The last couple of weeks have gone by so quickly, haven't had much time to get on here so this is a bit long.

Hello mel thekiwimum, lou123, Snowy Love, and nattyfred

boomba - Hope all is going well with Flynn

emma8108 - Is Alyssa keeping up her settled nights? How are the witching hours going?

Shades - How is Cullen going?

Jen27 - DD is awake a lot more during the day night, but will only wake at night for feeds now then go straight back to sleep - usually... With a bit of convincing she will sleep in the cot for day time sleeps but would rather sleep near where we are. With regard to nappys - we are mainly using the huggies newborn still and they are still fitting Mary fine, we were given some of the Baby Love (with the poo pouch) style and they were way to big for her and kept leaking so we weren't happy with those at all. DD Looks like she is getting close to smiling however we haven't had any yet. Oh love those photos!

GoingtobebiginAsia & Lou123 - Thanks for that video we have found that the 5 S's have been the best way to soothe her. We have even managed to get her to take a dummy.

Bub4me - Hope that the night sleeps sort out soon

beansbean! - Sounds like you have a good little sleeper & a great little helper also

Miss Heather - Sounds like Tess will be right for clothes for a while then. Mary is getting more settled & my relatives have eased their pressure of wanting us to visit off a fair bit.

GTBBIA - Hope that Poppy settles down soon, could it possibly be wind that she is having trouble moving around? I know that Mary gets in an awful state when she has bottom wind it seems quite hard for her to get rid of it, although I have noticed over the last two days she has been farting more hopefully this will keep her more settled.

AFM-DD absolutely loves the baby sling; she will sleep and let us do anything we need to do whilst she is lying in it its fantastic. I tried to take DD to get some professional photos taken earlier this week however I think she found it all a bit overwhelming and felt a bit unsafe without her swaddling and someone holding her, she stayed happy for a couple of shots then got totally upset by the whole process so we will try again to finish the shots next week. DW bought Dunstan’s Baby Language from ebay this week we watched it yesterday and thought that it will be quite helpful in settling Mary more; it has already proven useful in helping to point out her vocal cues.
