Hi!

Well I've had a full on few days...Monday night Louis threw up the whole night and last night was very unsettled. Caught a bug from the bbq we were at (half the kids got it) the poor little thing. Luckily Dylan hasn't got it at this stage! He's actually been sleeping quite well luckily - only waking a few times through Louis cries when he was sick. Last night I fed him at 9.30pm and then didn't feed him again until 6am! I think I only popped the dummy in once overnight as well. Then he went back to sleep until 8.15am! The only thing is he's up quite late...doesn't want to go to sleep at 7pm anymore...usually up to 9 or 10pm which is a bit annoying but nevermind. He actually self settled for his morning nap today which was great - he hasn't done that for a while - and had a big 1 1/2h without needed to be settled in the middle which was nice!

Anyway...

Caro - I understand where your coming from with the solids..each to they're own I say!! Wow you have a busy time coming up!
Deb - Thats true! They certainly can eat a lot! Imagine what they'll be like when they're teenagers - LOL! I've been giving Dylan a spoonful of breastmilk to see how he goes and he swallows it down no problems - screws his face up when I first put the spoon in though - LOL! Nup..no formula feeding here...I've bought a water bottle but haven't used it on him yet...

Erin - Glad you had a good time - Pity about the weather and that you're sick -hope your feeling better now! Yeah on the shopping! Thats great that you can spend chrissy with your family - sure beats being home alone if your hubby has to work so much!

Kel - Glad you got a sleep in! Yeah on being so spoilt by dh! Thats fanastic you'll be staying home as well! Oooh aren't the bubs just gorgeous at this age? (yes they're gorgeous at every age but ykwim?) They're little personalities are just starting to show! That sounds nice having a snooze with your bubba - hope she sleeps better for you tonight! Sounds like you had a great day! Yeah on the great sleep...

JenSam - Thats fantastic news!!! Wow - you're the last person I would have imagined to resign from your work but good for you!! It's amazing how these little bubbas change our lives!

Christy - Sorry to hear about the sleep issues - I know all about it! LOL! Louis has decided to wake up every hour at the moment so Dylans actually easier! Crazy! Isn't it nice when they decide to sleep longer than 45min themselves? Yep - I'll probably do proper swimming lessons next year but just take him for visits myself in a couple of months time...
Is it just nappy rash she's got?? Have you tried zinc cream?? Hopefully she gets all better soon...

Melissa - Poor Olivia with the conjuncitivitis - Hope the check up with the specialist goes/went well!! Bugger about the immunisations..I'm not looking forward to those again!

Sammy - bugger about the sleep! Wow on the holiday - thats great - he'll be fine over there I'm sure!!

Sorry if this post's all over the place - I've been adding to it all day as I read through the posts...Hope your all well - I'm off to bed!!!
