Hi Ladies. Been MIA for a few days but had a fairly busy weekend with REALLY bad sleep! Little girl has been waking up pretty much every two hours for the last few nights and I must say I have forgotten allready how tired that makes you. I think she must be going through a physical growth spurt, hopefully won't last too long! I am rejoicing at the moment because Hazel is asleep in her swing and is on to her second sleep cycle after a tiny grizzle. Yay. Hope this happens every day, I've made dinner and DH's lunch for tommorrow and now actually have half an hour (or more hopefully) to myself!

Jen- that's amazing news!!!! I bet you never imagined it would happen pre-Beau but these little people sure change your life. I am so so pleased for you and can't wait to 'chat' more often!

Kel- that is also great news about you definately being able to stay home! And cool that you can join the gym- I am so glad I did it not just to get a bit fitter but to get me out of the house and give my day some structure. Lucky you getting spoiled by your DH!! Lily's sleeps sound fabulous and you seem like a very happy girl at the mo!

Deb- I'm so glad you had a great holiday- I will check out your blogs when I get a chance- I love hearing about people's adventures. Re. the solids opinions. I think as in most things all babies are different and it's best to follow their lead and they will tell us when they're ready. A friend of mine in the UK has just started introducing solids to her 5 and a half month old because her DD was absolutley desperate to get her hands on food and had decided she didn't want booby any more (which kind of broke my friend's heart). I would see what you HCN says and play it by ear from there!

Erin- so glad you made it home safe and sound but boo to being sick and boo to bad weather! I hope you had a good time anyway and it sounds like Charlie was a wonder. Hope you got a lovely nigh's sleep last night

Kris- Sounds like you've been busy! Hope Dylan's sleep settles down, they just keep you guessing don't they! Will you take Dylan to proper swimming lessons or just with you?

Ok- that's Hazel shouting out for me- doing her 'I am awake come and get me' shout- so cute. So I'd better go and fetch her. Lots of love all x
