Well the sleeping unwrapped was a one off as it turns out...well..in general sleep is rare at the moment.

He's taken to waking up after one sleep cycle and just talking like crazy and really really struggling to get to sleep again.
The middle of the night its happening too, he can wake up, and be WIDE awake, sometimes I can re-settle him with a bottle, but other times, I just have to sit with him and not talk etc and hope he gets bored! Then I can plop him in bed and he'll drop off, but he can be awake for 3 hours...whilst i'm not sleep deprived, I worry that he'll get that way!!
Great news about the slide Sharon...we have the little one I got off of ebay....god I love ebay!!!
