kate omg congrats lovey i am so happy for you all.

brooke you wrote a while ago about maya's sleep issues, oscar sleeps from after dinner until we all go to bed he usually has a feed and then i slip him up to the top and in the middle of our bed where he will sleep until early morning, after den goes to work so he leaves about 6am so he usually wakes after that. then we both go back to sleep until the boys wake for school at about 730 i think. i don't follow any schedules or routine as you all know, and haven't for any of my kids, there is no rights or wrongs for when oscar sleeps or not. some days he does and some he doesn't. please don't think you are doing something wrong. you are doing a great job with maya. this too will pass. i always give challenging behaviour 3 days. when i am in the middle of it i take deep breaths and say only 3 days. so i feel like there is an end. and if it doesn't end in 3 days i start again, only 3 days. hugs to you and maya (ps zak woke and fed 2 hourly day and night for 2 years! )

re rolling sitting, crawling, talking, weaning, remember when they all start school at 5 they would have reach all their milestones and no-one will know who ate what when, rolled, crawled or walked when no-one will know who talked early - late. and no-one will care when they are 5. not that anyone would be worried here about milestones but just in case.

oscar is feeding still during the day as well and hasn't dropped off at all. he lurves it, he doesn't seem to get too distracted just gets down to business and feeds.

kids are back at school :smt022 i miss them and its just me and oskey i am having such a ball with him though. he is trying to clap hands now not very well but he bangs his arms together. also bangs me when he feeds and toys when he is playing. maybe i should call him bam bam!

hi to everyone else
love beckles
