Sazz - NO POAS!!!
THIS IS IT - GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!!!!
Lenny - must be so hard on your own. I think I remember you saying you have no family there either (well, I guess they're all in NZ). How about mother's group or other friends with kids that you could pitch in together with sometimes...?
ANyway, now that you've committed yourself to visiting - you have! you wrote it in a public forum - I very much look forward to meeting you guys.
Hi Briggsy's Girl and congratulations on the safe arrival of your little girl. Lovely name!
Those early months are so tough, but I promise you all you'll get through it. You'll be sleep deprived and pulling your hair out, but you'll get there.

On sleep - in the early months we couldn't have gotten by without our hug-a-bub and 'no-cry sleep solution' book. Made a WORLD of difference. No, it didn't stick and we've had to find new tactics along the way, but those things did make a big difference in the first 4-5 months. A still doesn't sleep through or anything.
We've certainly had a big month! So many things to tell you guys about....
actually, nothing of note. I worked.
DS was super, super clingy and wanted mummy all the time and is teething again and sleeping really badly (or not sleeping really well).
A's walking all the time. He only crawls when he gets himself stuck in a tight spot

. He's signing more and more too. Do you do a class Sazz, or all on your own?
No words besides mam and da yet though.
A discovered the joys of slides at a park the other day, so I think that'll have to be a new activity for us. He's happy if he gets to roam around the backyard, which is where he's spent most of the last few weeks as that was the only way our babysitter could keep him happy & distracted.
Oh, time for swimming class.
Stay safe everyone
