    Gill - I was going to say the same as MDW Tahlie has a wet suit and she wore it the first time but hasn't since and hasn't got cold as our pool is over 30. Though we don't stand around much with her so that helps.

    Yeay for mobile Rhys :)

    Just wondering how many pics of their LOs everyone has in their house? We have loads of T but our friends who's little boy is 5 weeks older than T have non and I find that odd!

    Oh and charity shops are fab for kids books I need to go have a mouch round our ones again soon.

    Hello :wave:

    My P isnt working properly, I have to really punch the button, so if I dont make sense you'll know why!

    Speaking of books, S is quite hapy to "read" them himself, but gets very frustrated if we try and read them to him! He wont sit still long enough even at bedtime. Earlier today I tried to read a book with him and I ended up reading it to the cat, who paid a lot more attention than S did...

    That is exactly like K, he will sit for ages looking at the pictures himself, but has no patience to be read to, and just tries to take charge of the book and keep turning the pages!!

    Hello btw:p:D

    I have the pics of our picnic on Sunday on my camera, Maddy walked over to Ben to get the ball then tried to throw it back to him, really weird on the camera seeing her standing in the grass ball in hand, sad to see my baby disappearing.

    Som, some people just don't do photos on the wall.
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    I have 1 picture of me and dh on our wedding day, and one picture of the two older boys on their last school photo and they aren't exactly prominent...I am not one for having photos around the house, or ornaments or anything like that really!!

    Caitlyn's still wearing the baby socks she was bought when she was born... But then she's only a 2-2.5 shoe :p

    Som, I have loooooooooooads of pictures of Aimee up about the place...

    But none of Caitlyn yet... :oHence the Tempest shots from Toddlers...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I read Katie a story when I put her to bed, she then sits and looks through the books.

    If you ask her about books she says "I like books, but can't see words!"

    She doesn't like daddy reading to her as he does it wrong!

    evening

    we have a mixture of cloth and card books here. although we cant leave him alone with a card book as he eats them :(
    we dont have a story at nightime but one in the afternoon. mum got him a 'Thomas' one from a charity shop, where at points in the story you have to press a corresponding button which makes a noise to go with the story (if that makes sense) Kian loves it. i have all the thomas books for when he stops eating so we can read them all. he loves the different sounds and voices we do :D

    Alice had a phase where she used to turn the pages too quickly for me to read all the words so I used to do a high speed precis if she was going too fast.

    All this talk of books, I have some news about Ben, well it's more of a dilema, I knew about it yesterday but didn't know if I wanted to share it!
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    We have loads up in our house, just normal size ones in cheapo wilko frames! Its a rented house so we cant put too much of our own spin in the place, so photos are our way of doing it. Have never bothered with photos before S was born though!
