Hi Natty - ha ha don't hold back, tell us what you really think, it's probably the same as my reaction anyway!

Hi Snowy - exactly, I did mention that to her but she gets angry if it's not what she wants to hear so I dropped it. She insisted that it was crawling so I just went, oh wow isn't she clever. Ridiculous I know but she HATES to be told and I can't be bothered arguing with her.

Hi Ubba - check it out when you can, wow that article is interesting isn't it, it upset quite a few people. What are your thoughts? I haven't had to use controlled crying yet so not sure how I feel about it. I guess there are times you have to use it and times when you shouldn't/can't. Hmmm, tough one.

Hi Telly - let me know when you've seen the vid.

AFM - well my blissful 5 nights of uninterrupted 10 hours has gone AWOL, Amelia lasted nearly 7 last night so still good I know but it's still strange, I thought she might've found a bit of a night time routine but maybe not. I'm still wondering if she's going through a growth spurt, she's not unsettled so far today however. She started crying at 5.00 am so I went and got her, I got a bottle ready and by the time I came back she was asleep, only problem was I'd put her in the bed with DH to watch while I heated up the bottle. So of course I left her there, I know I should've put her back in her cot but I didn't want to wake her. She did stay in our bed until 7.00 am too....I really need to start trying to get her to go back to sleep in her bed. I think she might've woken because she had really cold feet - does anyone else's bubs suffer from cold feet? Her socks had fallen off as I didn't use her Grobag last night but a long sleeved/legged onesie.

We have a birthday party to go to tonight, I wanted to take Amelia with me but my 17 year old nephew has asked if he can look after her - we're going with my sister and her husband and it's her son. He's fantastic with Amelia (this is the one we think might be gay, not that that means anything ha ha) so I feel bad saying no. We will only be around the corner and I figure its a good excuse to only go between feeds for a couple of hours so I'm going to do it. Will feel weird, I've only left her with my mum and mum in law while I've been to appointments. I trust him totally as he's really great with her but will just feel weird. I don't even feel like going out, the thought of trying to find something decent that fits scares the crap out of me, too hard basket really!
