Klee - I really wouldn't worry about the rolling. I stressed when Izzy started rolling and would always put her back on her back when she first did it. The only thing that happened was she got really frustrated and sleep took longer than normal - and I always found her on her tummy later anyway. Elena is already sleeping on her tummy (her choice) or her side and is sleeping sooooo much better. I really wouldn't worry too much - they've all got pretty good neck strength now so you don't have to worry about face planting into the mattress. And OMG at your nephew walking at 7 months. When I said it wouldn't matter I'm not sure if I mean it hearing that!!
Jodi- ur child free holidays coming up sound fantastic! I would give anything for even just a night alone with DH. He has been doing some crazy shift work lately so were more like ships passing in the night at the moment.
We?ve got a week booked at Palm beach on the Gold coast from Dec 17. We really like the spot there and thought with the 2 littlies this time, we?ll just have a chilled time away as we?ll still be fitting in the kids sleeps during day. Will just be nice to spend some quality family time together.
Laranna- enjoy the time while your mans staying still- he can?t make as bigger mess when he cant move all over the place. Trust me, you?ll look back in time and only wish that he could stay still. Congrats (informally I guess) on the TTC part also.
How lucky you were too not to lose your handbag- must have been your day! Hope ur feeling better.
Klee- how cool that you come thru ballarat. We?ll have to catch up for a coffee next time you come thru
Blanche- saw your pics of the kids on FB- My god, Jack really is just about off & running. Macey isn?t even close to pulling her knees up yet. I?m thinking that Jack will be running well before he?s 1!
ok best be off so I can get macey back up for last feed and get myself to bed at a half reaosnable time. DH's off on night shift again tonight so cross your fingers that the kiddies sleep thru 4 me
hi ladies sorry for not posting sooner it has been a busy week!
Beckstar- yes i cant believe how close Jack is to crawling he gets up on his hands and knees and is rocking so im guessing not long till hes off and going!! he really hates been stuck in one spot he wants to follow his sister to much lol!
Fingers crossed to kids sleep threw for u..
Beckstar - your holiday sounds lovely. We've just done the same sort of thing in Sydney and like you say, you're pretty limited when you still want the kids to stick to their routine but it is really nice to just spend time together without the normal household chores to do.
Blanche - I think the older sibling is definitely a kick along for bubs to start moving isn't it. Hopefully Jack will be off and racing soon.
Elena is well and truly crawling properly now. No more commando crawling - up on her knees and off. I've spent the last few days dragging her back from the stereo, cds, tv etc. She tries to follow Izzy constantly. Izzy is loving the attention and now spends a lot of time racing over and giving Elena huge cuddles - its so cute. I've tried a few times now to give Elena rice cereal but she's just not interested yet. Not really concerned yet - one less person to prepare meals for!
Jodi - saw on your FB that Emily cut a tooth - yay! Was she grizzly leading up to it? Did you have any clue it was coming through?
How is everyone else going? Bek, how was the massage?
Our postnatal water fitness finished today as the bubs can only go until they are 6 months old Joshua got his certificate for it though so I'm a proud mum LOL....now I just have to find some other exercise to do....really got to get back into pilates and aikido....
We started rice cereal on the weekend and got it on DVD and pics. Joshua screwed his nose up at first but then really enjoyed it. The first day he only ate maybe a teaspoon and yesterday and today he ate the whole lot of what mixed up which was about one tablespoon.....going to try maybe sweet potato later in the week I think.
We have our 6 month immunisation tomorrow, not looking forward to it Joshua has been a grumpy bum the last week and a half, refuses to sleep during the day and is tossing and turning at night so I think the needles aren't going to help with anything....
