Sanchez - agree with the others, Violet seems completely normal. Ethan isn't on the move at all. He can roll from tummy to back but has only done it a few times and can't roll the other way. He can sit up for a few seconds and he does 'talk' a lot too (gets that from me lol!). He has just started to grasp things in his hands this week. Oh and no teeth yet and no signs that they are coming. Don't worry hun, if there is one thing I've learnt being a mum its that these bubs do things when they want and not a second earlier!

Pooley and Janine - I hope you haven't left us for good. It's been great getting to know you both and you will both be missed xoxo

Taurean - maybe I should try sailing to get my boy to sleep lol! I'd be willing to try anything right about now. Hope you hear about the house soon.

Art - no plans to start solids yet. I'm hoping to start at around six months unless Ethan has other ideas before then. I started my DD on the mush at 5 and half months but quickly worked up to lumpier textures. It worked well for us so I'll probably do that with Ethan too. What do you give them to start with for BLS? I'd be interested to know how you did it if you don't mind sharing? I'm exactly the same in that I don't like any of the options re: contraception. I want DH to get the snip but he isn't too keen

Kosi - seems day sleeps are an issue for a few of us. I hope Ava coped ok with getting a tooth!

Mum2 - good luck TTC!!! What a stupid nurse!

DH is still on holidays. So good to have an extra pair of hands to help out with the kiddies. I'm really going to miss it when he goes back to work next week. We've also had lots of family time which has been great. Went to the zoo, have had lots of picnics at the park and going to the beach tomorrow. Ethan loves being out and about and 'talks' to everything lol! He was quite impressed by the giraffes at the zoo, smiling and waving his arms around!
