OMG Jessica - you must've been exhausted yesterday! WTG on the pressies though. I'm still unsure of what to get! I'm seriously thinking about that house thing too though after you pointed it out. You are way too organised! Bummer about Tate only cat napping again.

Cass - Oskar looks very happy in his Bumbo. So cute!

Well, my DH spoilt me again yesterday. I had asked for a small digital camera so that I could chuck it in my bag and have it with me always just in case Grace does something worth photographing. We have a fancy digital camera but it is big and bulky and not practical to take out. He got me this fancy schmancy one that is about the size of a mobile phone and has so many features it's unbeleivable. Gave it a test run at mother's group today, very cool! Unfortunately I can't say Grace was as kind to me on my birthday. It started in the morning. She fed as per usual at 5.30am then went back to sleep. She woke at 8.30am which is perfect, I opened my presents then wandered off to her room to give her her feed. Not interested. Started crying, but happy once I stopped trying to feed her. 9.30 comes and goes still not interested in feeding - very unusual for Grace to go this long first thing in the morning. She starts yawning and rubbing her eyes like she is tired but still won't feed. Wondering whether I should be worried but decided no as she was quiet when I wasn't trying to feed her. Finally at 10.30 she started to get grizzly so tried to feed her and she fed finally. We thought goodo--oops to us. She would not sleep all day. She would fall asleep in our arms but wake when we put her down so when we got to my parents house at 6.30 she had had 30minutes of sleep all day!! Then she was full of smiles for my family, very cute but she was so so tired. Fed her again before trying to put her down for the night - she fed well, fell asleep in my arms very quickly, went to put her in cot - woke screaming. DH tried - same thing. Had to hold her during tea which we haven't done for ages. Then tried to put her down again and that is when all hell broke lose. Grace through the biggest temper tantrum I have ever seen her do. She was screaming so loud that her voice cracked! She was absolutely beside herself, shoving her hand in her mouth, wiggling around, screaming. This continued for 30 minutes. I ended up feeding her again hoping it would settle her, she fed well but as soon as it was over she was screaming again. I started to get worried that there was more going on than just being overtired as she had never screamed like it before. Needless to say I ended up in tears which obviously didn't help the situation. Even DH was getting a bit stressed which is very unlike him. We ended up packing up and leaving early as we didn't know what else to do. We had driven about 20 metres down the road and she was asleep!! It was terrible, so do not want a repeat of that again. I have put it down to her being so tired that she just didn't know what to do. Poor thing. I have scratches on my chest from where she grabbed me!! Today we have had more sleep but not in her cot, she really doesn't want to sleep in her cot in the day. So I have decided that I do not want a repeat of last night, so as long as she sleeps - be it on the couch, on the floor or in her rocker, I don't care during the day, as long as she sleeps!

Oh dear, I have blabbed on. Sorry about that.

Had mother's group again today - a wonderful array of food was again served. Grace was such a good girl, full of smiles then slept on the couch for an hour and a half! Bliss. Out for dinner and a movie tomorrow which should be nice. Hope everyone else is having a good day. Enjoy your weekend ladies.
