Lost my post!

Boo, lost my last entry...
Anyway, we've now had the third set of jags so thankfully no more until she's one year old. She screamed the place down, but as usual, settled as soon as a bottle was in her mouth! The health visitor was quite happy at us weaning early since she's so hungry and such a big baby. So we got some info on weaning and a weaning group which I will go along to soon :-) we have been eating baby porridge which she loves. If you haven't shovelled the next spoonful in her mouth quick enough, she cries or shouts!
We've also tried Ella's kitchen purees (of course...!) And she hated the brocolli pear and pea one. Lots of shivers and gags...it sounds gross but Kenny and I quite liked it! She also tried strawberry and banana pure which she liked. And I've just pureed a load of sweet potato for the freezer. :-)
We went to a jubilee garden party at Tamsin's house in Polmont. We went with Kelly and Ava on our first train journey. We didn't drop any babies down the gap, result! I had a serious bout of baby brain when I got to the party and realised that i had bought party food, paid for it at the self serve checkout and left the bag in sainsburys...d'oh. Was a great day with lots of babies and mummies.
I can finally see a little tooth just poking through on the top gum. Cute but omg is she irritable when it's bothering her. Thankfully we've not had a screaming banshee yet though.
Last 2 nights I have been attempting to start a bedtime routine rather than sitting waiting til 11pm or later (!) To feed and put her to bed. Last night she had a little play until about 8pm, tired herself out. Then I took her through to the bedroom to get pjs on and give a little massage using a few of the things we've learnt at baby massage with a little sing song. Then she went straight to sleep, she woke up 5 mind later had a little cry for less than 5 mind and then drifted off again. Result. Well...if she hadn't continued to wake up just for a pat on the back about 5 times through the night it would've been a result. Knackered.com. but i will continue for 2 weeks at least to see if it helps.
Oh yes, we've started baby massage, can't remember if I've mentioned this before. It's been 2 weeks now, and of course the first week Ella missed half the class due to feeding! At least it wasn't sleeping like her usual trick at baby sensory class (we successfully stayed awake for the full sensory class this week, just!!) But the second week of massage she stayed awake and didn't get grumpy until the end of the class when he had to rush off for immunisations anyway.
Ahhh she's fell asleep after her bottle and porridge brekkie now so i can get a coffee and hang up the washing...oh exciting!
