Hi All

Autumn is having second naps and has been down for 40mins - hope I didn't jinx myself by mentioning it...

Jo - It's weird and scary to start thinking about solids - I'm looking forward to it but I also don't want to give up the baby baby stage. I think I might hold off for a while longer but at the same time I can't wait! I suppose that means a high chair is the next expense...

Jem - I soaked her in a bi-carb bath yesterday, and overnight it's turned rainy so it's much cooler - the rash has settled down a lot today. I think I'll have to get used to it though, with her hair and fat rolls, and our weather. Thanks for asking. I haven't got a clue about the TAB either - good luck today and enjoy your relax.

Em - too funny about the affair!

I did jinx myself - I can hear her. Oh what to do? If I leave her she might go back to sleep or,equally, she might pull her wrap off and put it over her face (can't seem to help herself) Wish I had a video monitor.

Rebecca - I don't know why but Autumn's bedtime has always been 6.30pm and when I think about it, that's when she was born and went straight to sleep for the night then so maybe she just has that as her biological clock time. On the other hand, I deliberately set up a routine of bath, feed, bed starting at 5.30 and it's a 'which came first? thing I guess' I did try and keep her up later to see if she would sleep longer periods but that didn't work.

Speaking of which, she just started crying so I'd better go in...

I'm back and I got her back to sleep! Please let her stay that way

Good luck to everyone who's having a bet today!
