Redstar - I guess perhaps any red bric-a-brac or gloves/scalves or toiletries. I'll see if I can think of anything else

Thank-you everyone for some fab ideas. I looked up some salt dough ideas on the net, and there are some great decorations on there. On the way back from collecting A, I popped to the shops and bought some crafty bits, mirrors and things so we can give it a go tomorrow after school. I also bought some red crepe paper and some marshmallows that I can wrap up in it. Hopefully that'll do .
Also all those lovely pics made me try again to get a photo of F smiling, but I still can't get him to smile when I have a camera, this was the best I could do;

By the way, please ignore the mess in the background. My whole living room looks like that as we are still trying to pack .

Oh, and Gill, how was the Christmas Market - did you manage to make it there ok? We really enjoyed the Bath one, it was really hard to restrain ourselves from spending a fortune.

At least you have an excuse - after a year and half I don't think I can still use the just moved house excuse.

Snow pics from this morning:

Red, my whole house looks like that... I'm not packing... And I've lived here 10 years...

Aimee's back home and there is the touch of the green eyed monster over the dolly pushchair... I find a lot of the time at the moment Aimee is "trying" to play with Caitlyn but it just results in Caitlyn screeching because she's rather do her own thing... Or Aimee's pulling her around... Or stopping her playing with her things... It is very trying...

It was very cold, busy and expensive lol. I bought a lovely warm pair of gloves and had lots of tasters of sausage, cheese and chocolate The meal afterwards was gorgous tho and it was so nice to be other just the 2 of us and both having a drink

I'm loving all the gorgeous pics

Forgot to update on A - she is a little darling very happy - now weaned on purees, sleeping till 5ish when she wakes up 4 a feed. Sitting up 4 a little bit not very steady though. Does a wierd thing when lying on her back where she arches her back lifts of the floor and inches her feet up - she can travel quite far and in her cot I keep having to rescue her as she starts at the bottom and ends up wedged at the top. She has a massive bald patch where she has rubbed her hair off - shes like a monk lol. Still bf but going back to work in Jan (sob sob sob - no option have 2 go back) so will be giving her formula soon would like some advice/ other peoples experience on what brand/stage to give. On the odd occasion i've been away from her she has had ready to drink aptamil stage 1 - my god its expensive.

Ladybird has already beat me to it, but I also went back to work when H was 8 months old, and I just fed him myself morning, evening (and night) and when I was off. He had a cup of cow's milk at other times, which I know isn't recommended until 1yo but he was havign it in addition to my milk and a very good diet of food so I wasn't worried. On the occasion that he's had formula it's been Aptamil but not for any good reason!

I am loving all the baby updates and pictures. The snow ones are brilliant. Still no snow for us .
