Thanks Charly & Celsie.
We need some good news atm, today i am off to get one of my dogs put down. She has been battling cancer quite successfully for last 3months, but, just in the last 2 weeks, she has really started to go down hill. So, before she gets to much worse, i am off to the vets with her today. She will be 9 in April. I guess 3 months was better then the original 2 weeks we where initally given.

Fi - sorry to hear about your DH. I hope it turns out not to be broken! How funny - his patients giving him a serve! Angus sounds like he is doing well. I cant wait for Aiden to be able to sit on his own. He gets so bored now laying down.


Last night, i tried to get Aiden to sleep thru, and resettle without a bottle. He had his dinner at about 6, a bottle at 7.30, and another bottle at 9. He woke again at 11, and i decided NO - you have had enough, so, i just kept resettling him all night. I couldnt sleep anyway, so i figured why not. I ended up giving him a bottle at 3am, which he drank like 10ml, then went back to sleep till about 4.45, when he had another 100or so ml. Then, asleep again till about 6.30, where he grizzled abit for about 5min, and went back to sleep till 8, which is his get up time. I really want him to stop needing a bottle to resettle during the night. If i end up being preg, I am going to need my sleep! So, time for some tuff love.

Hi Girls,

Feathertop - Good old Angus, commando crawling! Lewis is at the rocking stage and like debbie i can't wait for him to crawl as he too gets bored and really frustrated. I wonder why Angus is not into solids yet, I suppose they are all different, he must love his milk instead! I have one of those mesh things but I find it just turns to juice and gets so messy, I think I will try apple tomorrow.

Debbie - Sorry to hear about your dog
It seems Aiden doesn't want milk then when he wakes if he is only having 100 ml or so. That's good a good sign though because if you are training him to go back to sleep again, hopefully it will only take a few nights and he will sleep through. I stopped dreamfeeding Lewis when he started solids and he didn't notice! Weird to think he stopped 200 ml and didn't care. He now sleeps 7pm-5am so that's great.

Lewis is 9kg now, I get comments all the time about what a big boy he is! My friend has a 21 month old who is only 10kg! They all come in different packages hey?!

Anyway hope everyone has a nice long weekend.
