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!

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

4. Yes
5. No, but can go up on his hands and knees for short periods

Good morning!

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?

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!

hope no one is affected by the fires in vic, dont know where everyone lives! Looks terrible! ive never seen anything like it! makes me so sad to think of all those people having to leave thier homes and coming back to find everything gone! and those who dont make it out!! those who stay to fight the fires to save thier homes and livelyhood! And the fire fighters...who put thier lives on the line for others! Who could imagine that some of them could have been started by thoughtly and stupid people!!

hope everyone is well, i think i have to go have a shower, i cant watch the news anymore! its making me so upset!

[nagromeyk]

Kye is also standing on his own too over furniture - I have a picture of him about a month ago doing it.

The latest thing he loves to do to amuse himself is stand up (with someone supporting him of course) and stomp
