Hi Kate and welcome, I a little bit of and irregular regular here but I pop on at times to keep up. Some of us have been together since conception. chatting heaps back then, generally this is still a pretty busy bunch which is why I have slowed down a bit, hard to keep up at times but it is great to see what other bubs are doing at around the same age.
We dropped to one sleep about 2 weeks ago, same reason, hard to get Caden down for his second sleep of the day. I have been holding him out til about 2pm and he sleeps for up to 2 hours, usually about 145 and sometimes up to 2.5 hours. Not a set time yet. But he is generally much happier for it. Caden has bitten me a couple of times, usually when trying to climb up and he uses his teeth to get more leverage, my DH thinks it really funny, I don't. The second time he bit me like that I instinctively reacted and smacked him, to my own horror as I had no control of the response, the bite hurt so much I had tears on my eyes and I had a bruise for about a week. (Can't be sure that the tears didn't come from Caden's response at being hit) Since that bite he hasn't done it again. not that I would say that is the ideal response it just happened but seems to have worked.
Anyway a long welcome, happy chatting and I'm sure I can say that we'll all love to hear about your son and other kids too!

hi and welcome Kate!
My son Nixon was born on the 17th April and i am pg with baby 2 (another boy) due in October.
I was going to ask everyone the question on sleeps as just int he last 3 days Nixon has only wanted to go to sleep once during the day. Yesterday i was out but DH said he had almost 2hrs, but in the morning and was awake from about 1pm. I tried putting him down in the arvo and he screamed his head off. He was so hyper i dont know where his energy came from! But then he went to bed withouth any dramas at 7.30pm and slept in till 8.30am thismorning!
Nixon's main mode of getting around is still crawling, but he has taken a few more steps here and there. DH and i stand a few feet apart and he walks to and from the both of us!
His new thing he does is gives us kisses! its sooooo cute, he leans forward and kisses with his mouth wide open!

Hey
Kate - Sarah also has her bday on 17/4/06. we went down to 1 sleep just b4 she started walking but occasionally we have 2 put her down again in the arvo if she's getting easily frustrated. I too am pg with #2, due august 13th so only 6 weeks to go!
Joy - I too have found that the smack really stops the biting. she thinks 'no' is a game until she gets 1.
Abs - good to here no chance of jen being pg, just thought that it could b possible to have the usual pg symptom... oh well i have pg brain so prob not making much sense...
Check out the pg notices if u get a chance!!! got good news from my sis!
-
geee i am such a liar!
my Due date with sarah was 17/04/06 but she arrived 26/04/06! i need sleep and labour! does anyone have a spare brain to donate coz mine is obviously non existent!
-
Thank you everyone.
Joy - the biting does hurt doesn't it. Ive been saying no sturnly but he just laughs at me! Anyway he doesn't seem to do it as much as he used to so hopefully he will grow out of it soon.
Nic- wow that is amazing - 13 hours straight sleep. I would love a sleep in til 8.30! don't think it will ever happen though. My boys have always been early risers up and ready to go by 6.30.
Ali - good luck with the end of your pregnancy. That will be really nice to have two girls close together. My boys are really starting to play with each other now and it is great tp watch. They really entertain each other and will hopefully be great mates one day.

hi everyone sorrry ive been quiet but poor little jess has had the cold and it wont go away .she ended up with a chest infection and ear infection now shes got another cold.shes been on so many anti bodtics i hate them i know you need them but who really knows if they are any good.she got weighed the other day she is 13 kilos and 80cms long.

I have now been given permission to tell any1 i like. I'm gonna b an aunty!!!! Danniellabella (if u ever c 1 of her posts) is my sister and after 11 and 1/2 months trying is finally pg! so my kids n her kids will b close together.
13 hours is not unusual in our house coz I dont go to her unless she is emotional. often she goes back to sleep because she is usually just letting me know she's awake. Midnight food calls again are gonna b a shock to the system!
-
I'm the same with the 13 hour thing - last night charlie was so tired from daycare he went to bed straight after his tea and bath at 6.30 and woke up at 8 am this morning!
Kate - I remember charlie used to wake up that early for the first 6 months - i thought it was going to kill me - now he is sleeping till atleast 7.30 -8 am and ican handle that.

Im sick of runny noses and colds as well Jesabell. My Sam seems to get over a cold only to pick up something else the next week! All these colds are mean't to build up their immune system though so that is something positive i guess! Last night i gave him some dimetap, put the baby balsam on and his vaporiser and he slept great.
I have to vent about food! - Sam used to eat anything i put in front of him but the last few days he'll take a couple of mouthfuls and then start spitting it out (very frustrating). Even his weetbix in the morning is being spat out. Where has my baby gone that used to eat anything???!!! Im hoping its his cold putting him off and he'll get back to normal soon.
Ali - my sister is due with her first baby in October. I will be a first time Aunty as well. She just found out shes having a boy. Congrats to your sister.

Kate - I am the same with charlie and food - he keeps spiting it out at me saying - no more no more - he eats what ever i have for tea but i can't give it to him he has to do it himself or he won't eat it at all. he has a bit of a cold so i'm also hoping it is just to do with that.
-
i know what u mean jess loves her food but lately wont touch it i ever tried her favourite food noodles .all she is eating is apples which i cant complain least shes eating something today she has been screaming all day i dont know if it is her cold or she getting another tooth i even took her for a drive to get her asleep didnt work.at the moment shes quiet hi-fives on she loves it she wont move when hi-fives on.
-
I put charlie into a big bed last night ( well not really a big bed but my cot turns into a bed so i took the side of it. he didn't fall out which is good - he has had 2 sleeps in it today and he hasn't fallen out then either - i'll have to wait and see what happens - I'll leave him in the cot/bed for a month then i'll get him a real bed.
-
Wow Charlie's ready 4 a big bed already!
Danni's due date is 11/03/08. 2 days b4 my birthday! fantastic pressie if u ask me
