Well, I'm happy to report that E's first day in FDC was a Roaring Success! She had a lovely time at playgroup this morning and was quite happy to go home and have some rice milk and a good sleep then eat her lunch then mummy arrived! The FDC lady was relieved too, I think she was worried about how much labour a small bub would be so it was nice for her that E was so easy.

More good news - my sis is coming to visit us in the July school hols - I'm soo excited, she doesn't fly much (paranoid) so it will be lovely to show her the sights and to take our neice up to the snow too!

Renee, commando crawling is just as good as regular crawling because they still get that cross hatch movement with their arms. LOL at needing instruction manual for your new model. I suggest you reboot it and see what happens LOL.

Not sure yet how useful the osteopathy has been. She's had several really long sleeps (ie from 2.45 to 6.30 last night) but we still had two hours of horror up until 2.45. Aaah my whole head hurts today. I wish you could get 'sleep in a pill' - just pop one of those babies for every hour of sleep you've missed and it would all be ok *sigh*. I'm trying to get zen about the crying and just concentrate on the settling but at 1.30 in the morning it's crazy-making.

Noni, woohoo on Asha's crawling - how exciting. You're about to find out how baby proof your house is (or not) LOL.

Clare, I'm with Pregpan. I'd still go and see the paed but really and truly don't worry about it in the meantime. Sounds like she's doing really well with everything else.

Pregpan - oh I'm so glad they're taking a poo sample, it will soon be clear what the problem is and then they'll be able to better treat it. Try not to worry too much, he will get better!! Glad the doctor was so switched on too. It makes all the difference. In the meantime big cos it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job of caring for Noah when he's sick.

Leanne enjoy the birthday party! I'm going to have to start thinking about what we'll do for E's birthday, given Daddy will be away o/seas. Might have to pop home for a few days for a family party.

Sherie, yes you will definitely have to pop up for a day! Sorry to hear A has been so unsettled, I'm increasingly convinced it's the teeth that are the root of all our problems!!
