Hi thanks for the welcome...

Well first a bit about us. Maddi was born 27.02.07 and is our first baby. My husband Lee & I were married in 04/06 in his home country Samoa and have now moved back to Australia.

Maddi is growing bigger every day and is the spitting image of her dad, (only cuter!!). She has 6 teeth, is crawling and standing (but not walking) and loves to laugh and squeal.... She has never slept through and still only manages 3 -4 hours sleep at best. At the moment this is ok but we are open to ideas to extend this out. She is also still BF fully and does not take a bottle so I am on full time feed duty. We are trying to introduce a cup in the hope she will feed that way but at the moment is just keen on chewing the spout and letting the liquid drip down her chin!!

She has managed quiet a few foods and we are just starting finger foods which she loves to munch on. Other than that she has fruits and vegies for breaky and dinner and we have also started including small amounts of meat.... only in the last few days....

I think that is about all... would love any advice ideas on feeding and sleeping... although LOL everyone I speak to has their own ideas on what I am doing wrong!! (including the old woman next door who never had children!!)

Thanks so much for the kind welcome am looking forward to chatting over coming months.

Cheers,
