    SJ - happy anniversary Hun x

    Angelcake - big congrats to you and OH. I know you said it's yourfirst together but will it be his first? If so he must be very excited. Anyhoo best of luck xx

    Sleepy baby here she slept till 7.30 which is so much better than the 5.30 wake ups we've been getting. OH got up with her too so after a quick feed in bed I got to sleep till 9.30 :D then when I got up he made me a huge pile of eggy bread om nom nom.

    Thanks Somnium..
    he has 2 with his ex..but his ex will not allow him to to see them..
    it would basically mean him dragging them through the courts to see them.. cos of his nasty ex wife.. and he isnt prepared to put the kids through all that..we are hoping they will contact him when they are older..
  • Hi everyone, I'm back from holibobs and had a lovely time. The weather wasn't great, but the holiday was good anyway.

    Have I missed anything? New teeth? new babies? new anything?

    Our biggest news is that we had our first steps on Thursday. Four steps in front of both mummy and daddy (on one of the roughest days at sea on holiday!). We are now also much more confident at standing unaided too.

    Happy Anniversay SJ. X

    CAF, to be honest, if he's just playing then he doesn't want or need it, and if you were BF then you wouldn't have a clue on amounts so please don't get too hung up on what it says on the tin etc. :A He's about the age for colic so could be that with the screaming, or just a phase of 'cuddle me more'. He will drink what he needs, get him weighed if you want, (I never did Maddy :o) or use my hold up in the air 'she looks healthy/chubby legs' check. :rotfl:
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Just a quickie for the pram addicts please, we're off now but will check responses later,

    I need a new pram! Want to spend £100ish, prefer 4 wheels to 3, parent facing would be good but not essential, needs to be easy to puch and not stand on the brake like I do with the asda cheapy! Any ideas gratefully received :A

    Off out now but see you all tomorrow, have a great day everyone :)

    You could get a Joolz for that, on eBay, with extras ;)

    How was the cruise? Would you recommend it? We are still torn as to whether we fancy one or not. You went from Southampton didn't you? Did you take tons of luggage?

    Lovely Som :)

    And hello chopsticks and welcome back! :j for first steps

    We went off to a local street festival by accident! We planned to go to lunch but the place only opened at 1 and it was about 12:45 so we went back to the stage and stuff we'd seen on the way past. There was a swing band playing all kinds of wartime music, not very well but there was dancing and it was all fun and Molly was given a balloon. Then at 1:15 we went back to the place and it was still closed! So we walked about five minutes to an alternative place only to find that closed for renovations, went back to the original place - STILL CLOSED. So we came home and had pizza and pasta from the fridge that we planned to eat for dinner.

    he sleeps....

    Thanks Kindof.....and everyone else... i think it was the sick that concerned me more....
    I feel like he's out of sync, like he's huge but yet cant do some basic stuff. he doesnt reach for anything or grasp and he doesnt really follow objects but i know he'll just do what he wants when he wants.....

    just needed to calm down i think,everything was getting out of proportion in my head, im highly emotionally strung at the moment.
    god only knows what i'd be like if i didnt have you guys...

    Som - fancy making one of those for Landen LOL
    Speaking of xmas, we've already got him a stocking, and an xmas outfit...not entirely sure it'll fit him... or it will but mid october...put a 3-6 month sleepsuit on it and its "tight" LOL

    smart price super noodles for lunch, in case im needed for whinge duty/anti bark watch

    thanks again everyone xx
