Nice wine is always good, mmk!

Awwwwww, just went and "spied" through the living room door and my two gorgeous older girlies are sat on the futon, chatting to each other whilst "breast feeding" a rather over-sized toy hippo and a frog hot water bottle cover respectively!

Afternoon, have I said that already today

Have tried a bit of blw with the dt's again today, Z is not very good he doesn't pick anything up, i have to hold it in his mouth till he cries.
L was good she had a good old suck on some bit's, she didn't swallow any as it kept popping out of her mouth and landing on the flooor, but she will get the hang of it soon.

kneehighinnappies · 19/09/2007 15:39

LOL @ your dd's cd

CaptainDippy · 19/09/2007 15:39

She will indeed, bless 'em. [wink P had a few cake crumbs in the cafe today.

I think thats the idea really khin, if their tummys arent ready for it they wont swallow it they'll just suck. By the time they learn to move food to the back of their mouth and swallow it their tummys will have developed enough to digest it properly. Same with small bits of food, by the time they've developed the fine motor skills to pick up a small bit of food their eating skills will have developed enough for them to be able to chew it and swallow it without choking!
Its just all so clever!

Bf group was fine, hardly anyone there but it ha only just started. Got some good advice from a couple of midwives they had there who think I'm doing the right thing wrt holding off solids and top up bottles.

Dishwasher is now leaking seems dp didnt do such a great job after all but it should be easily fixed.

Peshasofeight · 19/09/2007 15:49

Thats has only just started as in the group has only been going a couple of weeks!

Peshasofeight · 19/09/2007 15:50

Or summat like that

CaptainDippy · 19/09/2007 15:53

Ok then Pesha!! Glad you felt reassured by the BF Group hon.

weeonion · 19/09/2007 16:02

back from swimming - i thought it as meant to knacker the babies - alas not the c. she is currently rolling around her cot. not a nap since 7am......
sunny afternoon here - off for a dander with the c - hoing she'll drop off for a kip!

Peshasofeight · 19/09/2007 16:12

Its National (or international?) Talk Like A Pirate Day BTW - I'm not just being weird!

Idreamofchocolate · 19/09/2007 16:15

Pesha - never heard of national talk like a pirate day! Are you sure someone's not winding you up?

DH's birthday today, have been out for lunch/walk and he's gone to collect Em from school. Have cake & candles all prepared for when he gets back, then we have friends over for a takeaway Thai meal tonight (oh the high life!).

Just wondering how early we are allowed to start getting drunk. Should we wait until the DDs are in bed, or will tea-time do?

Peshasofeight · 19/09/2007 16:20

International Talk Like A Pirate Day

IDOC - teatime sounds abit right to me!

bumble75 · 19/09/2007 16:27

Afternoon everyone,

As I've just caught up I'm assuming L will wake up any second so I'll try and be quick!

WO, L didn't sleep after swimming either, I was hoping for some marathon naps to no avail...

Luce & Liath, next Wednesday would be good for me, we go to yoga in the morning but are done by midday & are not far from the Gyle.

Happy anniversary SOL for yesterday!

Am very of those back to pre-pregnant weight. I bought some scales yesterday so I could see how much I've been deluding myself that I'm still losing weight... about a stone to lose to be pre-preg and another one to where I'd like to be... seems to have done the trick so far - haven't been on a locust-like rampage through the biscuits... when L wakes up I need to go to Tesco to get something for dinner, I'm dreading chocolate falling into my trolley .

Can't believe L not awake yet, normally she wakes up as soon as I click 'Add message'

Oh - that CV one sounds awful! Haven't come across her before... not cuddle a baby - is she mad?????????

bumble75 · 19/09/2007 16:30

IDCO - hope you have a lovely celebration for your dh tonight. Surely it's never too early to start drinking?

Vio · 19/09/2007 17:23
