SammyRo: anytime I get her into a routine within a week DD's got other ideas. At least I can't get bored because she keeps me active! I've never responded to the "making a rod for your own back" comments regarding her lack of routine because I really don't mind! I sleep when I'm tired and such so why should she be different?

mustangsachy: DD seemed to have one day sleep for 2 weeks then swapped again. Some days she has been exploring extra. Recently I've seen a lot more cognitive work. I mean she really stays still and studies a perticular toy/object/action for ages and it does seem to wear her out. Today she was trying to load the washing machine and put it on. Was quite trippy to watch. Even DP commented that she seems to be mimicking actions right now and it's amazing to see her face light up with the "OH I GOT IT!" when she does something new. I also caught her climbing which is a new thing.

Thanks for the replies. Glad to feel that DD's not the only one out of whack
