    no, he doesn't. I took J just because he's always with me! I did try him in it but you don't have to. :)

    Morning all..

    Housework has ground to a halt here. Everywhere needs hoovering and Rhys had a completely terrorised screaming fit when I attempted half the living room :cool: I'd put him in his cot with some loud electronic musical toys but it clearly didn't help. That was 40mins ago and he's still jittery now; lots of dimpled chin and pouty lips going on! :o

    Have got friends coming over for a cuppa, cake and catch up later.. might skip lunch and just scoff cake all afternoon :D

    Hope everyone has a nice day :) xx

    I used to say "a baby... Which is a shame cos D really wanted a puppy..."


    I "think" I might have some on the way... I got an email the other day thanking me for my order so I'll just see if any money goes out this week... It's a really stoopid website for ordering from though!!
    I am waiting to see if it holds his interest and if it does I'll order from the stupid website :p I'm quite annoyed tho because when I was finding the advert on youtube to show mum, I found the American one and its the same price over there but in $ so when you work it out they are actually getting it for the equivalent of £19 - RUDE!

    Kindof - usually the older colours are cheaper, I got Chris a first class for my mums car for £75 :money:3yrs ago tho :p if you buy online you could take it to your local council road safety unit for fitting, you can find out if there is one in your area here: Local Car Seats Help and Advice
    Also Maxi Cosi are just about to start doing a rival seat to the first class its called the opal, I think it might be a bit pricey though as its brand new so no old stock to get a bargain on, you can pre order it for around £200 at the mo :s

    Your link didn't show what the fit finder said, can you cut n paste it? Some Britax seats have 2 ways of being strapped in which is quite good as they fit more cars, mum had to use the "alternative routing" on Chris's grp0 britax seat.

    kindofagilr - no idea if you watch bblb (and we don't but I heard a rumour so turned it on :eek:) but the Welsh girl serving that posh bloke in the food establishment is the infamous Rachel Rice I was talking about. You probably didn't see it, but she was there to see :p

    Car seat - doesn't have to be there, but in the past always had little one there just to 'test it out'. If it's not possible, it's not too much of an issue.

    POOP question

    How many poops a day are those around 1yo having?
    We are averaging 4-5 a day and whilst I thought it might be teeth I'm now wondering otherwise :cool:

    He eats 4 meals a day and has 2-3 bottles of milk, he drinks 3 beakers of water a day and eats loads of fruit. So I'm thinking it could be because of this but not sure.
    Sometimes they are really loose and othertimes just normal

    Glam, Molly does two poops a day, sometimes three but then two of them will be smaller. She eats three meals, 1-2 cups of water (small cups though), 3-4 BFs and snacks as and when.

    It just seems excessive!

    Jack just bit my nipple - I was sitting on the floor and he jumped on me so I threw us both back on the floor and he bit me :eek:
