were on the pub and she told him), cookies, he used to say gunder for dinner but doesn't anymore...
