Raels - very cute boys! Well done starting up that mothers group too, its ace to have others around to share stuff with, i love my mothers group!!

Jem - hope you enjoyed your night out at the concert!! Cant remember the last time i went to one...oh yes i do, it was Robbie Williams, love him!!

Jan - glad the family is on the mend and have a great anniversary dinner

Nicky - sorry you are having such a dodgy time with wake ups....thats one thing we havent had yet so i dont have any good advice. When Lach goes to bed does he go down awake and put himself to sleep? I have actually heard that at this age they know that you still exist when youre not there so during the night they know you are out there somewhere and want a bit of lovin' and reassurance! Also we turned the car seat around a week ago cos lucas was always trying to sit up and turn around, he is happy in it!

Sacha - very clever of Autie to stand in her cot....good times for you a am sure!!

Rebecca - you must be exhausted! Lucas is down to just 3 "meals" a day, breakfast around 7.30am...bottle (200-240ml) and cereal, lunch around 12pm....bottle (150-200ml) & vegies or fruit, dinner around 5.30pm vegies and meat and bottle before bed (200 - 240 ml) bw 7 & 7.30pm. He was fussy with his bottles so is down to 3 and this seems to be working, all the resources i have found have said this is fine after 6 months. Hope things pick up for you on the food and sleep front.

Oshani - i hope everything with your thyoid is ok and you start feeling better!

Well Lucas' cold just wont seem to disappear and he has been a bit of a grump! Still sleeping well at night though so i cant complain too much but he is constantly putting his arms up for me to give him a cuddle...cute but tiring! He had a massive tanty this morning when i tried to get the snot out of his nose i had to laugh at him he carried on so much! Meanwhile i am trying to get our house ready to go on the market, not easy with a sick 8 month old!! Thank god for parents! Dad has been washing windows and mum did the oven...god bless!

Well thats it from me for now,,,oh and thanks for all the info on the crawling! I know they're all different but i think lucas would be so much happier if he was mobile but he is not even close!!

ta ta!
