cate - have you tried ebay for some clothes? dont know how you feel about 2nd hand clothes, but I've picked up a few things (that look brand new) off there for summer, and a couple of things for cooler weather. stupid shops! They started bringing out their summer stock before winter was even over here!

Tinsel - we have probably had about 10 nights of sleeping through (not consecutive..I wish!). Usually she wakes at about 2 or 3 in the morning for a feed, although lately it has taken a while for her to go back to sleep again. She has started waking up at around 7 in the morning...it used to be at about 8 and I am missing my sleep ins! Although at least we can take the dog for a walk before it gets too hot...we've gone from wintery weather last week to middle of summer weather this week, it's crazy!

Sloane- sounds like you'll be running after corey very soon! can he go from his tummy to his back? Hayley is great at back to tummy but gets stuck and starts whinging after a few minutes because she is stuck on her tummy..will be good when she figures out how to roll onto her back herself!

MamaPan- hope you have fun at the beach! Enjoy your break.

Miss E- I've found lately that Hayley is getting very grumpy by the end of the day. problem is she just won't sleep for longer than 40 mins usually. I can try resettling her either before or after she wakes but as soon as she sees me she is smiling and chatting away! Yesterday I think the heat must have knocked her around a bit, she had her normal short morning sleeps but then two big sleeps in the afternoon, went to bed at 7, woke at 8 but I managed to get her back to sleep without getting her up and she slept until 3 this morning.

Ryatha- hope you are feeling better, and I agree, your DH has a lot to catch up on...his turn for the housework for the next 9 weeks! Lol

Heva- that sounds fairly normal, I wouldn't worry too much. He is interacting with people, to me I think that is more important than interacting with toys iykwim. Hayley was a bit the opposite, up until a few weeks ago she wasn't really happy to just lie there while I talked to her and played with her, she had to be doing something or have a toy in her hand. Now we spend lots of time on the floor together having great conversations (lol) and she is now quite interested in what I'm doing. As the others have said, all babies are different, so I guess as long as you can see that he is developing (even if it may be slower than 'normal') then I wouldn't worry about it. At least people are a cheap form of entertainment!

Jess- hope you are going ok too. Hopefully you can get your washing machine fixed asap! I know my laundry basket starts overflowing if I leave it a couple of days without washing!

Not much new here...hayley is rolling around all over the place and I'm going to have to start keeping a closer eye on her or she just might roll away! I have found a group of mums in Wagga so will go to one of their meets soon. One of the ladies already contacted me, she is the same age as me and has a few other mummy friends around the same age so has invited me to join them as well, which is good but a bit scary...I'm not the best at getting to know new people! It's probably more for Hayley's benefit than mine, but it will be nice to have some IRL people I can hang out with.
