Hi all,

Xavier started crawling today!!!

Molly, bubs on bf really slow down with weight gain around this age, so it's not that strange to only gain 500gm in 6 weeks. The graphs you find in the back of your mch book are based on ff babies.

Scone, I'm good thanks, Xavier has been doing some pretty mental sleeping. I found the last time was from cutting a tooth, we woke every 2 hours. Arrgh. But after a lot of trial and error, I introduced regular morning and arvo tea, and that has really helped. Re toilet training, Zofia in the July thread has been tt since birth for her little lady, and it is really amazing how well they are doing. Just foolow your gut, he's your child.

Kim, Xavier is doing very well, we have had one hell of a wild ride, with very little sleep, but he is now sitting, has two bottom teeth that have broken the gum, he started crawling today. We hear a lot of Da Da da da da's but very few Ma ma ma's. He goes to swimming lessons every Saturday and really enjoys them. He is becoming very cleaver, and just seems to know things, like he tries to put shapes into holes.
Good luck with your cycle.
Xavier was very windy a few weeks ago, I decided that he wasn't quite ready for yoghurt then, and took him off it, he stoped the feral farts. now a month later, we are back on yoghurt and going strong. I also found that a bit of infants friend helped.

Campari, I let Xavier have his nappy free time after his bath. I figure, if he's going to wee, he's more likley to do it in a warm bath, then he is less likley to wee on the carpet, but lol on the licking it off the floor.

RE us, we are now starting the new house count down. We are scimping and scraping together every little bit we can so we don't have to borrow too much. We have a block of land and are hoping to begin building early next year. So it is all getting pretty exciting. Especially because once the house is here and around when xavier is 2 I will be able to start planning bubba #2!!

Well best be off
