Hi there!

Happy 8 months Jack!!!!!

Good luck with the relactation AMM - Let us know what happens. It sounds very interesting, and might come in handy one day.

Well, My little angel *cough cough* has been very naughty since we got back from Wagga. When we were away, he only woke at 4am for a feed. That's pretty awesome for us. I am happy to get up to him one or 2 times a night, no drama's.
But since we got back, he is waking 4+ times a night, and not for feeds. He gets REALLY cranky, for no real reason. Once a night, I am applying bonjella to his bottom gums as his teeth have cut, but haven't come all the way through yet... it's been 2 weeks... but that's a vent for another time.. LOL
I think his top 2 teeth are giving him greif as well.
Anyway, the only real way to settle him, is to bring him to our bed. Which isn't too much of a concern as we were co sleepers for the first few months anyway, but man, it's just plain annoying that we can't get a nice 5 hour chunk of sleep at night anymore. So dodgy.
So hopefully this is just temporary, and he goes back to waking once a night very soon.
On the solids front, IS THERE ANYTHING THIS CHILD WONT EAT??? I think I must have had it pretty easy, and I have a child that just devours everything in sight. pmsl. Although apple and oatmeal didn't go down perfect the first time. lol
I have made a heap of fresh fruit and veg up for the next week, and it's all new stuff. Although, I brought broccolli, and then read that it shoulnd't be introduced before 8 months of age, so I am planning on pureeing freezing and saving for another month.

Yay on the words Raels!!!!
Lach started saying mum mum last week, so he's got 3 words and a 'nickname' down pat now. Bubba, da-da, mum-mum, are all very clear, and then theres 'gar'. Thats the nickname. For what, I am not sure, but its said far too often to be for fun. We also have the little man just calling out when he wants our attention. it's hillarious. We turn our backs for a second and get a big 'aaaaa'!!!!! Very demanding child. lol

Well, I best be off. Plenty of housework to do
