Hi everyone. Back from the Hunter and already wishing we could go on another holiday!!

Mikayla was really good - she had a great first holiday! She slept right through the night in her portable cot which was wonderful- I wish I could work out why she doesnt do that at home!!

Sarah I take back what I said before we left. Mikayla is now crawling properly . She was going a hundred miles an hour while we were away. I think it was the carpet that did it. We have tiles and floorboards in our house with a rug for her to play on but I think the cushiony surface encouraged her to take the plunge!! There really is no stopping her now

Oh and I mentioned that we were trying to get her to say dada... My parents came to the Hunter with us and all the way there in the car my mum was trying to get her to say it - then all of a sudden she started to say "baba". My mum would say "dada" and Mikayla would reply "baba". I'm sure she thinks she's saying it right. It was very cute but she hasnt shut up since We have a talkative little girl on our hands now! And... she's continuously trying to stand up - she pulls herself up onto everything!!!

Charly I hope the girls have settled down for you now and you've managed to get some well deserved rest

Jen great to hear from you and congrats on Kenzie's tooth - they're growing up so fast!!

Zofia - LOL at that poor little boy - he must have been mortified

Have any of the other bubs had bad dreams at all??? Mikayla seems to be really unsettled at night, crying and moaning in her sleep, and a couple of times has woken up and I've found her scrambling to get out of her cot (even did it in the portable cot the other day). When I pick her up she goes straight back to sleep on my shoulder but makes these little squinting faces in her sleep like she's seeing something scary! I cant imagine what she'd be dreaming about but I feel terrible for her. Not sure if she's in pain (possibly teething) or is just having bad dreams. Any insight???

My little munchkin is getting sleepy so better go put her to bed and hope she stays there for the night. Take care all xx
