    We had a nightmare couple of MONTHS with teething. About four days ago his finally popped through the gum after an even more hellish couple of weeks. The second bottom one is about a day away if it follows the same pattern. His whole gumline is white and sore looking, I think he'll teethe in a big dose at once.

    Still no word about the thread... he just woke, gotta run

    We have teeth too!!

    The first one came through about two weeks ago and wasnt too bad.

    Poor miss MJ has been sick with UTI though and it seems is allergic to penicillian.. she came up in ahuge rash with 4 does of the anti b and it has now gone since starting non penicillain Anti b


    Sound like everone bubs are doing fab!!

    I think Mj is a bit behind my other twos girls developement, as Annika was crawling at this age and well Mj still cant sit up unassisted and only rolls...prob my fault as i dont put her down on the floor very often as its seems quite dangerous for her with my other two terrors in her face all the time.

    Hey
    Sorry, its been a while since ive poped in, i cant say its coz isabells been keeping me on my feet either...
    The only person teething in this house is me...one of my wisdom teeth are cutting thru, surprisingly it doesnt hurt, just sharp but with the way isabells been the past few days, i wouldnt be surprised if she cut a tooth...but then it could also be a million and one other things...
    I got "THe Wonder Weeks" the other day, and it is so amazing to know about all the fussy periods, and why they happen.
    Our bubs are looking to have a clingy fussy period soon...and can lats for 4 weeks!!! Im horrified, i keep thinking that this is what isabell is experiencing, but then i think its not...its all so confusing.
    Any way its coz at this stage bubs are realising that mummy can distance themselves from them, and bubs being immobile they get clingy and upset, but they usually start being mobile after this fussy period...
    Isabell is spinning herself around when on her tummy, and trying to get her legs under her to get in the crawling position. And on occasion has moved .5 of a metre by slightly commando crawling.

    But apart from all that not much happening with us lol. Trying to sell our house, which is annoying coz we are getting nowhere...and i really wanna move, like NOW lol...
    Going to visit IL's on wednesday, good 2-3 hour trip, so hoping isabell sleeping thru it.

    Oh my gosh! Isabell is sitting on my lap and litereally exploding!! Her poor bum!! Nappy time i think!! Eugh!

    Hello! I'm new to the forums, thanks to my mum finding it for me

    Our DS was born April 9 (6 days over) at 7lb 4oz.
    Talking about teeth, I'm still waiting for Michael's bottom 2 to come through, well, move up to the gum at least! The dribble has been soaking his clothes for a couple months now and still nothing at all. Maybe soon, hopefully. Butterfly_Princess, I know how you feel about your wisdom tooth, I had one come down the other day, was surprised it didn't hurt me either, just really sharp like you said.
    DS is coming along well. He will sit there unassisted for however long he will before he'll whinge or topple himself over onto his belly. Still not getting up on all fours but he does turn around in circles and push off things (like walls) with his feet to move forward. He is more interesting in jumping this past week though since getting the activity table off DP's mum, so all he wants to do is sit in that all the time now. I think it may be because he can move about in it rather than being stuck on his belly. He'll learn one day! He has also started with 'dadad' & the occasional 'dad' in the past week! Oh its so cute! But the squealing is driving me nuts, lol.

    Hi Kitty! I love the talking at this age. He seems so passionate about whatever the heck it is he is ravign about with all the "nadaddaad daaad dadadada manadad!!"


    Beatrix, I have found oil of oregano a godsend for infections and colds etc. Rub onto the feet, or if you are brave put a drop into some food or milk - it is really spicy and kinda burns a little when taken orally, but not for long. It kills EVERYTHING. In studies it has out performed all the antibiotics such as penicillin by quite a stretch. Good for ear infections and even cleaning the air (put into oil burner for that). One drop diluted in a teaspoon or less of coconut or olive oil wiped under the nose helps sinus too, and helps clear their blocked up noses.

    Make sure it is the true wild oregano, there are many fakes out there.

    Oh its great, hehe, I can't get enough of it. I'm trying everyday just to hear 'dad', but no matter how many times I say it I either get a squeal or just 'dadadadad'.

    I might keep that in mind about the oil of oregano, I hate antibiotics. DS has only been on them once so far & that was for staph. I just don't want him to have any more antibiotics because I did hear once too much antibiotics makes their immune system weak.

    hi everyone

    fire that teething sounds awful. bet you're dreading the arrival of the rest of them now! we don't have any teeth yet but there has been some ferocious chewing going on so who knows...

    kitty your ds sounds like he's coming along well. i don't think many babies canget up on all fours properly at this age - dd is doing it but only for a few moments at a time. ds used to get up and rock back and forth not knowing what to do next - it was so cute!

    beatrix hope mj's all better now.

    hi butterfly princess have you finished cleaning up izabell's nappy yet? good luck with that long drive, i haven't tried one of those yet but have some longer trips coming up.

    dd is rolling around nicely, exploring all corners of the loungeroom. her sleeping is still incredibly hopeless - i won't bother going into it but i'm telling myself she's just SO interested in the world she doesn't want to miss anything... either that or she was sent to torture me. good thing she's so cute or she would have been returned to the hospital long ago!

    on that note must go and begin the long process of attempting to get her to bed.

    hi also to lisylee and nettie and anyone else i've missed.
