Hi All! What on earth was going on with bb yesterday? I've been awol yet again, have just been so busy - doing what I'm not exactly sure! Have had a weekend a week or so ago at my MIL's place on the sunshine coast - that was nice, and we've just had a lot of stuff to get done around the house too which has kept me busy. Oh, and the kids too

We had Lila's 4 month check-up and needles with the GP yesterday, and all is going great. My petite miss is still on the titchy side though - 5.5kg, 63cm long and head circ 39.5cm. Her weight has dropped down a bit on the charts so am on a program to beef her up a bit - instead of feed-play-sleep, we're going to do feed-play-feed-sleep. Lila seems to be enjoying the extra feed so far, and was back doing a 8 hr stretch of sleep o/night . May even try offering her a bottle of formula once a day if she'll take it... Dr said she was very happy with how she was going, she's hitting all her milestones and that she would look at the baby before looking at the numbers which was reassuring, and seeing as though her length puts her on 75th centile she is prob investing all her energy in getting longer! Will take her back to GP in a month for a check on her measurements just for my peace of mind. DH reckons I'm not happy unless I've got something to stress about (lol!). It's just weird having a little bub - my ds was always such a big boofa!

She did well with the needles, only a little cry, and managed to get most of the syrup stuff in her mouth this time. I also got the swine flu jab - GP told me it is free for parents of 0-6 month olds - so I felt Lila's pain! DH is heading off to get the jab this afternoon...

Lolly - LOVE the avvy! Hope Will's poos don't keep hurting him (poor little guy). GL with his jabs. I clicked on your FB link but it just took me to my fb home page. I'll PM you my name so you can add me if you like

joey - how are Lily's nights going this week? The GP told me yesterday that the recommendation for starting solids is to now offer it from 4-6 months. Could always see how she goes with it - might even resolve the sleep problem perhaps? I offered Lila some rice cereal yesterday, don't think she's quite ready though. Started ds at 5 months, will prob do the same with L. And bugger about the Eels loss

Clare - hope wedding went off without a hitch!

Ang - great to hear from you, hope the school holidays aren't too hectic for you!
