Hi girls,

we are back from our holiday to Kangaroo Island. So much has been going on...there is no way I can respond, so I'll just start from here!!

Holiday was great, but ended up doing a bit more driving than I would have liked and poor Pup was getting heartily sick of the car seat. But he was exceptionally good seeing as he didn't really have a routine as such while away.

He had his first visit to the beach while in KI - wasn't too thrilled about the experience neither! It was a windy day and there were waves crashing in on the beach. I think the tide was coming n as well and the waves were rushing up the sand towards him. We were on a fairly skinny beach too, so there was no getting away from them. He cried when we put is feet int he water - it was very cold - but he did like playing (and eating!) in the sand.

We are still not crawling - I thought he might while we were away - and still no teeth. As like a few in here (Kelse and Dion), Pup won't touch lumpy food either. Very frustrating, espeically because he won't eat potato either. Makes for a challenging menu. We have stuck to mainly commerical bubby food while away, but I want to get back into homemade stuff now we're back.

I am on about CD40 something and still no sign of AF. I have done a couple of HPT (as recently as yesterday) and only got BFN. Maybe the AF I had (although it was full on) was a freak visit!!?? I just wish AF would show up so we can try again ASAP.

I am still BFing and we have dropped to 3 feeds a day and for some strange reason, Pup has felt the need to wake up int hemiddle of the night (for about the past 3 weeks) for a feed. So in 24hrs, he is getting 4 BFs (but the midday one is quite short). This waking in the night has me a bit stumped. He has slept through since he was 8 weeks old and NOW he decides to have nocturnal adventures. Fortunately, he feeds and then goes straight back down again...so it could be worse.

Well, best go. Loads of unpacking to do....(we had 1 bag each and the rest of the stuff (a CARLOAD) was for Pup!!!)
