Hi everyone,

Finally, we have a functioning bathroom, so we?re back home and I have a computer back. Yay!

V ? Good luck with all the job applications, hopefully they all come through for you, so that you can pick the one that suits you the most.

Mel ? that is so sad about the lady at your work.

Sarah ? clever Bayleigh, all those new skills he?s picking up. I hope the sleep lady was good today, I?d love to hear what she thought, and to see if it makes a difference for you all. I hope it does, 9 months is a long time to go without a full nights sleep.

Bec ? great to hear from you. The whole sleeping/not eating thing is such a vicious circle. It?s good that the daycare people are able to help out with increasing Xavier?s food. And isn?t it good when they can start eating normal breakfasts like weetbix.

Well, not that much exciting stuff for us really. Liam has discovered that he can grind his 2 teeth together, and I?ve got to say that it?s one of the most hideous sounds I?ve ever heard. Usually he only does it as a way of saying that he?s had enough food, but sometimes I think he does it for fun. I think (hope) that he?s about to get a couple more teeth to match, as he?s been quite grumpy, dribbly, and off his food again, which is what happened with the first two. He?s also waking up every few hours, so I?m exhausted. But he?s learnt to clap, and if he could get a better grip on our floor boards I reckon he?d be close to proper crawling most of the time. It?s just a bit too cold to leave him with bare legs, so he keeps slipping and just ends up doing his commando-ing. It?s so much fun watching him learn new things.
