hi girls

and welcome to melbee and eliana - yup time flies with these little ones.

kellee - you off to the next forum soon - 9mths wow - lani will hit 8mths on sunday and that is to old lol. cheeky little charlie playing hide and seek amongst the clothes - the bell thing is great i love it and i think she does to.

michelle - you sound busy as you would with 4, glad you like the new lounge sounds very comfy. i am dreading when my 2 get older and we have the issues of cleaning there rooms - i already seem to be picking up after jay all the time although we have a rumpus room and i must credit that he doesn't seem to bring much stuff out of there and generally leaves everything in the one room - our home is open plan so i can see the rumpus room from anywhere usually the kitchen cause thats were i always seem to be.

dach = hopefully yasin will get the idea soon - it is really hard listening to them cry - if lani is crawling around but tired and i walk out of her sight she goes crazy until i come back and pick her up but i take my time and not rush - quite often she forgets why she was crying and goes looking for something to investigate.

re: the cutting out of rollovers, i have a few ideas

#1: gradually over a few days give her the rollover 1/2hr earlier until i get back to original bed time of 7pm

#2: offer less bottle (she only has 150ml as is) but was thinking of doing less each night until none.

#3: offer 1/2 water 1/2 milk till all water.

#4: offer water only

#5: grin and bear it or stop alltogether and hope she sleeps through lol

not sure what i will do yet - any suggestions? am going to health centre on monday for her 8mth check so will get the crazy echn opinion as well.

well i guess i should be getting dinner prepared - looks like spag bog tonight nice and easy - then there is making of bottles and general tidy up before dh comes home and sees me sitting at comp all day lol.

have a good night
