I always love reading what other mums and bubs are up to, so here is our story;
DS has been rolling since 5.5 months, sitting up since appr. 7 months, crawling since 9 months and started to pull himself up on me last week. He loves walking when I hold his hands and stands up against the coffee table. Plenty of stacks as balance isn't great and he forgets to hold onto something. He has never been a great talker but the last few weeks he is starting to make more noises; smacking his lips for eating (even when the cats/dogs/horses are eating) and shouting when he sees something exciting. No words just yet. He is learning to wave atm; just puts his arm out and sometimes opens his hand. He throws hissy fits if I try to feed him something and he wants something else and when he doesn't respond to 'no' and I take him away.
He has two naps a day, usually awake for 2.5-4 hours and used to sleep well at night (12 hours with one night feed) but that has gone out the window for the last couple of weeks. He now sleeps reasonably well between 7pm and 12 and wakes up hourly after that. In the same time his daysleeps have increased from appr. 1 hour to up to 2 hours. At the moment in the process of reducing his day sleeps to see if his night sleep will improve.
He does not have any teeth yet. He eats 3 solid meals per day and 1 or 2 snacks. He does not like vegies, but he does eat them if they are mixed with rice cereal, so at the moment we are decreasing the amount of rice cereal slowly; so far so good. he loves his fruit, yoghurt, cheese and sandwiches and meat/fish.
I don't know what he is upto weight wise as he hasn't been weighed since 6 months, but we just went up to size 0 clothing, so I know he is growing (has always been in the lower percentage for weight). That's it for now, have to go wake bubby up!
By the way; the best way to catch up with mum with bubs the same age is to join the baby buddies group of the month your little one was born. You can find this in Baby & Toddler General discussion subforum Babybuddies (https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-baby-buddies/)!!!
Welcome to BB
Flynn has been sitting up since 5.5 mths. He learned to sit up from laying down about 3 or 4 days before he started crawling. He started crawling at just before 8 mths. He pulls himself to standing a lot and he will walk if you hold his hands.
He eats 3 meal a day and sometimes has snacks, depends on how much he sleeps. He eats pretty well what we eat and he loves it! he is sleeping thru the night which is just grand
He is heaps of fun and a bit of mischief at the moment but I love it.
Like Esme said, join a belly buddies group. You will meet some great mums
