Jus - Hi and welcome to you and Ella. Don't worry about having Ella go to bed a exact time. I figure as long as the feed or sleep is roughly around bubs routine then I am happy(I give 30mins grace either side of the intened time). Eventually they all slip into a routine that seems to suite the whole family iykwim. Re the 4 am waking: Is Ella hungry or just waking? It could be that Ella is going through a developement period (as in learning to roll) or she maybe getting ready for solids. I know you are not supposed to give food until 6 months but some bubs want solids before hand and constant early morning waking is a good sign that bub is ready. In saying this I would not rush, I would give it a week or more.

Rory - Hi and glad to see you pop in. I hope Ollie doesn't have a bad time of it with his teething.

Nic - Glad you had a better night.

Yay I successfully helped Loren extend her sleep!!!! Hopefully she'll sleep for a good 1.5 hours instead of just 45 mins.

I really have to start loosing weight. I got up and did a 25 min walk on the treadmill this morning...but then I ate some cake at playgroup

Michelle - dont worry with mirani's stats.... i think ash still takes the cake LOL his are Weight:7.5kg Length: 65cm Head: 44.5cm - that was at 3 months!! so over a month behind her and his head circumfrence was off the scale in the percentile range.
Ash has his 4 month check next week and hes easily gonna be over 8kg!

Alicia - i have a set bed time for ash, it was 8.30 but since day light savings its moved to 7.30 which im very happy to do as i go to bed with him. and within half hour hes usually always asleep, as for waking up in the morning, that was always about 7:30ish but that also changed to 6am.

Buzzie - your big little man sounds just like Alex at that age and Alex is just over two and nearly 1m tall. Warning in advance they grow out of clothes & shoes really quick we have to buy new shoes every 2 months and he wears size 3-4 in clothes mostly.
Bek - Cake sounds yummy might have to go and raid my cupboard now
Nic - Great to hear you are getting some good sleep happening & what lovely boys looking after themselves and letting mummy sleep. Was wondering how old were your boys when you started letting them fish - DP is itching to take Alex but i'm a little iffy about the hooks & that.
RoryRory - oh the thought of even just a few hours of no kids - just bliss - tho would miss them like crazy - have a nice trip away
Alicia - Both of mine are in bed by 7.30pm Vicky's feed to sleep & Alex has stories & songs so is asleep by 8pm. Both wake up between 5.30am & 6.30am atm.
Louise - Sorry to here things have been a little crazy hope it all settles back down for you soon.
Haven't got the new pics up yet as batteries in camera needed recharging and ended up on the phone for an 1hr with my sis last night. Everything pretty sweet here just the usual insanity oh and Vicky rolled yesterday
Have a great day everyone

LOL at these big boys!

My DS is just over 2, and he'd only be about 12kg! (he probably should have been rear facing in the car for the whole 2 years LOL). Last height check he was about 84cm I think, that was about 4 months ago. Morgan - sounds like Alex is going to be very tall - they are half their adult height at just over 2. I think you do it at around 2yr 4mth. DS will probably be like me & DH, around 175cm. He's been following his own curves just sitting under the 50th percentile in weight & length.

Hi Girls,
I have been MIA that long that it took me ages to find the post!
Hope everyone is doing well - have not had time to catch up on everyones news but will attempt to do this soon.
Bronte has some good days & some not so good days - settling/ wind issues mainly (I suspect). I don't really have her on a set routine which is freaking me out a little but reassuring to know that some of you girls are the same.
I have my IL's out visiting from Scotland so they are loving spending time with Bronte & DS Damon. Once they leave again you should hear a bit more from me.
Hope I haven't missed anything major & that everyone & their bubs are doing really well!

Hi Mummy2Two

Miss DD Sara was 93 cms at 2yo and 12kg. I think that is pretty tall for a girl. Atm is going out of size 2 tops but we are still in size 1 and 2 pants.

OMG - I just read my last post and I can't believe how many typos I made...I think I was distracted

[morgan78]

Wow Bek Sara is going to be a really tall girl.
Hi Mum2Two i hope you have a really good time with the scottish in laws thats lovely that they have been able to come over & see you and the kids.
Liz - Alex is just over 15kg and he is 2yr & 3 months. I am glad he was 6 weeks early (2.4kg & 50cm long) as i shudder to think what he would of been full term. Funniest thing is my entire side of the family struggle to get past 5ft 3.

Just put a couple of new pics up too.
