Hi Girls, Long time no speaky! Busy Busy!!

Can't believe your boys are 2 now Dawn, and Georgia will be 2 soon, those 2 years have gone by so fast!

Victoria is such a lovely baby when she isn't teething! she will not go to sleep at night or in the day for that matter! last night i was so desperate i even sang to her! which seemed to do the trick but thats not to say it will work for a second time! By this age Georgia was getting herself to sleep at night and in the day, they are so different, i tried controlled crying the other week and only lasted about the first 5 minutes! so any advice in this gratefully recieved!

Better go she's woke up again!

Hi girls,

its so quiet in here!

i know how busy everyone is.

How are you all, and the children ofcourse?

Georgia is proper walking now bless her, she looks so grown up now, went and got her first pair of proper clarks shoes the other day,she looks so cute with them on! She's really stringing a few words together now its so lovely.

Victoria is great apart from she's been teething on and off for a while and she's got out of the habit of wanting to go to bed at night little tinker! so the evenings can be a little trying but apart from that she's a little darling.

Better go stuff to do while they're both sleeping.

Hi Girls,

I'm still here! Just really busy as I'm sure you all are!!

Georgia still not walking yet she's had the odd few steps but nothing more. The HV said she's fine and she'll walk when she wants to.

She also has just the 4 back teeth to come and she seems to be teething on and off all the time poor thing, but luckily doesn't seem to affect her sleeping at night so far! She's starting to try and talk now which can be quite funny, and she's turning into a proper little girl which is lovely. It all happens so fast doesn't it!

Victoria is a dream baby, She's been sleeping 8-10 hours at night since about 7 weeks which is wonderful, and she is just so content and lovely, which is a good job when Georgia demands so much attention! But i wouldn't have either of them any other way.

Better go going to give Victoria a bath when she wakes up.

Take care

Hi girls,

its so quiet on here hope your all okay. just a quickie before the tribe wakes up from their naps!

life is great, im so glad i had my girls close together now. i think if i'd have waited much longer it would have been harder on Georgia. She really seems to love Victoria now, but i have to watch her as sometimes she does give her a slap or a pinch, not always by accident either! but she is still only a baby herself and i have to remind myself of that sometimes.

How are all the boys?? and mummies ofcourse

Our nights aren't too bad now last night i bathed her and she settled at 9pm so that was lush to get an early night, she doesn't normally settle till 10.30-11pm so think ill try and bath her more often if it settles her. she then woke at 3am for a feed then again at 5.45am so not too bad. Vic is now 9 lbs 5 oz and adorable. she smiles now too, i forgot how those first few smiles melt the heart!

Better get off as they'll be awake soon.

Take care

Hi girls,

hope everyones okay.

Dawn hows the teething? G is teething with the awful back teeth now, sometimes she can be quite grotty but i know she can't help it poor thing.

Tof how are you and your boy?

she fell trying to stand up today and now has a fat top lip poor girl. still not walking yet but i know it won't be long now. she gets on the sofa on her own thats bad enough!

Victoria is lovely, feeds well she seems to be awake alot more than i remember Georgia being at that age. the last 3 nights only had to do 1 night feed to, so thats been lovely, last nights was 5.15am so great stuff! she does seem to feed every 2 hours in the day tho. but i'd rather that than extra night feeds Georgia pretty used to her now its like she's always been here.

better get on lots to do then hopefully V will settle a bit earlier tonight so we can get a better nights sleep.

lots of love
