    Well done Andrew!!!

    Glad Katie had a nice birthday. I saw Gruffalo Trunkies in John Lewis yesterday and thought of you!

    Off to make some HM baby food a la Annabel Karmel! I have made stuff for us today (including Carrot & Coriander soup for the first time), so it's Holly's turn now. I will puree it well!!!

    Might be back later. x

    Redmel I have a babasling. I love it as it's so quick to get on and off but only use it in the house as more than 1/2 hr and my shoulder hurts. It was a bit difficult when Erin was very small to get her comfy but now I just shove her in sitting on my hip while I get on with a few jobs and she loves it.

    Thanks.. I was mainly thinking of it for around the house so I can have my hands free to deal with K, he is still only a baby himself and will only just be 15mths when the newbie arrives. I was thinking about things like sorting his lunch out etc....that may become stressfull if newbie is also screaming for attention!!

    At the end of the day I have no idea of how newbie will be, and I may be pleasantly surprised and have another chilled baby like Kai:)

    Yay for commando crawling and rolling over.

    Katie chooses a toy to go to bed with every night, that way we don't have the issue of what happens when it gets lost or needs a wash. I have a feeling tonights choice will be Gruffalo.

    Fitzio - I have one of those in mind if we go abroad in the next couple of years.

    glam- i never thought of a teddy. K has 2 teddies that he randomly hugs/chews/ puts on his face when he is going asleep. i even wrote it on his 'things to know' bit of his nursery 'all about me' form.
    hope it works.

    right off to catch up on shameless past 4 epsiodes. chat tomorrow at some point :)



    hugs again for caz and charlie

    ... Elle - I hadn't realised you were in work again. Are you doing all 10 KIT days?

    Yup :) Did my first one last Wednesday, then today and then two a week for the next four weeks. Am actually quite enjoying myself when I'm there. Feels nice to be productive again :o

    Erin doesn't take bottles so I've just gone straight for a doidi cup and Erin is fine with it.

    Glam I bath Erin every night - it's supposed to help as it raises their temperature which is what naturally happens when you are about to go to sleep and it goes down when you are about to wake up - I hope I have that the right way round!



    Kindof I got some disposable mattress protectors for waters breaking as a pack of 4 in boots and since I didn't use them all at the time I'm using them now under Erin's bedding.
    Sorry if I missed anyone, just done a massive catch up and can't remember half of what I read|!
    Can I just say:

    Andrew rolled over from back to front half-a-dozen times today :j :j :j :j :j

    After a sleep though, he'd forgotten again what to do with the bottom arm :rotfl: So he's having to learn it again. I left him on the rug on my parents floor, he rolled himself over and started commando crawling out of the room before anybody noticed :rotfl:

    Go Andrew :j
