Hi gals, sure is quiet in here lately! We must all be busy!!

Thanks for the advice girls.

Kate, how are things? Are the girls sleeping any better yet?

Tegan, have a great holiday. Wow at Charlie, what a great eater!

Belinda, Cooper sounds like he'll have you running around after him in no time.

Marion, wow, Kirsten is another great eater!

I think Tom is nearly ready for solids too. Getting teeth is usually one of the signs and no 3 is now on its way. Also he is starting to grab at food and seems to be drinking more. I will wait until he's 6 months which is only a couple of weeks away now anyway, but I think by then he will be ready, unlike Jack who wasn't interested until 8 or 9 months. And then the first thing he really liked was yoghurt and he had an allergic reaction!

Tom is still only sleeping through some nights. He did last night (well, until 5:40 anyway). But then he went to bed late (around 6 instead of 4 - 5pm). I would like to put him down later more often but he's just too tired. It only worked yesterday as we were out anyway.

The boys are both doing well atm. Jack is saying the cutest things, out of the blue he'll say things like "oh my goodness" or "that's funny" in such an adult tone. And Tom is smiling and laughing all the time, except when he's crying with a sore mouth!

We are still waiting to find out if the house is going ahead. We have been so stuffed around. I'm so over it now. Hopefully it will all be resolved one way or the other on Monday. Basically the bank has promised to LOOK at our application then. We applied on Feb 22 and have just asked for our 3rd extension on the contract and they are going to deign to LOOK at it on Monday. Actually I'm furious - and when we paid our last mortgage out with them they told us we were good customers and would love to give us another mortgage. And then they treat us like this! Monday will probably be too late as the vendors said last time they wouldn't agree to another extension. So probably on Monday we will get a call from the lawyer saying sorry, the contract has crashed. I wonder if we can sue the bank for mental anguish...
