Whew! It's been a warn day in Sydney too, top of 30.
I can't believe one of our bubs are coming up to the 12 week mark. Doesn't it just seem like yesterday that we were posting about colicky newborns! *sniff* I'm such a sentimental sapNo rolling here either but we got babbling, drooling and chewing on fist. Willa's not really consciously grabbing anything, but she seems to really enjoy pulling her top up all the time. I keep telling her it's entirely innapropriate to act a American high school Spring Break, 'Girl Gone Wild'. DH thought that was funny.
When does rolling start to happen? Oh and do you guys use any sort of safetly restraint on your change tables? Is that something u can buy separate? I'm guilty of wandering off leaving Willa on her change table but the cushion has raised sides and as there's no rolling yet... In fact, I hate to say it but Willa is actually rather bad at tummy time! Don't know what baby DH is talking about but he insists she makes like she wants to crawl. She just sort of lies there grunting and lifts her head a bit but mostly we turn her over because her face gets squished. But she sits up great and I can pretty much burp her on my knee and her back is ramrod straight, head held firm so I'm not worried. She must just not like tummy time. I took some cute photos today of her sitting on the lounge with a book in her lap.
Feeding has been mixed. I'm thrilled she'll take a bottle when she needs to, but still fussing at the boob and short feeds. Oh well, so long as her weight is ok, I can cope. On average, I think we're getting 2 sleeps in the arvo ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Like most babies she's very grizzly by late arvo if she hasn't had a decent sleep earlier. Like today, even a bath didn't help. DH ended up putting her down. the 7pm bedtime routine still going strong. She gets up around 7am every morning, no matter what and wakes about twice in the night. I'm not getting any long sleeps at all but none the worse for wear. I guess our bodies get used to it.
Ali - 150mls every 2 hrs is wow, growth spurt indeed! "here is a donkey on the other side of our driveway." heheh now that's something I don't hear everyday. The balloon tied to Sarah's skirt is such a cute idea. Congrats on Sarah going in a potty! I'm probably not realising what a big milestone this must be. A friend of mine texted me at 3am the other night to say that her toddler finally did a poo in a potty lol, I think she got in on camera even.
Kim - cute pic :P
Sara - I hear i abt the no more a newborn thing. I know they say 2nd time mummies are more aware of enjoying their bubs while they're little. How time flies huh? Willa was having a good old chat to herself today while watching Oprah and I was thinking, gotta enjoy each day NOW! I love that baby babbling. It's the cutest thing ever.
Becca - Willa does indeed like her formula warmer. How much did u get your bottle warmer for? I had a bit of a look online and they seem to be in the $70 plus mark which is too dear for me, but I'm having to think about DH on his own trying to juggle crying/hungry baby while warming milk and all.
DH has done the hunting AND gathering and is bringing back some Thai takeout. I could eat a horse right now (what's new...)
evening all,
sonia
