    I have a variety of part-timers, and yes,
    it is amazing how a baby changes the dynamic in the home.
    Hope baba goes to bed soon

    The baby i have can cry for up to an hour before settling. I have worked out that by giving him his dummy and a teddy he settles himself quickly. It's worked twice so far, so hopefully will again next week. lol

    I had this today with my 7 month old mindee. We were out all day and he won't settle to sleep in a buggy. Bit of a problem there as it's the school holidays and we're out every day ! Has no-one explained to him about summer holidays ?

    I had a perfectly behaved and happy baby today, he is usually happy but today he was an absolute star. He played alongside another child the same age this morning and they were very active.

    I took him home and fed him lunch. I was pottering about wiping work top down and putting stuff into dishwasher turned around and he'd fallen fast asleep in his highchair - I took a photo of course.

    Later that afternoon - he got up and walked halfway across the room - what a great day. ~To top it all it is Friday.

    Lol, bless!!

    I have managed to get my little ones into an after lunch sleep routine so most days I get some time to catch up on paperwork and drink a cuppa without it going cold!!
