    Hi all! Well as per usual everyone is MIA.

    William is spectacular as always. I can't believe I am 12weeks pregnant today!

    Kelly~ GL at the mother and baby unit. I am sure they will have Charlotte's sleep sorted out in no time.

    Hi Girls

    Not sure what I`ve been doing but I feel I`ve been busy hence my absence.

    Maz - Hugs to you sweetie. How are you?

    Sam - Yay for Caleb. Adrian has been trying his best for 2 weeks to move but all we seem to get is bunny hops but he`s so fast with rolling so who needs to crawl when your an expert at rolling.

    Kelly - Glad to hear Charlottes sleeping is a little better hopefully now it will improve each night.

    Adrian is doing well, as I said earlier still not crawling but is so fast at rolling, he`s eating very well and his sleeping has been better the last 3 nights. Better go as the man is crying.

    Wow at 12 weeks Sarah! LOL William is specatcular

    How you doing today Maz?

    Anna Hi Thought I'd mention my brother lives in Perth. Can't remember what suburb (how slack is that lol) I never write him a letter now or anything so I don't have it, it's all phone and email lol!

    Kelly hope all is well for you ATM

    Well I think I will be spending less time here on BB and more time doing housework as my dear Caleb has now sorted out the crawling thing. I *have* to keep the floor clean now. Damn I so hate mopping
    Little monkey was so proud of himself after he crawled from the lounge into the kitchen!
    I put the cutest overalls on him yesterday and he totally spat it because they impeded his crawling abilities He grizzled till I took them off him and then he was all smiles. It was not long after that he crawled into the kitchen...

    YAY Caleb for crawling!!! William still isn't crawling, he is just rolling his way around the house. Pretty funny to see! I hear you on the less BB more mopping. It sucks. Especially for me as working from home the hair gets everywhere. So it really needs done daily now he is rolling all over the house. Speaking of such I must go and do it now as William has just fallen asleep.

    Hello All,

    I got home from sleep school today and they have done wonders to my little girl. She is now putting her slef to sleep and sleeping through the night ( again). They gave us a routine to follow

    We have been following this bed Charlotte has been having 2 long sleeps and as she wakes up around 8am. So we are down to 5 feeds in 24 hours.
    The first time we put her down to sleep it took 1 hour to get her to sleep and it was heartbreaking to listen to her get angry and upset, and then the next day it took 30 mins. When we got home it took 10 mins, yay.


    With the solids, I have been told she is just fussy and VERY stubborn, and to keep trying, Charlotte gets weighed in 2 weeks so we will see how she goes with her weight.

    Sarah- thanks for the text messages, Charlotte is doing much better and we are happy to be at home.

    Sammi- yay for caleb, Charlotte is still just getting up on her hands and knees.

    sammi - i think you should attatch mop heads to calebs knees, then he'll do the floor for you in no time PMSL
    some one (cant remember who) said that after 6 weeks of solids that a bub sleeps through....here's hoping.
    Vy has discovered her feet and that by crawling over to the vid cabinet she can find wonderful things under it like DUST!!!! naughty girl making more work for me.
    Hello eveyrone else, will endevore to be prompt in getting my butt in here, had a yucky week but it can only get better.

    Hiya Kelly welcome back! Great results from the sleep school Hope she keeps up the good work! I've also got one that's stubborn with the solids. I know he's getting some as his nappies are whiffy but it's such an ordeal!
    Maz ROFL I recall a kit kat ad a few years ago for that very thing! I think I'd very much like one of those

    Hi Sarah, Anna, dd, Dawn, Leah, and any one else I've forgotten. Come on in and say HI!

    Caleb was awake at 4am so I brought him to bed for a feed and cuddle. He was just so darn wriggly that I took him back to his cot and he rolled onto his tummy and into a ball and settled straight away and slept till 9am. He's asleep now and has been for 2 hours. I think he's worn out from all this crawling lol!

    Hope you all out there are having an excellent weekend!

    ETA we put the level down on Calebs cot yesterday! My bubba is growing up

    Hi everyone!!!

    All is well here. William still isn't crawling. He does manage to do some strange move to go backwards though. So he is still managing to roll and wiggle his way around the house.
    William has been a naughty boy and waking in the night. He has been doing this since he was sick. But it doesn't help that DH goes and gets him and puts him in bed with us!! Last night he woke up once about 130, I managed to get him back to sleep in his own bed thank goodness. Hopefully he will start sleeping through again soon.

    Kelly~ How is Charlotte doing since being home from the mother/baby unit? Still being an angel??

    Sam~ Is Caleb crawling around enough to build up an appetite for solids yet?

    I hope you are all well.

    Sarah LOL at William! He's got DH under his little thumbs
    It could be teeth too waking him up. I *think* Calebs teeth are on the move...

    He's still not too keen on food but I'm getting a bit into him. It's a battle though.
    Last night he crawled from the front room up to Angus' bedroom which is the whole length of the house and he's pulling himself up to standing. His got a bruise on his head as last night he grabbed onto my leg in the kitchen to pull himself up and lost his balance and fell over I can't believe I wasn't quick enough to grab him.

    Hi All

    Charlotte is getting better at sleeping, she will normally wake once for her dummy and thats it, and last night it only took 15 mins for her to go to sleep. She likes routine, she is having 2 big sleeps during the day normally for about 2 hours at a time. On saturday night she was a monster as we were out until late so she was up all night. She is still not crawling, but is getting up on her hands and knees a whole lot more. She has also started to pull faces it is sooooo cute.
    This morning I was getting dressed in front of her, and she was going crazy, so I sat down next to her and she jumped at me and tried to suck on my boob;s very funny, so i carn't get dressed in the same room as her now.

    Sarah- How are you feeling? Getting any movement yet? I am going to chady today, I havn't been shopping in ages, Madison needs some new clothes.

    Sammi- Solids is still a battle with us as well, I am lucky if I can get her to take 2 tspns, I have been told to leave it if she does not want it.

    Kelly~ You should have let me know you were going to chaddy I would have met you there for sure!!! Did you get Madison some clothes. I am due a trip to DFO, I just might drag DH there this weekend.
    No movement yet, only 13weeks. So I should feel it in the next few weeks. I am just hanging out to find out the sex. Although I am pretty positive that it is another boy.

    Sam~ You must be chasing Caleb all over the house now!!! I am really in no hurry for William to get moving. It is bad enough with him rolling around and going backwards. I don't think he is too far away though he is always getting up on his knees and rocking. SCARY!!

    William slept through the night last night! WooHoo!

    Kelly LOL at Charlotte going in for the milk!
    Sarah how does DH tolerate being dragged along shopping? Trevor despises it! Talk about whinge

    Yup I am chasing Caleb all over the house. He likes to follow his brothers about...
    I think he is teething. We had a shocker of a night lastnight. He wouldn't settle and was very uptight. He quietened down a bit after rubbing bonjela on his gums. I ended up taking him to bed and feeding him to sleep at 12. I woke up at 2:30 and put him in the cot and he grizzled but settled and is still asleep now. I'm debating whether I should wake him or not

    Sarah- I went to Chaddy, but I still can not find anything for Madison, though I did get her some tracksuit pants from Cotton On Kids, and a really cute top from Myer, I am going to drag Tim to DFo, prob tomorrow, as he has a day off.

    Sam- I am starting to find Charlotte in some odd places, she is still getting up on her hands and knees, but she pushs backwards and gets places. Its cute to watch her move around.

    Sarah - sounds like your DH and Jed are the same. Vy cant even cry with out Jed running. I absolutely HATE mondays. I refuse to pick Vy up all the time were jed loves nothing more than to hold her all the time.
    All this talk of Chadie makes me so home sick...I use to live in Hastings years ago and I wish I lived closer some times, then I remember that all the inlaws live there and breath a sigh of relief. ROFL
    Dee - im good matie thanks for asking. Adrioan sounds like he's finding his groove.
    Kelly - glad Charlottes getting better with her sleep. Little steps make big bounds in the end. Happy thoughts.
    Hello everyone else....were is Anna and Bel gone?
    I suppose I better get my tea organised to be cooked when I get home. Parent teacher interview so I have to bath and give Vy her tea early. She's been trying to sit up the last 2 days and cracks it really bad when it doesnt work..she so DOESNT have my temper PMSL. IM hoping that She copies Caleb when they see each other. I keep counting down the sleeps to her and telling her she's gonna see her boyfriend soon. This time Sammi - we have to take pics.
    Ok
    later chicken
