Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

YAY - we now, after many months, own a Wiiiiiiiiiiii !!!

It's so difficult to purchase one here in the US! For some crazy reasons, they dont stock it online... no matter, i have one now, and i cant wait till twin arrives to play with it with me! (Chantelle's a bit young to play with it.. im sure some other crazy computer gadget will be around when she discovers technology)

Chantelle is feeding&sleeping well.
She likes her baths a lot more.. however, no matter how clean i get her, after the next feeding, she is smelling like milk again.
This week have started to train her to soothe herself to sleep without any of the rocking motions to help her. Charles usually bounces her on her bouncer but i dont like it when she falls asleep in there. Gets her too use to the rocking motion to assist her to sleep and then transferring her to the crib is hard.
So, i feed her, burp her, then place her in the crib and walk away... when she WAA* for attention i return, soothe her and then walk away again. It takes about an hr - 1 1/2 before she drops off to sleep, but at least its not a strain on the arms (from carrying her) and it lets me do things while she's in the crib.
Have slowly let her sleep in the crib without swaddling her. Her hands/ arms tend to get in the way whilst she is trying to sleep. So good, she is gaining independence of her bodily functions...
