Hey everyone :)

Welcome to Shannon and Jessalyn and Angel and Kynan (OMG!! Is he 3 months old already!!!) :)

Hope everyone else is doing well..... must admit to being slack and not checking out the last 5 page before they got locked 8-[ .

All is well here, went out to dinner for Mum;s birthday last night and Bas didn't get to sleep until 9.30... but he slept through until 7 this morning, so no complaints here :)

Off to have a shower then go spend some more of my tax return ;)

Hope everyone has a good day and that all our little bubbas behave themselves :D

Hi Girls :)

Welcome to Angel and Shannon... Happy 3months Kynan and Jes :D

I turned my girls around early 8-[ I think the 8kg is just a guide... I think most babies are sitting up around 8kg so it's a safe number. My girls had enough control when I turned them around not to be slouched in a little ball at the bottom of their seat... plus they like it muuuuch more :)

Michelle, Violet has been having yucky nappies... I think it's cause she is on antibiotics.... I had had enough after every nappy change over the passed few days had escaped... so up a nappy size! Which if fine with me cause now Emily and Violet are both in the same nappy size...lol (I usually get the next size up for Em, but she still firs into mediums - 6 to 11kg).
I hope there is no big reason for Alex's yucky nappies

Shannon, enjoy your parents being down.
Emily HATED the car too... even now she sooks!! Which is a pain when to get anywhere form my place you need to travel in the car!

Dee, we were awake at 3:30 last night... after waking every hour b4 that... I think she may have had a pain.... cause there was a poo after I fed her. Anyway... Stop procratinating and try that boy on solids!! lol... It won't kill him... but it will put your mind at rest... you will know if he is ready or not after giving him a try.... Just remember not to force him... if he crys, he isn't ready, if he pushes the food out of heis mouth he isn't ready... just go with what you feel he needs, and I think form your posts you feel he is ready for solids. Maybe don't tell anyone you are going to give him a try, then no-one will know any diff :)

Violet is sooo much better ...PHEW!!! I thought I was going to have to put her in the bin cause she was broken and order a new one...lol...j/k!
She has now discovered how for fake laugh... which is sooo cute!! Still hates on her belly! I remember Emily was up on her hands and knees and almost crawling by this stage... Emily loved on her belly...
Wato bought some materials to build the rabbit a hutch, so that'll keep him busy for a while :)
Swimming today... hmmmm and market day in Shep... can I resist. lol

Tanya

Zola, not long to go and Bas is out of here :( Great to hear that you are getting planty of sleep :)

Tanya

All done Shannon. :)

Hi All!!

Welcome to Shannon and Jessalyn and Angel and Kynan!! Wow 3 months already!

Well the BIG news here is Jacob rolled over yesterday from front to back! Not just once either! So after he had done it for about the 5th time, I let him play on his mat on his back and I was about to jump on here yesterday all excited that he had done it when what does the cheeky monkey do??? He rolled from his back to his front!!! \:D/ He was watching me walk out of the room and whoosh he just flipped himself over and gave me the biggest grin! Mind you as soon as I got out the video camera he decided he was a fish out of water and just laid there LOL!!

Ok I admit I'm naughty and hadn't finished reading the last thread cos I was too excited and wanted to post 8-[

Shannon - have a great time with your parents!

Tanya - glad to read that Violet is better. Awww fake laughs are the cutest!!!

Zola - Nice woo hoo for you with sleep. What a good boy Bas is!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

Just a quick post for now as we are going to the Dr's then i have my hospital appt.
Went to the clinic this morning and Alex has lost 40grms he has always put on 200grms or more. Not sure if it is to do with his poo's he is still doing realy bad ones. Just have to wait and see what the Dr says.

I'll be back later to catch up.

Michelle - hopefully Alex's weight loss is just because he is feeling a little icky? Hopefully the doc can fix him up.

Nat - wow @ little Jacob rolling not only from front to back but back to front! What a clever little chicken!! Gabby has rolled from front to back 7 times in the last couple of months. She allllmost did it again today but, nup, couldn't muster up the strength. It goes to show how differently they all develop, hey? LOL @ him not rolling once the video camera is out. I have only caught one of Gabby's rolls. She gets camera shy once it is out!

Zola - that's great that Bas still slept through the night even though he went to bed later. It's reassuring to know. I find that, provided Gabby can have a snooze wherever we are, she will still sleep even if she goes to bed late. She still wakes up at normal time tho. Have fun spending up big with your tax return! Mine is all gone :( Ahh well!

Tanya - wow @ Emily and Violet being in the same nappies. Em really is a skinny-ribs!! Good to hear Violet is feeling better (and hasn't been chucked in the bin ;) ). Awww @ the fake laugh. The little trickster! Hope you had fun @ the market!

Shannon - have fun with your Mum and Dad down. You never know, you might end up with MORE opportunity to get online ;)

Fi - hope your flight home wasn't too stressful and that you get to catch up on some zzzzzzz's today!

Gab slept from 10-6am last night so *phew*, her wake-ups the night before weren't a sign of things to come. I think she has had a cold. Neil was saying his cold was weird... only a little bit snotty and no cough. So I think she must have had it. She's just coming good today. She still only lasts 2 hours awake tho - it's a bit frustrating because she now only sleeps really well in her cot. Just means I have to be home a lot more now. I managed to string her out to 3 hours this morning (because I didn't want to leave mother's group early) but she was pretty grumpy by the time we got home. The girl loves her sleep - guess I shouldn't complain!

Tanya - I think you`ve got some good advice there re Matthew and solids, I was actually going to go to Bi Lo today and get some rice cereal but we didn`t go near Bi Lo and would you believe it Matthew slept last night from 8.30pm till 7am, I`m not holding my breath after having a week of wake ups how can he suddenly turn around to sleeping through again. Re: the 8kg and sitting up, Matthew was 7.7kg 2 weeks ago and far from sitting up, he`s not even rolling perhaps I should look at 10kg for him before the car seat is turned around. Emily must be a little petite girl, at least it saves you thinking about what size nappy to put on the girls. I`m so glad Violet is better

Michelle - Good Luck at the Dr`s I hope Alex just isn`t feel too well and hope it`s nothing serious. Let us know how you get on at your Hospital appointment as well.

Nat - Double WooHoo for Jacob, he sounds like he`s doing very well and a cheeky little boy.

Deb - Glad to hear that Gabby slept through for you last night.

Zola - Sounds like Bas is sleeping well for you OMG at him being nearly 6 months old where does the time go????

Shannon - Have a great time with your parents.

I`m not sure what I`ve been doing this week but it seems to be all go. Matthew is getting so hot in his car seat, the poor boy is going to cook come summer, I had to strip him off today so he didn`t cook, is anyone else having problems with their babies getting hot?? Not much I can do except to strip him off as it is he was only in Jeans and a T Shirt.

Take Care

Deeanne

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Shannon, hope you have a great time whilst your parents are over. Is this the first time they'll have met Jess?

Zola, yay for Bas sleeping through until 7am!

Tanya, that's great that Violet is much better now. Kynan's not terribly keen on being on his tummy either. He refuses to lift his head a lot of the time even though he's perfectly capable of doing it quite well.

Nat, woohoo for Jacob rolling over both ways! Clever little thing!

Michelle, how did you go at the doctor's? Hope Alex is okay!

Deb, what a relief that Gabby had a decent sleep last night!

Deeanne, yay for Matthew sleeping through last night!

Any ideas on how to encourage Kynan to lift his head during tummy time? I've tried heaps of different toys including musical ones and ones with lights, mirrors, me sitting there talking to him but it just seems like he thinks it's too much effort most of the time LOL. He will have times when he lifts his head and looks around heaps but then he goes for days where it looks like he just can't be bothered LOL.

Dee - I can't really help you there. Gabby does get hot when it's a sunny day when she is in the car seat. I hate her facing the rear because the sun shines in her face sometimes depending on which direction we are travelling. Mind you, I imagine it is much colder here than it is up your way. It must be a pain in the bum to have to strip Matthew off every time you go on a drive. Good to hear he slept through last night. Here's hoping he keeps it up!

Angel - I don't have any suggestions for you either. Gabby has always held her head up super high - like OTT high LOL. Ever since she was just a few weeks old I have had comments from people saying how strong she is in that respect. It hasn't helped her to roll earlier or anything so I don't see how it's an advantage. I wouldn't stress about it too much. You are giving him plenty of tummy time so he'll get it eventually.

Angel - Sorry like Deb I can`t offer you any advice re Kynan not lifting his head, Matthew has been very strong in his neck since he was born but at times like Kynan he can get super lazy and not hold it up as far as he would normally but this only happens if he doesn`t want any tummy time.

Deb - The same happens with Matthew the sun hits him at times that`s one of the reasons why we brought some baby banz sunnies for him. Yeah I hope he keeps this sleeping through the night up but I`m not counting on it.

I got a SMS from my Mum saying that she had a strange dream about me the other night: In her dream I told her I was pregnant again, Mums reply was "Oh so soon, what are you having" My reply was "A girl". I find this funny as that`s exactly what Mum would say to me oh so soon after having Matthew, that`s why no one knows we`re TTC as I`m sure some would think we`re crazy, no one knew when we were TTC Matthew either.

Take Care

Deeanne

Ooooo maybe it's an omen, Dee?? Wow! That would be fast.
I bought Gabby some baby bans too. They are too big for her atm. I got her some orange ones. The strap is flouro orange which I am not too thrilled about but, hey, sunnies are sunnies, right? They will be good for summer. We are hoping to get a new car at the end of the year (a station wagon) so the sun won't be a major issue. Fingers crossed n e way!!

Woo hoo... booked our accomodation for when we go to Echuca in October. We're just staying in cabins at a caravan park - just think it will be easier with the babies. Can't wait to get away for a bit!

I was thinking the same Deb that it could be an omen, be funny if it is.

With the sunnies, they were far too big for Matthew too but all I did was move the velcro through that little hole, you do end up with a loop but at least it fits and Matthew has been wearing them since he was 5 weeks, he didn`t like them at first but he`s ine with them now. A station wagon that would be fantastic and a lot easier to get the pram in and out.

Thanks for the tip, Dee. I might have a fiddle with them. It would be a good idea to get Gabby used to them asap (well... before she gets old enough to simply just rip them off her head).
Yep... that's exactly why I want a station wagon. That and so we can take the dog to the beach without her jumping all over Gabby. Currently, if we want to take Lucy anywhere, she has to sit in the front and I sit in the back with Gabby. 5 star treatment for the bloody dog!! LOL

Angel, Sarah gave us a good idea for tummy time... put a rolled up towel under their chest to elevate them a bit. It encourages them to put their head up....hth

Dee, I didn't tell anyone I was ttc with Violet. I was affraid of the really's and wow, your going to have fun's etc etc...iykwim!! I hope you mum's dream was right!! Are you going to try for a pink one this time (timing, alkalinity etc etc). Like I have said I would love to try for a boy but I think I am living in a dream land...lol

Nat... what a clever boy you have there... very cheeky too by the sounds!!

Michelle I hope Alex is ok!! Heaps and heaps of hugs from us!!

Didn't go tot the market today :D Although I did buy Emily's birthday pressie... we got her a rose gold charm bracelet... we had to get a jump link put on it cause it is adult size and the catch wouldn't fit through the links to make it smaller.... It was on sale from $225 (or something like that to $99.50... so it was worth thte extra $25 to get the extra link put on.

Tanya

Love my station wagon :D I would love to get a ****y seat for it too... but dunno where to get one.

Tanya

We saw the Dr and Alex has a tummy bug if he is no better i have to take him to the hospital tonight or tomorrow. I have lost count how many times i have changed him today. Just hope he starts to keep something inside him soon. He is feeding ok but it is just coming straight out again.
