Crap night here too. Took me ages to get Loren off to sleep. Finally got her down at 10pm, she woke at 1.30 for a feed and then woke again at 4am, 4.30, 5 and 5.30am. I agree Jus, all our bubs must be growth spurting or developing and their sleep is disturbed. Either that or the moon is in a weird phase.

Coffee time

BTW - When awake Loren seems to be getting really cranky and yelling out alot. She is not happy just to sit around, she wants to be heald and on the move all the time. This means my HAB gets a workout and I really don't sit down much. She also does heaps of grunting and squealing.

hugs to everyone getting crap sleeps, may tonight the sleepy vibes get to all the little ones.

I had Sofia weighed yesterday and CW she is now 6kg - yay, all the 0000's packed away and in her 000's. She is full of smiles and had a full on laughing match with Maria this morning.

Maria however is so trying, its as if she knows now what naughty is and knows how to push my buttons. - 2 year old anyone?

Really must be something in the air.. not such a flash night here last night either.. Olivia woke at 12 and was unsettled till 4:30. just awake and grizzly. I think she gets either hot or cold during the night. this weather is playing a big part in her sleeping patterns at the moment I think.. I say bring on the cold weather so it isn't so up and bleepin down!!

Today was good though. Went out for morning tea I even took very hot freshly made scones Came home minus one child lol.. so had some nice time with jusy Jacob and Olivia. ALthough Isaac was dropped off half an hour later cus he got upset at mummy not being there *sigh* School next year is going to be fun!! not!

Well I am off to do some googling. Ethan is a fine mood. Olivia happy for now so will take some time out.. just finished power cleaning.. Isaac and Jacob happy little chappies

Hi Louise, it was lovely to meet you and your little girls. I am dreading the terrible two's as little miss asserts herself already.

Hugs to everyone who had a bad night last night. We had a good night and slept in till 10am but we needed it. Monique hardly slept yesterday and was up from 3.30-4.30am the morning before.

Bek, I know what you are going through. Monique is usually happy to play on her mat with her toys but lately she has been whingey and maybe bored so we put her in the bjorn and go for a walk or something. She is also taking ages to go to sleep, sigh.

Hi Jus, welcome aboard.

Right, off to do some things before Monique wakes for a feed.

Just wanted to take Kitten2b up on her offer - only if i can give you my 2yr old in exchange

Vicky ended up sleeping til 8am yipee! but that threw her out for the rest of the day she only managed 2 x 45 min & 1 x 20min naps from then until 6.30 tonight at which point she crashed out on me poor soul. Fingers crossed tomorrow is better - dressed her warmer tonight & Alex has strict instructions to stay in his own bed - maybe i'll hop in with him at 2am

Nic - thanks for the fishing tip DP is off to by Alex a rod this weekend he's so excited (DP that is)

I bet alex and Dp enjoy it I expect piccies of course

I can't believe I forgot to post in here..

olivia rolled Back to Tummy last night and smooshed herself across the floor about 30cm

and tonight I was in the middle of cooking dinner and Olivia wanted a bath and Ethan was already in there.. so I took her down with the intention of a 5 minute bath. In the end she lay in the tub with me holding her laughing at Ethan and kicking and splashing. (so cute) Then I had to turn the sausages so Ethan held her real tight while I ran and did that (total trust) I came back (less then 20 seconds) and they were both kicking up a storm.. It was just so cute..

Ps the bath was less them 30cm deep. Just saying it as I felt guilty for leaving her with an 8 yr old in water. I certainly wouldn't make a habit of it the leaving the room that is but it might be fun for Olivia to have a bath with the boys. She really seemed to enjoy it

Shame on your Nic LOL, Abbey has bathes with Noah and Tehya all the time. More of a hindrance though. Tehya likes to get in her face so poor Abbey can't relax and enjoy it. Good for saving on water though.

WTG on Olivia's rolling, what a clever girl.

Morgan, hope you get some sleep tonight and good girl to Vicky for sleeping in. (OMG I am getting a let down writing about someone elses baby!!)

Tinsel, what I wouldn't do for a sleep in like that.

Louise, sure I'll take Maria, and give you my 13 year old instead YAY on Sofia's growth too. Clever girl.

Bek, Abbey is getting to be a cranky pants too at times. Looks like I have another one with a nice temper. There is only so much you can do to entertain a 4 month old baby. And the electronic baby sitter(tv) isn't cutting it just yet.

Jus, it's a hard call with the dummyisn't it. My 3 year old still has hers. It's doing my head in trying to get it off her. She doesn't care if people tell her she's a baby or whatever. Abbey is a thumb sucker so I'm not sure what's worse. Atleast you can throw a dummy away, although not with much success around here. But Abbey has learnt to put her thumb in her mouth and resettle herself at times.

Had a meet up today at a playcentre with some of the other girls from BB. Abbey was pretty good and had a sleep on the way there and while we were there for about 40 minutes and that was it for the day. Got ehr to sleep again for about 15 mintues this afternoon until the kids woke her up. Then she screamed pretty much from about 3.30 til 7pm tonight. I ended up giving her some panadol after the bonjela did nothing for her. Now the poor chook is in bed fast asleep. I even changed her into her night nappy and she didn't wake up. Her bottom middle 2 teeth are so very close already.

My baby is growing up wayyyyyy too fast for my likings
