MFD - hugs for the idiot at your work. Is he now wearing his dangly bits as earrings?

SJ - Yay for teeth! :T I was really worried about the feeding with teeth thing but 6 weeks on and no close calls whatsoever yet.

*Touch wood* tonight I took Isla up for her bath at 7.15 and she's been asleep since. Every so often I hear the odd rumble on the monitor but I think she's just rolling around the crib.

I wanted to point Tia in the direction of this zebra print dress

I went to sort through Isla's next size clothes earlier and realised she doesn't have a single 6-9 month babygrow! I can feel an ebay/town centre splurge coming on. Actually, I tell a lie. My fantastic cousin who spoils Isla rotten sent a parcel today which is the leopard babygrow, hat and bib I loved on her in the next size up I'd mentioned in passing it had been one of my fave fun outfits on her and I was gutted when she outgrew it :rotfl:

Love that dress.

I'm glad Isla went down okay. H has been up about ten times already. He is currently asleep on our bed, surrounded by pillows. I'm not sure whether to put him in his cot when I go up, or leave him on our bed as OH is at work tonight anyway.

H rolled off our bed a couple of weeks ago. It was daytime and one second he appeared to be nowhere near any edge, I turned for a second and next thing I saw he was going head first towards the floor. He was fine though, barely a cry! But it taught me a lesson!

We had a competition at our BF picnic today- prizes for the eldest and youngest BF babies there. Anyone care to guess the age of the eldest, just for fun?

My SIL is fab but I am so jealous that she will spend more time with C (and so will Daddy cos of his shifts) than I will. It'll only be a short term thing (Boss is hoping to keep me on but I am hoping to get pg during this spell of work (Oct for 6-9 months)) but it is eating me up just thinking about it.

Does everyone else feel this jealousy? I don't feel guilty, just very jealous! Could send C to nursery/childminder but the outcome is still the same . Please tell me I am normal....

Yes - that's normal! I've had the same with my Mam when Charlotte has done things there and I've missed it.

But on the other hand, I was a SAHM when Josh was born and felt jealous as my ex went out to work and came in telling me all the usual work banter type tales, and I had nothing to say back as I'd not seen anyone all day. I wasn't allowed to have friends - long story!

Did it also say that when the child falls over or is hurt in some way they are likely to run around their father to get to their mother for comfort? Didn't watch it, wish I had now. Might see if I can find it on repeat.

They didn't cover that, it's a series about fatherhood and the program just went on about how wonderful dads are (but did cover some interesting facts) - I know some dads on here obviously didn't get the memo!

Gisi was the eldest 4?

Batteries dying on the lappy and I'm too [STRIKE]lazy[/STRIKE] tired to get the charger.

Night all x x

Jenny you've just reminded me, OH's old housemate did some filming for that programme with his DD! We knew we wanted to watch something last night but couldn't remember what.

Ah I see, fair enough.

Oh my god!!!!!!!! I'm watching the last episode of House that I sky +ed a couple of weeks ago and they just cut a girl's leg off with no pain relief :eek:

p.s. I know it's not real, but it freaked me out

I can give you a summary from what I remember:
When men become dads their hormone levels change so they are more nurturing (missed what causes the change though). This prevents them being too aggressive with their babies. After a while the levels return to normal and they provide more rough and tumble play and also a greater vocabulary which pushes children to test their limits and learn more. They also are better disciplinarians because they set rules. eg. rather than saying, 'I would like you to do this,' or using emotional reasons which women do more, men just say do this because I say so. Then girls who have had a good relationship with their fathers are more likely to marry someone who looks like their father.
