Hi Green,

Great to hear you are getting more sleep. About Linc having problems with his bowel movements. How long has last done it? Formula can really change a baby's habits. Formula fed babies could go for days without passing anything. Lyla is formula fed and don't normally pass anything for 3-4 days without being constipated at all. However, if Linc is having problems, first thing you must try is water and lots of it. Give him 10-20 mls every hour or. Good luck. You are doing a wonderful job by the way.

BW - how is Sam? How are you holding up? I was very heart broken when I first returned to work but it gets easier each day and I always look forward to seeing my LO at the end of work.

Kelly, yes, I wasn't prepared to buy walking shoes for Lyla until she is over 12 months but had to order proper shoes the other day. She found it strange with the shoes and prefers to sit, pull her feet to her face and mouth the shoes instead but is loving every chance she gets to practice walking and climbing though. I believe Tara would probably be the same because she is doing what Lyla was at the age. so be prepared my dear friend. I see in your sig that you are planning for #2 in Jan 2011. We are planning that for late 2010 or early 2011 so never no we might be having our second one at the same time and be belly buddies.

BG - how is Miss E, any new words or should I ask whether she is giving you sentences? Lyla clapped her hands today... I think. I picked her up from Family Day Care and she suddenly clapped her hands. She doesn't do it on command though so can't say that she understood "clap your hands".

Murph - I know Queensland is under flood at present, are you affected by it in anyway. Thinking of you anyway.

Grub - how are you doing? Ash's is so cool

Saph - take care of yourself hun.

To everyone else, hope you have a peaceful and relaxing weekend.
