Hi Girls,

Hope you are your bubs are all doing well. I had written a big post last night and then lost it grrr, don't have as much time now because I have to get DD1 ready for school so this post wont be as long.

Lexie is good, her birthday is next Thursday, I can't believe my baby is almost 1 already. Every time I think about it I almost cry, she is my last baby and time is going so fast. She isn't walking yet, but both my other girls didn't walk until 14 and 15 months so I am not expecting Lexie to walk anytime soon yet either. She loves her walker though and scoots around the house in that, but gets very frustrated when she gets stuck on some furniture and can't get going again. She is still only commando crawling, she is a very chubby bub and I think it is easier for her to drag herself around that way but the last few days she has started doing some proper crawling so I reckon she will be doing it full time soon. Although she always gets to where she needs to by commando crawling or rolling or bum shuffling, she is always on the move. She has 4 teeth (2 bottom and 2 top), plus more on the way.

Rach, how is your pregnancy going? My DD2 and DD3 are 19 months apart and the only advice I can give is to try and be organised (easier said than done with a newborn I know), hopefully you will get into a good routine and they will both sleep at the same time during the day. I love when my girls have their arvo sleep, its a bit of peace and quiet time for me. Also if you can get Hudson involved in helping you, he will love it. Like getting wipes for you when its nappy change time etc. I am sure he will love his little brother/sister (are you going to find out the sex?) DD2 was a bit rough wth Lexie at first, like she'd start out gently patting her which would then get harder and harder lol but now she absolutely loves Lexie and is so protective of her. If I put Lexie to bed without DD2 getting to kiss her goodnight etc DD2 carries on like a pork chop lol.

Cupcake - How are you going with the weaning? Hope its getting easier for you. Would be heartbreaking knowing she is wanting booby. I don't have any advice for you because I was lucky that my girls all weaned themselves, hopefully someone else has some ideas. How exciting about thinking about trying for number 2 (3). Do you know when you guys will start? I am soooo clucky and would love another but with my tubes tied and after 3 traumatic c/s thats obviously not going to happen.

Gotta go now.
