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.
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.
Wow! All your bubbies are doing so well!!
Yesterday we got our first laugh! (cant stop him now!) And today we got our first roll over (kind-a). Unfortunatly it was while he was laying on our shop counter, but I got him before he fell off, if only he had waited till we got home and had some floor time. I some times wonder if having to run a business as well as raise him would be detrimental to his development. At least we know he's a "people" person. He loves chatting up the customers from his pozzy on the counter.
Does any one still have probs with the hernias? I remember before, when I joined this forum we all seemed to have umbilical hernias. Hunters has just about resolved now. It got up to the size of a 20cent piece.
No teeth yet...(thank heavens).. the reflux is enough, but the medication seems to be working. He's just hungry ALL the time, some times feeding hourly, The Paed wants us to try solids, ...easier said than done... he pushes it out of his mouth and then smooshes it everywhere, I'm still finding rice porrage on the sofa, my clothes, hair.......
We tried solids, and I am back off them now as his cheeks reddened. I have him on an ultradose of probiotics and yeast killing again. He seemed ok on banana and pear, but I gave him organic brown baby rice and I think grains are too harsh on his little system yet. Solids are only for the taste at this age anyway... so I'm not too concerned.
His sleep is up ***** creek again as his second tooth hit the surface.
Boy oh boy o, I hate the first year! I love it, but I also hate it. Is that possible?
We tried some rice cereal on Monday night, Baxter's face said it all! Never again! The video DH took is priceless. So he had a little suck on an apple wedge and didn't mind it. I'll mash up some banana at lunchtime and see how he goes with that.
Sorry to you all with bubs still waking overnight, please don't hate me when I say that Baxter slept from 8.00pm til 7.00am last night....longest sleep ever, the past three mornings he's woken at 5.50am, only to come into bed with us and go back to sleep. Cheeky monkey!
Also, Happy Half Birthday Baxter! See my ticker. And to all our bubs too!
Going away for the weekend, we have a wedding in Mandurah, DH is in the bridal party and I am saying a reading, looking forward it.
Hope you are all well.

PS - no teeth yet, AND we are still wrapping! Argh!
