Glam, Amber has a funny way of rolling over, although she won't do it anymore. She can almost sit unaided though.

Speaking of dream feeds, have you tried cutting Jacks out to see if he will sleep through yet? Or are you going to continue it to a certain time and then wean him off it? I've never done it with any of mine, just waiting and if they woke they got fed, if not they didn't.

I don't mind ps3 games too much, just would be nice to play ones I could join in with sometimes. Mind you, at least it means he doesn't want the laptop

I think I must have broken the thread!

I'm trying to work out what I'm doing in the way of food for Izzy's party on Sunday. I'm planning:

egg sarnies (and maybe tuna or cheese ones too)
cheese cubes
peas
grapes
rasins
cocktail sausages & maybe sausage rolls too
baby crisps (those organix ones... I will avoid the carrot flavour though!)
breadsticks
plus a small plate of chocolate fingers & party rings (with some extras for the grown ups!)
jelly & ice-cream
birthday cake (MIL is making a maka-paka one )

Does that sound about right? Anything obvious I have forgotten? I'm planning to only have things that the babies can have too, and do it in enough quantities for the babies to have them for tea, and the grown-ups can nick some, rather than having separate grown-up snacks. Not sure if that is a good idea, or if would be better to have some separate snacks in case the grown-ups eat everything before tea time?!

I was giving Henry a dreamfeed before I went to bed, but missed it for a couple of nights and realised that it wasn't actually making him sleep for any longer . I don't bother anymore!

Ladybird- your buffet menu sounds lovely! You can't beat good old party food.

I know what you mean about routine Glam - I just found Husband singing and dancing and blowing raspberries on Molly instead of putting her to bed :rolleyes:

Still, she's in the crib now and chatting to herself. She'll roll over on occasion, sits for 20-30 seconds at a time unaided, and will only giggle when there's only one person in the room. She finally laughed at Husband tonight after a month where she'd laugh for me but no one else and frantically silent-laugh for other people. Now to get her to say Mama...

Watching the new series of being human, but I didn't catch the end of the previous one. Would make more sense if I had caught up I think

I'm a bit of a wimp and don't want to cut it out in case he wakes in the night for a bottle. don't want him to start wanting a bottle every 3hrs from 3am if I can help it. When I go up to do the dream feed, he is always chomping for it and does take a good 6oz. I think the plan is to wait until he is having 2 meals a day and he's taking teh extra during the day.

I don't mind shooting games or racing ones - shocked OH last night and scored a few goals on FIFA!

JUst went up and turned Jack over and within 5mins he woke up so he's back on his tum :rolleyes:

Watching a film now so I better log off and look interested!
