Lollip0p, a MIL thing makes much more sense - not that it makes it any easier to deal with - perhaps insecurities about how she raised your OH then?!
We've gone with spoon fed purees, same as C. The odd thing on the highchair table to pick up and slobber over

Danielle, yay for a routine that works! Even if your OH isn't pulling his weight yet - hopefully when he sees how effective it is he'll stick with it
Melissa, we're just waiting for B to get from her belly to sitting now - getting close I think! Charlotte was never a crawler (sat on her bum til 10 months, then wallked) so we're seeing this all for the first time - Bridget is now quite proficient at going backwards, and like I said, nearly got herself up over her legs to sitting today

She's much more agile and mobile in the buff than clothed though, so it tends to be just before bathtime...
Bridget has her too bottom teeth too Danielle

Just been to SW, managed somehow to lose 1lb!! So it's taken me a month to lose a pound, but after the indulgent weekend I had, I'm totally made up! Also found a babysitter

as normally my folks do it, but it's a family do we're going to, so they'll be there too!
