jj-rabbit - Definitely try to keep him up, I reckon, if he's nice and full and snuggly warm he should settle nicely while still somewhat awake. Just put him down when he's got his sleepy eyes on
I've found that heating up Lachlan's bed with a hot water bottle, feeding him until he's on the brink of sleep then popping him in his bed has worked a treat tonight! Got him in bed at 9.30, compared to his preferred 11pm
Thanks hun
Lachlan doesn't talk as much as Chase by the sounds of it, so he's got that one over Lachlan! He does a fair bit, but I wouldn't say he talks like crazy, that sounds so cute
I have to provoke him mostly for him to do it, but if I'm lucky he will squeal at his toys sometimes, as in the second video I posted
Lynn - I know I said it on fb, but happy anniversary!
vegasbaby - Don't worry hun, she shouldn't be at risk of rolling in her sleep as they use their arms as leverage to roll themselves, she'd likely have to wiggle/push quite hard to roll herself over without them! Hope she settles without the swaddle soon, they are creatures of comfort these babies aren't they! Maybe just try tucking her up nice and tight and see if she'll take to that? x
kel - hope Connor is doing okay after his shots, Lachlan was such a grizzly bum after his first lot, I dread his second lot! The stupid pharmacist left out his baby paracetamol...sigh! x
Cocoa - How was the movie? I haven't seen the first one, but the series is so addictive! Hope little miss was a good girl for her daddy, and that daddy was a good boy for his little girl!
Thanks hun! I'm sure it won't be much longer at all until all the other LOs are rolling too - how's M's head control? Wow that's a good weight! Her legs are so gorgeous, I love chunky legs - Lachlan's are still rather skinny really
C'monnn little man, chub up more! hehe. Those short legged rompers are so cute! Wish Lachlan could wear his but it's just come in to winter and by the time it's summer again he'll look a little silly in them at the age he'll be
MM - Thanks hun!

So, Tom and I suspect that Lachlan may be at the early stages of teething. No real signs as such, he has started eating his hand a little, and will chomp on my finger a little when I offer my pinky for him to suck (sucking at the same time lol hmm), and he gets a bit grizzly sometimes.
Like I said no definite signs really, i.e. no bum rash or incredibly red cheeks, but I had a feel of his gums and I could feel a wee bit of a sharpish lump and we both swear we can see a tooth, I will try to get a picture if he will keep still and not scream at me for holding his wee mouth open
Luckily I have ordered him an amber teething bracelet so we will get that in the post in a few days and I'll see if it makes a difference to his crankiness! Didn't get a necklace because I want him to be able to sleep with his amber on, I've heard that if you take it off them when they need to go to bed, while they're teething, they can be hard to settle?
I downloaded some Regina Spektor yesterday, I am LOVING her! A girl on my fb (from bnb actually, but she got banned over something stupid, poor girl :/) really likes her, so I was intrigued and I already liked a couple of her songs so I thought I'd take a peek...she is great! And downloaded some Rilo Kiley too, of my own accord, who I am also loving!
Saw my so called best friend today, I hadn't seen him since I had about five weeks to go until I had Lachlan, as he got titchy with me over something petty (and I mean really petty! A facebook status
) so he met Lachlan for the first time. Things are all water under the bridge (as you'd hope they would be!) and he thinks Lachlan's lovely. Was good to see him again, as I'm beginning to feel like Rosy no-mates... I have either grown apart from or just don't have anything in common with some people I was friends with and it's sad
Need to get out more and get socialising, methinks!
