Mackenzie has slept in her cot for the past 3 nights!!!!!!!! I am so happy its just great! The cot is right next to our bed with the side off and she can touch me if she needs to, but she goes into her cot without crying at all which is a HUGE step for us. I am going to keep the side off for a month or so, then well put the side on untill she gets used to it. Eventually I am hoping she go into her own room but for the moment I am just so glad we are making progress. She still wakes up at least 3 times a night but at least its not 5-6 times like it used to be!

We have started weetbix in the mornings and she gags, does anyones elses baby do this? Do I just keep giving it to her and she'll get used to it? She doesnt gag if I make it runny like water but she's almost 8 months and I think we need to move on from the runny puree consistency.

Going out today to buy a fitball and a tennis racquet and DH and I are going to start playing a few times a week, so that will be fun and great for the weight loss too!

Ashlee :: My DD used to do this about hmmm 3-4 time a night .. but she just wanted the boobie instead of the bottle. I just found it easier to give it to her, than stress us both out! She is slowwwly does it less and less (waking up) but I think its because I am increasing her solids more now. Maybe he has teeth comming through and needs some comfort?

Sangie :: I have no idea about the teeth, I am just guessing with Kenzie aswell. I have been saying shes teething for the past 4 months! LOL

Tanstar :: I would say that Izzy is definatly getting used to you working and not being around as much. I am sure in a few weeks you will have both settled into a nice routine .. its so hard going back to work so early. Sometimes new mums at the nursery that I used to work at would take a little while before they got the swing of things. At least its Friday and you can have a break tomorrow!

Nurse Dan :: Sounds like you need a glass of wine and a nice relaxing bath!

kass_20 :: Your DP's brother inlaws sisters would have been wrapped! Did they end up sharing the big win? I am so unlucky whe it come to luck lotto or bingo, I think the most I have won is $50 once!

Shellbelle :: Wow you work 12 hour shifts! You must be soo exhausted by the time you get home. I can't imagine working that long and having 3 kids at home, you really deserve the title "supermum"!

When Kenzie was younger I was worried because she was waaayy under weight for her height, but she was a happy and healthy baby meeting all her other milestones no problems. I think those books sometimes cause unnessessary worry. Thanks for the sleeping dust I think some of it reached us last night !! YAY!

Sweetpeajan :: Julian sounds like hes keeping you busy!I am definatly in the same boat as you with the crawling to anything and everything. Kenzies favourite thing to do is crawl to the entertainment unit and open and close the draws, one of these days she is going to get her fingers stuck Nice to hear from you and little Julian.

Hubba_Bubba :: Welcome to our little group!

So much to do so little time! Its 12 midnight and I started writing this post this morning! OMG I just realised that Kenzie went to sleep at about 8.30pm and has been asleep all this time!!! I wonder if tonight will be the *sleep through the night* night!!!!

I love this time of night. Only time I get to myself I think I might do some scrapbooking ...
