    Hello all x

    Congrats and welcome Nutella :j
    I confess I am not on here enough but will try harder!

    Scott is having a mammoth nap :eek:

    I have encased the jumperoo in a duvet cover to prevent Dylan having go himself.... Or a nibble at the little bird

    We are thinking about sorting out the house a bit but it's a mammoth task. Scott is still sleeping is his crib for a while yet but we do need to sort out his bedroom, downstairs and the third bedroom/junk room.

    In Scott's room we have a double bed mil usually sleeps in but we are still a bit undecided whether to keep it in their when the cot bed makes its way in there. At the moment don't want him out of our room (:o) for a long time and think say he grizzle in the night I do take him into double bed so oh can get rest in our room. Also storage.... We have bought 3 Argos cube cupboards and we have a load of cube shelving in the third bedroom. Do we move that into Scott's room as would be good for toys etc and oh could put hardboard on the back and make some into cupboards. Then what about the wardrobe in Scott's room it has our stuff in so do we make the third bedroom into our clothes storage?
    Ramble ramble .... Oh and I want some cheap but quality drawers like a tall boy say 7 drawers thanks for reading :rotfl: have to get it sorted out in my head soon as oh wants to move it all beginning June :eek:

    Ro, check out the ikea malm range, it is pretty cheap and good quality for what it is. Tallboys are £80, I've had mine 2 1/2 years and after 2 moves and daily use, they are still immaculate. HTH

    Hi hi :)

    Sorry I've been absent recently, seems like I have no free time at the moment.

    Hope everyone is well, Aidens doing great - normally has a bedtime bottle between 9 and 10 and sleeps until 5 or 6. Its been lovely and warm here the last few days, been out for some walks but think its a bit too warm for little man because hes been getting a bit restless in the pram bless him. Struggling to get him to drink water which is annoying as he used to have loads! Anyone tried the flavoured water from boots?

    I really want a jumperoo!!! Aidens dead strong on his legs so I think he would love it, do they take up much space? Our house isnt masive and the lounge/diner already has his bouncer, play gym and his nest ring thing plus his changing box etc!!

    Havent really thought about weaning, think Aiden will be early though as hes a greedy little scamp :)

    Going to think about moving him to his cot soon now he is sleeing better, got some video monitors in the asda baby event - would reccomend them quality is very good.

    I was in mourning for a bit with this thread - it seemed to have just gone...glad its back :T:T

    Hi all xx

    Sunshine the jumperoo is quite big it's just under a metre across ! We don't have a big sitting room either!

    Will keep trying to come on here too x

    Congratulations Alizee :)

    Sunshine, If your thinking about a jumperoo but don't have room then we found a door bouncer was liked by Jacob. Thinking about his door bouncer he hasn't been in it for a while....will pop him in later.

    Aiden sounds like a great sleeper, I'm very jealous :p I think that teeth coming through have caused most the night awakenings here. We currently have Jacob awake for the day at 5am which is just too early for me!

    The weather has been surprisingly hot which is lovely but hard work with Jacob. We've had him naked most the days, covered in sunscreen while he explores the garden. With the sunscreen making him sticky he's covered in grass and dirt after 10mins!
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)
