Hi everyone! I haven't posted in here in a while, sorry! It's so hard to sit down for long enough these days.

Just wanted to wish Megsmum a happy birthday!!! I hope you are having a great day .

Saffi - M is such a great weight, well done! Are you still BF'ing her? I know you wanted to wean her a little while ago. Also, I seem to recall you asking me if Alana is in a cot? She has been in her cot from the beginning in her own room, I can't sleep with a baby in our room, I don't know why!!

Misty - You can take some antibiotics while BF'ing. I've taken them before when BF'ing DS2 and DD, you just need to tell your GP so he/she can prescribe the correct ones. I hope you feel better soon .

Hi to everyone else! Sorry for the slack personals , I have to get ready to go and pick DS1 up from school shortly so I have to be quick. DS1 was made Pupil of the Week yesterday, he's so excited . He gets a ribbon and certificate at the end of the week at the school assembly, so cute!

All is going pretty well with us. I started Alana on rice cereal today (too slack to try anything else first ). At first it just sat on her tongue, but she worked it out pretty quickly. I think because of the fact that she insisted on putting the spoon in her mouth herself! She's such a little grabber, it was just easier to give it to her LOL. She seemed to really enjoy the exercise which is great. She turns 6 months old tomorrow so I thought I'd better get a move on with solids.

As I said above, she's big into grabbing things. Her favourite things to grab are hair and feet, she's so funny! She grabs my hair or one of her brothers and makes a high-pitched squeal, like it's the best thing ever . She's still crawling backwards, trying so hard to go forwards. She spends all of her time and her hands and knees or hands and toes rocking, she refuses to be on her back.

Her sleeping has gone a bit bad lately, I have a feeling some teeth will pop through soon. Hopefully they do so we can get some better quality sleep around here!

Well, I'd better run and do a few more things before waking Alana and DS2 up for the school run. I hope you are all well!
