    Hi girls

    CHARLOTTE - Try having a hot shower with her, but don't put her under it of course. The steam will get all the snot out

    We have a tooth! As I knew it was on it's way I have been looking every day & finally it cut. I was quite surprised how good he's been. He did have a couple of days of little sleep, during the day, but he hasn't been crumpy at all. I do believe the necklace is what's keeping the peace.

    everyone!!!

    we are back!!!!

    had such a nice break away, was so nice to have more than 1 day a week with DH home! he went back to work today and it wasnt as fun getting up to just me and summah

    was full on travelling with a baby without our usual creature comforts (bouncer, jumperoo etc) but we managed! she did well being pulled in and out of the car all the time!

    she has rolled from her front to her back once and DH said she rolled from back to front as well, but i didnt see that one

    no teeth yet, still chewing on anything and everything so thats fun, solids are going well, loves her vegies! isnt so keen on fruit but she will eat it.

    better get back to the washing/un-packing/cleaning of the house and ill hopefully keep up now we are home!!!

    Pixie - I hope Millie gets better soon. Sounds pretty nasty!
    Crumpet - Glad your holiday went OK. Ahhh, I want a holiday. The only time we go away is when Hannah has appointments in Melbourne. Thats not a holiday!!

    There's teeth popping up everywhere, it seems!! Hannah still has got nothing but bucket loads of drool. She's had to start wearing a bib constantly because her shirts were getting soaked.
    Hannah has rolled from tummy to back. Which, according to physio, is massive. But its only been a few times. She'll catch up eventually. Thats one of the reasons I like being in this group. I like seeing where other bubbas born at the same time (although, not gestation) as Hannah are up to.

    No snot-suckers here. DP wanted to use a syringe out of the panadol box..... I didn't think it would work very well, so I'm not using it.
    She's a complete snot machine, which is sort of OK because its really (TMI) clear and easy to wipe away. Its not sticky or anything.

    I'm letting her sleep for as long as she wants today. She's been in bed for 2 hours at the moment. She went to bed at 5.30 last night. We went to wake her at 9pm to give her a bottle and she never even moved when the light was turned on and the blankets taken off her. So, we just left her and she slept til 6.30 this morning.

    I knew it would happen eventually, but I was hoping to make it a bit further through winter (or actually into winter) before Han got sick.

    It must b ehard when they're so sick when they're little DD's only had minor bugs, and DS was 11 months before he got his first cold. He was rotten sick for weeks when first tried him in daycare though. Those sucker things are very handy though!
    Little Hannah is doing great! DD has only manged rolling onto her tummy, then she squarks and can't get back!

    Glad you had a nice break Crumpet.

    More teeth!

    Hey Crumpet, glad you had such a good break

    Georgi, glad the necklace made a difference! I think I'll put it on Millie 24/7 leading up to and during the trip (DH doesn't like her wearing it at night).

    Charlotte, Millie is sleeping up a storm today too. Normal routine has gone out the window, and we have gone back to her little bottles, giving her small feeds more often (as she hasn't taken more than 120ml at a feed since about Friday). Hope the snot clears up soon

    MadB, that's what I'm focusing on right now... better that she get her first 'real' illness before she goes into daycare, build up that immune system... I'm so sure she got this from the gym creche, the girls in MG tend to stay at home if their LO is sick.

    So, back to our regular GP this morning after another hellish night. DH stayed home from work with us, which was so good of him. Our GP said they don't usually diagnose asthma before 12 months, and that she has bronchiolitis (which I believe Charlie had recently, Cathie?). We've got an appt with a paed tomorrow morning but from the sound of things we'll just have to ride it out - 5-7 days apparently.

    Hope you're all well. Miserable weather here today - pouring with rain almost non-stop. Dreeeeeeary!

    oh no bronchilitis does not sound good!
    As awful as t was getting sick constantly (i think his poor body just never got the chance to recover properly thanks to sick kids not been excluded at that daycare), I'd prefer a 16month old sick than a 6 month old! I hope your babies are well again soon
    It's raining here too, but that's great!

    Hi all

    PP - yeah charlie had the same as Millie it took him 10 days to get over it. The Dr just told us to keep and eye on his drinking and wees. It can lead into Asthma.
