Hi Everyone
Having hourly night wake-ups with hysterical crying at the moment. We have one tooth through but I'm not sure that it's the cause because she is ok during the day. And she won't allow any kind of comfort except boob -Just a little physically and emotionally draining and I'm hoping it stops before DH leaves on Tuesday. On a brighter note, we bought a new (second hand) car and pick it up tomorrow. It's a metallic burgandy (colour comes first of course LOL) Ford something something Series 3 yada yada low mileage, bells and whistles etc etc. I'm just happy it looks great and the interior is pristine and the AC works!

I will attempt some personals though I probably won't be able to catch up with everyone - sorry
Jess - Good news on the solids. Hope you're feeling a little better about DH and can manage to get some sleep soon. I know how you feel. Take care of you.

Mel - sounds like you really had a great time and how nice to spend some quality time with DH. It's great that you could enjoy it even though you missed the kids so much. Dan and i went out to lunch yesterday - our first outing without Autie and we were only gone 2 hours and I couldn't wait to get back to her! (Though lunch was unreal - on the Broadwater with seafood and ****tails)

August - I can well imagine that people call Lucas 'happy baby' - just look at his photo! Just love it!

Sara - ditto on the lack of energy. Hope we both get some from somewhere soon LOL

Nicky - oh so cute with the 'mum' call! not so cute with the bite! LOL Ouch! I am crossing my fingers that doesn't happen here! Has it been repeated?

Megan - Sleeps? Don't want to talk about it LOL Usually two of about an hour each though quite often less. Autie also began refusing her third nap and being super tired. I have tried to push her other two out a bit later to have her last at about 2-3 so then she can last until 6ish. Autie's naturapath recommended only normal natural yoghurt for her as the baby ones have so much sugar.

Nay - it's ok to add other things into the diet if you think he needs it. Some carbs at dinner may fill him a little more though that doesn't really seem the case with Autie. Maybe some meat too if you're not going vegetarian. I also find Autie likes a snack now and then - usually a piece of something she can hold herself - broccoli, avocado, cauliflower, roasted vegies etc. She's not having bread anymore for the moment but she loved toast with vegemite to work on for a while. Do what you think will work for the both of you.

Sorry, that's going to have to be it for me tonight. I should be sleeping while I can. Ciao
