Felius - thanks for letting us know about Zola. I hope she is feeling better soon. Gosh Bas is cuuuuute! Love the pics.

Sarah - urrgh @ the lack of sleep. I hope putting him in his cot will work. I am sure he will be fine. After a couple of nights, you will start to feel more comfortable.

Nell - good to hear that Matty is feeling better. I hope his cough goes away soon. I agree with you about counter meals. Can't go past a good parmi!

Bec - sorry to hear you have been having a rough time in the sleep department too. They are clever little munchkins, aren't they?

Scarlett - wow @ Emily trying to crawl. She is getting soooo big now! I guess it is just the beginning of her getting into things, hey?

We have had a busy weekend. I looked after our friend's 2.5 year old yesterday while she took his older brother and sister to the movies. He was sooooooo good. It was really easy! Neil and I took he and Gabby grocery shopping (practice dealing with a toddler and a baby). Then we had a 1st birthday to go to which was really good. Everyone had a hold of Gabby and she had a wonderful time. Today I have to host a candle party so I have been madly cleaning my pig-sty of a house. Neil is meant to be helping me but he is hung over in bed. Gabby is sooking in her cradle so I am listening to see if he gets up to her. Hmm... doesn't sound good!
Oh... I figured out what to do when she won't feed. I squirt some milk in her mouth, LOL. Works a treat! She forgets what she is grumpy about and sucks like crazy.

Ok... better go get Gab. Then wake Neil up with the vacuum!! Muhahahahaha!!
