Well, have had a huge row with mum so we are not speaking. I never row with mum so feel really but also really

Wilks about your row with mum but agree leave him with mil but most of all enjoy the night .

Eah tell me more about the outfits you purchased.

Lauren has her 4 month review tomorrow has anyone else had one ?

Lizz lauren always has a 6 oz bottle at

8am, 12am + baby rice , 4pm , 8pm however as I am not giving her a bottle throught the night I am going to try a dreamfeed at 10 pm and probably knock the 8pm bottle back to 7pm.

I bought them a white top that has a pink shrug attached to it, shrug gas pretty flowers embroidered onto it, also got them some cropped trousers in the same shade pink as the shrug. My mum has bought them red and white gingham summer dresses that hae a white hem on the bottom very cute and they came with matching bandanas although neither e or h seem keen on on the headwear. Also got white cardigan for ellie and pistachio green one for Hattie

Wilkie. I don't know if it's the same with you, but I find parents and IL's just don't quite get the whole needs-of-my-baby-come-above-everything-else-and-that-means-everything-including-what-you-see-as-your-grandparental-"rights". (that may also be why mil took ds1 and despite dh and me being vveeeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy sllllllllloooooowwwww while explaining on phone that we're having sleep probs and ds1 has to be back by nap time, she didn't bring him home until after 3.30. She said "oh, but he was running around like a mad-ie, lots of energy, didn't seem tired". Uh yeah, that's cos he's mind-bogglingly overtired )

Your baby comes first, not your mum, sister or her twins. Hope you're feeling ok this evening x

Yikes. Whart happened there?!

Hello all. Just in the middle of watching a film but dh had to pop out for 5 mins so a quick catch up. He's booked a day off tommorrow so I'm looking forward to that Had a lovely picnic on Sat and a great time in the garden with the kids today. Spent most of yesterday out so decided on a quieter day today. Morgan has been going great with his potty training, only 1 accident today and none yesterday even though we were out so much, he kept saying whenever he needed the toilet. So glad it's working this time.

Ethan is well and so is Caitlin. Ethan grabbed a piece of my roll earlier while we were having lunch and tried to get it into his mouth but ended up dropping it hehe, I wouldn't let im eat it but was curious if he'd be able to. Confirmed for me that we'll be going with BLW though as it seems so right for us as he'll actually be able to eat the food for himself so we'll know he really needs/wants it. Looking forward to it in 10 weeks time Long way off yet and even longer for dairy, wheat etc as we have allerigies in the family and am taking no risks at all.

It's a lovely evening here and we have the patio doors open, really bright and sunny.

Think we'll take Ethan to get weighed again tomorrow to see if there's any advance on the 16lb 4 he was 2 weeks ago hehe. New pics on profile too, can't remember if I already said that or not though.

Welcome back Wilkie, but about your arguement with mum. I hate arguing with my mum. Almost did last night as after spending the day with my dsis and dbil, I was talking to her about the fact that the baby which they lost was due last thursday and her mil had sent her a plant and it had made her cry. Then my mum said that she hadnt rung her as she thought that they had mourned for that baby enough! I thought it was really heartless, esp as it has never happened to her so how does she know how you deal with it!

Had a lovely day at dsis's though. We had a bbq and Luke really enjoyed himself playing with their dog. dbil was teaching him how to say 'SIT' and he wouldnt stop saying it to her. Think the dog was like 'god, do I have to sit again!' He also ate his own body weight weight in meat, but would not touch the salad! Def his father's son!!

Today we didnt do much. Just some stuff in the garden. Very boring. Off to order the climbing frame now.

Sorry about the hayfever Lizz.

Glad you had a nice night/day EAH

Another gorgeous pic LTH! Hope ds1 had a good bday.

UD Hope you found a car. We have a ford escort on our drive where the timing belt has gone. Stupid thing has been there for a year now and DH has done nothing about getting rid of it

2happy, hope you had a better night alst night.

Glad the potty training is goeing well Jodie and more gorgeous pics! Must take some more of Ruth. We have loads of them for Luke but poor neglected Ruth!
