    Morning everyone.

    Hi Tilda I hope you managed to ge comfy and get some sleep last night! You know I've been thinking that the car issues could just be result of Harry's mood, he gets progressively crankier as the day goes on and by early evening he's well grumpy and tired so maybe he just doesn't tolerate the car then, but he doesn't mind having a sleep in the car through the day?? They are strange little being sometimes!

    Hi BS Have a great trip home! Hope Eva travels well for you

    Hi Girls,

    I'm a little behind sorry, haven't had much time to go on lately as Amelia has been rather clingy the last few days! I'm loving this wonder week/teething business, not, lol. She's sleeping well at night but needs constant attention in the day, Tuesday I almost tore my hair out but managed to refrain myself.

    Hi BS - good luck with the trip, how exciting to be going home. I always think of you when I hear that Alicia Keys song New York, love it! I also luuuuuurv your pictures you posted earlier, Eva has the best wardrobe of all, lucky lucky girl! Have a great time at home.

    Hi Lani, Willow & Tilda - sounds like all our bubs are going great, even if there's some growth spurt issues to contend with.

    I'm off to mums group at the park this arvo, get some fresh air. Oh and my Amber teething necklace arrived the other day, I think it is definitely helping, she's not waking and needing the dummy at night at all, I've only gone in if she's got herself jammed up against the side of the cot which she makes a little noise but has her eyes closed so all I do is move her back to the middle. I hope this stays! I can handle the day time woes if she sleeps well at night - at the moment she's going down about 9.00/9.30 pm and sleeping until between 7.00 and 8.00 am - can't complain but I'm sure it will change. This Wonder Week is a biggen and could go for a while, groan!

    Hi Girls,

    Arrgh! My damn internet is playing up and I couldn't post yesterday, lucky I saved it as a doc first.

    Rose - Hope Liam's needles go well today and that he's not too unsettled tonight. The good news is that once we're through this fussy period it's a much longer stretch to the next one, so you'll get to catch up on some sleep

    Alison - That's terribly sad news about Mikayla/Bondi Girl. Just makes me want to tell all my friends and family how much I love them. That's lovely that your Easter trip to your holiday house didn't upset Amelia's sleep.

    Willow - How's your velcro baby going? Hope you're getting some sleep in there, you must be exhausted. Have you got a sling/wrap? It's the only thing that helped me survive when DS1 was clingy. Can you email me the name of your builder? You won't know yourselves when your extension is finished.

    Brussels - So glad to hear the FF is going well for you and Eva! Loved the pics of the rattle socks and the Parisian outfits. Have a great trip home and see you on FB, or back here when you get back.

    Tilda - Oh no! That's one of my fears, leaving the baby's bag behind when we head for our caravan. Walking at 5 months I think your Physio is right there, impossible! Hope your neck and shoulder are getting better.

    Lani - Yay for rolling! Craig did it once early and then didn't roll again for over a month, so don't worry if Jett doesn't roll again for ages, he probably thinks he got it perfect first go

    Hi to anyone reading who hasn't got time/energy/a free hand to post and hugs to Carmey, Hannah, Sesame, Kanda, Beany.

    AFM - We survived our trip to our caravan. Everyone at the park is so friendly and understanding as they all have kids. I was determined to finally get to do some fishing (haven't been able to for years!) so I had Craig in a fluoro safety vest (DH bought it for NYE so we could see him easily as he's a bolter) and Ryan in the sling. I managed to cast maybe 5 times and didn't even get a bite, but I got to fish. The toilet training went completely out the window, but we'll hopefully get back on track now we're home. Ryan is finally through his fussy period and is more like his regular self, but like Rose we have needles soon (Friday) so that will probably upset things again.

    Question: I was never able to get Craig to take a bottle and really want to try with Ryan. He happily drank one a while back but hasn't done it the last couple of tries. What teats/bottles are you girls using? I'm thinking the ones I have are too slow (3 month) and I need faster because he seems to get cranky and just chew on the teat. Any ideas?

    Hi Alison The constant attention thing is very trying isn't it!
    So tell me about these amber teething necklaces? How is it they help with not waking at night ?? If they help I'll buy 10! We didn't have them when DS1&2 were babies so I have no idea how they work.

    Hi Suzi I will send you our builders details. What a great idea with the fluoro vest! Very good thinking I'll remember that for later if Harry is a bolter. I bought an ergo the other week which is great!We went out to the soccer today and he was very happy in there I didn't know how he'd go for that long but he was good, he got sick of it quicker at home.

    Glad you got to fish!!
    Sorry no suggestions for the bottle, although Ds2d like a faster flow one from what I can remember. We haven't tried a bottle with Harry yet.
