HPL: an amber teething necklace is just that! a necklace that bubs wears 24/7 basically that can really help with the symptoms of teething. i have a feeling that it also just helps with the 'chill' atmosphere in general. they are specially designed for babies to prevent choking hazards etc, do a google and check em out!

Fuzzy: sleep is still pretty up in the air here for us. although i have to say that it is much better than i had thought it would be. DD1 was sleeping through fairly consistently at this age (go down at 6.30pm and wake at 4.30am for a quick feed then down again until 7am) but she was a good feeder and in her own room (which tbh i think can really make the difference for some kids). i find that we are doing pretty awesome with DD2 considering that she is bunking down with us in our room. i had expected it to be alot harder but thankfully she is not afraid of catching the zzz's and is a quick feeder when she does wake. i also have taken to not changing her nappy unless totally necessary (but we are in disposables at night which lets that one work well lol).
my plan though is to have her move into Leila's room soon. i am thinking in a couple of months. they shared together when we were on holidays the other week and did really well....

AFM: still snotville here. but managed to pull off a BBQ despite the torrential downpour! pulled out the smoke alarm though 8 kids, 17 adults
