ss_storm - I look on ebay periodically, but haven't yet seen anything that either fits what I'm looking for or seems reasonably priced... He's now got a couple of black long-sleeved bodysuits which make him look really mean but I can put t-shirts over the top if it's a bit chilly. The way he's growing atm he'll be into the next size soon anyway!

Also, isn't it nice when they can entertain themselves in their cot for a while? I've done the same with Zac and he seems quite happy chattering away to himself for a while.

jetta - I reckon being without the internet is almost worse than not having a phone!

Miss E - I think it's around this age that they start becoming aware of themselves as individuals rather than seeing everything around them as just extensions of themselves?

Jasp - it will be interesting to see how much she has grown considering the big jump in feeding!

Ryatha - Z is 4 months this weekend too and we are going to try him on some baby rice - he seems to be needing more food lately too, and has been watching us eat for a while...

AFM - OMG 4 months already!!! We had our 4 month MCHN check up yesterday - he is now 6.6 kg and 66.7cm long - average weight for a 4 month old but in the 100th percentile for his length! I think we are going to have to go up to the next size in nappies as we are getting more frequent leakage

He is so much more interactive now and his face lights up when he sees me or DH. He hasn't done any full on laughing yet - more a grunty sort of chuckle, but he's very smiley most of the time. DH's grandmother flew over from NZ yesterday to meet her two new great-grandchildren - v exciting to see her. 85 years old and she's such a cool old lady!

better go and have a shower while Z's asleep - like everyone else by the sound of it, the sleeps are getting shorter and further apart...
