Peta: I put Deacon's name down on the waiting list at the childcare centre I wanted him to go to back in January this year. They told me then that they would ring the month before he was due to start to confirm he still needed a spot. When I went in to change his start date from November to January they told me that he got the last full time spot for next year. I would definately follow it up if this is the place you want Aly to go to, just in case.

Deacon does the same thing with moving around in his cot. Most mornings I find him facing the opposite way to how I put him down and up the other end of the cot!!!! I have him in a Grobag at night so his little legs don't go through the gaps, and I've just put a cot bumper around the other night that we were given as a gift coz he woke himself up by knocking his head the other day. I'll have to go into Big W and find one of those mesh thingies today.

Peanutter: Our CHN raised solids at the 3 month check up and I am booked in for a 'solids group' run by one of the CHN's next Friday. They said to me to try to hold off until 6 months, and don't like babies younger than 5 months going to the solids group. That being said there are only 2 out of 8 of us in my mummies group that haven't started our bubs on solids yet. With weight gain, I second what Yules said. How are you going being back at work?? Hope everything is settling down for you *down there*.

Yules: Happy belated birthday for Max. Wow, a lawnmower cake. I wouldn't know where to start with trying to make one of those!!!! Good luck Good luck with your moving. Yay for removalists. I hate moving and think if we ever moved again we would use some too.

Sharon: Happy belated birthday for James. A pirate ship cake. That sounds yummy. I said to DH I want to get one of the kids birthday cakes cook books for when DS has birthdays. Deacon's sleeps change each day too. One day he will have 2 1-2 hour sleeps with a 30min cat nap in the arvo, the next day he will only have 3-4 30 min cat naps through the day. It mostly depends on what we are doing (ie at home or in town) or if I have a heap of house work to catch up on and have him in his rocker for most of the day instead of spending time with him while he's awake.

No AF here yet. We have talked about trying again after Christmas. Because of the trouble we had falling with Deacon, we don't want to leave it too long in case we have the same trouble again next time. At least next time we have some bubsicles waiting for us if we need them so we won't have to go through the full IVF process again.

Crumpet: So happy that wormette is doing well I love the colour you've painted her room. Won't be too much longer now and you will be holding her in your arms

AFM: Not much out of the ordinary happening. Deacon has started babbling. He is getting his d's and l's okay. He half sticks his tongue out when he does it. Very cute!!!! Sometimes it sounds like he says dada, but I think that's more me wanting it to sound like a real word rather than just his babble

BBL, Deacon's woken up. He's just babbling to himself at the moment, but that could change very shortly.

Hope you all have lovely weekends
