All quiet here. Lila's still waking early to come to our bed but I'm ok with it. She's also been a little day fussy which is weird for her but I think its the chilly weather. Ikeep her rugged up but still... The house is pretty cold.

Leyla- good to see you back.I think thingd like sleep patterns are mostly a matter of luck that we have little control over. You can do it all "right" and they still get up. With my three older brothers my mother got up with them every other hour til about 14 months. I'm with the others on waiting to do solids. They're just too little, their stomachs aren't fully ready yet.

Mgm- Congrats on the day nap! That's so great, gives yo a little time without which is nice. Can't get Lila to nap to save my life....

Janine- Hope things are getting a little better with CI and you can find some sanity. I know you probably don't like the idea, but have you taken him to the dr? You never know, he could take one look at CI and say "Oh that's such and such, do this and it will help." Unlikely, but possible..?

Nettie- I was reading that exclusively fed babies between 4-6 months burn about 500 calories. When I used to work out every day that's how much I'd burn doing an hour and 20 minutes of cardio. Of course, I'm not getting the same heart work out as if I was on a machine but there you go. I wish my knees weren't so rubbish, it would be lovely and easy to go for morning runs. Oh well.

Beatrix- How's MJ doing, and how are you holding up??

Sarah- I hope your AF makes an appearance. Oh man. I had a little of that the other day, I stopped and thought "Oh god I haven't had one in a while" but she showed up the next day. Whew. Just don't know if I trust the mini-pill, you know? In fact, after getting pg accidentally I am pretty suss about all birth control.

No 7pm bedtimes, hah. I'm not going to work against her natural body clock though. If she goes to sleep at 11 and gets up at 9 til she's in school thats ok. I never understood why it is inherently wrong to keep a later schedule. Mum acts like its some scandalous thing.

No rolling, not really. If she's on a slight incline she can. Just heaps of wriggling. Wriggling everywhere. Constantly. Girl wants to GO...

Hello to anyone I've missed.
