111+7 Weeks

The great news for this week is that every night Arley has been having a bottle at 7pm, then only waking up for one feed in the night before his bottle at 7am!  He started this at 6 weeks old, which is SO GREAT!!  Carmen didn't do this until 4 months, so we are counting our lucky stars.  Arley is now 7 weeks old, and he is still fairly easy going.  He gets cranky sometimes, but I just have to put him in the sling and he calms right down and nods off.  Mum has him tonight, which I am very thankful for, because somehow this week I came down with both tonsillitis and conjunctivitis :(  Impressive, huh?  But apart from this, we have had a good week, with fantastic weather and a nice trip to the beach.  Carmie is still in swimming lessons, and having a blast but totally acting up - she wants to float when the other two kids are paddling, and jump in when she is supposed to be sitting on the edge.  But she loves it, so every Saturday I take her and hope that she is going to be well behaved.  The good thing is, she can "fall in" to the pool and turn around and pull herself out again, so the lessons have been worth it besides all the fun that she has.  Next thing I know I'll be taking Arley too, so I'd better get used to it :)
