BG - Glad the concert went well and hope you catch up on your sleep soon.

Krystie - Good work Kyson on his crawling and sitting - CJ sits pretty well but I think is a long way from crawling - still no rolling here.

Naomi - CJ wasn't here much in hot weather when in brace but I had cut up an old wondersuit to make into shorts I tried two ways one where just cut round the middle and legs and then turned the waist over and stitched it. The other I sort of just chopped the top so it was like shorts with braces and then she had a t-shirt over the top. I had purple target own brand wondersuits and I really like purple so I thought the shorts looked cool. I didn't think were too hot and the stretchiness of the suits worked. I remember though CJ pretty much lived in wondersuits because trousers that fitted over brace were hard to come by - was not so bad as was winter.

Nicky - If my parents lived over here I would be happy to leave CJ with them and will leave her for a wedding for a day when they are here over Christmas. I do find though if when have left her previously for a few hours with people in the UK or here that I forget she exists sometimes! When I was in the UK driving around I quite often would forget until came to getting out of the car that she was in the back!

Jacinta - Jamie looks so cool in the Santa Rocks T-Shirt

Amy - I have also been feeling more tired recently - not sure why as CJ is still sleeping overnight really well - although her wake up time is getting a bit early 6:15ish rather than 7:15ish so that could be it, but we have been going to bed pretty early and I normally don't mind early starts. I do think CJ is getting a bit more demanding and less happy to play on her own not sure if it is a phase or a permanent thing but I suppose all the playing could be wearing me out!

AFU - Thanks for the advice on the leg exercises from everyone, we have been trying a bit of everything everyone said, I think there is some improvement I just need to be patient - her legs seem very strong when she is pushing against me she just hasn't got the idea that can use them to stand on I think. Went to first swimming lesson yesterday - she was so relaxed in the pool (the instructors were amazed). BLS going slowly - I am not sure she has actually swallowed anything yet and only today day four has she really seemed to get the hang of picking up sticks of stuff and sucking on them.
