Hello everyone

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Melissa, glad to hear you had a good day.

Jen we bought some bumpers before Charlie was born not realising you are not supposed to use them, made me mad when I found out as I thought then why do they sell them!! Oh well. Anywho, Charlie moves around the cot so much he was getting legs stuck during day sleeps so I just invested in another sleeping bag & use it during the day too. That way he can't get his legs stuck. It obviously doesn't bother him if he hits the side as he's all over the cot. I didn't want to use the bumpers as he moves around sooo much I worry he would move to the side & bury his head. Also they tie onto the cot with a bit of ribbon, Charlie plays with anything he can find so i would be he would just play with the ribbon & not sleep. I have a giggle when I check on him before I go to be as he is usually sideways, or right up one end. I will not be wrapping bubs no2 when that day comes that's for sure!!!

Charlie cries out if he ends up on his tummy, so not something I've had to really stress about. I enrolled him in Swimming lessons today, but the silly lady running it had her kids 30yrs ago & don't think she remembers what it's like to have a bubs, as she wants them to be around 3pm in the arvo...ahhhh!!! Charlies arvo nap time & then he'll be stuffed when he gets home, want to sleep & be up late at night. If they were in the morn it would mean he would have a great day sleep.

Kristie we bought Charlie a ball pit, I got it on Ebay. It's an inflatable Fire Truck...very cute & can be used as a pool too. Can't wait to get it out, but will have to wait til Chrissy. At the indoor play cafe we go to on Thursday's they have a big kids pall pit & a real little one for babies. As Charlie has started to sit up I put him in it the other day & he loved it...so will do that more often now. It's actually nice to be able to join in a bit more in the play area than just go for the coffee LOL i still love that too.

Ok, better go...house is a mess. Hi to those I've missed. Charlie still sleeping through, YAY and not being wrapped is great. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I'd un-wrapped him sooner if he would have slept through then, as he is always asleep on his side so I figure he's much more comfy. Hmmm, guess I'll never know. Although Jen if being wrapped helps him sleep better then I would prob stick with that. I reckon if he wants to more around etc then one day it will just click that arms out are better. Have you tried wrapping but not tight so he can wriggle out? or giving it to him to play with or cuddle? Just some things that I tried here....hope it all works out for you.
