Babies Born February 2008 #5

[Esme]

Hi all!!

Bun - Yay on your little holiday to the Vic country side. And flying business class too! Enjoy!

Karli - So sorry to hear your DD got bitten! Relieved to hear that she is alright. Thanks for the tip on Hylands teething tablets; no teeth here yet, but I will be on the lookout for the tablets.

Jen - Let me know how you go, breastfeeding with a little toothy peg.... I want to keep breastfeeding, but are not keen on sore nipples....

Prama - How is Poopy? Did the cold get worse? Hopefully he will get over it quickly! It has been very warm here too; the airconditioning has been on already. LOL, sometimes the heater and the airconditioner in one day!!

Overhere everything ok, Jasper has been really hyper and frustrated in the last few days... I think he soo wants to crawl, but doesn't know how to just yet. It is funny, when I put him on the floor he hardly tries to crawl, but when I put him in his cot for a sleep he just goes hyper and puts his legs underneath him all the time. He has been very difficult to put to sleep for his daysleeps and only sleeps for about 0.5 hour (he is awake again as I 'speak'). He can't sit still and is constantly rocking, jumping, grunting and carrying on.. Any other bubs like this? No teeth just yet, and I don't think it is teething. Probably just another developmental leap as he starts to get interested in solids, at least he eats his rice cereal and his yoghurt now with minimal mess. No such luck with fruit or veges though...

OK, have to go get him up. Have a good day everyone!! And hi to everyone I have missed!!!

[2 please]

Hi girls,
Gee I feel horrible today. I have another cold. Dam.

DD is fine with her face, and all is forgot about. I think what the dog did wont be though.

Jen. Oh no, its started. Its pritty sad for bubs to be in so much pain. Jake has both of his front top teeth coming through at the same time. Its crappy during the day, but the nights are still ok. Im not that keen on crawling, because you know that all your gear has to be put up high, and things get recked.

Gilly the cat is my 3rd child. He loves hug's and acts like a dog. He plays fetch, comes when called and love's going for a drive.lol. Gilly has his own toy baby which he carries by the hair. Its drops it at your feet for you to throw it. He just loves to fetch it.


Prama, Jakes had that endless runny nose too. It really gets snotty when hes crying over his teeth hurting. Poor little guys

Esme, I know, why dont they eat their vegies? Its all about custard at our house.

Tea's ready. I catch you girls later.

Bye

[prama]

thanks esme, karlie - poopy's cold is better, still a little snotty tho. i carry a snot cloth everywhere hahaah.

esme - poopy was like that for a bit, unsettled, not sleeping well. i thot it was teething but then it went away and not a tooth in sight. i dont know why but hten his sleeping habit changed. he now goes to bed 7.30, 8, and wakes up at 4am ish (eek!)


karlie - Gilly sounds so cute!! he's not named after adam gilchrist is he?

is everyone's baby sitting?
poopy's not sitting but starting to really get on all fours and rock himself. often he rocks and rocks and builds up so much momentum, he suddenly propells himself forwards and lands face down! but doesnt faze him one bit.. he's still commando-ing around, getting faster and faster.
i guess some bubs sit first and then crawl, poopy's crawling first then im sure he will be sitting up soon.


steve's going to be in hobart cbd for a work project from the 12th till 21st. we most likely will be going with him but i dunno if lakshman and i want to be there so long, we wont have a car and it will be boring in the apt during the day as steve will be working long hours. you can just walk around so much. not sure abt public transport and pram and all when i dont know the city. i was initially thinking of being there till sat the 18th but might come back earlier..

lakshman and i going to malaysia again on the 22nd, not that we have a lot of money, it will be from my tax return, and it's diwali (hindu xmas) on the 27th and i havent been back in 4 years. this is the only time i'll have a chance since im on mat leave. and we got a really good deal for both of us, about 2/3 of the normal fare.

anyway, im tired.. what else is new...

[Jacki]

Jen - yeah on the DD's new toothiepeg.

Prama - DS is sitting really well (with the occasional face plant) however he is no where near crawling. Still not a bit fan of being on his tummy. He started rolling a couple of weeks ago from back to front so he liked being on his tummy but has since forgotten how and is focussing on eating his feet and now is back to hating being on his tummy. I got him weighed at his 8mth check up on Thursday and he is 9.86kg !!! He had better start crawling and walking soon, he is way too heavy for me to keep carrying. Aparently big bubs are pretty slow to do that sort of stuff so looks like I need to join the gym.

Karlie / Esme - DS is eating everything I offer him (must take after his father). He only has to see me in the kitchen holding one of his bowls and he starts carrying on and whinging to be fed ! (no wonder he weighs nearly 10kg). Since he is a pretty keen eater I am making sure I don't feed him too much as I don't want him to drop off too much breast milk at this stage.

Bun - how could you think of leaving Perth !

Just sitting here having a glass of wine. Beautiful DS tucked up in bed, DH waking the box and I am cooking batches of bubs food for the freezer. Who knew Saturday nights could be so fun.

I mentioned to MHCN at 8mth check that DS doesn't really babble much. He used to but is pretty quiet most of the time - he laughs, whinges and cries but doesn't babble away to himself. She said not too worried but to keep an eye on it. (Don't you just hate hearing those words). What's everyone's bubs like???

[Esme]

Jacki - Jasper is the same; doesn't talk much. Has just taken to 'talking' when we are reading a book or singing a song, but otherwise he is quiet or whinges...

Prama - Yay on going to see the rellies again!!! Oh I so wish we could go again too, but I told my parents not until DS and his brother or sister (no not for a while yet !) are at least 4 years old!! So they might have to come to visit us!!! Too long a plane trip with mobile little kids and too expensive. Jasper only sits with me sitting behind him, he still falls to the side or lets himself fall backwards, so crawling here first too I think. He is only just starting to rock on all fours but then face plants too; he doesn't know how to move his arms yet. That will come all too soon I think...

Jasper is in the process of changing his day sleeps too; we just had some kind of routine going again, and now he is just not going down anymore... This morning he woke up at 4 as usual, but didn't want to go back to sleep again after his feed; he was playing in his cot for about an hour before he went back to sleep. He woke up at 7.30 (oops, 8.30 daylight saving) and then didn't go back till 11, so hopefully we will get back into some kind of routine soon...

Hi to everyone else and wishing everyone a great long weekend!!

[prama]

yeah, lakshman sits up if i sit him up, not pulling himself up. he can manage some seconds on his own if i slowly move away, then if he waves his arms or kicks his legs, he topples over.

he woke up at 2.30 again this morning and didnt settle till 4.30, which is the usual unsettled time even before daylight savings..
at least jasper plays in his cot for a long while, poopy does fora short while then cries..

oh dear
i better go, someone's sleepy.. hopefully he'll go down this time!

oh jacki - hurray on the weight!!

[*MinKy*]

Hi Everyone!

Its so nice to read that you are all doing so well!!!

Everything is good here, Noah has two bottom teeth coming through, they cracked the skin about 4 days ago, he has been quite good, not too ratty! He is also pulling himself up to stand...I hate it...he scares me when he does it as he wobbles..lol..and it scares me because he is growing up tooo fast!

Hi Prama, Awesome to hear that you are off overseas again soon! Lucky thing you!! Lakshman sounds as gorgeous as ever!

Hi Esme, Noah has changed his routine a bit too He likes to stay up longer then usual, so his sleep times have varied again!

Hi Jacki, Yay on the rolling!! Awesome weight too!! Noah isnt a babbler either, he will say bub bub if prompted too, but otherwise he just whinges..lol

Hi 2please, I hope you start to get over your cold soon!!! Oh gee I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your DD..I hope that she is doing okay!

Hi Jen, Woohoo on the tooth!!! Goodluck with the b/fing..I hope it dosent get too painful for you!

Okay better leave it here, time for bed!

Hope your all having a great weekend!
