    kindof - did you find out if E needed a nappy change? So glad Its easy to tell if Tahlie needs changing as a) they smell and b) she hates been dirty so gets whingy.

    Yeah I decided to have a peek and he had done a poo lol it was stuck to his bum, awful lol

    His Poo's do smell (so OH tells me) but I cant smell them BUT once I started wiping his bum I could smell it lol, I think its the first poo nappy i've done OH has done them all lol but he has asked me to sniff beany before and I havent been able to smell anything (when beany has his clohtes on)

    Som, in a couple of weeks she'll be able to hold her head well and she'll know what she's aiming for... Feeding all of a sudden becomes a breeze and complete second nature! :D

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    hammy, u are far too generous!! I can't possibly take d's clothes while he's still wearing them. :o i already feel bad enough for the big box u sent before. I won't say no buy really wish i could repay the massive favor somehow...if i were local, i'd bake u cookies!!

    Oooohhh,shame about the cookies - I love 'em :D

    It's no prob, honestly. We have been given way too many clothes for D so give me a few days and I will sort out a good mix of clothes :)
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    Seems like we all had sausage and mash for tea! We had it with baked beans.

    Sorry not caught up at all - hope your meet goes well tomorrow :)

    My right boob is well full - not fed her proper;y from it since 2 pm! We went to the childminders today - she had 9 kids! C was a lot better as I was there all the time and so was Josh. We all went to the park, and when we got back I was in the conservatory with C and a 10 month old, and a 5yo girl. As the 5yo left the room I followed her out (the room is quite safe) and went into the kitchen. C was quite happily playing for a good 10 mins before she shouted, then shut up and played with a doll!. She whinged a few minutes later and the CM went in, talked to them both and C was quiet again. All together she was in there for 20 mins completely without me. I kept popping my head round the corner but no so she could see me. CM says she's happy for us to go as often as we like - it gives her adult company too. So we're all going to a farm park tomorrow (missing baby group for it), should be good. I'm hoping that as C gets used to being at CMs with me there, eventually I'll be able to increase the time that I'm out the room, and then hopefully actually leave her - but I'm not counting any chickens yet!

    good night milk has either rice or cereal in it, suitable from 6mths according to the pack, can only be used for 1 bottle a day. It basically just the same as the old days when you put porridge/rusk in the bottle :D

    I suspected as much! Will give it a try I think. Currently I can't get Kieren to stay up past 7ish and he has never taken more than 6/7oz of a feed in his life but he has started waking up hungry at 5-5.30am every day. When hes fed hes still tired but as thats the time OH gets up for work hes too nosy to go back to sleep and is a little cranky pants until after porridge, another bottle and 1st nap at 8.30am!

    I really want to try and get him back to half six/quarter to 7 waking bottle, porridge then bottle and nap at half nine. I've tried him with a bottle of hungry baby tonight and i'll see if that makes a difference
