trish - i've remembered something else my sis said about biters... if you look right at them for the whole feed and watch what the tongue is doing. they have to retract the tongue to get a good bite, so be at the ready with the pinky finger.

i remember james doing this with his gums, giving me a good nyung or two. it was because i was looking round the room, reading or whatever. once i focused on him again and sniffled at his hand or whatever, he stopped it.

god help us all if he takes to teeth biting.

babies... well, i've changed my mind. that was quick. i looked around my house yesterday, and it's a tip. there are so many things i just don't get to ... and how exactly will a newborn enable me to get to those things or cope? it won't.

i am nuts.

the urge to babify is ridiculous and illogical. stupid primal yearnings. it just rumbles away underneath the logical brain... saying... just do it....

so, no.. baby off menu for time being.

*looks at clean washing mountains to be folded*

*looks at last week's folded washing in baskets to be put away*

*looks at cakey legs of high chair to be scrubbed*

*looks at inside of eyelids*

we were up 4 times again last night. my guesses are:

1. the top #2 is doing what #1 did last week (destroy fabric of household)

2. he's working on walking which apparently increases separation anxieties....

bleh.
