Hi everyone!

Lisa, wow at 10.2kg! That's loads of weight! Lieby is 18lb and really heavy and that's only just over 8kg, so you're doing so well. You've lost a whole Liebling! I am so chuffed for you.

Cate, sweetie, your sleeping post could have mirrored a lot of mine early on. Now I just ignore the sleeping as although it's a big thing for me, I refuse to remember how bad it is and just get on with the day. This isn't to say you should, just that after 6+ months of broken sleep it's the only way I can manage it. But Lieby is getting a lot better now, getting a 4-5 hour stretch every night, so it does pass I promise. But the every 1-2 hours is such a nightmare. I'm thinking of you and El and hoping all is going to be OK very soon.

Kirsten, Spain! Woo-hoo! Hope you like it there. I can't remember much of Spain, never stayed there for long periods of time, but I hope you like it. I keep thinking of Costa Rica when I try to picture Spain, as I've spent more time there and that's a Spanish-speaking country and that's bad as they aren't that similar.

Kel, we had Father's Day 3 months ago - but DH won't take down the card yet! We got him a CD entitled #1 Dad, which now lives in the car.

Water - DS does take it in a free-flowing sippy cup, but vomits afterwards, be it tap water or cool boiled water, so I'm not going to push it. I keep meaning to get a Doidy cup, but until he's OK with water there's no point.

Poos - of course - I'm going to buy Little Man a potty tomorrow. I know when he's about to do poos about 70% of the time with 5-10 mins warning so may as well get him doing poos like a big boy. I let him do poos in naked time this morning but he kicks about in them, I reckon potty is the way to go. Less cleaning up afterwards too.

As for sleep, he finally did a long stretch (4-5hrs) with a long sleep, he's been only doing 7hrs sleep at night recently but he's getting the hang of it again, I'm sure he'll go longer without waking and shorter sleeps again soon and hopefully keep going until he's sleeping all night! He's teething again so will have to see what's up next.

Right, DS wants his porriage so best be off; he loves his breakfast!
