Is it a family holiday/long weekend or a hen weekend? I am ever so slightly jealous

David just has water to drink (and house white ) - at what age are babies supposed to start drinking juice?

We still only give Alice juice occasionally as a treat (e.g. today she had it at dinner time because we had a friend round for dinner). But our water tastes nice. Sometimes when we go away the water tastes gross so I can see why people might not like it.

Alfie has only had swigs from my cup, not sure he'd be bothered if it was in his own cup. He gets dead excited and flaps his arms about though, it's very sweet!

Tia, They might be better than spouts because they place the liquid at the back of the mouth rather than by the teeth... But I don't think the drinking angle is great because they have to put their face down rather than tip their head back IYSWIM...

I got Aimee some of these for her lunch box... Caitlyn likes them too... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermos-Coolkidz-Fliptop-Beaker-360ml/dp/B001T9N0FI

Alice still (after more than year) tries to drink from her flip top cup with a straw by tipping it upside down.

Enjoy the blackberry jam - are you enjoying all the OS homemakey stuff as much as I am?

Yes, absolutely! My house smells like vinegar though! Didn't notice until I went out, then came back. I'm very excited about getting the hampers done at Christmas :T If I made jam now it would keep fine until Christmas wouldn't it? What about the chutney?

MDW - You just reminded me I need to book Keira in for another pony ride, she hasn't been in a few weeks - oops!

Just got back from my mums not long ago, Keira was exhausted but started her whinging, constant moaning and crying about coming home. It's given me a sore head. She is always 100X badly behaved when she is tired. She is giving me lip on the bus too "I am NOT tired" "I am NOT going to my bed!" "Hmmmph" Who does she think she is? Veruca chuffin Salt?

Had to detour by the garage for some diluting juice and tampons (3 weeks now Ive been bleeding!) and she is stropping cause I won't buy her an ice cream and the woman behind the till say to me "I think SHE should be in her bed!!!" in a dead snooty voice, she's lucky I didn't ram a tampon up her schnozz. I told her to mind her own buisness.

She's fast asleep now, but not before I showed her the hungry hungry hippos game that showed up today, and let her see me put it away in a high cupboard and told she wasn't getting to play with it until her behaviour improves over the next 2 days as I'm tired of her backchat!

I am pleased to announce that I am feeling much better (still have off days, but very few) AND more importantly, T is now 10wks old and I can say with certainty that I love her with all my heart, since she was about 8wks old I started having feelings towards her. I feel so guilty that it took so long and that I was so dismissive of her when she was born, I could barely bring myself to hold her, but now I don't want to put her down, I love her smiles, and the way she 'talks' at me, she is so beautiful too...I am a very lucky mum to have 4 such gorgeous children:) So again, Thank You all xx

:j And don't feel guilty - you love her now and you always looked after her regardless.

:rotfl: BM I can just imagine you dragging Keira out of the garage leaving a woman stood bewildered at the till with a tampon haning out of her nose :rotfl:

MDW Have a lovely time and I bet Katie will love the pony ride:)

Susan - I keep meaning to say, I am so pleased that you are not suffering as you did with your last pregnancy. I know (from what you said on here) that you were very worried about it. I will keep my fingers crossed that you have an easy time and can enjoy the time carrying your baby.

Thank you for all your replies, I am very relieved that my feelings for T have developed and I think it helped immensely that I wasn't constantly seeing people that kept harping on about the fact that she was a girl, and how amazing that is and how pleased I must be, as if my boys mean nothing to me!! I have been able to take my medication and just concentrate on my baby...not my 'girl'. I am amazed at how strong my feelings are now, it just feels a bit overwhelming because it has taken this long but then increased extremely fast.

Anyway, Off now as I need to pack school bags and then watch true Blood before bed:D

xx
