Well after the disaster of last week's Mothers Group, L was a star today. We went to a park and spread out some picnic rugs and bubs did heaps of tummy time. It was great to see him interacting with his little friends. I love Queensland in April - still warm during the day and mild at night.

Had a bit of a battle getting him to sleep just now as the poor thing was so exhausted. I expect he will sleep well for a few hours at least.

Nothing much else happening. Hopefully tonight will be better sleep wise, but I doubt it.

saffi glad u had a good day at mums group!

Trish- your doing so well, considering how tough K has been in the last 2 months.
do you think seeing a DIFFERENT MCHN or gp may be of benefit? maybe there is something else that they just not picking up on?? Its hard to pick up typing convos over face to face but i got the feeling maybe you think there is something more they havent come across??
Mothers know best and if you have a gut feeling about anything i would get him checked out again.
But i do hope a tooth or 2 or 3 come through soon and his reslesness subsides.

Tyron has just slid his way across the entire rumpis room backwards lol! he pushes his arms up and then slips back.
oh and the little monkey got up on all fours yesterday!! once he did it once he just kept doing it and doing it.....i rekon he wants to get on the move and play with his bro. he is so different to Nix personality wise. Nixon always did and still does gets very frustrated and upset when he cannot do something first go, where as tyron just keeps at it quietly and peacefully until he gets what he wants to!

yesterday i think i barely put him down... his top 2 are coming through and he didnt want to be alone. thismorning he started the aweful teeth grinding ahhhh

[YoYo]

I FINALLY FIGURED HIM OUT!!!!!!

My kid was STARVING!!!

Yesterday he ate LOADS and slept from 7pm till 5am straight...can't believe I didn't cotton on sooner!

Who put me in charge anyway!! Rubbish!

SO HAPPY! The whinging is gone and my happy Maxxy is back...YAY!

Nic how cute of Tyron, M is like Nixon cracks it's if she can't do something 1st time.

Saffi glad mother group was better this time.

We had a good night, went down 7pm woke up 6:30am.

Hope everyone else had a good night.

[ninja_turtle]

hooray for not having a starving baby!

piggy mcgoo round here has upped his frequency a couple of times so we may be able to try solids soon.

i got 7-12 12-5 out of him last night - do not add the fact that the husband had a night terror at 4.45 and probably woke the boy up. do not add also the fact that the bloody cat came in and was picking the carpet.

my one shot at sleep destroyed. boo hoo.... oh woe is me.

maybe the wretched sleep banshee is moving on from the babies? (still no teeth here)

[~Trish~]

Evenin' all! It's been pretty quiet in here today, none of my usual ramblings to fill up the page LOL!

I've had a much better day today, I started feeling better after all your lovely words of support yesterday, so thanks again everyone! K had two long naps today which is miraculous, his second nap went for two hours! Unheard of for a long time. He is barely rubbing his ear now too, so those drops must have worked their magic. Tonight was the first evening in a week that K wasn't a clingy, crying child so it has been much more relaxing around here!

I gave him pumpkin with his rice cereal tonight and he vacuumed it down. He is such a little guts and eats everything I give him. I cooked up some sweet potato too so I'll probably give him that tomorrow. I finally had the time today to make up some food for him, I have put it in ice cube trays in the freezer.

Viv - I hope J does another good night for you. I have had sooo many nights where K has done well, but Joel or DH have kept me awake instead .

Mo - Maddi is such a good sleeper, you are so lucky!

Julia - Glad to hear you have unlocked the secret to Max! These bubs keep us guessing don't they?

Nic - I hope it's just teething causing all these probs! Tyron is so clever scooting around!!

Saffi - How are your nights going?

Hi to everyone else, I'm going to bed early again!
