Hi!

Well Louis is so close to crawling!! He basically is but not quite properly. He can get to a toy the other side of the room but he sort of shuffles both knees along rather than one at a time!! So exciting - we haven't done any baby proofing yet though so I suppose I better get on to it.
Has everyone lowered the cot down? If Louis is sitting up he always stands up in there but he hasn't worked out how to sit up yet. But yesterday he had rolled on to his tummy and was holding on to the bars so I figure it won't be long.....
Louis has been a bit funny screaming at certain points through the night. We had him up after 40min into his night sleep for about 45min before putting him back down and then at 5.20am this morning I fed him (he didn't feed well last night...) and he wanted to wake up which just wasn't going to happen as he didn't go to bed until 8.30pm. Anyway I ended up cc him, which I know a lot of you don't agree with but...it took about 20min (I went in 3-4x in that time) and he went back to sleep for an hour and 40min! Which I was grateful for. I think we're going to have to do that at night as well as there''s nothing wrong with him when he does it. As soon as you touch him he stops and looks like he's trying to go to sleep. I feel guilty because I could just cuddle him or let him sleep with us, but dh and I end up sleeping so badly. I mean if he gets worked up I give him a cuddle but I don't cuddle him to sleep iykwim? Anyway...

Nikki - I hope you have a great day! Ooh a nice new watch sounds great! Sorry to hear about your cat....Hope Chantelle slept well for you for your b'day!

Linda - I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. That's great that she sleeps well with you though. She must just want ther mummy with her. As long as you get enough sleep and it works I would just keep her in your bed...You know they'll all grow out of it and we'll all be silly enough to go and have another one - hehehe!!! I hope your keeping on top of it all. I know I get so frustrated easily now at night just because it's been nearly 8m of it! It really starts to wear you down....:hugs:

Kell/Kerrie - I make my pumpkin soup with pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, leek and those little red lentil things...mmmh yum I feel like it now! hehe
