Congratulations Mel - good on you for making it through the training and the run.
We're all good here. DS is soooooo lovely at the moment. I'm trying to encourage him to sit up as he has nearly grown out of the rocker. Being a reflux baby, he only lasts on his tummy for very shor periods of time - 5 mins max, and will lie on his back for about 10 mins at a time (but it has to be at least an hour after a feed).
He's also giggling and laughing like nothing else. I just love this stage so much. Must weigh him this week for his records and to compare him to DD. 2 weeks ago he was 6.2kg and 68cm tall, with a pin head of 39cm. He looks like a little budda as he's short for his weight. Getting some lovely comments in relation to this too. He was called 'Matt Dunning' on the weekend. My poor bubba.
DD has been good but started waking at night over the last 2 weeks, for nothing in particular. Seems like she just wants company. "Pat, Pat mummy?" "water?". but it's sending me batty. Last night she cried on and off for 2 hours - not real crying, just whinging. I got up to her twice during that time, and I attended to DS twice to feed and 3 times to extend the feed times with the dummy. Pretty tired today.
No solids happening here. DD started at 5 1/2 months and I'll start DS at a similar time. Lots of people from mothers group have started their bubs though.
Thanks Nell. I have to diagree with you on DS being a budda. He is quite tall for 6.2kg. Edward is nearly 9kg at last weigh in and is 69cm long, both measurements at the 95th percentile. I haven't had budda comments, just general big and tall comments. You are hanging round the wrong people.
I think that the eldest child is always going to be the challenge. I expect Edward to cry and wake up etc cause he is a baby, but when Byron does it it is just annoying! I got a full night out of Byron for the first time in ages, and only got up once for Edward, and feel so much better today! I hope DD starts sleeping properly for you soon.
Well NellNell if you have a buddha I have a giant lol Spence was 72.5cm at 4months so lets just say he is on his own line and it is well above the 97th percentile he weighs 7.22kgs my gorgeous bub well just a quick one I'm off to bed so chat soon
