Hey girls!!

Haven't posted for a few days. Have had mum and dad down visiting, kids' birthday parties and the family picnic day for my work (still got an invite even though we're on mat leave) so had a very busy, tiring weekend!!

L has been good. Did our last visit at sleep school on Friday and we've officially 'graduated'! The nurse told us there is no need for us to come back because L is a good little boy who sleeps like any other 4 month old - YEY!! Still doing a little bit of resettling during the day but generally his sleeps are 1.5-2hrs now and only occasionally will he do a short sleep where I can't resettle him. A big improvement from the early days. Nights still the same, wakes at about 10pm and then at about 2pm then sleeps through till 5am, sometimes 6am. Not expecting much change here till he's established on solids. Have accepted that he is just a big hungry boy!! Thinking of starting him on Farex next month, but will see how he goes.

In other news, it's turned into a total roller derby here! Cannot keep the boy still! He rolls everywhere. Had a few problems with him in bed the first few days but that seems to have settled. Would love to stop wrapping him at night and switching over to his grobag, but too scared about the dummy factor, although he only really has that when I first put him to bed, settles without it after feeds.

We've also moved from feed, play, sleep routine to feed, play, sleep, play. Now that he's a bit older and he's awake more, if I feed him as soon as he wakes, it's a bit too soon so we've started stretching it out a bit. Seems to be working fine.

He has also learnt to squeal in the last few days...joy! Sounds like he?s being murdered at times. He's just woken up from a big sleep now and is in bed squealing!!

Have to book his 4 month needles in this week, he was 4 months on Saturday.


Twinsis - Sleep school is just a general term for places like Tresillian, Ngala etc here where you take your bubs if you are having sleeping/settling issues and they help you work them out. Love Cameron's hair!! We have crazy hair too, just heaps of it and curly and stands on end on the top!

Hoody - glad to hear you?re still b?feeding. Hoping for a big weight gain for Molly this week! Have you tried the Aktavite? I brought it a few days ago and can tell the difference, especially in the mornings. I just drink it once or twice a day.

June - so glad that you found tresillian helpful! Have heard about that online thingo, should check it out.

Dragonbub, Suse, everyone else ? hi!!
