Hey there! Welcome (back? Do I remember your username??).
As Seq said, we're a bit spazmodic with our posts... I think we're all just cruising along now and there aren't too many issues so we don't think to get too much support in here like we used to as new Mummies..
My little man is teething constantly (has 6 teeth - 4 top, 2 bottom) so can get a bit whingy from that, otherwise he's a happy little guy who's just doing his thang...
Oh Nettie, we've just had the worst fortnight with DS. He has almost a full mouth of teeth, heaps of molars. Finally started to sleep through again about 4 nights ago.
We're getting ready to move into our new house! It's a beautiful 4 x 2 that DH and I designed, oh gosh, I can't wait!
Hehe nettie that is correct you do recognise my username
the best thing i have found for teething is baltic amber. I got one when dd first started getting her molars and haven't had any issues with teething since and she has sprouted three molars since.
The poor thing is sick at the moment with the cold. First sickness for her, and i would say she is handling it pretty well.
She isn't walking yet she did start but had a bit of a fall and wont do it again by herself.
Looking forward to getting to know you all, and some of you again
OMG, I have not checked in here in ages! I can't believe its been over two months since they turned 1. Thanks Sequoia for checking on me! I'm still here. Jack as been doing really well, such a happy little guy. He talks like a little parrot! So cute. He has about 20 words now and even uses them together occasionally (like, hello mummy, or kitty hug... so cute!!). And OMG, he has the cheekiest little sense of humor! His latest trick is pretending to hurt himself and coming over to me whilst 'crying' then jumping up and down and laughing when I offer him sympathy! I think I'll have to read him the boy who cried wolf!
Unfortunately we are yet to have a sleep-through of any form. He really has been the most shocking sleeper. Most nights he wakes at least 4 times, which is a massive improvement on the 10-12 times he woke each night consistently from 0-10 months!! How do I cope I hear you ask? ... especially since I've been back at work for the last 5 months?? Well, to be honest I really don't know. I guess I have just adjusted after 14 months of broken sleep. I now find that as long as I have at least 4 hours over night I am ok. Even better if he gives me at least one 3 hour stretch (which does not always happen). So we are still co-sleeping full time as that is the only way I can survive this!
Call me crazy, but we also plan to start trying for another one next month. I must be completely mad...
OMG Leyla! 20 words, what a little chatterbox! Every word here is "Dad". I am Dad, the fridge is Dad, milk is Dad. Upside is when he wakes up in the morning, he calls for "Dad"! He is getting clever though, we ask him to clap hands, and he does. We ask him to brush his hair, and he does. And he can touch his nose now when I ask, so cute!
YAY on having number 2! Fingers crossed for you sweetie.
Hehe at Liam clapping for himself! Gosh, I love this age. I don't want to wish away his babyhood but I can't wait until he can talk. I think DS would have some funny things to say. He is just like his daddy!
