Elouise can crawl, very fast! No teeth but I'm sure they're not far away. She goes from sitting to crawling but can't go back to sitting. She pulls herself to standing on things 50cm high. She loves wafer crackers and banana-avocado. Words are mumma, aba, umma, bura, sometimes she says dada, one time she said badmumma (after she fell off the bed). I don't know how tall she is or her weight, last check it was 8.58kg at a bit over 8 months old. She regained the weight she lost over sickness and is back on track. The cats don't like her much. They can be too lazy to move if she's touching them, so just swat at her instead which I don't like. Max swatted and threatened to bite her as she barely touched his paw a few times. I would have pushed him away. She was being extremely gentle, which she isn't normally.
Our relationship needs lots of work. Terry and I have had a huge talk. And he needs to work out what he wants and whether or not he wants to change how he feels. I don't really want to talk about it here, its very personal, but I will talk to one of my friends about it. Basically if he's not going to be the person he used be and if he doesn't want to be anything like he used to be then I can't live with him. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in a relationship where I'm not fully happy.
Welcome again Sally! Sorry, you joined in when a few of us have personal crises. This doesn't happen too often but generally we just sort ourselves out and then join in more. But everyone else is happy to chat so you are most welcome. Welcome to Brendan! Tiny baby bubba! Elouise was 2.63kg (5lb 12oz) born at 39 weeks. In my 8th month, she decided to slow her growth. Born with a head diameter of 9cm. 9 fit into 10 easily but not painlessly! I had no tears, only gas and went home 5 hours later. There were no beds. No complications. I got a good nights sleep that night. Fed her every few hours and went to bed around 9pm after feeding her. Woke up at 5am, bolt upright. Hmmm what's not right? What time is it? Omg she hasn't fed in 8 hours! They told me to wake her at 8 hours if she did this, so I did, fed her and then from then on we had increasing trouble breastfeeding. She's FF from 3wks old and has been very happy. Reflux diagnosed at 6 months and gone by 8 months with recurrences from illness. She's all good now. She is not clingy, but when she's hungry or tired she gets upset if she sees me leave the room. Most of the time she doesn't even notice I leave. See how much she loves me? LOL! Loves to explore, gotta keep two eyes on her, not one!
I think its time for a nap now. Byebye everybody!
