Andrew's beginning to turn his nose up at the puree weaning, so I'm hoping he'll be ready for BLW shortly.

Maddy crawled across the floor at toddler group as a woman had opened a packet of baby rice cakes, she started by just grunting at her but then went to full on shouts until she was given one, so embarrassing.

he's getting wise to my tricks of singing to get him to open his mouth as well. lol!!

I made up some random ditty based on a song I think's off an advert about fish tonight as he had HM fish pie
Jackie's eating fishy, on a little dishy, Jackie's eating fishy all up for his tea.
Fish for his Mamma, Fish for his Dadda, Fish for the Jackie, eat it all up now!

Worked better than row your boat :rotfl:

You have to be a member to see it, Jillie. What's the gist of it? I had pixifotos taken last week and the photographer was ace with H. I haven't actually seen or bought any prints yet though. They looked fab on screen though.

That is so funny Tara. I can so imagine Henry doing that!

with the hours i work (till 6pm) i;m going to ask if the first days K is in nursery if i can finish at 5 to pick him up, or if not me DH to finish ealry so he can. dont want on his first day FIL to do the picking up.

Holidays, I suppose it depends a lot on the baby. Aslong as LO has me, and I have a sling, we don't need anything else, so don't have a problem going away now.

I like routine mum and routine baby theory, who was it who told me about that? Me and LO are perfectly matched, both very much not into routines!

I was beaten, it was Weezl, and it made very good sense. We don't have a rigid routine, but we do have a predictable routine, mainly to save my sanity. I need a break from the kids at night, they are hard work during the day and I just could not cope if they were up till midnight with me!

BEWARE OF THE PIXIs!

Hi, just wanted to share my experience with PixiFoto and hope I can prevent others from being ripped off!

I used the voucher for a free shot from the bounty pack at the Manchester studio. They ask what you want from the photos and for the first shot - which has to be your free one - did the exact opposite - so to get what you want you have to buy some of the others they take. (free shot was horrible).

I ordered others at a cost of £100 - I was misled (or the member of staff simply neglected to tell me) about what I would receive... which was poor value and not what i need for the gifts I had explained they were for.

When i complained when i picked them up the girls shrugged their shoulders and said to complete a cmment card. I wrote a complaint by email. The area manager called me today and basically said tough, it must have been my mistake and refused to do anything about it. (To cut a long story short). She was rude and useless to say the least.

I am really upset and disappointed with the photos and can't bring myself to look at them. Stay clear and stick with a local photographer - I wish I had.

thats the post hun.

You mean I wasn't supposed to grab Jacobs face so he did the fish mouth and shovel a spoonful of food in??? Oh well.. it worked lol... It was only the first shovel so he realised I wasn't feeding him cauliflower to make him wretch and shudder this time
