Byron: You're 6 months old? You're supposed to be the same age as Jude! I feel like we're cheating this month because February is so short Jude will very soon be 5 months old.

Tanya: Let us know how the sleep thing goes, I really really really hope things improve. You're having such a rough time with things.

Jude has started whinging and cringing through formula feeds. So not only has he fought off my boobs but now he's over formula, too??? I'm getting that boy on solids before he starves himself. He's been a bit chucky today. Lots of cottage cheese.

A me post today:
We went to Brisbane yesterday and I spent the day on South Bank, it was so lovely there! I had a beer overlooking some markets, but it was an expensive beer. Then we stayed in the Ibis overnight (get special rates for hubby's work) and they provided a travel cot (cause we don't have one) but it was uncomfortable for Jude and he refused to sleep in it, so we ended up with him between our pillows. His sleeping noises kept me up, but he only needed to be fed at 4.40am and then after getting to sleep reaaallly late (for him) he slept in until hubby's alarm went off at 8am!!!

Jude put his own dummy back in his mouth today. I was sooo proud of him. we just bought an Ikea highchair so I can start feeding him sitting up, because he arches his back when I feed him and he's getting too strong for me to hold him. Yesterday I was feeding him by the pool in South Bank and he pushed himself out of my arms and slid off my lap to the seat beside me and landed on his head, so he has a scratch on his head and I felt sooooo guilty.

Then when I got him back to the hotel we had a bath and Jude pooped in the bath.

He's getting impossible to wrap, so I think it's time for a sleeping bag. I want to buy a Grobag but they're a tad pricey and I'm going to need to buy 2, one for now while it's still hot and one for winter. Does anyone know a cheaper brand that's 100% cotton and where can I buy it?
