heya girls, wow i have had this window open for so long, ive finally finished my reply!!!!!!!

erica- im glad work is going really well. how was ur night out?

tali- tell the health nurse to go jump, introduce solids when u and harlee are ready.

elf- is he having a growth spurt or is he just living up to his nickname?? mr c has been waking up every hr or 2 at night since he was sick but hes been feeding quiet badly so i cant really complain...

MIL went to a conference the other day that talked about interesting research on the introduction of solids tho, apparently they are now thinking that its a good idea to introduce small amounts of high allegy foods between 4 and 6 months...after they have been saying for soooooooooooo long not to give it to them until 12mths <<<<thats my MIL lol

ow i envy ur routine, mr c has sorta got a routine for sleep... wakes up anywhere between 6am and 8am, naps at 10am-ish for between 20min to 1hr and again at 4pm-ish and is generally in bed asleep before 8pm... no feeding routine either, it seems to be anywhere between 1 and 4 hrs leaning more towards 1hrly in the morning.

but on the upside mr c's bottom has pretty much gotten the all clear, saw the GP today to make sure its healing properly then back to outpatients in 4 weeks. we also have a decent case of oral + gut thrush from the antibiotics so has drops for that, as well as probiotic stuff. very scary tho cos his tummy/bottom has been really bothering him but i thought it was just the antibiotics, making him feel sick or his bottom being sore (i have been having to give him panadol to get him to stop screaming a few times in the last couple of days) but it turns out gut thrush can be really painful... like wind pain all the time BUT there is light at the end of the tunnel.
on a happier note i just about kissed the postie today :P i got fluff mail AND babylegs and dr seus tshirt AND the jolly jumper i bought on ebay.... those on FB might have seen the pic, he thinks the jolly jumper is fantastic, hes already trying to catch the dogs tail as she walks past.... a lot of people have said that it might take a bit for him to get the idea of bouncing to make things happen lol, hes such a wriggle worm that it only took about a minute.

anyway id better go
love, squishy hugs and raspberries to all
