ooooh good luck with the pilates kate!

c&c'smommy - I tend to be the other way round - the eternal optimist (bloody good job, ds has been up four times for each of the past two nights - grr!). He likes to have two huge sleeps in the day though, now that he is being weaned. When the dds go back to school next week I will be able to start working on my business again (it's been on ice for the past six months) so I'm really pleased he is more settled (even if it is just during the day!).

Weaning is going well - far better than it did with the dds, I'm glad I held off for that extra five weeks. So far he has had apple, pear, banana, parsnip, carrot, broccoli and potato, and today I have been preparing sweet potato and butternut squash - he loves his food which is great, though I'm a bit concerned that his milk intake has gone down quite a bit (hence why I don't mind him keeping up his night feeds for now, means he is still getting enough milk).

Do your db's reach out for things yet? Ds will grip things if put in his hands, and swipe at baby gyms/faces etc but won't reach out for toys yet. Not worried, just interested really.

OOOh, meant to add, shall we start a new thread? Shall I be bossy and dictatorial and do it now?

OK, I was bossy and dictatorial and did it - here is our new thread
