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?
