OK guys.. I am finally here! I'll just do an update on Tallon.. and get that out of the way.. then I can personals! I can't even remember what I posted last!

Umm... ok.. Tallon had his needles a couple of weeks ago.. and he was fine. Was whingy the next day, but other than that was fine.

He's starting to sit up well now. I'm finding he suddenly does things. Like tummy time was a nightmare for a long time, and I used to worry that he wouldn't progress coz he'd just cry whenever on his tummy.. then one day he lifted his head up and has a great ol' time on his tummy now. Still very rarely rolling.. and still not back to front. But yeah.. his sitting seems to be suddenly happening. I swear.. you've only got to blink and you miss something! hehe.

Oh a funny thing.. yesterday mum was here and was talking to him.. "hello Tallon" and he said "haaa ooooh" LOL. OMG it sounded like hello! LOL.

Sleeping - is still up and down. He has a few wakeful nights, then he sleeps through for a few nights.. then he's wakeful again. At least he sleeps through occasionally and it keeps me sane! I'm also finding it hard to know how to dress him and wrap him in this weather. Coz upstairs it's quite warm now, but it turns cold through the night. So if I dress him and wrap him in the evening.. he ends up a sweaty blob and wakes up.. yet if I underdress him.. we wakes up cold later in the morning. I've tried sleeping him unwrapped.. which is improving, but he doesn't stay asleep as long, so ultimately he's still being wrapped.

Teeth - nowhere to be seen! LOL. He's chomping ever more furiously on things and dribbling a whole lot.. but there's no signs of teeth.

Crawling - nah.. nowhere near I don't think. Altho the rate we're going.. he'll probably suddenly get up and crawl! hehe. He's kicking his legs a lot tho when on his tummy, so he'll suddenly get grip on the floor and move forward one day.

Eating - well, I bought some rice cereal yesterday and some pureed apple. *sigh*. He is soooo ready.. I'm not sure I'll be stretching him to the 10th to make it 6 months exactly! LOL. He was sucking on DH's apple the other day, and absolutely LOVED it. Screamed when we took it away.. and he doesn't do that when we take toys off him! But after talking to the community nurse today, I'm actually looking forward to having my little man start eating I was really surprised at how quickly they progress from pureed to mashed, to self feeding! And coz I've waited out the 6 months, he'll progress quite quickly. I have a feeling his gonna lurve his food. hehe.

Like I said, we saw the nurse today, he now weighs 7.6kg clothed, and is 66cm long! And of course she thinks he's a very handsome boy *proud mum* LOL.

Ok.. that was a quick run down! Will try and keep up to date now!

Oh! The other thing I was going to say was that he now baths in the big bath! He still doesn't quite know what to do wtih all that space and water! LOL. He very seriously lifts his legs up and slams them down to make a big splash.. and of course I get saturated.. but I can't say he's having 'fun' yet.. he's all too serious! LOL.
