    I love the pics, will try and do another of Erin soon. We took Erin to a 'crown and bonnet Easter parade' yesterday. Erin won a prize with her bonnet and rubber duck stuck on the top! (well, everyone won something but she was the third baby to be given a prize which was a big chocolate egg which I then gave back as I didn't want her or OH eating it!) It was a lovely day and has been quite a lovely long weekend despite the fact I was ill with a bad cold for most of it so we didn't go anywhere.

    I just found out today after looking on facebook for the first time since the weekend that a close friend of mine from uni got married, now I'm wondering why I wasn't invited and whether I should post a congratulations or not...

    Slow day at work today, no bosses in and not much in the way of emails or phone calls. Been looking at shoes on Clarks...

    afternoon x

    jenny I'd just assume its because weddings are expensive and if they have big families they may have just run out of places - or some venues are tiny. I'd not take it personally so yeah send congrats x

    Love the baby pics they look so old now, I bet Bob will look so much older too once he has some teeth. The grumpy guts just screamed his way round the supermarket then promptly went to sleep in the car.

    Hope you get the house delain, fingers crossed x

    Not much going on here, really looking forward to some peace tomorrow, not that I don't love time with the older two but they are so bored of each other and constant fighting now.

    Definitely going for that one... we will just have to see who the landlord/agency chooses, they had ten viewings today :eek: Thankfully most people were put off by the 90's kitchen and chocolate brown bathroom suite :rotfl: doesn't worry me though.

    Evening Ladies :D

    So I am stressing! Lily is 22 weeks old on thursday and she has rolled from front to side a hand full of time as well as front to back but it's like she CBA (can't be arsed) :D to move!!!

    She can sit on her own for short periods (see FB) (PM if u want to be friends)

    She "Talks" the hind legs off a donkey (takes after her mother :rotfl:)
    IS very strong alert and switched on & a very very chilled baby but is just happy to lie on her mat put everything in her mouth & shout at her toys whilst flailing her arms & legs around.

    Should I be concerned that she is not rolling all the time????
    If you can think it........it will happen

    simply NO. She can do it you know this so she has moved on from trying to learn it. Bob can also roll tummy to back and twist till he almost rolls back to front but doesn't quite do it. If she is content you've nothing to worry about. Bob is rarely happily to just play on or with anything for more than 5 mins - he likes being carried around and is so lazy but they all do it eventually. He does sit loads more than my other 2 did, he can sit by himself but if I move he falls because he twists right round to see where I'm going.

    No, not very many do roll all the time.

    DS1 rolled 4 times.. and that was when he fell onto his back from standing at furniture

    DD1 never rolled.. not once

    DS2 never rolled.. he was too fat lol

    DD2 never rolled.. she was asleep

    DS3 wasn't allowed to roll.. but he used to try when being changed and managed it a whole 3 times, vomitted and cried to be turned back

    DD3 rolled quite often maybe 2 or 3 times a week

    DD4 rolled all the time.. then screamed the house down the second she was on her front

    DD5 never rolled

    DD6 rolls maybe 2-3 times a week..

    mine sit at about 8-12 months and go from sitting to crawling. and walk at 13-15 months..

    I can't think of any babies I have ever known apart from 2 that rolled a large amount..

    Evening gang.

    Just wondered if anyone had, had experience of this?

    The back of Josh's head is pretty flat. I thought it would kind of somehow pop back into shape, but it seems that there is a name for this.

    Apparently you can help correct it by encouraging your baby to sleep with their heads to the side, but only up to 7 months. After then it needs medical intervention.

    Has anyone else had this? I don't want Josh to have a funny shaped head, bless him! :(

    Ps - gorgeous pics PP and Delain. Beautiful girlies you have there :)

    I'm going to wantonly post up a new pic of Josh in a moment too..
