Had a great time in Brissy. It is good to be home though. Well sort of. DH has been at home by himself for 3 days, and the house is an absolute mess! I don't know how he managed to make that much mess in 3 days! I am too tired today to clean, but will have to get stuck into it tomorrow.
Belinda - I know what you mean about not being able to help yourself at the toy sales! I just put $100 worth of stuff on layby at Big W. All fisher price stuff...I just love their toys. Some of the stuff I got for Hannah will be too old for her too, but they'll grow into it. I even put a fisher price walker on layby! I've just done the opposite of you, and bought a bouncer for Hannah just to give her a break from her swing! I figured it would help her exercise her little legs once she figures out how to make it bounce herself.
Hey Dee! My Mum and Dad wanted to buy something for Hannah at the toy sales, and I suggested the Kick n Whirl Carnival...so we now have one! Thanks for the tip - Hannah's entranced as I write. I like the fact that it can be converted to a toy for an older child too. I'm glad you've been getting more sleep. I can sooooo relate to the sore, leaky BBs when they sleep a little longer than unsual - it's disturbing, but it's the price we pay for sleep I guess!!
Jo - Way to go Erykah! I love baby smiles. Hannah's just melt my heart. You must be so proud! LOL @ you layby-ing stuff without telling DH!! I am the same!! I am sure he'll appreciate it when he doesn't have to fork out hundred's of $$$ at Christmas though.
Welcome Brooke and Maya! Good to hear little Maya is sleeping well for you. Fantastic at her age! Not sure when Hannah actually knew night from day, but she was having longer sleeps at night from about 2 weeks I think? Starting a routine is a great idea. We've done that with Hannah. I don't give her a bath at night though...'cos it's so cold here and we don't have good heating in the house. I just read her a bedtime story (the same one each night), then put on her sleepy music and feed her, then she goes to bed. I tried to do it at 730pm, but she was too awake and grumpy then...it's really trial and error with us. I find that 9pm is best for Hannah...
Michelle - my mother's group starts on Tuesday. Hope it goes ok.... What is yours like? I'm not game to go to the target sale - I already have stuff on layby at Big W, and I bought some stuff at kmart when I was in Brissy. It's just all too tempting!
Megan - hope I get to meet you at the next Brissy BB meet-up. Where in the disability field do you work? I worked at a variety of places in Bris before we went country. I am still on a committee in Brisbane called "Values in Action" (Affilliated with CRU, promoting SRV etc.) Glad Finlay is nearly over his cold. Hannah was smiling social smiles at 3 weeks...check out the milestones thread in the general baby thread...[/b]
