I was hoping to keep C rearward facing until the 12kgs the seat would take, but he had other plans. I think if he'd never sat facing forward (in my mum's car) I would have waited, but now he's facing forward, I admit I really do like it, as does he!

C also has no teeth but both bottom and top gums are swollen. Don't know if it has to do with the throat infection, but his bottom gums, you can clearly see the impression of his two teeth, and littel nubs on the gums where it looks like the start of teeth. But whether they break through anytime soon is anyone's guess!

Also have a MCHN visit due on Monday. I think he was going great guns with weight gain, but he lost a noticeable amount of weight with being sick the last few days and going off solids for nearly 3 days. He's started back on solids but it's slow going. I expect a small gain this month, if any.

Abs, sooo with you on the lack of sleep. Hell, I figure we can sleep when they're teenagers!
