Angels and Devils

Freyja went to her first birthday party today - and it was fancy dress too! Jem turns 1 tomorrow and celebrated in true Halloween stylee with an Angels and Devils themed birthday bash, complete with a moustashioed Silas dressed up as a convict and Absinthe fairy cakes for the grown-ups. Wahey! Freyja, who spent all of Saturday throwing up, and is also cutting her two top teeth, was a very cross little angel indeed.....

All Night!

Oh My God, she slept from 7pm - 6.30am!! First time ever. I have held off writing that she has stopped having the 10pm feeds for fear of jinxing it, but she has been going without them for about 4 nights now and last night I didn't even have to go in to her. Adrian went in at 10pm-ish when she squeaked but she was actually still asleep.

She has been amazing - I've been horribly ill with this sinusitis. Honestly felt like I could die yesterday - my head was throbbing and I felt fluey. Freyja was such an angel - she didn't demand anything all day, just sat quietly with me or played by herself with her toys. And then slept all through the night!

Ouch

Oh, it isn't fun looking after a baby when you are ill! I have sinusitis - I feel like my forehead is about to burst open and it throbs unbearably every time I stand up or lean forward. I feel for migraine suffers - I never knew a headache could be so debilitating, and I only have blocked sinuses.

Grown-up Crawling

After 2 months of belly crawling Freyja has finally got up onto her hands and knees and is off! No more commando stylee here, thank you very much!
