Hello everyone! We're back at home, finally, following several incidents of attempted husbandicide, almost getting deported, the baby not being booked on the plane, a seatmate's seizure and almost getting diverted, a lost shoe on the way home and much much more.

Good to see you - I was wondering when you were due back. Hope it was good despite all the dramas.

Yay to four teeth!!

Can I ask you a question? Feel free to tell me to bog off if you don't want to answer.

Did a lack of teeth until a bit later on impact on eating lumpy food? Caitlin is being a fussy miss with her food and I'm finding it really hard to get anything down her that contains lumps. Actually, at the moment I'm finding it hard to get anything down her that isn't cauli or brocolli cheese or bread sticks. But that's another story

Even when she is in the mood for eating, very small lumps are OK but nothing more than that. She just spits them straight back out. Even finger food (which is a trial in itself), if it has to be bitten rather than sucked/gummed, she isn't interested in it. She's got two teeth at the bottom but that's it.

We have only just got a first top tooth and Benjamin eats chicken and pork!!!

He sometimes amazes me what he can eat.

Have you tried a sandwich with the crusts cut off?

Glamazon

Choppy - Jack hasnt got any teeth and he can bite food. I can give him a banana and he breaks bits off with his gums and eats them. He will also chew chicken strips and I can see them breaking up in his mouth - need to work on the eating with his mouth open :cool:

I've just scoffed an Easter Egg - I'll look like that bloke niddy posted but with pert boobs :rotfl:

If I act mental when they give me, can I not pay it back?

I know... I can't believe she'll be one in less than 2 months

Although she's just a little dot really... She was stood next to my friends baby today, 2 months older and she just completely towered over Caitlyn!! Was quite funny!

I know, it's scary how quickly time goes. Caitlin was 9 months on Sunday. I love the stage she's at but I kind of feel sad that she's not a tiny newborn any more. The sleepless nights, BF issues, lots of crying (me and her) all seem a distance memory!!

Krystal - how grown up does Caitlyn look in her highchair! I don't think I've seen a picture of her for a while.

Swimming - I took Caitlin for the first time on 16th September. I've just worked out she was 11 and a half weeks old. Crikey, that seems really young now. We've been, on average, once a week since then and she has picked up so much. For example, if we go to the side of the pool, she will hold on to the bar. She will also hold on to floats and try to grab toys that are floating in the pool. We go to lessons and, although the emphasis is on fun for the babies (and parents), everything is tailored to your baby learning what to do if they ever fall into water - for example, learning to grab and hold on to the nearest thing.

Tigs - Caitlin wasn't a premmie but she definitely weighed less when I first took her than Andrew does now. Caitlin wore (and still does) a TWF baby wrap. She's only just grown out of her 0-6 month one so 0-6 months would be fine for Andrew. New ones are about £10 inc postage. You may be able to get a second hand one from Ebay, as I've seen them quite a bit on there. ETA: very similar to the one that CSH linked to. Elle's post about the baby snug reminded me that she also wears a Happy Nappy on top of a Huggies swim nappy.

Hi Sugar - sounds like an eventful time!! Have you got the energy to tell us more?

Choppy- this sounds very similar to what we do. Liam will always go for the side and will hold on without needing me to hold his weight. We stared Oct/Nov so Liam would have been around 4 months

Have you got a full set yet?

I meant to ask, on the highchair photo, has Caitlyn had her first haircut?

Not just yet... But we're up to 6

She's had the straggly bits trimmed off the back but nothing more than that... I did think today it's just starting to look a bit longer...
