Babies Born February 2008 #5

[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!!

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!

Hi Everyone,

It is so hard to find the time to post now. I guess thats what happens when you have 3 lol

Minky -- Noah is pulling himself up already?! Wow. Look out he will be off soon
Prama -- have you decided how long you are going to stay in Tasmania for? DD is also waking around 4am but she usually has a drink and then goes back to sleep.

Esme -- my boys didn't babble a lot but boy are they making up for it now he he

Jacki -- he he sounds like a great Sat Night to me. I am a bit past the pub scene but dinner and a movie would be all right

Karlie -- hope you are feeling a bit better. It is crappy when you don't feel well and have to look after other people. Take care of yourself.

JJ -- The boys are really good with Sophie. They are really starting to interact with her, now she is moving a lot more they are wrestling her (very scary) and trying to pick ker up and take her places (luckily she is a bit heavy for them to lift he he) She absolutely loves it when they pay attention to her and laughs and turns on the charm. It is gorgeous to watch.

Well better go
Back to kinder this afternoon have to do the usual clean up and then the mad dash to get to kinder on time
Have a great day everone
