Hi ladies, hopefully can reply properly !
Ally/ the pics look beautiful, thanks for the ideas re Stirling. Ive googled it and I think I might try and book a premier inn. Id like to book one for August but we have been nagging the hospital about ds operation with it being cancelled this month and knowing our look if we book something we will get a date through for op 😣 so gonna wait a bit. He starts school in September so would like to get it done b4 if poss. The henna party sounds fun but can understand u not feeling bothered. I try and avoid anything in the evening with bedtime routines..,
Lit/ hope your trip is going ok. I think you are on it now haha.. V sounds like she is doing great, it's funny that's she is getting her little personality and a little demanding.. u may have your hands full with your two little ladies in a couple of years lol., I bet they are so close tho it will be loverly..
Id love to have a proper sister. I do have a half sister but unfortunately we have just never been close. She is my dads daughter from his second marriage but we have never really been encouraged to be close.. I blame her mother, but that's another story ha ! Won't bore u with that!
Midnight/ V sounds a little cutie. Yay for sitting up ! Ollie doesn't have any teeth yet either but I'm sure they won't be long, im constantly having to change his bib and he is chewing everything bless him. I had my first younger, then a 5 year gap, then 11 years to my ds. Now we have added ollie to the mix. I agree they definately treat u differently when older compared to when I had my first. I do like the fact tho that I had my eldest son young as we are really close now. He is like one of my mates lol.. But I'm still the bank of mum ha !!
Froggy/ you did fab with the feeding. I felt the same when I went onto formula full time. Gage is clearly thriving and coming on brilliantly. We have similar routines with the food prep. Don't know about you but I sometimes get stuck what to mix together, Id like ollie to try new flavours. Some of the jar foods are really wacky combinations. Im just boiling and blitzing loads of veg. I bought some baby gravy last week to add a bit of flavour to it. I just put in little weaning tubs in freezer and get one out in morning for teatime. I might try the ice cubes tho, never done that. Good idea.
Slammer, I was at the zoo a few days ago with ollie and ds and we were walking up this ramp going to see the monkeys and there was this mum in front of me pushing a double pram. She has a little girl about 3, really cute and a little boy about 6 months in pram looking round taking it all in. she then told the little girl off for messing with her little brother. She said " Ava .. Leave Jack alone you are winding him up,!! " really made me smile and I thought of u ha...the family reunion sounds good fun. I kind of wish we did something like that. We do have family BBQs with the closet people..Prob couple of times a year..yay for dtd with no condoms! That also made me laugh when I read it.. Really sorry jack not settling at childcare. Ds was like that for a while but he absolutely loves it now, fingers crossed he settles soon. Good he is taking the bottle a little better tho n if u have to end up supplementing a little U have still done a fab job so far and still are doing. Ds op is to remove a lipoma from his back, basically a fatty lump. But it is obvious and its in a funny position over his spine so we are a bit nervous about it but hopefully will go fine. We just really wanted it sorting before school as kids can be horrible. It's about 2 inch across and sticks out about an inch so not so obvious but would be if he did PE.
Ali/ hope work going ok 😣. N yay for T crawling !! Wow what's he like ha., ollie still not rolled haha...he was very close today though !
Vrogers/ hope the solids are going ok, they are so cute when they start on them. L sounds like a little doll .. I think with having 4 boys!! I go all broody with girls still ha .. That's def me done tho! No more for me..lol..
Sorry it's a long post just not managed to reply for ages properly , I better not lose this one 😣!
All doing ok here. Just still waiting for ollie to roll ha.. It will be big announcment when he does !!! He can't be far, he is just on his side all the time, he is sitting well now. Ds had his leaving day trip to the beach from one of his nurseries this week, he has a graduation party this Sunday for the other. He was in local paper today in his cap and gown.. Really cute ..anyway gonna go and see oh down stairs he will think ive fallen asleep ha.. Hope u r all well x
He just started to today! That we've seen anyways. He was already all over the house, now he'll just be faster once he gets a hang of it. It's too cute! A couple of days ago he was getting on his hands and knees and I was saying 2 weeks most and he'll start truly crawling.. 2 days later. 
At least I know he had a big nap before DH took the kids to daycare.
