Another walk with Mummy in the pouch. I have a tendency to fall asleep 15 minutes before getting home so Mummy has to sit around the house with me still in the pouch for a bit so that I don't wake up. After that the people from IKEA dropped off the stuff Mummy and Daddy bought yesterday.
Mummy and Daddy built their new bed today, and it looks smashing. It took them quite some time so they are leaving the wardrobe for tomorrow. Mummy is hooked on this email community called Madrid Recicla, where people put up stuff they no longer need for other people to pick up (we got my travel cot that way), and put the old bed frame up for grabs.
Bottle still not convincing me - Mummy and Daddy are looking in various books and websites to see if there are any methods they should be using.
Speaking of books, Mummy is reading Besame Mucho, a sort of anti-Estivill hippy love-in method to bringing up babies (Dr. Estivill is the Spanish version of Dr. Ferber, with a similar "let the damn creature scream his head off or even vomit" approach to infant sleep problems). While Mummy and Daddy think Estivill*/Ferber may be a tad on the cruel side Mummy is also hating this book which seems to be the complete antithesis. Its basic premise seems to go on the lines of "you don't see adults needing their parents to fall asleep/ share their toys / drink a bottle / tie their shoelaces, so don't bother doing anything as it will all work out in the end".
