salboo- so sorry to hear about your SIL. Max sounds like he is doing fantastically well. tk - yay for becoming an ABA counsellor. Does that mean you will go on the phones or just support people locally? Cassie/mad4e - hopefully solids will mean M will sleep a little better LOL. Going to try her on some rusks just to help her with the gumming that she is doing. Willow - hiya! koru - hope some teeth break thru soon.
Hi to everyone I've missed.
We are going well. Weighed M today and she is now 7.28kg. This puts her around the 75th percentile for weight so a chubby bubby.
M had some photos done with one of those shopping centre photographers this morning. The shots I saw look so good. I can't wait until they are ready to be picked up next month. They were the first professional photos we've had taken of her. Thinking I should get some of DS and of both of them. Maybe not....
Hope all of you in the southern states are surviving the hot weather.
Saffi - once my training is finished I will be on the helpline it is some time away yet but it already kind of freaks me out that I could be the other person on the end of the telephone line. I will also be available for people in my local area to contact directly. Great weight!
Cheezel - Sleeping in the kitchen... interesting... though we all slept in the loungeroom as it was just too hot anywhere else. DD has been doing her 'sit-ups' as well - so cute!
Megsmum - two teeth! Ouchies on the nipple... that is one thing I am dreading. new car... so envious! Hope the sleeping settles for you soon.
AFU - lots on this week... today I sent out the invites for DDs christening next month and paid for the venue for the gathering after. Tomorrow we have swimming lessons and my best friend is coming along, then Wednesday catching up with a friend, Thursday sorting out more details for DDs christening and a visit to the clinic. Then Friday a Sydney BB meetup... LOL I am tired already! DDs sleep is good - very good actually. She usually goes down sometime between 9.30pm and 11.00pm and then usually wakes between 5.30am and 7.00am.... the times vary each day but it is a good chunk of sleep. She hasn't woken overnight for a few weeks now... I am dreading how I will be if she regresses
Big hellos to everyone!

: Replies whilst I typed.
TK - Sounds like a busy week for you! I'm glad your DD is sleeping well at night, it sounds like you need it this week LOL!
megsmum - Wow, I can't believe E had two teeth already . I hope the biting is settling down. I'm dreading going through teething for another two years LOL! I'm so glad you had a great time in Port Douglas, it's such a beautiful place isn't it? DH and I have been twice and both times said we want to buy a place there too!
CheezelMonster - Woohoo on your DS's sleeps! And woohoo for putting himself to sleep! It makes life so much easier for you
Saffi - Wow, M is an awesome weight! I want to see some more pics of her!
Willow - Glad you found us again LOL!
koru - How's Orla's nappy rash going? Hopefully it's clearing up. It's not thrush is it? DD had what I thought was a nappy rash that wouldn't go away, but my MCHN told me it was thrush. I bought some cream for her and it cleared up really quickly.
salboo - I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL . Wow, another baby with teeth! Max sounds like a gorgeous boy
Cass_blob - Wow @ Eli getting around already! Did your other DD start so early?
mad4me - Yay for your DS sleeping through the night!
Misty - Seb sounds like a dream baby
Hi to those I've missed!
AFU - Alana has started to improve with her overnight sleeps, hooray! I am only getting up once to feed her and most nights she settles herself back to sleep if she wakes up. She's also starting to put herself to sleep for her day naps, I still rock her until she's sleepy, but can put her down drowsy and she'll fall asleep. I'm starting to feel human again LOL! She spends her days on her tummy now that she can roll over. She refuses to be on her back! It's a bit annoying when trying to dress her or change her nappy! I may have to learn to dress her backwards . Both my boys HATED being on their tummies, so this is all new to me! She's also started tummy sleeping the last two nights, I'm a bit nervous, but if I turn her over she wakes right up and needs resettling only to roll back over when I've left the room .
Well, I'd better run, she's just woken up from her nap. I hope you all have a great day!
ETA - Oh, and I keep forgetting to say that if anyone is on FB and wants to add me as a friend, just PM me and I'll give you my details.
Hiya all,
I'm so glad that heatwave is finally over
TK, Orla's rash got worse again cos of the heat so I didn;t get to try out the Itti Bittis again. I finally took her to the naturopath who reckoned it was a 'mild yet persistant' fungal rash. I bit the bullet and got Canesten (well the generic of it anyway) which FINALLY seems to be doing the trick so we've probably had thrush (which is fungal though more specific) the whole time (you we're right Trish!) Got a nice 'natural' preventative barrier cream to use once it clears for good but I had to call in the 'big guns' on this one Onya for becoming an ABA counsellor - I've used them several times
Megsmum I stopped using even 'natural' wipes cos they do irritate the rash. Using cloths and sorbolene at the mo. Go the teeth! Though ouch on the nipple-grazing. We've just got lots of drooling and chewing going on here but no sign of an immenent breakthrough....
Well thankfully other happier stuff has been happening while this blasted rash drama plays out: Orla can't seem to be bothered rolling having achieved it only one day, but is getting really good at sitting She has also suddenly got interested in food - licking the edge of my pasta and muesli bowls. Yesterday she grabbed my fork off me and smeared tomato sauce (homemade) all over her face then delighted in licking off as much as she could reach with her tongue! I'm so surprised as she's such a boobie-girl I thought I'd have to force food down her at 8 months or something!
Bas is teething at the moment, although I am not sure when the teeth will actually pop though. Soon hopefully, I hate seeing him in pain, and although the bonjela seems to help a little, he hates the taste of it.
He is just growing up so fast. He is so much fun and so happy, but I cann't help feel a little sad because time just seems to be slipping through my fingers - before I know it he will be a toddler and then a pre-schooler and then a 'big' kid and then a teenager, and then he will be leaving home.
Ok, so maybe a little overdramatic, but I am afraid of blinking and missing any of it. It is not so long ago my DD was this age, Well my DD turns 4 on Sunday. It is so bitter sweet to see them grow up.
Next friday in DH and my 5th wedding anniversary. We are actually going out for it, so that will make it the 2nd time we have ever celebrated it ' . I bought him some silver cufflinks as a present.
Oh Koru, sorry I didn't think of thrush earlier! It only occurred to me as I was typing . I'm so glad you have found the cause now and the treatment is working. Alana's cleared up really quickly once we started using Daktarin. Wow, Orla sounds like she is going to be a good eater
ETA - Misty - It's so scary how fast they grow up isn't it? My DS1 starts school this year, I can't believe it! I'm not ready yet LOL! Happy anniversary for next week, I hope you have a lovely time together
tk - Hope the swimming lesson goes well. We have our first one on Friday week, although I don't know if I'll be able to do it with DD1 in tow. Will just have to see how things go I guess and maybe start the following week instead. I'm soooo jealous about the sleeping but sounds like you have been super busy.
Trish - Yay for the sleeping improving! Alana sounds like E with the rolling too LOL as soon as you put her down on her back she is over, its so hard to put a nappy on her LOL If you work out a way to put a nappy on backwards LMK OK?! Oh and will PM you sometime soon about FB, but may not be until next week.
koru - Wow at the sitting! Clever little girl And LOL at the food smearing, sounds like she is going to be pretty good on the tooth too. I'm so glad you are getting on top of the rash, just thought I'd mention the wipes because not everyone thinks of them - we had a terrible time with DD1's rash because of disposable wipes.
misty - Nope, don't think you're being melodramatic. It still seems like yesterday to me that DD1 was born and now she starts kinder in 2 weeks time I agree with Trish, I'm not ready for it either! Hope you and DH have a lovely anniversary.
AFU, got down to Sydney and back to get the car fairly unscathed - E is a bit of a car hater ATM. She only cried a little bit when I was almost there thank goodness and slept most of the way back home. It is so awful travelling with her in the car sometimes, poor little thing would be a lot happier if the seat was forward facing I think. Oh well, that's a while off yet cause she's only about 6.5kg or so. But the new car is wonderful Sleeping has continued to improve too, she's back to 2 feeds a night, but not holding my breath for her to stay that way LOL
And I'll join Trish in saying if anyone wants to add me as a friend on FB, just shoot me a PM as well
fairly new to BB and just found this thread, hope its ok to tag along...my DS was born 14.9.09. Its lovely to read of other mothers with babies of the same age, and what stage the little ones are at. just reading through its amazing how different each and every baby is despite being so similar in age. My DS hates being on his tummy, and every time i put him there he'll roll onto his back instantly, dnt know how he'll learn to crawl... :|
you found us!
it is some time away yet but it already kind of freaks me out that I could be the other person on the end of the telephone line. I will also be available for people in my local area to contact directly. Great weight!
Glad you found us again LOL!
