We are nicely settled in our own place down in Vic, we stayed with a friend for a little while but we decided to look for a place of our own- and rentals here are soooooo cheap!! (150 per week compared to the 350 we were paying up north!!!)
DH is busy busy busy- he found work the third day we were here at a Seed packing factory- he loves it as its something new and different and not dependant on the weather like his demolition or fencing were. Plus he gets to drive a forklift- which he loves!! And its good for his bung knee!!
I have joined two mothers groups here and its been really great, we live really close to town- which is something we havent done for a long time- but i love it- Shane and i cruise around in the pram and i hardly ever have to drive anywhere anymore!! All in all our move has been 100% fantastic and the best thing we could have done for ourselves!!
Well Shane has grown heaps since i last posted- well technically not physically growing too much more- he seems to have reached a peak and has stopped gaining so much weight- we are still yet to cross the 7kg mark, but he is looking healthy and in propertion so im not too worried.
He is rolling EVERYWHERE now- both ways!! He makes it sooooo hard come nappy changing time!! He just wriggles everywhere!! He is a pro at comando crawing, and gets right up on his back legs and kind of does a hand stand and then pushes himself forward, very funny to watch!! He is cute, he hasnt managed to get on all fours yet- he swaps from using his legs to his arms, but hasnt co-ordinated doing both at the same time, but im sure he is not far away!!
He is getting better at sitting on his own, but not 100% there just yet, i still need to stay close coz he tends to face plant, and our new house has wooden floors, so i am a bit wary. But i can sit him in the corner of the couch and he sits on his own and then has something soft to fall against when he sways!!
We have put him in a jollie jumper which he just LOVES!!! He bounces constantly!! Giggles and laughs the time away!! So cute to watch!!
We have been doing some solids, mainly just farex with BM, but we have started to add some pureed fruit in the morning and vege at night, so far he has tried apple, banana and pear and pumpkin and sweet corn, he is not too sure about the pumpkin!! I think he is getting close to trying some finger foods, but i have been a bit wary, i might try a rusk!!
Teeth are not far wawy- but mind you i have been saying that for a few months now!! lol I am sure they are pushing through slowly, he is a drool machine and we have had a few unsettled night where he will cry and munch down hard on my nipples!!! Oh the fun of Bfeeding!!!
He isnt sleeping through anymore, he wakes a few times during the night- and i have gotten lazy and just bring him into bed with us- which i think i will have to stop doing soon coz i think some nights he is just waking up coz we are not there, he isnt hungry he just wants to snuggle, which is cute and sweet, but i think he needs to learn to sleep alone at sometime!!
Oh and this week we have a mystery rash!! It started as a nappy rash thing on his very lower belly (like just above his willy) and then has progressed to spreading ALL over his body!! We have been to the Dr who thinks it is excema, but i am not so sure- it has been super hot here, and it seemed to get aggrivated when we have been in the car and out in the heat- so i am hoping its just a heat rash and will go away soon, if it hasnt disapeared in the next few days i will go back to the dr for a 2nd opinion, it doesnt seem to bother him at all, its not itchy, just blotchy and bumpy and red, i think i am more worried about it then he is!! any ideas or anyone who has had anything similar, i would love some peace of mind!!
Well thats pretty much it form us- i have read a few posts, but not all (there were waaaaay too many!!) But i hope everyone is doing really well and all bubs are healthy and happy!!!
HAPPY 7TH MONTH NAKITA!! I cant beleive how fast our bubs are growing up!!!!!!!
