I watched as my best friend was married yesterday. Over the many years of our friendship we have shared and supported each other through every facet of life..... births, deaths, marriages, divorces, birthdays, illness, applauded the achievements of children, commiserated the mistakes and laughed, cried and loved through it all. I truly don't remember ever having an angry word between us! I am so happy for her and thrilled to see her re-united with the man she believes to be her one. To my most steadfast and loyal friend I wish you all the joy in the world.
Onto other things, I have re-discovered knitting and am attempting my first project...a headband for Mim's birthday! I have actually knitted the headband part and am now making some felted heart shapes to sew on. I am extremely proud of myself as I was able to cast on and purl and cast off all by my own self!! Once I have finished this I must get back to my cross stitch as I am way behind on a sampler, and I have two birth samplers to start and complete before August.
It might be time to start Jed on solids in the next week or so. He seems ready, he watches us eating with what appears to be interest. Now that he has cut his first tooth (Thurs 10th May, 28 weeks) he seems so very grown up. I will take him for a visit to the osteo first to see if anything can be done for his digestive system and his sleeping. I don't want to overload him. Probably a good idea to wait until he can sit by himself as well, it always seems a little strange to have to prop a baby up in order to feed him!
Also it might be time to think about moving him into a cot. He is starting to look a little cramped in the hammock, and it might be contributing to his sleeplessness. I'm not sure if it is the cramped sleeping quarters, the gastro attack that has put him into a bad sleep pattern or the teething! Whatever the cause, I hope we find an answer soon as I am starting to show the effects of sleep deprivation.

Going to catch some sleep now!
