Hi girls!

BS - I'm so glad that Eva is doing well on the formula! That dress is the cutest thing ever. And I just hunted up some rattle socks on ebay

Hi to everyone else! Hope you're enjoying the long weekend.

AFM - I am exhausted. We've officially hit the wonder week/four month growth spurt/teething/whatever the heck it is. Combined with Liam still being a bit snuffly, we're having fun...not.

Last night was like having a newborn again. His longest sleep was 3 hours, and then he was up almost hourly for a feed. He was grizzly this morning, then behaved himself when we visited family (for once it was his cousin who has grizzling - she's a very settled, placid little thing, but she has awful ezcema at the moment which is causing her pain) and then got really grizzly again afterwards. He's napped less than an hour in total all day in fits and starts (and always on me, apart from one sleep where DH held him, which is a rarity in and of itself). And he's been feeding like crazy again.

And he's going to get through this, and then it'll be time for his (late) four month needles. Argh. I hope he doesn't react like last time, because it was a really bad day.

I really, really hope he sleeps tonight. I've just been in to resettle him once - hopefully he'll stay down at least until early morning. He's been a restless sleeper, too, waking when I come to bed, which he used to sleep through.

I really want to try to gently coax him into a decent sleeping routine. I don't mind frequent feeding during the day at all, and I don't even mind one quick feed at night, but I'm getting really fed up with having an overtired baby who won't nap or sleep well at night.

And as I typed that, he just woke up screaming again. DH's turn to resettle him.
