Shell,

Charlie just got measured and weighed and he's lighter but longer than Holly! Lol! DW=9.66kgs and L=76cm. He started taking cows milk from a bottle about a week ago and now goes through just over 500mls a day over 3 bottles. I think he may have dropped some weight in the first week after I stopped BFing him and he wasn't taking anything else, but is now putting it back on.

Nic, I'm sure it was a little disconcerting to hear about how sick Nixon really was those first few days, and while it was wierd that no one told you this at the time, I suppose it's also good that you were told at a time where you've already seen Nixon hit his milestones, and therefore know he's alright. It's a shame you missed the Dr and the nurse you wanted to see though.

Abs, great photos! It looked like a great occasion! Look at all the lovely blonde hair Jordy has too! We don't have stairs in our house, but my MIL does, and Charlie has been climbing up those too. Not down though, like Jordy, he doesn't know how yet.

Charlie still looks a while away from walking. He will walk if his hands are held, but doesn't have the balance yet to stand on his own for very long. In the meantime, everytime I look in his mouth, he seems to have more teeth coming! He's also been super clingy lately and it's driving me batty. He wants to be carried all the time. My DH wants me to 'stop spoiling him' and let him have his little tanty when I refuse to pick him up. I think I may have to, coz my back is killing me having to lug him round with me everywhere!

And, lastly, we're off to Sinagpore for my brother's wedding on Tuesday next week, so I expect all the sleeping through he's been doing is going to get interrupted by the midnight flights and it'll be a while before I get a good night's sleep again!
