Morning all!

Caught up on some sleep. Went to bed really early last night and the next thing I know its 6am and the dogs and L are both crying. DH says that L did stir overnight and whinged a bit but put himself back to sleep without any attention. So, maybe tonight I will forego the dreamfeed and when he whinges take a wait and see approach. Poor thing was so hungry though he was arms outstretched in front of the microwave as we waited for his bottle.

Trish - hear ya on the bomb site. Now that L can stand nothing is safe. Keep meaning to clear the coffee table but then get distracted by something else.
Viv - I'm a stage mum too. L isn't pushing anything yet but it won't be long.

Oh, I think I have a musician in the making. For DH's birthday he got Rockband (like Guitar Hero but also with a drum kit and karoke function). So the drum sticks were on the coffee table and L picks them up properly and starts hitting the coffee table with them. Prefer he didn't become a drummer but might need to encourage his musical ability with other instruments.

Ange - sometimes we can put L down in his cot awake and he will fall asleep on his own but other times he needs to be nursed/patted in our laps. Really good now at picking his tired signs so that really assists in the process. He has a cuddly toy that he always holds when he goes to sleep and its so cute when he rubs it on his face or holds its arm.
Dianne - I didn't realise that you had older kids. How are you finding it being a mum to a bub again? I'd be scared too if L held his breath like that. Why do they do that? L's latest trick is to blow air out of his mouth - kind of like a whistle crossed with a pant. So cute.

Anyway, should take advantage of this quiet time and have a shower or do something productive.

Have a good day.
