Well done to Jake!! Keira has informed she isn't going to school because she doesn't like sandwiches or food :mad: She ate a chicken korma last night though (once I had smooshed the chicken into flakes) She has a trip to Drum castle in 2 weeks, I have to send her in with a packed lunch, what do you put in a fusspots lunch box, no sandwiches!! Actually sod her, she's getting a sandwich, eat or starve! Muhahahaha!

I got the date for Katies very first dancing show today (17th July), she's a Munchkin!

She loves her Wizard of Oz CD so much that we couldn't change it when we were driving back from Devon.

Weezl - Katie's speech has only picked up in the last 6 months or so, she has some catching up to do. I'm glad that you've got strategies now. What helped Katie was learning some basic Makaton and using that in conjuction with trying to say the word, I'm sure it helped reduce the frustration for her.

Katie was funny at the weekend, the hairdresser came round for hair cuts which brought my neice round who has her arm in a cast after dislocating her elbow in an accident during a gymnastics training session - Katie wouldn't go near her in case she hurt her, even edged away if the poorly arm came anywhere near her.

Hello again everyone. I introduced myself 7 weeks ago when Thomas was first born but have barely had a spare minute to come on here. I have been missing my online chats so have been making the effort to get my butt off the sofa (daytime tv is frighteningly addictive!!) and start doing my feeds upstairs on the pc.

We're doing really well and I love being a mummy, but we've been having a few sleep issues of late. Bit of a shock to the system as T used to fall asleep in my arms after his 10am feed then sleep until 7.30 with a night feed at 4am ish. Now he seems to be really wideawake until 1am, then wakes at 6. I've started doing his last feed in the bedroom with only his night light on to recreate night time but it doesnt seem to make any difference. Any advice?

Hi Gill - this may sound a bit strange but it sounds like you are getting near the 'sorting out a normal sleeptime' stage. Babies need lots of sleep and if you miss the right time to put them down then (IMHO) you end up with a wide awake baby on your hands who struggles to settle.

Is there a time in the evening when T has a natural lull? Say 7 or 8pm or something? Maybe if you start trying to put him down then you will find that he has a wake for a feed in the late evening and then will go a little longer in the night.

I started trying different times for settling Benjamin down from about 7 weeks and by 12 weeks we had settled into an early bedtime and him staying in his own cot all night other than for a feed or 2.

Different people think different things but personally I think that the sooner you can settle them into a 'normal' baby/child sleeping pattern the better. For example, when he is 5 and going to school you will want him in bed for (say) 8pm and you would like him to stay there until (say) 7am - why not try something similar now?

All just suggestions!! But staying up to 1am suggests that he is over tired to me.


Good luck xx

Can't stop or read back properly yet, will try and catch up later, but from my quick skim read....just want to say to Weezl....K isn't talking at all and completely ignores 90% of anything I ask him to do. I know he understands but is choosing to ignore me, as he will follow the instructions sometimes!!

just popped in to ask a quick question.....What did you all do for Christenings/Baptisms/Naming ceremonies...in terms of afterwards? Did you go home, invite everyone back home, book a venue, have a party at a pub, lay on kiddie entertainment etc, etc,

Will try and check back soon for replies, need to find out what the hell this rank smell is that has been bugging me:(

we've got a small room at the local cricket club. was going to have everyone at ours but have decided to make a big thing of Kian's christening and have a big party
i think MIL is sorting a childrens entertainer as well but i'm leaving that to her to sort. am doing the food ourselves but have a list already of the food and a rough estimate of cost. am off to see balloon people on sat to get a quote for a few displays.

thats good jillie as ve got my tickets :rotfl: x

got-it-spend-it

No idea if this is useful, Jillie, but when we were getting a balloon for my friend's Hen we discovered that Matalan do really good value balloon displays. You obviously have to pick them up yourselves, but useful if you want something on a budget.

BM will Keira eat a stuffed pitta, tuna pasta or anything like that?
