Danni - bugger about the migraine - I was about to message you tomorrow to see what you've been up to..I hope other than that you've been well.
Erin - I do that with Dylan as well..although if he sleeps later than 5 then I can guarantee he'll be up until 9 or 10pm...
Wow - I'm so jealous of the warm weather! I can't wait to have some warm weather and to head to the park and beach etc. I'm so not a winter person!
With the sleeping bags - you can get cheap ones from big w, kmart, target and myer! You don't have to get the brand name ones..even bonds have one now as well...I'm not sure how much exactly but under $20!
I haven't posted in this thread before today but I guess we're entitled to be here too!
Logan was born the 20th of April, Hitlers birthday...so that's of course left him open to a lot of jokes in the future...he is already the little dictator around here!
He's a strong and determined little guy who loves sitting up and observing his world. He's not the type of baby who is happy to lay back and let life pass by, he has to be part of the conversation and know what's going on all the time.
He sleeps most nights from 8pm to 6am or so and usually wakes for one feed but lately it seems to be 2 feeds and last night was 3...urgh, so I think a growth spurt is coming on. He's pretty good at rolling from tummy to back but gets stuck on his arm most of the time when going from back to tummy. He's generally happy to do tummy time for as long as I like, so long as I stay on the floor with him to keep him company but is happiest in his rocker chair or in the bumbo.
He's a boob lover and hasn't had anything else (except for water when it's hot) and I plan to start giving him little tastes (½ a teaspoon of food once a day) from about 4 months and start to build it up to real mouthfuls when he's 5½-6 months old. His physical signs are ready for him to start but he's not really shown much interest in my food yet, so we won't push things.
I think I have one of the smiliest babies on the planet! It's only when he's really tired that he won't smile on cue and he'll even force out a smile when he has a tummy ache. He's usually pretty easy to settle and doesn't cry much but when he does give us 10 minutes of yelling, it's for a reason, so we can't hold it against him too much!
I'm an ex-melbourne girl and my fiancé is Danish. We live in Malmö, Sweden and have been together for 5½ years. Logan is the 1st baby for both of us but I worked for a number of years both as a nanny and as a preschool teacher so there aren't too many surprises for me but it's a steep learning curve for Thomas!
So that's us in a nutshell...nice to meet you all!
My SIL had her baby this morning!! Woohoo his name is Lachlan Andrew and he's 50cm long and 8lb 14! Poor thing laboured all afternoon and early morning and even pushed for a couple of hours before they decided she'd need a c-s...should have had one from the word go as the cord was all tangled around his neck and he wasn't in the right position and was all twisted. Poor little monkey. Anwyay, they're all doing well now!
Dylans woken up with the sniffles so mums going to mind the kids while I go in for a visit this afternoon!
Adele - Wow- I didn't know that was Hitlers b'day! hehe. Might keep that to myself as noone else has picked up on it either! LOL. Logan sounds like a beautiful little bubba - Dylans very smiley like that as well. You sound like a very relaxed Mummy!! Thats fantastic!! It's obviously shining through to your bubba. I like the name Logan as well!!
Kel - Urrgggh cleaning or study...not very good choices - hehehehe! I do hope you catch up soon though - Not long to go!! Ooh Lily sounds gorgeous laughing at you. Dylans smiles a lot but he's not a huge giggler - he does when I tickle him but it's really funny! It's like it's hard for him to do. It's the cutest sound in the world though!
Hi guys- I have been absent on here for a bit, sick kids, bad back blah blah blah....
Erin - i was just reading that you cant get your hands on #3 teats where you are, would you like me to get you some and post them to you??
On the solids debate - i have got charlotte on 2 solid feeds a day alrady and have had for the past month, not coz she was unsettled or anything like that but because she was showing interest in my food when i am eating and making all the right mouthing motions, my MCHN said to go for it and so i did, as she said, every baby is different and will progress with diff things at diff paces! I have a 21 monther that didnt want anything mut breat milk untill she was about 12 months old and i tell you that was a stress!
Charlotte LOVES!! Her food, her face lights up when she sees the spoon, her fav food at the moment is avocado closely followed by banana and rice cereal! I am still exclusively breast feeding but have added in the two solid feeds around lunch time and around dinner, but she gets it after her breast feed! Some days she will eat what i have to offer and others she is just not interested so i am going with the flow as directed by the boss (charlotte)
sory for the rambling on there!!
Can you believe how fast they are all growing and changing? I forgot how it all happens without you realising it, i truly cant get out of my head that she was only born 4 months ago! Also that she will be my last....I'm not sure i am truly ready to close that door!
