Wow, Nell, sitting already! Have you spent a lot of time working on sitting because of his reflux? I always find it amazing how babies achieve all these 'milestones' at such different times and different orders.

Cass, I agree with Nell about leaving Oscar in his own bed. It sounds like you have already made that decision yourself anyway.

We have had an interesting week. Thursday night Byron woke up with a fever. He was really hot and miserable all day Friday and wouldn't eat anything (which is really not like him!). He was a bit better Sat, and then fine Sunday. The rest of us seem to have missed out thankfully.
My parents arrived from Cairns on Monday and on Tuesday the boys and I went down to Byron Bay with them. My brother lives down there. We were only going to stay 1 night but the dust storm hit on Wednesday and I decided not to drive back in such crappy conditions, so we just got back this afternoon. Edward was just delightful as always, but Byron is absolutely shattered... he doesn't sleep very well away from home... and is being a horrible little monster. Hopefully he will sleep for about 12 hours tonight so he is happier tomorrow!
Dad goes home tomorrow, but mum is here until Monday so the kids have a bit more grandparent time... and Clive and I might get some kid free time.

I think the dust must have been much worse down there as there isn't nearly as much dust on everything here at home as there is on my car. I agree Cass, it was horrible! I can only imaging how bad it would have been if you had breathing problems of any sort.

Anyway, need to get dinner on so I can get Byron to bed early, better go. Hope everyone is well.
