Hi Everyone,

I have been busy so not able to post. The amount of washing with two kids is insurmountable - seems so much more than just one!

Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day, especially if it is your first, and you got spoiled. My present was to have a bath, which I haven't had since before I was pregnant with Ella (wasn't allowed after waters broke at 16wks).

Ella is still waking up twice a night, and feeding 3 times during the day since she is now on solids pretty well. I am still scared to give her sandwiches, although she handles them fine. She won't drink formula whilst I am out during the day so is just drinking water in a cup.

We are cruising the furniture, climbing onto anything off the floor and still only have two bottom teeth. She has learnt to splash in the bath and saying dad, and daddy to DH which is nice.

We finally bought a video camera so have been madly filming the two of them. Haven't managed anything for funniest home videos yet though - will keep trying. That $200,000 would come in handy!!

Scone, well done on the stall!!

Rhi - at the daycare my son goes to they do try and get them all down just after lunch for a big sleep, at about 11.30-12 for the babies room (under 18mths). Ella is having two sleeps, one at about 9-9.30 which could be one to two hours and then after lunch. When she starts at daycare in August I will tell them her routine then, so they can adapt it rather than trying to get her to wait until the big sleep. I can't remember when Myles dropped his morning sleep, probably about 1, but it depends on the child and also can change from month to month I think.

Kim - well done on the waving!

Take care all
