Pj - daz is like summer and loveloveloves his hands! he's only in the last two weeks started liking toys! have you tried "tummy time" on your chest? like belly to belly? you're doing good darl. trust your gut instinct
Thanks Blip!Glad Summers not the only one with a hand obsession!!haha!I havent tried that much on my tummy maybe i will,any ideas are good hey,i gues theres so many different ways of getting them on there tummy,just have to think of them,she really loves her bath too so last night I put her on her tummy in the bath and she was so busy playing and splashing i dont think she reaslised so that was good.I'll keep perservering,shes got to get used to it eventually surely!!!I noticed that you mentioned facebook,are all you girls on there because i am too!!
Pj- a few of us are! as for rolling i read its 'normal' for babies to start rolling from 3-7 months! so i understand the whole phyiso thing (daz was sent to one as well...and she's bleepin' bleep of a bleep..KWIM?) i'll PM you with my name if you like? if you need to talk just let me know...im happy to listen and i understand the whole push for babies to develop! and FWIW - daz dosent have much tummy time he throws up if i put him there...so its short sints of tummy time...and even then...hes too busy munching on his hands to do much else!
Gee it's been quiet around here recently. Hope everyone is doing okay.
1pj: I tried to PM you my details for FB, but it wouldn't let me send it... so (since everyone here knows my name anyway ) - look up Selina Purdy and you should fine me. Try not to worry about Summer (I know it's hard), but just remember that every baby is different... all babies develop at different times, and really, by the time they're older, as long as they can do everything they need to, it doesn't matter when they learnt to do something.
Blip: Oliver quite enjoys munching on his hands too... they're constantly all wet and slimy from it
AFM: I took Oliver into the library this morning for "Rock and Rhyme". It's a music session for mum's and babies. I think it's actually aimed more at toddlers, but there were other younger bubs there too. It's basically just a lot of singing along to nursery rhymes and songs with lots of actions. All the bubs are given an instrument (mainly things to shake) aswell. I think Oliver liked it - he had his hands in his mouth the whole time, lol, but was watching it all with a great deal of interest. He was eyeing off the other babies, and at one point reached out to touch the hair on a toddler's head that was walking past! I also picked up a Baby Book Pack that they had at the library - they have them for different ages 0-12 months, 2-3 years, etc. Oliver loves books, so he should have some fun with that. He was so tired though, and conked out in the car on the way home.
Sterla-HAHA!I just read your "why is my son up at 5am blowing rapberries?" Summers been doing that heaps lately too,its so funny!How cute and fun for Oliver that rock and ryme thing sounds!What a great idea!I should look into something like that!Thanks for the encouragement,i feel heaps better today she seems to be doing alot better.Thanks for your facebook thing,i'll have a look and send a request thing?
Blip-Thanks for the facebook thing too,I'll have a look,thanks also for everything,i hated to have a winge,its just good to hear about others etc,you made me laugh how Daz pretty much sucks on his hands,thats all summer does just lies there a while,then sucks her hands!!
Well,its a windy yuk day here,its freezing outside,Summer and DH are both having a sleep(DH hasnt been well)so i can hear him snoring here and so i thought id come on here and catch up with a few other things.Hope everryone else is keeping warm!
OMG what a day, I gave Sammy some apple for the 1st time this morning and she had a reaction. One eye puffed right up and both eyes were teary and she SCREAMED for about 1.5 hours then fell asleep for 40 minutes and then screamed for another 1.5 hours. By middday, the sweelign had gone down but we still went to the Dr to check it out and she confirmed that she also thinks it's an allergic reaction. So we cannot give Sammy any fruit until we see the paed next Tuesday which was our follow up visit from her weight issues...I HOPE she is not allergic to fruits, we may be referred to a specialist in allergies for children.
Sorry no personals today as I am completely exhausted. might come back on tonight once I have caught up on a bit of sleep.
