Hi girlies!

Alison - I haven't heard anything else about catching up. That puppy is great, isn't it! He loves it! I think he likes the flashing red heart. I've been trying to teach Michael to blow raspberries...he's not even close! Ah well, plenty of time.

Hannah - Oooh, I wonder if that could be it? Would be easy to fix at least if it was! Whats this Little Green Frog song? I have to say I only have a small repertoire (sp?) of songs I sing for Michael...its usually Wheels on the Bus, Doe a Deer (from Sound of Music), Eidelwiess, This Old Man, Michael Finnigan and the Grand Old Duke of York! I should really learn some more.

Suz - Wow! What a chubbikins! Thats fantastic, you're excusively breastfeeding is that right? Must be such a wonderful feeling to know that its all because of you that he is growing so well.

BS - Are you all feeling better now? HOpefully that was just a one-off! Thats sooo good that your feeds are starting to space out a bit more now. Yes, I must say, its one of the advantages of FF. As soon as I started him on it he started sleeping longer, such a massive difference. But then I don't get the wonderful feeling of BF, so there is a bit of a trade-off I think I noticed it one of your pictures that Eva had hold of something in her hand...how long has she been doing that for? Michael hasn't got the hang of his fingers yet, most of the things he does with his hands are with closed fists...except he sometimes has his right pointer finger out for some reason!

Big hello to all you other mummies!

AFM - GRRRR!!!! Its bloomin 38oC or whatever here and the power in our suburb decides to go out for 3 hours during the hottest part of the day!!!! I was sweltering. Poor little moo was so hot too, he couldnt' sleep. But he was such a good little boy, just lay in his cot with a damp flannel on his belly looking up at his wall stickers smiling. Gosh I love him.

Ohhh, feeding is becoming a nightmare He's going through some funny phase where he's getting really fussy. He'll be fine for the first part of the feed, until I come to burp him. Then he cries and cries and carries on and won't take the bottle back (he does eventually tho thank goodness), and stiffens out. I'm wondering if its wind. I do burp him and most of the times get a burp or two. I dunno what else it could be.
