    anyone know who replaced my lovely Edgar with a devil child? he's only slept about 1 hour total since we got up around 8:30 this morning and those sleeps were spread out over about 5 naps!!
    he has a bit of a bump on his gum and has been producing stinky wiffs so not sure if he's getting a tooth :rolleyes:
    Feeding him is a pain because he keeps arching his back and tipping his head back so I have to lay him in a really weird way for him to be able to swallow and not rip my nip off :eek:

    Sounds just like Rhys :( He keeps getting stroppy tired, then slams his head on my shoulder, crashes out for ten minutes, then wakes up like nothing happened and carries on playing again until a few hours later when he does it all over again.. :confused: All teething symptoms stopped here though.. had about five days of it every symptom going, then nothing - no teeth neither! :rolleyes:

    Caz - is he still staying at your house? don't worry if you don't wanna talk about it though I understand xx

    I've not got my #1 boy either because he threw a strop about coming home from Grandma's and OH wasn't with me so I CBA with the hassle so just left him there. :o
    was quite funny actually, my sis was fuming at mum and had a mini go at her over how she spoils him and gives into tantrums, she said I have the patience of a saint and doesn't know how I put up with it :A at least I know I'm not being unreasonable when I rant about her
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Same as Jack - hardly slept at all today and for no longer than 40mins. He cant decide what he wants, one min it's me then Daddy, then he wants a bottle and after 30ml spits it out and has a paddy and refuses it.

    It's doing my head in and I'm normally really calm when he gets het up but he's been like it ALL DAY :mad: OH says he will try and get him off to sleep but while he's in the bathroom, he's crashed out on my shoulder but I don't think he's asleep.

    Was just thinking tooth but decided it's too early and could maybe be from jabs last week :confused:

    Think I'll lie down with him now and see if i can get him fast asleep. catch up 2mora xxxx
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • I've had a wierd evening with Caitlyn... She was mithering all the time we were downstairs so I took her up to bed... Down for an hour and awake crying... Fed her, put her down, she woke straight up... Fed her again... She's gone back to waking twice a night too...

    Just wrapped all of Aimee's christmas presents :D

    Nice to see you back Susan :)

    And Sami, mother's don't get any better... Aimee went to mine last night... Came home today with a McDonalds, has eaten 2 doughnuts, a mince pie and half a packet of halloween chocolates... She also has 2 new toys and a new outfit...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
