Evening everyone!

We had some visitors this arvo and Kieran was so hyper-alert after they left that he wouldn't go to sleep, he just kept crying so I just gave him a bath and rubbed some nice Gaia moisturiser on him because it has lavender in it. I put him back to bed and he is out to it, phew!

Mickyndan - Welcome to the October group! That's so great your bub sleeps through, I hope your eldest does soon for you too!

Kim - Great to see you back in here! I love hearing about your gorgeous girls

Celtic - LOL at your spontaneous combustion comment! That's great that Ryan loves daycare, it will make it much easier to drop him in there each time.

Have a great night everyone!

Hey all

Lochie had his vax today too. Had 3 needles and the oral dose. He cried a little but I nursed him in my arms afterwards and he was looking up at me and smiling. I guess I am forgiven. He has been sleeping alot this afternoon tho so I think that might be a reaction. He is now 4.59kilos. He put on 400gr over the last fortnight.

I'll try to go through the posts as I remember them:
Kim - welcome back stranger. Glad to hear all goes well.
Trish - I am using Tommee Tippee dummies now. I read somewhere else on here that cherry ended ones were recommended. We were using Avent ones that are thinner.
Rebecca - I'll give your suggestion a go
Alz- look forward to hearing how the dummy weaning goes. Any tips???
Mickey - welcome. Look forward to hearing more about your kids. I am also a Brissy girl, live in Bardon.
Misskate/Becky - I can only do Friday next week. Any day the week after is fine with me. Happy to miss this one if everyone wants to meet up next week.
KateP - bummer about the mastitis. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Christenings. DH isn't religious. We were married by a celebrant as DH felt it would be wrong to get married in a church, when he doesn't believe and I don't attend a church. I feel it would be hypocritical to go to one just to get L bapitised and then not follow through with regular church attendance and religious instruction. My parents let me decide if I wanted to be christened, and I was when I was 10.

My niece had a civil naming ceremony. I don't know if we would do one for L. I think it's a bit naff and really don't see the point. I agree it is more of an opportunity for family and friends to get together and celebrate the birth of the child. Isn't this what birthdays are for?? Anyway that's my thought.

That's it from me.
