Kosi, I was wondering where you had gotten to. Sounds like Ava is doing really well. It is great that she was settled for you while you were away. We really should go and see the IL's but I soo can't be bothered with all the cr@p you have to take and the unsettledness that goes with travelling.

Taurean, hope Izzy is more settled, does sound like it was a growth spurt. Will keep an eye out for those pics.

Kelly, did you do anything over the long weekend? DS had an upset tummy (read terrible diarrhea) so I stayed at home with him while DH went out fishing with his brother.

Miss A must be the easiest baby ever! She just sails though the day, fits in with whatever we are doing. I honestly thought DS was an easy bub, but by comparsion he was sooo clingy - I always had to be holding him, even DH could barely hold him for the first 3 months. She does have the odd clingy day but the sling cures that. She is starting to get herself into a routine now with naps. Depending on what time she goes to bed we usually have 1-2 wakeups during the night, then she will wake somewhere between 4-6am and I take her into my bed for a bit extra sleep. We have the night time get-ups done and me back in bed in 12 minutes now so it isn't that much of an effort.

DH interupted a burgler in our sleepout the other morning - some jerk was stealing all the meat out of our freezer (of all the random things...) they got away with about 80kg of stuff before DH walked in. They were from a party next door and must have had someone over the fence collecting it as it was passed over. The police caught them but the meat wasn't recovered - not that I would want it back after it had been goodness knows where.
