Over and out
There are various milestones that health professionals like to use to measure a child's development. For example, smiling, holding objects, recognising mum and dad's voice, passing objects from one hand to another, sitting up, rolling over. Rolling over usually occurs around 3 to 6 months, but Katie has never been able to do this, or so we thought until 4.30am this morning!
We have 3 lovely lads staying with us this weekend and so Katie is sharing our room. Some parents may think this is great, but not us. She is a beautiful, funny, lovely baby during the hours of 7am-7pm, but the gurgles and babbles are not quite so cute at 4am! Now, we didn't think it right to just put her on the floor, so we moved her mattress into our room. She awoke around 4am and sounded particularly playful, but because of the time, we tried our best to ignore her. I had a sneaky peak to make sure she was ok, and noticed that not only was she out of her covers, but that she was also on her side very close to the edge of the bed. I did what all normal people would do at that time of the morning, ignored her, rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. That was until we heard a muffled thud followed by a slight wimper. Yes not only had she rolled over but she had rolled completely out of bed onto the floor. Fortunately she had taken her cuddly toy 'Mungo' with her and he softened the fall- what a hero!

Go Mungo, not only did you lead Katie astray but you also saved her!
Hi
Just a thought but we used to have Abi in her basket with sheets and blankets but she would kick her covers off. Then we started putting her in a sleeping bag and she really settles in them. I didnt like the idea at first but its been great for Abi. You can get the grobags but the supermarkets also do them and a lot cheeper if you want to try them they come in tog ratings we got a 2:5 thats equivlant to a sheet and two blankets. But Mungo did save the day
