Hi guys.

Well, DD and I have just returned from Melbourne and we had a fantastic time! She was soooo good, barely even noticed the take-off and landing on the plane, I just gave her some water and she either drank or played with the bottle. She even fell asleep half way through the descent on the way home! We did lots of shopping and she was good as gold. Nights are still not great, but much better than they were. We managed to see the paediatrician before we left and he put her on some meds and food thickener and it has done wonders. She is a much happier girl now. The paed also said it is fine for her to sleep on her tummy so she only sleeps that way now and sleeps much much better. The most exciting thing is that on our trip she finally learnt how to roll from her tummy to her back! It has taken aaaages, she learnt to roll from her back to her tummy in May, so she took her time to learn how to get back! It's hilarious, she can move so far now and so quickly! Now I will have to start being v careful, the other night she rolled into the kitchen in about 2 seconds while I popped into the bedroom to get something! She has been so lovely and smiley and giggly lately, it really is a gorgeous age.

Prama - wow, Lakshman looks so grown up now! I love that photo. I should update DD's too.

Sueby - gees, it must be hard doing a shift like that with kids, I reckon I would struggle to do it without kids!

minky - DD has just started doing that too, she can get her legs under her but then doesn't know what to do. She has also managed to tuck her toes underneath her and briefly support herself on her hands and feet. I am so not ready for crawling yet!

ash - good luck!

I tried DD with a rusk the other day, but she wasn't interested. She is now having one meal a day and I will soon start her on two. It is so messy!

Hi to everyone else, hope you are doing well
