  • Thanks ladies - he doesn't have as much hair now as he did either! It's started thinning out :( I like it and I want it to stay!! DH had similar hair when he was born, and it is really thick and dark now, but after his baby fluff came off it grew back bright blonde so I'm wondering if Alfie's might do the same.

    Might take him swimming in a couple of weeks then. Did you just kind of hold him in the water and chat to him?

    Your picture of A is gorgeous and I love the FB ones too! The first time we took H swimming (he was about6-7 weeks) we just held him and bobbed him around, talking to him. Now we do things like hold his head while he floats on his back, rest his chin on your shoulder and help him kick his legs etc.

    Glam- well done on getting up for the sale. I probably will for the summer one, but I never find these in-between ones as good.

    Lolly- hugs for chickenpox.

    Nikkit- spots are totally normal in little ones, and as Aless says they will go on their own.

    Aless- big hugs after your bad night. We suffered after jabs last week, but seem to be all back to normal now.

    Thanks to all you ladies for your lovely words last night. I feel tons better now. My little boy is the best present I could ever have (and he's started not getting up till 8:30 which makes me love him all the more) :D.

    We have a swim seat, so she bobs about in that, and I can rest my chin on it, and swim up and down with my feet!

    I got hacked off with DH this morning - I asked him to make a start on the washing which he did, sorted it into piles, and washed one load but then left it wet in the basket

    Oh, you just reminded me my washing line has snapped and fell down. That'll give OH something to do today when he eventually gets out of his pit.


    V decided to get up at 6.20 this morning. Does she not realise its Saturday? :(

    SJ, Beautiful photo.

    Have been to Next, well two of them, town centre and retail park. Gave my childminder a lift too as her car is in the garage. Not much baby stuff, only got 3 things for Alex, Joe came off better, baseball shoes, two t-shirts and a lovely cardigan, OH -
    boxers and me? Big fat zero.

    Oh well, had to be content with my Macdonalds Bacon Roll breakfast. Two Nexts, then Macdonalds and home for 8.30. And OH had to get up and see to Alex. About time.

    Ahhh OH has just gone to take Henry to minor injuries clinic... he wet himself again rather than asking to go to toilet so I was taking him upstairs to change him and he didnt want to as OH was putting his playhouse together in garden so he was struggling. Next thing I know he has thrown his head forward and hit it against the stair... when I got him upstairs he had blood in his mouth and it looks like he has gone through with his teeth just below his lip... I feel awful _pale_ as he is really anti me again at the moment and I feel like it was my fault, just like when he hurt his nose on holiday.... sorry to lower thread so early in the morning but just had to tell someone......
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    Beenie yey for getting your cotbed up! Did you get the I love my bear one in the end? (sorry I must have missed what you got!)


    When did eveyone start taking their LOs swimming?[/QUOTE]

    Must have missed the I love my bear cotbed buying! I fancied the dark wood one but we got the white one from Argos instead. We have got the I Love My Bear crib tho and its lovely and quite a good size.

    I took K swimming at about 4 mths. He now does swimming lessons. Hes 5.5mths and the youngest in the class but really enjoys it!
    Unfortunatley 25mins is his limit and the class is 30 mins so hes not a happy camper at the end lol

    I went upstairs to find DD5 eating DD4's poo from the potty!!!

    Worst part was.. she cried when I took it off her!!!

    Awww god lol

    Aww Glam I am sorry the sale wasnt great, I've never braved a next sale, we went to the chrsitmas one the day after it started, we managed to get some lovely stuff for Elliot for 6-9 months, there was probably a lot more nicer things on the day of the sale but I didnt want to brave it lol

    Thanks SJ :) I'm dying to take Elliot swimming cos I have free swimming nappies lol

    (((hugs))) Nikkit, could it not just be that your hormones are all over the place? can you speak to someone about it? HV?

    Awww SJ thats well cute and deffo not wind lol

    Aww ((hugs))) Mazcabs, it wasnt your fault xxx

    After a nightmare day yesterday of crying and not settling, elliot fed at 9pm, then again at 12.15 then a 5am (could not believe he went nearly 5 hours) then again at 8am, he is awake now and on his fisher price swing, whichhe seems to enjoy.

    We are trying to get ready to go out we are going to Cragside http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-cragsidehousegardenandestate/ so we are trying to think of everything we need lol

    Should probably try and feed Elliot before we leave? do you think?

    We're going to buy a carrier on the way out.

    there was hardly any nice baby boy stuff in next

    I just got 2 white blouses, a fushcia pink one (:eek:) and a blue stripey one. Not even tried them on yet - they might not fit! Got a 10 so hoping my boobies haven't grown anymore!

    OH is still in bed :mad: so much for going into town!

  • Morning Ladies and Gents,

    I have had a pretty lovely nights sleep, fishfinger was up at 12 (daddys turn) then 3am and 6pm. Managed to give her a nice bath and have a tidy in the flat and am now relaxing with a cuppa.
    She has finished her last 3 feeds of 3oz so I think I should move up to 4? she sleeps abouts 3-4 hours after a feed normally so I don't think they were quite filling her up last night.
