Morning all

Happy 6 months to Maddi for yesterday. L turns 5 months tomorrow. Can't believe how quickly the time has passed (tho some days it has gone really slowly LOL).

Nic - hope you are feeling a bit better.
Willow - glad you had a great holiday. I was also away for a week and had a great time. Funny tho being a mum I now realise it is true that a mum's work is never done even when on hols.
Trish - gonna check out the Ergo. While away I used our carrier a lot. Now that L is getting bigger it is getting harder to carry him for long periods. Also seems that our carrier doesn't suit DH's body type so I end up carrying him all the time.
Ange - got to get me one of those mesh bags. One of my MG groups was talking about it and really recommended them. L isn't on solids yet, but like the idea of perhaps getting him used to different flavours without all the mess. Also would be good once he starts teething. Frozen grapes in the bags seem to be popular for teething.

I'm having one of those days today. I think the excitement of being away has worn off and the realisation that I only have a month left at home before going back to work is hitting me. L has just gone down for a sleep so I will try and get myself together and be a happy mum by the time he wakes up. Sorry to sound so down. *gives self a shake*

On the up side tho I think I have worked out the secret to L sleeping thru. For the past 3 nights I have got him up at about 10pm and kept him up for at least an hour before feeding and putting him back. Last night he went down at just after 11pm and went thru 4.30am (but got him up at 5am). The night before it was about 11.15pm and thru to about 4am. I'm gonna keep doing it if it means no more 2am wakings.
