Hi all

Cooper's learnt a few new things lately:

 he can climb stairs
 he can do "high five" (slap hands)
 he can say "ta"
 he can say "****-a-doodle-do" but it sounds like "****-a-doo" or something!
 he can drink from a straw

Lately he has been doing something new every day. A lot is happening!

WOW! Your little man has been busy learning new things. Bet thats been exciting for your fam!

Hi all

We had a nice few days away, it was nice and warm up there. Charlotte did not sleep that good, I had to rock her to sleep and the first night she woke up a few times but the second night she slept the whole night until 6:30am. But now she is self settling since we are home YAY.

Em- the sleep clinic I went to help sooooooo much with sleeping. Before I had to rock Charlotte to sleep and she would wake 3-4 times a night for comfort feeds, but now about 99% of the time she will put her slef to sleep and the other 1% i would have to pat her to sleep. She has been waking over night but we are waiting for a tooth to come though, so she has been having one comfort feed about 3am only for about 4-5 mins and she will go back to sleep. Charlotte will also sleep for about 2 hours twice a day.

Fee- wow at Cooper doing so much. Charlotte is still comando crawling she can get on to her knee's and crawl but she is getting faster at the comando. I found her in the bathroom this morning.

Carls- I think you nead to send me some soup and bread that sounds yummy. How are you feeling?

Charlotte is growing so fast she started to say MUM on friday. YAY its so cute, when she is hungry she say's mumum. and when you ask her to clap hands she will, and she is starting to clim onto things she loves the activity table.

Hi all

Wow lots has been happening on here. We are still in reno city but it has gone a bit pear shaped with my mum (it's her house) going a bit dramatic and trying to take over the job because she thinks we are 'stressed' about it and it is no good for our family, WTF we are doing it for the family. Anyway she is a major drama queen and does stuff like this a lot so I am a bit p****d off with her today and have had a major cry to DH about it all. What a mess. Anyway things with Dylan are pretty good he is still commando crawling but does try to get up on his hands and knees sometimes but then just crashes back down to the ground. He is cruising a little bit if I put him up to something like the coffee table, couch, etc and is trying to pull himself up on things. Oh and he likes ot get up on the couch wuith you and then he gest back off it himself but then doesn't know where to go, hee hee. He is saying mum, dada, yeah, nang nang nang, bub bub bub, and he will say it back to you if you say it to him, he especially likes the word nang and will say it really loud and plays this game with you like he is the loudest and you have to say it back. Oh and today he said meow cos i had been singing a cat song to him with meow in it. He is very into doors and boxes and papers at the moment. Sleep is still an issue at times though his day sleeps have gotten better but some nights he wakes quite a few times like last night and he is still being fed over night but this is going to finish this week.

Kel Sounds like things are sorting themselves out with Charlotte that's great.

Dustmite That video of you little guy was so cute and so funny your wife sounds lovely. Dylan just throws things on the floor that he doesn't want.

Carly The soup sounded yum yum yummy. Hope you are feeling ok.

Fee Wow Cooper's development is really full speed ahead that's great. Sorry he is still giving you sleep issues.

Em Charlie is so cute love the photos. Hope they help you out with some sleep strategies.

Mads Happy birthday mate hope you had a great day and your busy week is fun.

Anyway enough from me I have to go get Dylan's lunch ready (ham and cheese sandwich)and dry my hair. Byeeeeeeeee.
