    Thankyou xx

    Talking of ending up in with you, Rhys woke me up at 6.15am this morning, roaring cos he'd turned round in his cot and got his leg stuck in the bars (still in his sleeping bag)! :eek: I just picked him up, carried him through to our room, put him in bed and we all went to sleep again.. D5on't know why I didn't just settle him in his cot (in the middle of the night - which 6.15am is in this house! ;) - he's easily settled, just not during the day), was just on autopilot to get back to my bed asap! :o

    she normally ends up in with me somewhere between 11.30 pm and 2.00 am. although the other day it wasn't until 4.45 am.

    i say every night i'm going to try to get her to stay in her cot, but like you so it's about getting back to bed asap.

    i am thinking she is paying more attention to her muslin or a facewasher for a comforter at the minute as she's poorly, so i might try a cuddle, bit of a drink and give her back her muslin and see if she goes off.

    she's taken to screaming for long periods during the early hours at the minute. can be a few hours on and off. not sure if it's teeth as she's cut two recently and another is one it's way or if it's this sickness bug

    who said this parenting lark was easy??

    I'm going through something similar with Caitlyn at the minute... Since she's had the sickness bug she's been waking in the night and although she's happy not to feed back to sleep, she won't settle back in the cot at all, only in my arms...

    Although we had a couple of nights where I fed her because I thought she needed the extra while she was ill and last night I paid for it with major tantrums from 1:30 till 2:15ish... Out of desperation I rubbed anbesol into her gums just in case it was teeth and put a pillow under her mattress just in case it was belly ache.... One of them worked because once I got her settled (by lying on the floor next to the cot shhhing her) she slept until 5:00, fed from both sides then slept until 7:40... I've left the pillow under her mattress for now too... You never know!

    I assume it's probably teething or something normal that all babies go through but he's just whinging all the time he's with me. He's been fine with mum (been there every day Mon-Wed) but as soon as I arrive he starts crying, proper roaring. I'm not horrible to him, I don't ignore him, I sit and play with him all day. Don't know why he doesn't want me :(

    I get the same with Jack - he moans and moans and as soon as Daddy gets home he's all smilies :(

    I've lost a folder of photos on my phone :(:(:(:(:( I'm sure they've disappeared before & then reappeared but I've just gone to transfer the rest over and they aren't there

    Am hoping they are saved to memory card :o

    what ever works for you hun... as you know, i didn't have LO going into her cot at a reasonable hour until a few months ago (and she still ends up in with me every night) xx

    the last few nights J has been in with us - I can't cope with staying up for an hour trying to get him off to sleep so have brought him in with us knwoing he'll go straight back to sleep and stay asleep. Every night I say I won't do it cos he'll get too used to it but I keep doing it :o

    Actually don't think I've lost too many of Jack! The main ones were ones of him lying on our bed in his nappy looking like a chuby buddha :rotfl:

    I think they must get bored looking at our mugs all day... It's probably refreshing seeing someone else... Although when I was out on Saturday I think Caitlyn missed me... She whinged an awful lot for Hubby... It was only later on that night that I realised that's the longest we've been apart in months... We're always together, day and night!!

    those who use all-terrain buggies- is a fixed wheel better than swivel for country walks (ie rough, not paved paths and fields/hills)
    Fixed is needed on very bumpy or soft terrain. Mine was fine swivelling on the compact ice n snow but needed to be fixed on the powder.
    Ideally a lockable swivel is what you want, the P&T is fabulous for going off road I LOVE it for that :)

    Hello all

    Bye all :wave:

    I wish Ed was bored of my mug :rotfl: now he's so good at crawling he follows me everywhere whining like a puppy, He can sit on his own now :D he crawls (still commando but can do 3 'steps' proper crawling) over to a toy then sits up to play with it, he looks massive and grown up :(

    Aww he's a clever boy!! Know what's more annoying than them crawling after you whining?

    When they pull themselves up to standing on your leg whilst still whining... You can't escape them then!!

    I'm very annoyed with hubby.... I bought the girls a gorgeous summer dress each, White with red flowers on, matching and everything... They've not even worn them and he's managed to wash Caitlyn's in a load with some brand new red tops and dyed it pink... :angry:
