Hi all

It's been a bit busy in my world recently as we have had Rhys back at the hospital as he had 3 'stop breathing' episodes in 45 mins last Friday night. They couldn't find anything wrong with him so got sent home with some ReadyPred (steriod medicine) and told to watch him and see how he goes. But having the readypred on hand will help if it happens again as it helps to open up the airways for him the breath again before we can get him to the hospital - 35 mins away.

Both boys are still growing and as Rhys has been quite sick Liam has now become our big "chunky" monster weighing in at around 5.6kg's whereas Rhys is only about 5.1kg's but hopefully now he is starting to get better his appetite will increase. Both boys are still in 000 clothes, although during the day they are generally in pants and tops. I only dress them in all in ones at night, but not Bonds suits as they are too small.

RE the solids debate... I started DD at 16 weeks with Rice cereal and she never looked back and has no food allergies and will pretty much eat most foods now. I'm going to start the boys at 4 months as well as Liam is already showing signs of wanting to eat - watching us as we eat and making mouth movements at the same. I think Rhys might be a little slower to start with as he is behind Liam in a lot of his development but I take it slow to start with and will see how he goes.

Liam is really starting to want to spend most of his days sitting up if possible, he is extremely strong in his back and neck muscles whereas Rhys is still not fully supporting his neck as yet but if he is on the floor on his back he will roll himslef onto his side so I'm thinking he will learn to do the back to tummy roll before Liam. It is so interesting to watch the development between the 2 boys to see what skills each is learning. Oh, last night I had then sitting on my lap looking at each other and for the first time they started interacting together, talking, smiling and touching each other, it was very cute to watch. Both the boys also love the TV at the moment and also watching DD run around and play.

Anyway, I'm off to make a cuppa and have a bikkie while the boys are asleep and DD is in bed (I'm trying to get her to sleep fx).
