AuntieM: Great to see you again hun. So great to that Reyna is doing well, reflux is a real challenge, Lynn's little boy Ethan has it to, it is fantastic that she is gaining weight and growing well. Pop in more often you hear.
Lisa: I'm here, I've been at work the last few days so haven't had much BB time. Have an awesome time tonight at SATC. I am going when Mum is here and I can't wait.
Willow: Glad to hear that the Dr checked out L and he is ok, here's hoping tonight is better. And WTG L, 9 months is very impressive
As you know I"ve just gone back to work 5 days a fortnight. I was so very worried how on earth I'd cope working after no sleep. Now I might sound crazy but I actually find it easier to go to work when I'm tired then be at home. I am so busy and occupied all day that I don't realise that I'm so tired whereas if I am home I just feel so lethargic. For instance we had a shocking night the other night, I would have got no more than 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep and had to get up at 5.30am to go to work. I felt horrible when I first awoke but by the time I got to the city I felt so much better. It wasn't until on the train on the way home 12 hours later that it hit me. I hope you find the same thing.
Mako: I love the backwards crawling, it is soooo cute, you wait, he will figure out the forwards motion before you know it. From memory Oliver went from backwards crawling to forwards crawling in about a fortnight. BTW, the bub you mentioned is being fed way to much. IMO solids should be delayed until 6 months and it is only a very gradual introduction from there. I am so surprised that the bub just doesn't straight out refuse the food, poor little tyke, that isn't setting up good habits for later in life.
Well I'm so glad work is over, I had an insane day today but at least it went quickly. Oliver actaully did quite well last night, bed by 7.00pm, awoke at 9.30am (care of our dogs barking) and resettled. Went until 3.30am which was fantastic and then the rubbish began. It took DH until 4.45am to get him back down. We used your technique Willow of letting him try to settle and picking him up everytime he worked up to a cry. The good news is he then slept until 8.30am. I was at work by then but I'm so glad he is sleeping later than 5.30am which he was doing for the last week or so.
We were meant to be taking him to the beach tomorrow but the weather isn't going to be good so instead we are going to a friends house to watch DVD's.
Hi to everyone else.
