lordy im dragging my sorry behind already!

Crumpet, DD isn't only just reaching for things a bit now, not grabbing at all. Probably a few weeks off I think.
ok cool thanks!

DS2 is just grabbing our hair and sucking his hand - he's exploring his activity mat with the hanging toys, he knocks them around and is learning to grasp the toys.
summah has been sucking her hands for a good 5-6 weeks now, she has got that mastered! and she is doing the same with her toys, she bashes them but its occasionally trying to grab at them...

Crumpet - Jacob has only in the last week started grabbing onto toys (with his knowledge anyway! He used to grab them by mistake sometimes...) But he's still getting the hang of it Summah sounds like she isn't far off it now either. Yeah we do have trouble with Jacobs day sleeps but not at night, thankfully. Day time I just have to be careful that I don't let him fight it for too long or he gets really difficult.
im noticing each day she is slowly getting better and better at trying to reach for things, she just cant grip onto anything unless i open her fist and put it there, and even then it lasts 30 seconds....

oh no u poor thing! but at least he settles at night!

I do know what you mean with the needles. They do that here, the town is REALLY small (only about 1500 people) so the health centre only has one nurse so they only offer the immunisation clinic on two days a month and she has to have a second person there incase of any emergencies and the second person helps with the needles also. I definately prefer that he gets them both at the same time...having one shock is much less stressful for both us and them!!!
summah gets her vac's done at the paeds office and he does one and has a nurse there to do the other at the same time, like u guys i much prefer it, one big scream and its over!

Still not well here, Harper has been a bit more lively today but still not keeping feeds down and this evening she has been in a lot of discomfort so i think her tummy must be cramping. Had a few really grose nappies too. Dr says we've got a mild case i dont want to see what a bad one is.

Crumpet and Charlotte i'm struggling to remember what you guys were up to from the last thread but i hope all is good and i will do my best to catch up when things settle for us.
you poor things hope ur on the mend!

all good hun, nothing overly interesting going on here!

The talk about needles made me remember something...

My cousin was telling us on the weekend how her little boy calls needles... bleedles Haha I love it, so cute don't you think??
gotta love kids!

Hello , jumping in, sort of missed the Belly Buddies and have come in to go straight to Baby Buddies! I had a premmie baby in December, he's full of smiles and very cuddley. I'm moving to Essendon shortly so will be a big move for us.

Just wanted to say hello hes decided hes not going to sleep tonight so procrastinating on forums inbetween tantrums
and welcome!

Crumpet, Millie is the old lady of the group at 20 weeks - she arrived early but I begged and pleaded and they let me stay in this group She's grabbing things very deliberately - toys and my hair. OUCH. She is chewing and drooling on everything. So very cute. She's loving her feet right now too.
oh wow she is doing well! summah throws her feet in the air but has no idea they are attatched yet!

AFU: not much to report really, went for a picnic with some friends today...
poor summah got a bit of a fright with the all the other bubs made, they are all round the 10 month mark, but she survived the ordeal!

off to target tomorrow to expand her winter clothing collection while they have a sale on!
