    Oooh, well done Rhys!

    Bags still need to go down, but the kitchen floor is mopped, baby laundry and grown up laundry is done and dried, the bedlinen is about to go into the dryer (Molly mashed an avocado slice into it), the kitchen corner is clean, the dishes are done and put away, the sink is washed, the counter wiped, various bits of stuff put away, the floor in the office cleaned and our bedframe put on the local classifieds. I'm going to photograph my ebay stuff tonight and spend tomorrow using Turbo Lister ready for the Big Sale. Husband is making dinner, Molly is playing in the baby cage and I'm feeling very productive. Hurrah!

    DS3 had reflux and lactose intolerance.. I didn't think that much vomit could come out of one small baby!!!

    Do you have the cot tilted to he isn't flat? Mine slept in the car seat, it was the only place he was not sick constantly or choking on his stomach contents.

    As well as the bloated gassy tummy his poo was just liquid.. and often frothy or mucusy.. definitely something to watch out for.

    No cot not tilted, just a cushion under the fitted sheet. The car seat thing, we did this with DS1, before the reflux was diagnosed. But the gaviscon worked on him. And he was fine once he was on that.

    Poos aren't liquid though, quite solid and normal.

    Well total waste of time going to HV drop in, as not HV were there. So whats the point of having them, if they can't be arsed to show. Waited half an hour for her to come back in, but left once Alex started to get bored and whingey.

    Alex did quite a bit of screaming and crying out after going to bed, with numerous visits to calm him down, BUT he slept through until 6.45 am. Am totall gobsmacked.

    Also have one tooth, bottom right, that had cleared the gum and you can actually feel it, when he grabs your fingers shoves them in his mouth and bites down on you.

    Have given him cheese spread soldiers for lunch, instead of puree. Only had one and a tiny bit of actual cheese, plus a yogurt but they have all stayed down.

    And have done nothing all afternoon, Joe at cricket with his dad. But i suppose i should be thinking of something for tea for Alex and myself. Fridge and cupboards are full, after I stocked up in Lidl yesterday, using the £5 off voucher from the paper :money: and I still don't know what to make!!

    Can you believe the CSA sent a letter to my ex. As in my ex from 7 years ago, saying i'd closed his claim for Amber. Can you imagine if he a bit psycho and hadn't known i'd met someone else and had another baby?!

    Luckily it was sent to his mother's address and she opened it. He might have misunderstood and thought i'd claimed against him for Amber in the first place.

    having a good day arent you elle? :D ...

    Yup! :D

    Just discovered something else too.. Rhys can do the pincer grip thingy and knock toys together :D We've not played with his stacking cups here for a while as he has some at Grandma's too. I just dug them out and stacked them up though and he picked one up by the lip, then the next one and sat bashing them together... Mum never told me he could do that! :o

    Right, egg custard, sleeping on a cushion and knocking toys together.. enough achievements for one day! :A

    Beenie, Probably due to the same random error that made the computer spit out Ambers name in stead of C, when closing the claim. And the computer did it all by its self, with no input from an incompentant human.*rolls eyes*

    Thanks SM. Custard he's just eaten seems to have returned, have to go now and wipe him down again. Yay for rubber type wipeable bibs.

    Well that's 2 loads of washing, some hoovering and some tidying more than I've done today!

    I did walk into town to get a massage voucher and a birthday card for my friend though. She's having her 30th birthday party tonight which I'm going to. Starts at 7pm so got my mum coming for about 6.30 to give Alfie his bath and last feed (got a bottle of EBM in the fridge ready) and I'm playing out. Let's see if I can last longer than the other night lol!

    Well done Alex for teeth and sleeping, well done Rhys for, well, everything lol!!
