I just had trouble finding our thread, it was on page 2! It has gotten verrrry quiet in here...

Thanks Dory, it would be so interesting to be a fly on the wall. I hope he has been looking at the photos. I wonder what he thinks of him.. and if he thinks of him. Does he think he looks like him? Does he see his mum in Isaacs eyes or his dad in his mouth and chin? I agree, he is mad to miss out on all of this. I am planning on going to Tanzania next year, so I really hope he will want to meet him. I don't want to get my hopes up though, but it's a trip I really want to make again anyway.

How is HB? Did she sleep through again?

Isaac has two more teeth through this week, his second bottom one and I noticed today a top one has come through as well. No wonder he was having some bad nights.

I really don't like to focus on sleep, as I feel their bodies are still so little and not really supposed to have the sleep cycles of adults yet, but Isaac slept from 6:30-5:30am last night, only waking for a feed at 10:30pm! Amazing.

I have noticed a funny thing. I don't know if there is anything behind this but I have noticed friends with big babies who tend to start doing things a little later seem to sleep a lot , whereas smaller babies who are more active seem to have less sleep. Is this a usual thing? Just as an example, my friends baby is average size, she is 6 months old and on all fours rocking looking about to crawl very soon. She is like Isaac, doing lots of things but has never slept through. As an opposite, another friends baby is big, always above 95th percentile, 9 months old and only just starting to shuffle along the floor. He has slept through from very early on and has always slept for huge stretches during the day. I know they are just two examples, but I am noticing the pattern with a lot (but obviously not all) of babies I know of. It would explain why Isaac doesn't sleep through yet, if he is the 'type' of baby in the active category. Has anyone else noticed this?
