Oh fantastic Sal! I'm so happy for you. Ellie did the same, backwards crawling, and then figured out forwards and then up on knees and hands rocking and then scooching knees forward to meet hands and moving hands forward (cute little caterpiller) and then the rocking turned into coordinated crawling. So she went from backwards moving at around 6 months old to proper crawling at around 8 months.

Toothy for Tobi!!!! Wow, when El cut her first teeth, that day she showed no teething signs, only off her food and grumpy. I felt bad I never knew but she slept ok that night. She'd been teething on and off for several months.

Elouise is just about back into a fantastic routine. She wakes up at 5-6am, I pop dummy in and give her a cloth nappy to cuddle (for some reason she loves it, meh ok fine, as long as you're happy), and she wakes proper at around 7am. Then she has a 200ml bottle followed about an hour later by some food. Usually mashed fruit. Sometime in the morning she has a bath. She naps at around 10am, but today I am postponing bath for early nap time, as she'd have a great long one an her bottles are shifted later which mucks up bedtime.

I'll be back later, rain on washing and rearragning loungeroom to fit playpen better.
