Hi girls!

Liam is napping right now - hopefully he'll stay asleep long enough for me to actually write some decent replies. Had a really bad day with him yesterday out of the blue - he was crying in the afternoon for about two hours straight I don't know if the heat was getting to him or what. Thankfully he had a pretty good night last night so I got to get some decent sleep, which I sorely needed.

Alison - Sorry to hear about that bad night. Hopefully it was just a one off and Amelia will be back to sleeping through tonight. How much is this weather sucking, too? Argh. Glad we have air con, but as it's evaporative it tends to conk out during the day a bit. I plan on hibernating for the next week or so until it cools down properly! It's annoying, since it means that I can't get out walking. Yay for Amelia giggling - I don't think we've had any overt laughs out of Liam yet, and I can't wait!

BS - I hear you on the overnight development. I swear, one day Liam was fussy during tummy time and could only just lift his head and the next, he was loving being on his tummy and could lift his head and shoulders up for ages. It's amazing to watch.

beany - Liam's been pretty fussy about feeding again the last few days as well. I'm guessing that it's just part of a developmental or growth spurt. That's totally awful about your power being out Fingers crossed it stays on today and tomorrow.

suz - I still don't know how you cope with a toddler and a baby, especially with toilet training thrown in! You're a champion.

Hannah - Baby Beehinds are awesome, aren't they? They're my favourites with Liam, along with Itti Bittis. I assume you got them in the BBH sale that's on atm? The cloth nappy hunt downunder is on in March, too - lots of bargains to be had! I have a feeling my credit card is going to take a battering. Though so many stores have sales at the moment, it's already pretty bruised!

AFM - Feeling generally pretty exhausted and blah. Things have been getting on top of me again a bit, probably just because I'm a bit sleep deprived after Liam having a very fussy few weeks. He's been better at sleeping this week, so hopefully I can catch up a bit. DH was away the night before last, and naturally Liam decided to have a super fussy night and day. Gah. He's been better this morning, though, so hopefully it bodes well for the rest of the day.

It's so amazing watching his development, as I'm sure you all know from your own bubs. He's so interested in the world now - he's actually interested in toys enough to reach for them a bit. He still loves things that play music the best - I think we need to get some more! He's definitely been having a growth spurt, too - weighed him yesterday and he was 6.2kg, up from 5.8kg a week before!
