They are ALL the same!

So I didn't blog about this, and now I'm really glad I didn't.
I met an amazing man called Evan. He's in his twenties so there's a bit of an age gap between us, but that's the way I like it because I'm more mature than most eighteen year olds. So anyway things were really great with him, he was so amazing and we hit it off immediately. We'd go out and just talk for hours while James wanted to spend time with Lilia.
I really liked him and I could see us going places. We had a really romantic evening and I was looking forward to being his girlfriend and introducing him to Lilia after a couple of weeks.. But then I went on his Facebook. I realised that he was doing the same as he was with me to about three-five other girls. How did I know? They were all writing on his wall and thanking him for a wonderful evening, etc.
I feel like such an idiot for letting myself fall for him so quick. No one will ever replace James, but we're never getting back together. I saw Evan as my opportunity to move on. But obviously it wasn't meant to be.
He had no intention on being with me. He was just using me. Why do guys think that if they talk sweet to a girl and not rush into bed with them, they'll be smitten and then they can wrap us around their little fingers?! Because it's true. That's why.

SIGHHH...

Children in Need.

So, as you might have guessed from my last post, I support children in need. I am watching it and literally crying my eyes out. I honestly think I'm going to run out of tears before long if I don't drink a glass of water or something! I'd die if anything like any of the stories from children in need would happen to my gorgeous little Lilia. Or even any of my future children - if I have any.
Anyways, I've heard rumours that Terry Wogan insists that people pay him to present children in need? Does anyone know if this is actually true? Because if it is I am truely disgusted. Another point I'd like to raise is.. Does the money actually go to all these charities it claims to then? Like, all of it. Because a charity they were meant to send a donation to last year didn't receive much apparently. So I'm wondering if they don't donate much to each charity.. WHERE DOES IT GO? Hmm.
 Quite a sensitive topic but I was just curious.

Lilia supports Children In Need...

Do you?

Lilia's new development.

Lilia just seemed to start doing/trying to do things out of nowhere! She is such a clever girl now and she really is developing well.
She is very very nearly rolling over! When I was going to update you guys on November 4th, she could get onto her side and she'd attempt to push herself over but it wouldn't work. Now she is pushing herself over and almost completely on her tummy! She just gets her arm trapped, once she figures out how to move it she'll be rolling! So exciting yet so scary at the same time.
Lilia has found her hands and she is now trying to grab things which catch her eye. She likes to hold her hands up and inspect them, learning that it's she who controls them :) She is also learning hand eye co-ordination, and is starting to grab things. She likes to grab 'Birdie', the bird on her bouncer, and pretty much anything else you hold in front of her. Sometimes she gets it straight away and sometimes it takes her a while, but she still manages it! She also has a habit of pulling her dummy out of her mouth and holding it to chew a different side (teething a little, we think), the monkey!
She has also found her toes and whenever I lay her flat on her back somewhere, ie changing mat, she lifts her legs up and grabs her feet to play with them. Cutest thing ever. She gets annoyed at me when I take them out of her hands to do her bum or kiss her toes, ha ha, but they're my toes too! I made them! :P
I also put Lilia in front of a long mirror I have in my room the other day, she loved looking at herself and giggled for ages. So she definitely likes mirrors!

Flavours!

So Lilia started on flavours earlier than I wanted her to. She would make herself sick when eating baby rice because it's so bland. So I thought I'd better give her some flavours so that she actually keeps some of the food down. She's only had fruity porridge (orange, apple and banana in one), banana porridge, and rusk, but it's still flavour! She'll be having puréed vegetables before long! Probably starting next week I'll be building up the amount in her feeds and starting her on more flavours.
Today she started having three feeds a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner. For breakfast she has banana porridge, lunch she has fruity porridge, and dinner she has half a rusk. (I put two heaped spoonfuls of powder when making the porridge up.) She's only having porridge twice because that's all I have her at the minute, but either tomorrow or some time near the end of this week/beginning of next week I'll be cooking vegetables and blending them with a bit of baby rice for her :)
Anyway the reason it took me so long to write this post is because I wanted to upload my photos before writing so that I could include a photo of Lilia having flavours. The photo was taking like the day she started having porridge so it's a week old, but it's cute :) So here that photo is ..

Can you tell she liked it? (:

Updates..

I have a few posts I want to write on my blog, I just haven't had a chance yet. I'm busy all weekend so I'll have to do them Monday or whenever I upload the pictures from my camera to my laptop. So I'm just doing a list of what I want to post as a reminder to myself-

Flavours
Two feeds.
Lilia's new development - very nearly rolling over, found her hands, found toes, likes to try and grab birdie.

Obviously I will add more details later, I'm just in the middle of tidying right now and have a very busy schedule! haha.
