Congrats to all our bubs then for all the movement and sitting up!

E is sitting up really well and at the longest has managed to sit up for about 45 mins before toppling over. He loves to just sit and play with his toys, and of course put them in his mouth!

As for crawling, we have none of that. But i put him on the floor on his tummy ysterday and he started wriggling backwards.... with a massive trail of drool following him! DH and i made the joke that if we lose him oneday we'll just follow the drool and be sure to find him!

Thanks for your advice girls too... I have been doing some reading and I think we might have a case of separation anxiety coming through (although i do think his gums are a little tender as he bites everything and has a few nice big white lumps). I have found he is fine and settled and will go to sleep in his cot just fine - provided he can see me, but if i am not there then there are tears.

I don't swaddle him anymore, he was managing to get himself out every sleep so i changed him to sleeping bags at about 3 months. I loved swaddling him because he looked so cosy and i think it would be great for winter too, but he is just too much of a squirmer. To give you an idea, when i put him down at night it is not uncommon for him to turn himself so he is either sleeping across the cot or do a full 180 turn so he sleeping up the other end of the cot. Little terror...

As for feeding him more Stevie - he already has 3 solid meals a day plus 2 x 240ml bottles and 2 x 120ml bottles..... if he eats anymore he is going to be an elephant! LOL

Crazy baby - i thought we had a nice little routine going and neither of us was sleep deprived or anything... and now this! Oh well, i will enjoy giving him the extra cuddles and kisses while he is so sookie.....
