Thanks Dory, I gave Isaac panadol last night at about midnight, I think it was teething pains - he was crying and wouldn't let me touch him anywhere near his mouth but 5 minutes of stroking his forehead after I gave panadol he was asleep. Haven't tried the gel yet. Haha it's weird that people think it's 'polite' not to ask someones heritage.. they should realise that people are proud of where they come and usually like to be asked! But yeah I think you're right. Strange. Yes the morning smiles are addictive.. maybe you could do a bit of co-sleeping here and there so you get to wake up to beautiful baby smiles before she gets too big

I totally get what you mean about frustrations. I am finding it very hard not to get frustrated, and I have said much worse than that. Not proud moments. I always feel so guilty for snapping, Isaac is just being a baby and I know that.. I don't know why I find things so hard to deal with sometimes. The more I think about it, the more I would love to have another baby so that Isaac has a sibling and to make our tiny family slightly bigger, but then I think how will I cope with another one?? It's not really like I have the option anyway, just thinking that's all.

Belfie - Isaac hasn't had red cheeks really, just a bit flushed and he holds his mouth tightly closed and turns his head away when I try to touch his mouth. That pic of Annika is just gorgeous, love the beanie. I bet she'll start moving more soon, Isaac all of a sudden just started doing everything. He doesn't roll much though.

All is ok here, getting excited for our trip.. I really need to get away, and two weeks of no washing, no dishes, no cooking (except for a thai cooking class one day) no housework, no washing nappies, lots of sunshine, swimming and food cooked for me just sounds like heaven. I have finally got Isaacs passport application in, along with an extra form they needed as he has no father details on his birth certificate. Apparently his application might take a bit longer than normal, I didn't realise before I booked it. Oh well, I hope we get it in time or we won't be going anywhere.
