This will be quick, Isaac has just gone to sleep and I have heaps to do.

Belfie - no you didn't sound soapboxy at all. Love the advice, I'm doing more BLS now, and its so much more fun. Isaac is really enjoying it.

Dory - wow Hannah Bear sounds like she's a very intelligent bub! Well done to page turning too. Isaac just tries to grab the books all the time but he does enjoy looking at the pictures and listening to all my silly voices. That was me about the face sucking, it's so funny! I've been thinking about egg too, and peanut butter. Is now ok to do that?

Isaac is really good at standing now while holding onto something, and he has even pulled himself up from sitting to standing by himself too, I'm just amazed how fast this is all going. His day sleeps are still short (half hour) although yesterday one of his naps was an hour and the day before that 2 hours. Not really sure how to keep him asleep so that he is happy in his awake time. It's hard with short naps, sometimes I can resettle him but most of the time he just becomes more and more awake.
