Hi everyone. We are finally back online so I can now check up on everyone! DH is now in Vic and we are missing him. We have sooo much to organise and it all needs to be done while DH is away so I am feeling pretty stressed right now. That cold we had lasted aaages but is thankfully gone now. The last two nights DD has been so clingy - will fall asleep on me but as soon as I try to put her down she clings onto me soooo tight and screams if I put her down (after prising her little hands off me!). It took three hours to get her down the other night, and last night I gave up and just let her sleep with me. I think it's to do with DH being away - she must miss him the poor little thing.

prama - yay on poopy crawling and taking steps! We had secret santa at MG today too - it was heaps of fun and we got some great pressies. Our MG has now become a playgroup which is so much easier now that the kids are getting so mobile. And I am another one who hasn't started Christmas shopping - I must get onto that!!

jen - woo hoo Amber on crawling!! I hope she starts to sleep better soon.

esme - I'm glad to hear DS is going so well with solids now. I think I will have to try cottage cheese sandwiches and see if I have any luck!

coer - I hope XP stops hassling you, what a pain, esp around Christmas. I can hardly believe how olds our bubs are either, it has gone too quick! I visited a newborn the other day and while I am not ready for another one yet, I can definitely see myself starting to get clucky again!!

I had DD weighed today and she is only just 8kg. I feel terrible, like I am not feeding her enough as her growth has almost plateaued whereas before she was going great. Now she is below the 25 percentile. I don't know what to do to make her eat better though, I have tried everything!!
