    Horray...gave Grace three cubes of food for lunch(11am) and dinner(3pm) and she woke at 11.30 and 3.30 but only for a feed and back to sleep quite quick and then up at 6am...hope it continues this way!! but probably will be totally different tonight!!

    My friend just had a baby, we are going to see her this arvo, im so excited to see a newborn again!! i miss my little newborn, feels like i only had her for a few seconds then suddenly she was this big baby!!

    Bec - yay for Grace's good sleeping routine.... hope it continues for you!

    Kye has been sleeping fairly well. Usually is in bed by 7:30pm and sleeps through until 5:00-5:30am.

    Kye had PEACH yesterday for the first time, mixed it with some pear for brekky. He scoffed it down hehe
    I also tried him with a bit of bread this morning, just cut it into a solider and he was completely fine with it

    He's been a bit irratible the past few days so I'm suspecting his gums are annoying him.
    It looks like there is a tooth close to breaking through so we shall have to wait and see I guess!

    Quite hot here today - a friend and I got up early this morning and went and did a boot camp session, gee it was hard!!
    I forgot that my fitness aint anywhere near as good as it used to be, ahh well give me a month and I'll be going great guns again

    Anyways gonna shoot and grab a sandwhich while the boy is sleeping!

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

    I keep wanting to write how hot it is then I read about Melbourne (and I guess it's the same elsewhere...). 40 degree temps predicted in parts of NZ today/tomorrow but was only 30 here (to me that's kinda hot :P

    sasha - glad Kye liked the peach! Hadn't thought of the bread soldiers, I'm running out of vege ideas so keep going back to the food chart plunket gave me.

    I'm trying to keep on top of everyone's news.. I was wondering if you wanted to do a quick survey, I'm curious!

    1. Usual total amount of sleep during day
    2. Usual total amount of sleep during the night
    3. Number of teeth
    4. Sitting up?
    5. Crawling?
    6. Favourite foods?
    7. Food reactions?
    8. Usual number of feeds?
    9. B/F or FF?
    10. Working?

    Here's my answers:

    1. 1.5 hours
    2. 11 hours
    3. 0
    4. Yes
    5. No, but can go up on his hands and knees for short periods
    6. Banana, nectarine, strawberry, peach
    7. None so far
    8. 5 B/F approx, small meal mid-morning and larger meal at dinner
    9. B/F
    10. Yup, or myself, from home - try to do most of the work during the evenings once he's in bed

    Good morning!

    1. Usual total amount of sleep during day
    2. Usual total amount of sleep during the night
    3. Number of teeth
    4. Sitting up?
    5. Crawling?
    6. Favourite foods?
    7. Food reactions?
    8. Usual number of feeds?
    9. B/F or FF?
    10. Working?

    Here are my answers!

    1. About 5 hours (2x 2.5 hour sleeps)
    2. About 12-13 hours (sheesh, when is this child ever awake?? LOL)
    3. 2 teeth
    4. Not yet, but has a tendency to do aerobic crunches
    5. On his back, yes; on his tummy, he is trying to get his knees up under him, so my guess is, not long now!
    6. Haven't really started on solids yet because of his eczema, but he has sucked the life out of my mango once, and cried cause there was none left!
    7. He had a bit of a rash on his cheeks after the mango, but it could have been attributed to teething too, or anything else that may have triggered his eczema (it's so hard when there are so many things that do it)
    8. 6-7 b/f's a day
    9. b/f
    10. Well, he's not broken yet! Ohhhhh, as in, for money? I was doing some stuff self employed, but with all the little hurdles along the way, business has changed direction and I haven't done anything since moving the other week!
