Lee- its so funny when they "drag" themselves around! I didn't think Iz would crawl either because she was able to get to where she wanted SO fast by just pulling herself everywhere, but she has worked out crawling........kind of!! Haha she crawls on hands and FEET! Heehee so unco! Yay for Ethyns first tooth - so cute!!

Kass- I love this pic too, its a bit serious for my Iz but she just looks so cute!! When you are resizing your pics for Lilypie, go to whatever program you have for editing, make pixel size no bigger than 600x400 and DPI 72. Good luck! Yay for Europe! You lucky girl! Where do you think you will go and when? Have fun planning!

Danni- Yay for Mason hun! I really hope its a turn for you and he starts sleeping better for you. Its soo tough. Hope you are ok hunny. How is the househunting going??


Dan- How are you going? Hope Livvy is doing well and you are feeling like you care getting into a bit more of a routine with work hun.

Shell- I hope DD's party goes well today!! I was thinking a summer baby would be fun! My birthday is in July and we had a pool and I hated it because I always wanted a pool party but couldnt have one!! Maybe a Feb baby!! I still generally do feed first, but thats just because my booby monster is 3 hourly and it works out ok, occasionally brekkie will be before a feed though. She has brekkie, lunch, dinner and an afternoon snack like yoghurt, cruit or cruskits. Im thinking about fruit,yoghurt or custard after dinner too now. Anything to try and stop her waking twice a night!! I didnt mention it in my last few posts, but Im so sorry to hear about the little bubs who didnt make it when you were working. That would be soooo hard, I dont know how you do it, but I do know that you, Dan and all midwives are just absolutely wonderful and really do such an amazing job.

Lis - it is exhausting isn't it. I think its the strain of making sure Ive packed everything for her, written down all the instructions for her and told everything to mum that I need to. That all takes sooo long! I used to be one of those people that got up at the lastest possible minute for, work, hitting snooze a million times, then jumping in the shower, dressed and in the car. No brekkie - coffee once I got there!! Heehee! Now I know that once I officially start I will have to get up as Al leaves and give myself at least 1.5-2 hours to get ready!

Lulu- Yay for Izzy! What a clever little chooky hun, and it will be handy for you if she is walking well once Ned comes along too! (I think!? Not having 2 kids Im not sure but it kinda makes sense?! :P) She is little isnt she but I really dont think Iz is that far off really, she was 7.3 at her last checkup but shes really thinned down a bit since she has started crawling and standing on everything. LIttle wonder - shes so active the whole time shes awake! Oooh yay for mum moving closer too!!!! Thats great news!!

Jen - so good to hear from you! How is the sleeping going?? Stuff the "rod for your own backers" Im getting that now because she wont go back to sleep at night without a feed and we are struggling with that. Which suburb or area did you move to?? Maybe we should organise a Melbourne Map catch up when Sarah is here next!

Sarah! Hi hunny! How are you?? How is Noah going?? I hope you guys can come to Melbourne soon, that really sucks about your friend, I hate it when plans are cancelled at the last minute like that. How is work going - are you still getting a nice amount of orders coming in??

Ashi- 8 teeth! Thats amazing!! What a big boy Blake is and Happy 9mths a bit belated though!! for mozzie bites, the poor thing. Its so hard when there isnt much you can do. I hope you are doing super dooper well though hun.

Cant go back much further - Ive been soo flat out this week, and am back to work Tuesday "officially" so Im going to make the most of Al being home for the next few days - usually he works 6 days a week.
We are having a few friends here for a bbq and to listen to the hottest 100 on Triple J and it looks like a hot one so lots of pool today I think.

Izzy is cruising along so well - its such a fun age, I spend all day lying on the floor with her playing games and laughing while she climbs all over me! She has 3 teeth, and I cant wait to get her weighed, Im guessing she will have only just broken the 8kg mark. I think we are gonna tough love it again and stop these night feeds. I think Im gonna get Al to do all the settling initially because if I go in she gets angry that shes getting me but not booby. Ugh its soo hard.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY ALL!!! Have a great weekend!
