EJ - I'm sure Lily will enjoy her disco on friday she won't stop talking about it I'm sure she could talk under water.

Charlie is also a little chatter box, he talks to everyone and he giggles all the time.

Miri did some 3-hr stretches last night! That was so nice
She doesn't usually feed every wake up, no. she'd explode if she did that! If she wants to feed, she lets me know, otherwise she just grizzles and goes back to sleep. She just seems to have issues staying asleep Having said that, she does feed more overnight than she strictly needs to, but she hardly feeds at all during the day sometimes She will not feed at all if we're out.

Crumpet, she might be feeling unwell. That sort of grumpy, unsettledness often precedes a runny nose or some other illness.


OOO disco! I remember those. Must be about time they were back in fashion

Kaz! That's so awful! I bet his skin was really lovely though I remember DS rubbing nappy cream all over himself and his toy cat. Didn't do it again after I had to put Nut in the washing machine! Poor boy.

Lol at being too old charlotte. I'm sure you're the youngest one here (barring the babies obviously) It's nearly my bedtime now....

Hi again all,

I really should avoid posting about Millie being good, because I jinx myself. 6 hour train ride today. Millie chucked a Tanty To End All Tanties. Yes, capital letters. Actually she did it about 3 times. God, it was awful. DH had never witnessed her tanties so he was freaking out. All I can say is, thank God we booked a parent compartment and we had it to ourselves (although people kept wandering past to gawp... no curtains!!!!!). Also, thank God for the BabyBjorn *kisses the inventor's feet*

So we're in Salzburg now, and yes EJ, we are very very lucky to be travelling (challenges notwithstanding). Millie is in her cot and DH and I have just had a picnic on the floor of our hotel room. Looking forward to seeing the sights tomorrow and for the next few days. Hoping Millie will be in a better mood!

I read on the previous thread about next bubs - yup, we're planning on trying for #2 later this year. We're hoping that we'll be as fortunate again to fall quickly, but if not then so be it. I just think if I ever stop changing nappies I won't want to start again

EJ I used MooGoo when I was bf and it helped a lot, and no probs for Millie at all. I hope it improves soon for you

MadB, Millie's sleep has been a bit off with the long days, also an unfamiliar bed. SHe's pretty good in the KinderKot but as we can't tuck her in (she looks like an ad for SIDS awareness when she's in bed at home) she does quite a bit of circle work and kicks the sides of the tent... it looks funny but at 3am when you're very tired it's not so cute!

Kaz, congrats on 6 months - you're a legend!

Quick question: how do you tell if a tooth is coming through? I know about the white dot thing, but Millie has this one spot in a very odd place for a first tooth... doesn't feel too different from the rest of her mouth though.

Hello to everyone, DH wants the laptop so my time is up...

Hi PP I hope your having fun? Take lots of photo's to put on facebook.

PP you can feel it under the gum - it's pretty obvious compared to the surrounding gums. Sometimes they have white dots but no teeth right there.

Crumpet hope Summah's little difficult stage doens't last too long. Maybe no ill reactions to the needles as such but maybe they have made her a little grumpy!?

i hadnt thought of that.....

hope ur having a great time!

AFU: still plodding along with my off child.....

managed to get some avocado and banana into her for lunch, will see what happens with dinner.

im starting to think she might not like lumps in her food which isnt great but oh well will just roll with it for a bit longer i think

[Charlotte91]

Hannah hates lumps. She prefers the custards and yogurt-y ones.

No teeth yet. Gah!! I'm over it. Its right there! I can feel it under the surface!
She went well with her needles, MCHN is always impressed at how Hannah barely cries for her needles. She does one big shout and thats about it. MCHN thinks its because premmies are usually tough.

Physio was next (travelled an hour and a half) and Hannah doesn't really like the physio. Hannah just stares at her with her bottom lip sticking out, with a single tear rolling down her cheek. Its enough to make anyone cry. lol. DP and I just laugh at her when she cries. We can't help it.
Physio only went for about 20 minutes because Hannah was just so out of sorts from the injections. Apart from that she's been a good girl. Ran into a mate in the plaza who had a baby last week and got to have a good 'coo' over the baby. He's completely gorgeous, little Harvey. He looks sooo tiny!! Even tho he's the same size Hannah was at 3 months old. I can't believe it. No wonder people though Hannah was so small!!

Waiting for some furniture to turn up. Was meant to come on Friday so I rang up and abused them on Monday and now its meant to come today. Not impressed. At All.

PP -- Can't wait to see your holiday pictures!! I really want to go over there!
