Hi girls, i'm in holiday mode - staying at DH's parents while he is working from their office during the day, as we have a wedding this weekend. Its fairly average weather which is good for T's sleeping but not so fun for walks etc in the day. Oh well compulsory quiet time!
Sanchez - big hugs, is there anywhere you can go to sleep school near you? Sounds like V has developed some really tricky habits there. I hope I didn't make you feel worse by talking about T's routine - babies are so variable aren't they. The only thing I would suggest is trying for some more day sleeps, even if they are short - its so easy to overstimulate the little ones and that could lead to not sleeping well at night. But I can completely understand that its not easy, especially when you are sleep deprived yourself.

Taurean - i am waiting to swim until we get back home next week - although i am now wondering if T will fit the swim nappies as they are for 7-12kg and T is only just over 6! What are you using for Izzy nappy wise in the pool? Hope the daysleeps keep improving, there are benefits to less sleep - its quite hard for me to go out of the house, T will sleep in the car and pram but not too easily (mind you we just did a 4 hour drive to get here). Isn't it cool to have a smiler, we get lots of comments on smiles and giggles too - they are made for loving, and making Mum's Dad's and Grandparents all soppy!

Sangie - woohoo Ethan! He's growing so well. A lot of little boys we know are packing on the weight too. At least there are lots of sales on at the moment for clothes! We still struggle to fill the 00 (3-6 mths) clothes, so T is in between 000 and 00, a lot of the pants just fall off him because he has a small waist and legs - eg can't fit pumpkin patch 000 jeans yet!

Art - A is just bouncing along huh Cool that she is enjoying her jumperoo, does she use her legs much. T loves standing up on my knees or in his exersaucer - he thinks he is so cool. I read this week that you can expect bub to sit up about 5 months - but once again we have no sign of that happening yet.

We may be doing well on sleep but when you sleep all the time I guess its harder to learn to roll / blow raspberries / sit up etc. I almost wonder if T was premature somehow (more than the 10 days early he was born) as he is so small and slow developmentally - but so happy and cute, and he is getting there just slowly We are still stuck on wrapping too - we have to wrap him for every sleep or he pulls the dummy out and still can't get it back in, and he wont sleep without the dummy. I think i need to invest in a bigger wrap soon!
