Thanks for everyone who answered my weaning questions! By the way I now know the answer to one of them, as today i thought I'll try and give him more for dinner, so since I was out, I tried him on a jar of apple puree which I had from a bounty pack. But then at bedtime he only fed for 5mins as opposed to his normal 25mins, so the answer is, yes Gina is right in her amounts, and if you give more it does put him off his milk!
Yorkshire - I go by GF mainly 
but yes I am feeding less often again now that he's on solids - so I would go back to 4-hrly if I were you. I give milk first thing in morning, and then cereal straight after. Then milk,solids,milk for lunch, (working towards solids then water when he gets protein), then milk feed in the afternoon, then water/juice late afternoon, then solids for dinner followed by water/juice, then milk feed before bed. I think they should still be on 3 proper milk feeds a day till about one year, so I think you'd give water at solids meals where there is no milk given.
ChaCha you must be spending hours planning your menu or else have a very adaptible family to be able to cook what will work for baby! I think DH might get fed up of sweet potato EVERY day... 
I do admire you for that - let us know if it works or not! Also would be interested in what you do abt car seat cos we have a Seat Alhambra which is the same as ford galaxy but without the gadgets
Rodeo and Diege - LOL at explaining to your DH and DP about the socks - so glad it wasn't me! I'm normally explaining about books I bought!
Brownie - Caleb just got back to his usual happy self yesterday. It's funny because the first three days of it he was still happy but then for a week he was grumpy, and now he's happy again. I'd almost forgotten what it was like - but he's like a ray of sunshine - sometimes I just look at him and smile and he gives me a big grin 
I do still hear a bit of funny breathing though. Hope that gets better, and he still coughs a bit. Did you introduce broccoli and parsnip on their own? Haven't tried them yet but they're frozen and ready to go - just not sure whether to mix them with something or do on their own.
Yesterday we had a first - I was watching Caeb on his tummy in the playpen playing with some stacking cups ( he loves them) and he wanted one he couldn't reach, so he lifted his bottom up and went forward a whole 15cm (I'm guessing) to get it! Now we just need to figure out how to get himto do it again!
GG - how old is Sean again - are you sure you're not making him up!!! Mind you a friend ofmine said her son stood up in the crib at 6mths 
Is there anywhere online that you can find out which car seats fit in your car or do you have to take them out and try them?
Golden - congrats on weight loss!!!!! - pass some of that slimming magic over here please - I've only lost 6 lb in the last 3 months 
ChaCha - that's great abt working from home! What are you going to be doing?
Karma - hope you feel better soon - oh hey - clios are OK - that's what I've got!!!
Beks - that's cool that Thomas is sitting up unaided! Caleb doesn't like lying flat anymore cos its too fun sitting up and being on his tummy. Today I was trying to change him in Mothercare and he kept rolling over mid change and licking the changing mat and as soon as I rolled him back he rolled over again!!! And I couldn't hold him down! So in the end I was standing there putting his clothes back on with him on his tummy!
ChaCha - I'm noy sure starving ever works to lose weight - cos it makes your body want more so you end up binging. But you never know! On curly toes - my parents have cine film of me walking with my baby walker on tiptoes - so i think its normal. Caleb often has curled feet too.
Oh GG that must be awful with Sean falling over. Also having to get a new car!
brownie - don't kno abt weetabix, but Caleb def prferes his porridge warm.
Phew - mammoth post trying to reply to everyone!
