Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome (especially since I had just admitted to being a lurker!!!).

Motherhood seems to be treating me well so far. I often read your posts and realise how lucky DH and I are. Ally has always been a pretty good feeder and sleeper. We are just entering the wonderful world of solids. The past few days she has developed a love of yoghurt and I have found if she has a good serving of it before bedtime she tends to sleep a bit longer (still have one or two nightfeeds though) which may back up a PP about low and high GI diets. She is has perfected the art of commando crawling and is now starting to pull herself up onto her feet using whatever is nearby. She has two bottom teeth that have cut through but still have some growing to do.... they are sharp little things too! Our only worry is the fact she only has one kidney which has seen her go through lots of tests and scans but so far what she has is working ok so we just have to keep an eye on things. We're starting water orientation classes next week which should be a bit of fun as well.

To all the tired mummies, I hope your bubbas sleep well tonight

Hayley.... it's cool to think that our little girls share a birthday and from what I have read, they seem to be developing at a similar pace.

Gotta dash because I can hear Ally calling out for some attention!
