Jules have a great trip and enjoy the newborn hugs. Enjoy your happy day with Jacob, i love it when the day just seems to be consumed with smiles.

MadB even though you forgot about Mothers Day i hope DH and the little ones didn't. Glad you enjoyed camping. It's funny i never ever camped when i was a kid/teenager and if you'd had told me back then i would be camping with 3 kids under 5 i'd have said no chance.... And look what i'm doing!! I don't really think Harper 'needs' solids as yet, the bfeeds are more than enough for her right now but she's just showing all those signs. I'm happy, and i think she is to wait a couple more weeks. After a day like i had yesterday with my big boy i too was thinking 3 was enough But when they are being sweet you could have that x 10. Yes Aidan was my abnormal one Charlie boy barely ever slept through, i never attempted to do anything about it until he was over 8 months old. I settled without a feed then and it was fine but then he started waking again and i just started feeding him again. I was happy to do it. I was still night feeding him (at 12months) when i fell pregnant with Harper.

Charlotte91 so good to hear that things are all so positive for Hannah. You guys must be so proud of yourselves and your little girl. With the solids i remember my Charlie boy taking a long time to get used to them. At the 5ish month mark i tried and he clearly wasn't interested so once he was 6 months we tried again and made it a regular thing but he really didn't take to it for another month after that i don't think. Completey different to my big boy who loved it from the minute we tried it. We'll see how Harper goes when we decide to try.

Hi Crumpet hope all is well and you're enjoying Summah smiles. Crumpet my goodness what a pregnancy you had!! You do have a beautiful little girl to show for it though. The things we go through... You did so well to get through what you did.

Cathie, how is Charlie boy going? I hope the antibiotics are kicking in and he's improving already. Wow imagine if you had twins again!? You guys would be so blessed!! I remember when i was pregnant with Charlie was eager to 'give the whole newborn-toddler' thing a go again as i knew what was involved and wanted to do it with a little more confidence. Would you say it's similar with wanting the possability of having twins again???

PP your trip is going to be amazing i'm sure. It'll pay to be somewhat organised but i'm sure everything will fall into place where it needs to also. Isn't it sad how those early weeks go by so fast and in such a whirl wind that you can barely remember your little ones being newborn. Harper being a newborn feels like such a distant memory '3 at least....' Sounds wonderful PP. With the sleeps Harper generally does two 4-5 hour stints too and i'm happy with that. From the 5-6amish mark i think her body clock just knows what time it is and from then on she wants to be in bed with me. I'm happy to let her Aidan and Charlie both do Mini Maestros (music). Aidan has been doing it since he was 6 months old and Charlie was 12 months. They love it, it focuses on teaching them a whole range of things, fast, slow, high, low, counting, using singing voices, listening, taking turns (using instruments and giving them back) all age appropriate of course. Aidan has only started swimming lessons this year, we would go to the local pool as a family so he's had expereince in the water but now i want him to learn skill that we can't necessarily teach him. Charlie is not doing lessons as yet. Nan is helping at it's so hard to fit everything in

Georgi sleeping through the baptisim!? So cute. I saw the photos on fb, the baptisim and thumb sucking My Aidan was a thumb sucker, i let it go because it made him happy. Now as a 4 year old he only will suck his thumb when he's falling asleep at night.

We've had a good week, Harper has been really good and the car trips a getting a little better.... finally..... She is interacting with the boys alot and them with her. I love it. I often look at the three of them in amazement. I'm so lucky and blessed. I wonder if there are anymore for us?? Harper is trying so hard to roll and when i give her a little help it is only the slightest little nudge that she needs, then she just has to figure out how to get her arm from underneath her.

Time for bed ladies. Have a great weekend, tomorrow night is my burlesque night. I've got my outfit and all the accessories. It should be a great night
