--Lion Cubs - Mummy and Baby Group!-- We are all One Year Old!

Hey girls

Pippin: So sorry to hear about Sams trip to the hospital - it just shows you how much a mother always knows best you were worried all along even the the doc told you everything was fine and you were right - I hope he is all better soon.

Shadow: Hope the visit to Fin went well - We actually went with two god mothers instead of a god mother and god father as I only have one sister and we had always promised that we would have each other as our first childs godmother and then DH has 7 sisters and we wanted to keep the godparents in the family so we went a bit away from tradition and went with two godmothers - Ouch on the coil it sounds like it was painful with your cervix hiding - hopefully it will settle down your periods and hormones - I hope Vince has settled down for you. Natasha has been grizzly the last few days also and has been waking at night and I do reckon she is teething so it could be part of it too - we have found teetha granules before bed seem to help a bit. I have heard that from a few people about Cow and Gate and really bad nappies thats why we stuck to sma and its what my mam used on all of us - Just a question - are you giving Vince a bottle before the solids - you probably are but if not it may be that he needs the milk and and then a little top up with the solids as it does sound like he is hungry feeding every 2 to 3 hours the poor thing - I really hope it all settles down. It is so hard when they are like that it is all just a guessing game to guess what is wrong, that week we had with Natasha was soo stressfull.

Ashnbump: Delighted to hear you are doing well and yay for the sofa lol

MJ: Glad HV's visit went well - lol at Adam weeing on you both. Oooh I like the striped bag and I have one with loads of pockets and they are so handy. Sorry to hear you and OH had such a row, we have had a few rows since Natasha was born which we dont normally do - Sometimes men really dont think do they.

Rubyrose: Sorry to hear you are still having problems with MIL - that is a mad thing to say "good job you had that seizure" - how can it ever be a good thing that you have a seizure - I hope it sorts itself out. I dont like it when my mum calls Natasha her baby or her girl, I know she probably only means to be sweet but I does bug me. Natasha does hold things when I put them in her hand but only for a few seconds and then she drops them and sometimes I dont think she even realises she is holding them.

Samstar: Ah thanks honey - Yeah Natasha looked the business in the christening gown and her party dress. Sorry to hear you and Darren are having problems, I agree with Shiv - I think keep talking it is probalby just a bad patch with all the stress you both have been under with Elin and all the worry about her health - I really hope things get better and that Elin starts feeding properly for you, that is some pain being passed all over the place. :hugs: to you honey.

Shiv: :hugs: to you pet - that must have been really hard at the funeral - hopefully now that it is over you can all get some closure - Funerals are never easy especially when it is somebody close. So sorry to hear you are having trouble with your DH - you are right to put down ground rules though as it takes two to make a baby so two should be there to look after them and you dont get the chance to go out and get wasted and fall in at 6, so why should he.

AuntyE: Hope Imogen's back sleeping better. I really hope your move goes well especially as you have been waiting so long and hopefully you get your broadband sorted soon.

Cleckner: Happy Thanksgiving - Glad you had a good day. So sorry to hear your DH has to go away, it must be really hard mine does work long hours and is gone from 7 in the morning till between 6 and 8 in the evenings and I find it hard let alone to be gone all together :hugs: to you honey and I hope the time passes soon, I think once he is back a few days though and is playing with her she will know him pretty quick again. I think MJ's idea of a pic or even a video if you have time before he goes so it will keep him in her mind.

Jai Jai: I'm so glad you got to spend last weekend together - My DH also gets narky when he is tired but then I suppose we all do, It really annoys me though when he is like that lol - I wouldn't worry about not being popular with those friends especially if they haven't been to see Adriana yet, you have to look after your little lady first.

Vici: I think you do have me on Facebook - My proper name is Jean and the photo album is Natasha's Christening - Yay for booking the honeymoon - that is mad we also went to Orlando for 7 nights and then a caribbean cruise - is it with Royal Caribbean we went to Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Mexico - if you find my facebook there are some pics way down at the start of my photo albums - oh you will love it we had an absolute ball - not so much in Orlando as we went in June and it was quite expensive but the cruise was absolutely brilliant. The dress sounds gorgeous and a really good price too.

Well AFU, Natasha has been prety unsettled the last few day I thik her teeth are at her the poor thing and she has been waking a bit at night too and the last three nights we have had a screaming match while when she wants her last bottle, I think she is just getting hungrier that time of the evening and because she is tired her tolerance is lower and she normally always goes four hours but it has been at three hours or three and a half and it just comes out of no-where she is in right form and the next minute she is screaming the place down the first night was the worst as we didn't realise she was hungry and were bathing her and she was histerical, so I think we are going to have the bottle ready at the three hours tomorrow night and not change her for bed until after she has it - I was so annoyed tonight though as we were over in my mams and she was actually falling asleep when she started to cry and then I took her up and she screamed the place down until DH got the bottle ready and my sister and I were talking after and I said I hate when she gets like that it just breaks my heart to see her so upset and full of tears especially as she doesn't get that upset much and my sister turned around and said you will just have to realise she will cry sometimes and not get so panicked about it - I wasn't panicked I was just trying my best to console her, I know my sister didn't mean anything by it but honestly she doesnt have a clue as she doesn't have any children - I know babies do just cry someimes and when she is grizzly and giving out I just go with it and know that she is having a bad day but It does break my heart when she is histerical I mean for Gods sake she is my baby and it breaks my heart to see her upset like that and because she is normally such a placid baby you just know she is really upset or in pain to get like that.

On the subject of DH's we all seem to be having some trouble in that department, we never usually fight but we have been doing it in the last few weeks I think it is because I am still hormonal and he is tired and stressed with work at the moment so we have just been sniping at one another - I think its probably normal for couples to be slightly less tolerant with a new baby also as you are more tired so I hoping it will pass pretty soon and I really hate it when we fight especially since we dont normally. But on Saturday though we went Christmas shopping and had a lovely day which I was surprised as Christmas shopping normally really stresses me out and I thought it would be a right panic trying to get it all done with stopping for Natashas feeds, but it wasn't and we only have two more presents and we are done so that is a weight off my mind. Well speaking of tired I may hit the hay I was planning on getting to bed early tonight but it has taken me an hour and a half to read and write back lol - you ladies have been chatty the last few days.
 
Morning girls :D

1lb gone this week (prob would have been more if it wasn't for yesterdays chocolate and digestive biscuits with top gear last night :rofl: Sill its still a loos :D

Shiv - i don't have a link i'm afraid and the pics i have of it on a hanger don't do it any justice and the ones with her in it are taken on a mobile from a photobook :) These are the ones I do have :)

jelr - just seen them hun, think it was coz the photos didn't go back to the date you added them. They are just gorgeous and Natasha looks soooo sweet in her dress. Love the cakes too :D Sorry to hear Natasha has been grizzly too, i think there must be a "stage" as quite a few of them seem to be going thru it xxx :hugs: We're looking at Royal Caribbean too - on the brand new Oasis of the seas ship - its HUGE!!! We'd then be looking at Bahamas, St Thomas and St Maarten :)

Cleck - ahhhh i knew it was one of them :rofl: Yeah we'll do Disney (done disney in Paris about 6 times so about time i went to the big one :D and Seaworld and Discovery Cove :D


:flower::flower::flower::flower:
 
morning ladies...

forgot about my weigh-in this morning, so will do it tomorrow morning pre-breakfast, post-wee :D - I did jump on scale just to see, although I'd had coffee and cereal - 10st 10, so hoping to be a little less tomorrow. (is 1lb down on last week anyway, so is good).

Am rushing out this morning to meet a friend, despite the pissing rain - we're only going up to London Bridge for coffee - she's 7 months pregnant, due end of Jan, so it's getting close, v exciting for her. got to get Adam up, poor babe is having his morning nap, unaware he's about to get shoehorned into a snowsuit!

Also, had news this morning, not unexpected at all - my brother & sil are having another baby... I knew they were trying and suspected she was pregnant when I saw them in mid Oct, as she didn't drink at all, despite having opportunity (no driving to do) and she went for a nap in the afternoon. She is due Jun 22nd, so by my calcs she was about 5 weeks in mid Oct, so I guess they'd just found out in the week before the trip over here. All very nice for them (have to admit to being a bit envious, though I would NOT be happy to be expecting a baby in June!!!) but it kind of means we have a deadline for sorting out Adam's christening, as she'll be 3rd tri from about the end of March and I believe you need special permission to fly after that - they live in Norway and I really want them both to be there and be Adam's godparents. To sort it all out with least resistence from Chris, I've had to agree to it being in London, which is fine by my family, who'll all have to travel (I just feel a bit poo about that because I'd have liked HIS family to be the ones who had to make an effort) but to get it sorted I am ok. Apparently Chris's mum is away from the 17th March so it'll be before then.

Anyway, better get dressed and get AE up. :D
 
Hey hun, congrats to your Bro and SiL :D They're due just aftrer my sister :D

Have fun out for your coffee :D
 
Vici- Seaworld was better than Disney World in some ways. They had some pretty neat shows. I'm a huge animal lover though so that may be why it was better for me. :haha:You'll have a blast!!

MJ- OO another baby to be around! Congrats to them!

Random but Emma just sneezed and I said 'bless you' and she laughed after I said it. :rofl: Like her sneeze is just hilarious. Now she's kicking me. :dohh:

Well Emma's appointment is today. Finally! She's so behind on it all I feel bad! I'm nervous to do it on my own without DH there. I just think she's gonna scream the place down or something and I won't know what to do. I have all these horrible scenarios in my head at the moment. She's never rode in her car seat alone either. One of us is always sitting in the backseat with her to entertain her. So this may be an interesting trip to say the least!
 
MaryJo - Your other half is totally unreasonable and i can see why your angry! My OH goes to a darts tournament every Friday which is great as he needs to do "his thing" but i would be mad if he took the piss and came home at 4am or said he'd be a lil late then came back hours late! SO i can see your point and he is deffo in the wrong! I also know what you mean about the mil thing to. I said to my mil once me and C would go out for a meal or whatever and she keeps bringing it up now, wish i never said it! For one we dont have the cash for meals at the mo an 2 we are under each others feet as im on leave and hub is out of work so we dont reall need any EXTRA time lol! Congrats on your sisters pregnancy btw and the 1lb weight loss! You are doing well xx

Cleck - Not much to say but a big :hugs:

Vici - Yeah i know what ya mean! Archie holds it, stares at it then drops it as if to say "thats boring" I keep reading these websites (and i know i shoulnt!) and it comes across like baby should be holding it properly and shaking but maybe i am reading into it wrong! yeah am thinking of putting archie on aptamil extra hungry but im skeptical about the hungry milks the last 1 made him constipated! My OH doesnt really support me with his mil, he thinks I'm the one being funny. :shrug: So i dont mention her or we end up arguing! You must be so excited about your wedding hun! I remember how excited i was (i went and married in vegas and honeymooned there) your honeymoon sounds fab!! Congrats on the weight loss, whether its 1lb or not its stilla loss!

Shiv - Grr what is it with men?! Sorry you missed swimming the first time cause of your OH but it sounds like fun when you eventuall did go!

Jelr - My MIL is a nutcase. End of. Only she could make me having a seizure a good thing and shes meant to be a nurse! How is Natasha now?? I get what you mean about seeing them cry. Yes they cry as they are babies but when its your own it does have a way of getting to you! I've been in tears myself when I've seen Archie crying. I do agree about the oh thing, i seem to argue more with my husband, i think all couples will with a new baby your whole world gets turnt upside down!

I am fine at the mo thank the lord...the mil hasnt been round so thats been nice (!!) Had m two friends over sat to watch x factor, archie went down at 9pm so the whole evening really!

Hope your all well xx
 
OMG! So about 15 minutes before I was going to leave for Em's appointment, in walked DH. :cloud9: I got this huge grin and jumped up and ran to him because I was SOOO upset about having to go to this appointment alone because I knew she'd be getting her first shots and she'd be upset and that always gets me upset. He ended up talking to his chain of command and let it go up the ranks and they let him get off the ship!! I had no clue he was even thinking about trying to come home for it and I'm absolutely amazed that they even let him off. :happydance: But now he's gone again. He just got enough time for the appointment.


So everything went excellent. She is now 24.5 inches long. She weighs 10 lbs. 9 oz. I asked the pediatrician what she thought because I told her I've been worried that Emma is so much smaller than other babies. She said a lot of babies come in nowadays and they are overweight because people think a fat baby is a healthy baby and that isn't necessarily true in all cases. So I am feeling so happy about that! It's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. She was amazed at how advanced Emma is already after putting her on her tummy and all of that. :cloud9::cloud9: I'm so proud of my baby girl. :happydance::happydance:

Her shots weren't too bad. Emma was crying before he even jabbed them in. :dohh: Than she screamed her head off. Louder than I've even heard yet. But mommy's nipple calmed that down pretty quickly. :rofl:
 
Vici: The dress is gorgeous, thanks for the lovely comments on the pics, she was gorgeous alright - Royal Carribean are brilliant, you will have a ball and the one thing I did love in Orlando was the parks, I had blisters on my feet each day after going around them. I have to say we enjoyed Seaworld and Universal better than Disneyland, but then we only managed to do one park in disneyland and even that was a full day. The fireworks display in Disneyland is not to be missed though, it is on about 10.00 pm but it is so worth staying around for it. I have never seen anything like it and also the watershow and fireworks in Seaworld were brill. Oh I so envy you I would love to do it all again lol. Well done on the weightloss even lbs is still a loss and it all is going in the right direction.

MJ: Congrats to your Brother and SIL that is great news. Adam will have a little cousin near his age. I'm glad to hear you are getting the ball rolling on the christening as I know you were anxious some time back to get it done.

Rubyrose: Yeah I think we all have lower tolerance when we have new babies with each other and life is so different than just spending time together although it is better it is still a huge adjustment, we seem to be getting back to normal this week so hopefully that is the end of it, last week probably seemed worse too as it will be 10 days before my next period is due if it comes on time and I'm always mega hormonal then lol. God I can't believe your MIL is a nurse, she is cracked alright.

Cleckner: Ah I'm so delighted your DH got to go to Emmas check up, Natasha's next jabs are due around Christmas so we thought DH was going to get to come with us this time as he would be on his holidays but when I went to make the appointment the other day the nurse that does them in our GP's in on holidays and wont be back until after the 4th of Jan so he will be back to work. It is so hard to see them in pain. I'm delighted your nipple calmed her down lol and that you are now feeling better about her weight.

Well Natasha was in much better form this morning and we had a lovely morning and curled up on the couch together and watched the film beaches that I sky plused but then my mam and brother arrived in and she was just about to go asleep and she woke and then my mam started to play with her. I could have killed her as I asked her not to play with her as she was sleepy and is getting very overtired lately, so anyway they headed home after a half hour and I ended up with a grizzly overtired girl for the rest of the afternoon grrr. She did get a nap around 5.30 though and was in good form again when her daddy came home.
 
Morning ladies!

Thank you for all the congratulations over my new niece/nephew... it's all very lovely. I kind of hope they have another daughter, because Adam already has 2 boy cousins very close in age (4 months older and 2.5 weeks younger, on Chris's side), so it would be nice for there to be a younger girl as well, as my nephew is 4 and niece is 2. But another boy would be awesome, too!

Jelr, thanks - about the christening, I was on to Chris yesterday and he seems keen, he's drawn up a list of 21 close family members on his side he wants to come, well, I don't have 21 close family members, so I will need to pad out my half of the guest list with close friends. :D I don't want my lot to be outnumbered... We have a potential church, it's one that Chris went to when he was at school/in the cubs, and I am *really* hoping AE will fit in the family christening robe after all (he tried it on when he was 9 weeks old and of course he is bigger now and will be 6-7 months old by the christening, but it's extremely roomy and if the buttons don't do up round the neck we could tack ribbons on temporarily. It's a family heirloom on my maternal grandfather's side and O'Neil descended babies have been wearing it for at least the past 100 years (well, I know my grandad wore it in 1914, not sure about before him, but I guess so, and his oldest sister was born in 1905 I think).

Vici, forgot to say but the dress is lovely! You will look stunning in it. Will Imi be a bridesmaid?

Cleck, hooray that Corey was allowed out for Emma's appointment! What a great surprise for you both, I bet he was so happy to just turn up like that! And yay for Emma's progress, must be a huge relief to know they are happy that she's doing well and just on the small but perfectly healthy side. :D I have felt the same about AE at times, hearing what big bouncing babies some of you have, but he is just a tall, slim boy at the moment. Seems to take after daddy, as Chris is slim - not so tall, but because he is slim he appears taller than he is IYKWIM.

RR, glad things are going well and you havent had the MIL bugging you!

Shiv, forgot to mention before but a big bah and boo to your husband... sounds very like Chris, who is another who cannot seem to have one or a couple of drinks. I can't exactly say I don't understand that, me who's been off the sauce for nearly 7 years because it wrecked my life and sent me loopy, lost me jobs, etc etc... but I do wish now he'd remember we have a young baby. :( He seems to think that he's Mr Wonderful because he isn't someone who goes out much, not even once a week or once a month, more like once a quarter... I woudn't actually mind if he went out more if he did it responsibly and with consideration towards me. Very glad yours managed to get up and take Sophia swimming, though, would have been sad if he'd missed it because of a hangover!

Jelr, glad Natasha has settled for you and that she did at least manage a nap. What grumbling little grouches they can be if they don't get their naps - I have found that with AE, definitely. yesterday for example, we went to meet my friend, which was lovely but he was disturbed from his sleep to go out at all and he never naps much when we're out, though he did fall asleep when we were on the way home. At home he growled and I had to feed him, earlier than normal, and then he slept for 2 hours, very nice. :D

AFU - I had a really nice morning out yesterday, except I was running late so suggested she go find a cafe and sit down since she is 32 weeks pregnant, well, she found a very nice place with lovely sofas - but it was upstairs with no lift! She was very apologetic - heh, she won't be making that mistake after January! I ended up having to give her AE to carry up while I folded the pushchair to get it up the stairs, which was ok, and it was a nice place for coffee, hardly anyone there, nice loos to change AE in, etc, so we could feel free to talk about all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. It's awesome having a friend going through now what we went through a few short months ago. She and I would never have been talking about intimate personal things like tears and stitches and nipples and boobs before, we weren't that close (work colleagues, but not all the time with us both being freelance, we didn't see each other that much but we'd try to have lunch once a week if we could and I went to see her at some of her gigs - she's a jazz singer as well), but it's nice to have someone to talk to in person. You all are lovely but till Jan, mere words on a screen... :rofl: Actually, the place we were at would have been lovely for our meet had there been no stairs and had it been bigger (or a smaller meet, of maybe 4 people, which I hope it won't be!).

So I did my proper weigh in this morning and am delighted to announce I am 3lb down on last week, not 1lb down! I was 10st 8lb, which is a 4lb loss for the month of November, and 18lb down on my post-Adam start weight (15 weeks ago today I weighed myself). Slow but steady is fine by me, hope it continues (and I have not been eating especially well lately so am surprised! Will get more on track in the new year, especially with the meet and the christening coming up) :D

Got my mum coming down today for 2 nights, she's en route to Norway to see the kids and flying from Stansted on Thursday so took the chance to come early and see us. Will be nice to have some help in the day, though we're doing fine, it's just nice to have someone adult to talk to (and hopefully help with Christmas shopping for my nephew and niece as I want her to take their presents over with her and save me the postage). :D
 
So sorry for not posting in here a lot, ladies. Feel very out of touch.

Sounds like a couple of OH's are not pulling their weight. It is a shame as they're missing so much (that and we all need breaks too!) Hubby is generally alright but has his moments which get me very frustrated. Tonight will likely be one as he left for work late and due to his time at the gym, etc., I'll probably be spending the whole day and doing the night routine on my own.

RR, I feel your pain about in-laws. My FIL is driving me freaking bonkers due to a concern about zippers. He thought I had the zipper too far up and that it'd poke the little guy in the throat. I tried to make him happy and such. However, whenever he calls, he keeps on bringing up the same darned issue. Apparently, he's been doing the same to my hubby when talking to him (except the conversation is in a different language -- still frustrating).

Vici, the dress looks lovely!!

MJ, hope the christening goes well. The gown that Christian wore was one a dear friend of mine sent to me. Lovely knitted thing.

Cleck, glad he was able to make it for the appointment! :dance:

Jelr, it is good to hear that Natasha has been getting in at least one nap. Hopefully there will be more naps to come!

Christian's been diagnosed with eczema (remember those spots I mentioned I saw on his cheeks?). So, he's now on medication, I have another cream for the rest of his face as it was dry. I've also had to remove the Johnson's stuff from his nightime routine and use Aveeno Baby instead.

The little guy is also rolling over on his side when I put him on his playmat (when he's wearing a disposable diaper). He's also shuffling around on his bum while on the playmat. Hubby ends up calling him 'shufflebutt' or saying it is 'shuffle o'clock' when he moves around to different angles, etc. :rofl:

Have any of you taken your little ones to see Santa? There was a Christmas party with my Mum's work and she invited us to come along. He had his first picture with Santa. There were no tears or screams to be had. Instead, the little guy was asleep throughout the whole experience. :rofl:
 
Happy 1st December! I'm so sorry I never reply properly anore but im on the iPhone and it's difficult, Jesse also has eczema I have been given emollient cream to apply upto every 15 minutes if needed so he's spending alot of time jus in his nappies or a bodysuit, it's upset me though cus he keeps scratching
his face and I'm paranoid people will think I've done it or
something,
Jesse will grip things but he can't quite understand what to do with rattles and things and just lets go, he feeds himself bickiepegs though n puts his bibs and teething blanket in his
mouth, and he definatly interacts with toys more
now like his toy bar and his gym he grabs and hits now
just wondering who was it that made
reusable wipes? And do you actually use them?
Jesses found his voice the last couple of days and will not stop shouting, and also when we played beekaboo earlier he did the best loud laughs ever! He had his first chocolate out of his milky bar advent Calendar today and
loved it lol,

On the house subect OHs dad decided he doesn't think we can affor our
house and won't be our garantor, well pissed off, we just want a home
to live in with our baby and he seems to be trying to make
it harder for us :( I just don't know what were gunna do now looks like were stuck till after Christmas now
sort for typos but jess is asleep on me and
I'm on the phone x
 
Hi everyone, internet is down at home so am using my phone which is a mare. Just wanted to check in on you all and say hi. I'll catch up proper when they fix my phone line. Take care all x
 
Hi Everyone, havent been on for oh so long, so so busy. Hope you and the babies are all fine. Quick question, when and where is the real life meet up please. I would so love to be there.

Thanks

Mimi
 
:D Hi Mimi, we haven't made a firm plan for the meet yet, we're hoping for January - waiting on Vici's getting a date for her gall stones op - and Shadow has been in contact with a possible venue, but we need a date and I guess numbers first. We'd like a baby-friendly venue, possibly a room somewhere? Shadow is going to update the first post on this thread with details so keep an eye on that in the next few weeks. :D

Shiv, what a pain in the arse about your internet! Hope it gets fixed soon... ours randomly died a few weeks ago and I raised hell with Virgin Media, which said it was a fault at my house and not in the wider area and that the first appointment to fix it was Saturday (this was a Wednesday afternoon) ... I was so angry with them, played every card I could think of, including the "I'M HOME ALL DAY WITH A 12-WEEK OLD BABY, I NEED MY INTERNET", and though I didn't get an earlier appointment, the woman gave me a month's free broadband. But THEN, randomly again the broadband was back on the next morning! No idea what it had been, Virgin was insisting that the problem was somewhere at my house! So I had a month free credited to my account for having no internet from 3pm to about 7am.

Always make a fuss, it can work - heheheh.

:shock:

Damn, you guys, I've been MIA for what, 2 days? And I've missed a MOUND of chatter!

Have briefly read all but got to get myself to bed now so no time for a catch up I'm afraid :cry: Will try to do it tomorrow morning my lovelies!

Off to sleep now, for however long Mr V will allow it! He's been waking lots in the night again and usually needs a feed by 3/4am ish :nope:

Ah well, can't remember who said it (RR?) but it IS all phases at this age and it WON'T last forever! Very wise :)

Will catch up soon girlies!! Lots of love xxxxx
 
It was indeed shadow and that saying has kept me sane through some crappy nights lol xx
 
Just a quick one as I am off to hospital for my pre op today! Hope you are all well, will speak later!! xx
 
Sometimes Jesse will sleep 8pm til 7am sometimes it's 9pm til 10am other times he wakes at 4 for a feed, I try not to be bothered by
it, cus if he's hungry then he's gunna wake mostly hensleeps through so I'm not bothered bout the odd time :)
 
Adam sleeps from about 11pm to 7-ish-am, never wakes in the night for a feed any more but he wakes me when he reaslises his dummy dropped out. But as his cot is pulled up to our bed, and the mattresses are at the same level, I can reach right in and pop it back and go right back to sleep (usually, sometimes it's fallen out of the cot, which is a RIGHT PAIN :D ).

He woke me just as Chris going out to work today, so about 7.40am. Though it was practically pitch dark in the room he was wide awake and blowing raspberries to himself :rofl: - very very sweet but loud!
