YIKES, I really have dropped off the face of the internet haven't I? I have so so many months of Millipede catch-ups to do, and months and months of general life news to. But right now I am tired.
So so so so very tired.
Millipede has reached a plethora of "stages" seemingly simultaneously; teething, crawling, separation anxiety, and an apparent 9 month sleep regression stage. At least I'm using all those as reasoning for his horrendous nights at the moment. And when I say horrendous I mean I can no longer form whole words, let alone sentences.
Luckily during the daytime he is the cutest, most gorgeous, adorable thing on the face of the planet. It's a survival mechanism. A very very clever one ;)
But check this for a *can't think of a good word, insert one here, with your own well functioning brains*... during the night he will wake if my clothing brushes softly against a wall, and just every hour anyway, but today he slept through the smoke alarm going off right outside his bedroom door! TWICE!!!!!!!

My first guy was like that. He was a totally different little baby at night! I would have never been able to keep up a blog when he was a baby.
Lovely to hear from you Flossy-P! Sounds like lots going on with you, and that little millipede is keeping you on your toes. I have no idea what it must be like, though I have no doubt it is exhausting. Thankfully he is delightful during the day to make up for keeping you awake!
As for blogging, I am in awe of anyone with children who can ever manage to blog - I only have myself to worry about, and I struggle!
Never fear, we will still be here whenever you want to drop by.
How funny! Paige wakes if I open the door to the laudry room but has slept through numerous other things. The only thing I can think is that they've programmed themselves somehow. If I'm opening the laundry door, I'm right next to hers, and she thinks I will come get her soon. Not really sure why there is such an obvious distinction. So happy to hear from you! Take care!
Hi Flossy, Sorry to hear that
Millepede isn't sleeping well.
I had troubles with number one's sleep but I just kept asking questions from tresillian, karitane, child health nurses, books, other parents and I got the answers eventually. Number 2 was a breeze when it comes to sleep because I knew what I was doing. :)
Loved you tea down the back story btw.
Oh GOD! You mean they keep regressing?! BLAH!
If things haven't improved by the 20th (ish) will come and have a serious chat with Miller vis a vis the importance of sleeping and/ or letting your mum sleep too. Failing that - I will make you the best goddamn cup of tea you have ever had (promise not to pour down you back either)
xxx the not so small ferret
I've got the most horrible sleeper in the world. She's ten months old and she gives me an average of 4 hours a night (if I'm lucky). She just wants to stay up and smile and poke me in the face and pull my hair a little. You know, its hard. They don't tell you how hard it is. But they are only little for a little time. I am actually impressed at how little sleep one needs to function! And you know, I put her on my lap, we sit up and she coos and giggles whilst I edit photos. I've never been so productive in my life!! Embrace the sleep deprivation! This said, I drink a truck load of coffee and have wrinkles on my wrinkles. I love seeing blog posts from you - I know you are busy busy busy but we do love them!
I'm amazed that you have coherently strung these words together! It sounds like a very, very, challenging time. Here's hoping your hard times now mean you'll sail through toddlerhood and teen angst unscathed! Big hugs to you and your adorable little millipede. xx
I feel for you!
I promise it gets a lot easier, especially physically, as they get older!!!
On a lighter note, we have your "Where do babies come from?" print hanging on the bathroom wall and everyone in my house adores it!
