pert let me know if you find a good xylophone, DP has been looking for one for DS with no luck so far.

Steak I thought babies' growth slowed down around this age anyway? If you're happy with Izz's development and appetite, don't drive yourself mad. What is this doctor going to do, install nannycam so they can check you're conforming to their directives?

Baby play tip: Just discovered that putting toys in a paper bag increases their fun value by 100% than just handing them straight over.

Lentils are 48 per cent protein. Any nonesense from dh and goodbye steaknife hello lentil spoon. Buckets good tip. I often just give iz her toy sack to pull out what she wants. V good at the end of the afternoon as it keeps her quiet for ages. Right off to weigh my breasts. Turkey breasts that is.

Oh yes, DS loves emptying his toy bag. I saw a good tip earlier today on Babycentre, from someone who has made a fake handbag with old mobile phone, redundant set of keys etc. for her baby to empty. What a great idea.

Something funny DS does that I keep forgetting to mention is if you hold up one of our big lounging pillows, he puts his head down and shoves against it like a little bull usually going blarrrrrrgggghhhhh.

He's also mastered open-mouth baby snogs Dribbly!

pert 21st july fab. xylophone a great idea, we're thinking a glockenspiel

TwilightSurfer · 25/06/2009 19:16

ALBS a Moby is a SUPER gift. I LOVE both of mine and still use them. Everyone who sees it asked what it is and where to get it. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT

Sazzles {{{hugs}}} I've not abandon the Hot Mamas. I've just slipped into lurker mode because ya'll are doing so dang well. A very focused group is over there these days. All I do is eat and eat and eat...not much of a good example really. I'm waiting for the new thread with great anticipation.

Having a down shift in mood this week. DD1 has turned back into a holy terror. Reese has been clingy. My dad had me a little worried. To top it all off we leave tomorrow to travel to Bristol for the weekend. I'm excited to be with my family but this will be the first without my grandmother.

Reese just woke. Must scurry. Love to all.

Cyteen - too cute. If i sit on the floor with my legs bent iz snuzzles underneath. No baby snogs but she can bite your nose.

hotterpotter · 25/06/2009 19:32

Hello all

Haven't abandoned you, just finding it hard to find time to post now I am back at work. Can't really sneak on when I'm there, as my screen is massive and everyone can see what you're doing

Glad to hear some sort of peace is going on chez Steaky, we do worry about you being so far away [mother hen]

cyteen thanks for the reminder about savings accounts I will get that done next week

Red I am about new kitchen extension and nearby beach. Oh did I mention I was This house could really do with a big extension toputallourcrapin but as we're hoping to move next year there's not much point.

Have been wasting wisely spending some of all your tax pennies today attending a diversity co-ordinator meeting () in Birmingham. Honestly, I am slightly boggling after it, but was very restrained at the buffet Only 24 hours to wine o'clock too, boy that comes round fast

DC bed time now...

hotterpotter · 25/06/2009 21:17

Eek, was it something I said????

Miamla · 25/06/2009 21:24

Miamla · 25/06/2009 21:27

sorry to hear that you're tired too VG - am sitting up watching the season finale of Greys anatomy when I KNOW I should either be preparing for tomorrow or sleeping - not a hope I'll be doing any of the races - am built for comfort not speed

was my friends reading tonight at the Dundee book festival and was very sad to have missed it - she gave me an insight this afternoon when I was over visiting her which was nice

Ikea used to have a very nice turquoise push cart with blocks, will have a nose and see if they still do

am not sure if we'll get Dylan anything she won't notice, we'll have cake and a song and thats it

TwilightSurfer · 25/06/2009 23:14

Just keep US New Current and Correct
Farrah Fawcett passed away today.
Michael Jackson is still alive.

VG sadly db is still not speaking to me and I've heard from my father he will not be attending the reunion. His loss. Thanks for the well wishes though. {{{hugs}}}} You're such a sweet friend.

DD1 has been horrible horrible horrible all day long. I want to cry, leave and never return. This "phase" she is in is not pretty and I feel for others dealing with similar issues.

TwilightSurfer · 25/06/2009 23:16

On the news thing...Farrah we will all dearly miss. Jackson....well I'm just glad his holding out so as not to tarnish Farrah's day.

TwilightSurfer · 25/06/2009 23:18

Dizzy you will need a box of tissue. That Greys episode is a tear jerker. I'll give nothing else away.

dizzydixies · 25/06/2009 23:26

Farrah I knew about, whats going on with Mikey?

dizzydixies · 25/06/2009 23:27

cardiac arrest & coma? god, its the kids I feel sorry for

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 25/06/2009 23:36

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 25/06/2009 23:39

No worries if you too tired tonight.
