Hi everyone
Thurs night was a bit better with only about 5 wake ups. Then yesterday we had needles & last night he was fantastic....not sure if it was the needles, I really hope he's like that again tonight. A quick cry out at 9pm, then not up til 2am for a feed & then sleep til 7am!!!! YAY. Funny how one night can make you feel so refreshed.


Greenfern we are in Newman, WA.... a mining town in the middle of nowhere!! as everyone up here works shift work it's hard to get teams for things such as basketball & so on. So the teams are mixed, that scares me a little as the guys are a bit rough & I'm not a very big person LOL should be fun, can't wait til it starts.

Kellie, think I'm going to bite the bullet & buy a gro bag - can't find anything as good on the net & yes it so very hot up here. Come Nov/Dec we are lucky if it gets below 27 at night!!! If I was at all good with a sewing machine I would make my own, but think I'd rather spend the $70 he,he.

Jen I'm not sure where I'll be getting the jolly jumper from, will look through my magazines - seen a few in there. I haven't really checked the age req on them, but my cousin had her DS in one at about 6months & he loved it. I just realised there's a Shop4 Kids mag too, that's heaps better than the baby one & has just as much baby stuff in it. In regards to feed & settle this is the one thing I feel I've actually mastered with Charlie. He's used to being fed to sleep, so I always offer a top up before a nap or bed at night, I simply feed, burp & bit of a cuddle & pop him in bed wide awake. In the day he has music, at night it's a bath first. If he cry's a bit I pop the dummy in, if he crys out heaps & won't settle I just get him up & try again a bit later. I'm not for the controlled crying, not until he's a bit older anyway. So it doesn't take us long at all. I think I read somewhere that about this age they should be able to last 2hrs before needing a nap - thats about how long Charlie will last....though often it's about 3hrs before the arvo nap as we are usually out & about.

Ok better go, someone just woke up from his nap. Here's to hoping we have a good sleep again tonight.
