I have been so slack with writing...so I will endeavour to catch up now and stay on top of it!

Ok Xavier is starting to sleep better of a night now. We had a couple of nights where he was waking every 2 hours. I think that this is a combination of a few things. He sleeps on his tummy now and has also started to get up onto his knees. NOOOOOOO I am not ready for my little baby to be moving already! But it seems that he is a determined little fellow and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is soon crawling! He is so strong and spends most of his awake time on the floor in his tummy. He loves reaching out for things and trys his hardest to get to it. He reaches and stretches and wriggles his way over to it! We are going to have to be super careful with things on the ground, especially grace’s stuff. Xavier has already poked himself on the face with a pencil and gagged on a piece of paper that he chewed up! He is such a happy little boy. He mainly spends his awake time playing on his tummy and watching Grace. He has been sleeping on his tummy and is now having longer naps during the day. A typical day for Xavier is wake at about 5.30am, bed 7.30am sleep until 9am, sleep at 10.30am and then wake at about 12 noon. He then has another sleep sometime in the afternoon. He goes to sleep really easily most of the time, sometimes just needs a little pat on the bum!
His teeth look so close to cutting! I wonder if he will be like his big sister and get them at 5 months! I guess we will find out next week!!

Grace is just growing and learning too quickly for me to keep up! Her language skills are just booming and she is confidently venturing into little sentences. It’s so cute having a conversation with her! She answers properly and her manners are just gorgeous! She say’s “No thank-you” and “Yes please”.
