morning all

green - talk to the paed or child nurse for any more advice - sounds like you're doing all the usual stuff to get things moving - so you might need a bit more help for your little man

yay on the sleep Grub - fantastic! those long sleeps are bliss (can't wait to get back to them - if i haven't said it before - wonder weeks and teething SUCK! lol)

PF - hope you had a great mothers day. DH asked me on friday night what he could get me for my birthday and mothers day this year. first birthday as a mummy (and my 30th!), first mothers day as a mummy - big weekend for him to think about! lol i was mean and told him i want him to work it out! we're not in a position to spend big money so he has to work out something special rather than something grand kwim? for his first fathers day i put E in a little suit that says "daddy is my hero" and made him a photo book with a special message from E. i made two copies so one could stay home and one go away to work in the truck with him - then he got fires 2 weeks later. grrrr

well, not a lot happening here. E is teething and has a few misery guts moments - but thankfully they're not that common. when they do happen though, they are massive meltdowns. she is unsettled at night - i think partially from pain, partially as she is going through some major developmental leaps at the moment. she rolls in her sleep and instead of going back into a deeper sleep, she wakes herself up thinking she has to try and stand up! she has learnt to stand using the furniture thsi week and has started cruising - quite proud of herself! i had all these plans to baby proof the house more over the weekend but went to melb to see friends on saturday (was a bb meet that got cancelled so i just met a few of the girls i already knew), rang to tell DH was on my way home and he told me we were going out that night. no drama. yesterday, we slept in (yay! she went back to sleep til 9.30!), then got up and did hte breakfast thing. DH went to mow the lawn while E napped and i did some washing - he came in to tell me we were going out after lunch. to same friend we'd been to see the night before! good weather turns the boys into social butterflies! E is a real social kidlet though and loves it, so that helps....

best away - need to make myself a cuppa before she decides to join me for the day. it's rather chilly in the mornings here but beautiful in the arvo and evening!
