    ...can somebody tell me why my baby won't go to sleep anymore?

    Nope, sorry....what's he doing? Crying, or just lying chattering...

    I think it's the 'almost 1year old phenomenon'. A lot of them seem to be doing it right now!

    I don't mind a Saturday but can't do Sundays - don't know about other people though.


    So that gives us current options of:
    Tuesday
    Wednesday
    Friday
    Saturday

    In March: next week is out as I've got a uni essay due on Wednesday and then another one due on Sat, plus a tutorial on Sat. Mega stressed!

    w/c 8th - working every weekday but could do Sat 13th.
    w/c 15th - could do Mon - Fri but not weekend
    w/c 22nd - anyday but not Wed 24th
    w/c 29th - working Mon 29th, but nothing else booked yet

    Things change on a daily basis though depending on what work I get offered.
    Here I go again on my own....

  • He gets annoyed when i remind him about things I've asked him to do (because he IS going to do it :rolleyes:) but yet if I don't remind him things don't get done (:rolleyes: again.)

    LOL - we have this all the time! I shouldn't expect him to jump because I have asked him to do something...but today I asked him to rearrange the pebbles in the fire before I threw them at him! About 2 months ago he asked me to get out the instructions for the pebbles so he could rearrange them so I did and they have been sat on the dining room table since then *rolleyes*

    He did do it though ;)

    Crying, refusing to close his eyes, laughing, sticking his fingers up my nose, licking my face, putting his hands in my mouth, covering my eyes and playing hidey boo with himself, generally being very cute but simultaneously very frustrating because he is very tired.

    We will get there. And thankfully he mostly sleeps once he does go down. I think it might be a separation anxiety thing because he doesn't bother with anyone else.

    Does everyone else find the 4-6mth, 7mth and 10mth stage jars/pots are just right for your babies in terms of texture? Rhys had a 10mth jar tonight with no problems at all (HiPP Sweetcorn, Pepper and Chicken Risotto - well half of it, plus some homemade carrot mush and calorific mash) :) I'm finding it a bit harder making his veggies to go with it cos I wouldn't eat mash with lumps in (_pale_) but I've got to leave lumps in it for him, haven't I? Think I might just cut most veggies small from now on but still make creamy mash like we would eat anyway :)

    Sarah, I wrote OH a list yesterday (partly because I couldn't be bothered to talk to him! :p). Didn't give him a time limit, he's off work until Tuesday but he's done six our of seven things already... tempted to add more on now! ;)
