Babies Born March 2007 #6

Caro – I go to Claude at the Gwelup Medical Centre. His wife is a Paed, and he has young kids, so he is up to date on all the relevant kids info. He is also really lovely with the girls.

Rachel – we have the same routine every night – 6pm - shower/bath; 6.30pm – bottle, story, cuddle; 7pm – wrapped and into bed. Kiss goodnight, music on and leave the room. Nicholas usually doesn’t stir again until about 4.30am.

Sarah – I hope Ari settles down again soon for you. I am lucky that the girls are older and don’t go to bed until 8pm, so we get Nicholas sorted out first, then dinner all together (us and the girls), then the girls are into the bath and stories and bed. It must be hard to do it all on your own and with Xander being so little too. You poor thing! Try to get some sleep tonight, and I really hope for you that Ari sleeps for you tonight, and I hope Xander feels better too!

Cass – I love your masterpiece!!! It is fantastic! What a great idea. That is funny about Oskar eating the paint! We were given a plaster thingo to do Nic’s feet and hands, but haven’t done it yet. We will have to do it soon though, as he is getting so big! By the way, the pics of Oskar are just SOOO gorgeous! His smile is so cheeky.

Well, Nicholas is just a star! We went to the in-laws for dinner last night. He had his bed time bottle there, then went down in the port a cot at about 8pm and didn’t wake up again until we woke him to leave at 11.30pm! He was so good, then he slept in the car on the way home, and went straight to sleep in the cot once we got home. Then, today, we went to my sister’s place to see the baby (so tiny!) and he went down for a sleep in William’s cot (his new cousin) and slept for 1 ½ hours! My mum was so impressed as every time she has seen him he is usually crying (or I am!!) or chucking! Today he was perfect, and smiled and laughed, then slept!

In the mornings now, he is waking up so happy and will talk to himself for about 15 - 20 mins before we need to get him up. He laughs his head off, then babbles away and sucks on his hands - so cute!! I hope everyone is well, take care.
