Happy 9 months Catherine and Jasper!
Bun- That tooth will probably cut very very soon. It must hurt them so much when they move. ooohh thats not long before you move now. New Years in Vic!
Prama- Oh dear your little boy is going to be all over the house soon!
Oh I forgot what else I was going to say.
Hello everyone!
Happy 9 months to Jasper & Catherine!!! :) :) :)
Hi girls, I was looking at buying Jake a goldbug harness for when he reaches 18 months. Has any one used one?
OMG 9 months. How time flys.
I hope everyone is enjoying the hotter weather.
Just think Santa is coming in 6 weeks. Ahhhh.
Im very busy today, hubby and I are buying a new projector and couch for the home cinema.
Bye :)
Hi all,
Sorry, just a quick update as I am not sure how long DS is going to sleep for.... No tooth as yet, the green, runny poos have stopped, but I think he is still teething.... He sleeps really light at night, (so light that I can't go into his room to check on him as it will wake him up) and he wakes quite often just for a couple of seconds (kick in the monitor) and then goes back to sleep. Sometimes he wakes up at 5am (yesterday) but today he slept till 8 am (after waking at 2.30 am for a feed)!!! His daysleeps are all over the place and sometimes only 30mins. I can't really blame it on the wanting to crawl anymore, as he has the hang of that and follows me around the house! He is sitting up on his knees, so I think the pulling himself up is not that far away...
He is still refusing his vegies. I just have several vegies pureed and frozen into icecubes so all I have to do for lunch is defrost and warm different combinations. This helps me keep calm and not get frustrated about all the effort that gets wasted (read; wiped all over the highchair, through his hair and vomited up...). The cheese doesn't make any difference. Might just leave it for a while and try again later. He is still breastfed, so he gets his vits from me.
OK, thats my ramble. DS is still asleep, so I will try some personals! Thanks everyone for the happy nine month wishes!! The same to all the other bubs that have reached the 9 months or will be very soon!
2please - Home cinema!!! That sounds great! I just wish I had the energy to watch a movie to the end atm...
Prama - Welcome back in the country!! Hope you are settling back in well.
Bun - Happy 9 months Catherine! Is she crawling yet? We still don't have any teeth here either, and the molar went back down too. Is she sleeping a little better? Good luck with the packing/moving!
Hi to everyone else!!!
hi girls!
got back yesterday, am missing everyone back in m'sia but good to be back w steve too.
quick one to let you all know, we just went to woolies and we got a fisher price poptivity table for $30. there's heaps of toys there, cheap. lakshman's pulling himself on everything so the poptivity table is great for him.
esme - i only wish poopy'd sleep thru. jasper's a champ!
karlie - what;s the harness like? is it like a baby bjorn?
making dindin..bbl
xoxoxox
Happy 9 months amber!
Happy nine months from us too Amber!
Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. Found out that our wakefull nights were due to a virus... Jasper and I have a sore throat, a runny nose and a bit of a cough. Luckily, last couple of nights he has slept a lot better, only waking once, so lets hope the worst is over. Besides that he is crawling like a pro now, he is getting so fast! He is starting to pull himself up on low things like the washing basket and sits on his knees looking around very proud of himself.
Prama - Thanks for the tip on toys, will have to start buying the next stage toys too, but am trying to hold off till Xmas....
Wish everyone a good day!
Happy 9 months lakshman!!!
esme - no worries.. glad jasper is getting better!! yaayy.
yup, poopy's the same, he's SO damn pleased w himself when he stands up and can see so much more!! haha
Lakshman's 9 whole months today!!!!!!!!!!!
just saw your post JJ - thanks!!!!!
Happy nine months Lakshman!!!!
LOL, they are so cute when they are so proud of themselves, aren't they?
Oh, by the way, Jasper had his first pony ride on monday and he absolutely loved it!! We have horses in the paddock down the back and several times each day we go and have a look at the 'horsies'. As soon as he sees the horses he starts to shout and has the biggest grin on his face! So monday we went to a friend of mine who has a very quiet kids pony and we put him on its back and walked him around; he loved it and wasn't scared at all. Looks like we might have to start saving for a pony....
Hello Feb Belly Buddies!
I hope you don't mind me crashing your thread but I'd really love some advice from you all.
Did any of your little one's start waking at around the 7 month mark due to seperation anxiety? What strategies did you use to get them to sleep again? DS has just gone from sleeping 12 hours a night to waking, and I am SOOO not used to it! He's even having the occasional night feed.
Anyway, I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks
SG

Hey ladies
To all of you that have had your little one's christened, how much do you think is appropriate to "donate" to the church on the day of the christening? (I am having DS christened in an Anglican Church).
Hope you are all well. I have been so busy lately and haven't been keeping up.
Happy 9 months to the bubs. Can you believe our journey together has been 18 months. 9 months in and 9 months out. It seems so long ago that we were first pregnant but it has also just flown past ! Is anyone trying for a second yet ?? A few of my mothers group are trying and some are pregnant already. The idea freaks me out a little.
Hi Shoegal - Jasper started waking again too around the six month mark (slept 12 hours before that too...). I am sorry, but I have to say 2 months on and he still wakes at least once every night for a feed. Sometimes he wakes more often, but then it is about a tummy pain or something else and a backrub usually get him back to sleep. I am sorry, I can't offer you any advise. Today I found a thread here: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...tra-feeds.html It looks like more bubs are doing the same thing.
Hi Jacki - good to see you back again! Happy nine months to Luke! How is he going? Is he babbling a bit more? Jasper is constantly making noises now, but nothing that resembles any words. He said 'bubba' twice, but never again, so that must have been accidently... We are not getting DS christened so can't help you with that one. Not trying for a second one yet, we are looking for a 2.5 to 3 year age gap, so next year around this time we'll be busy ;), how about you?
Hi Shoegal - sorry I don't have any advice, as DD has never even come close to sleeping through the night in the first place! I know that a lot of bubs around this age have separation anxiety which can last a while. DD won't even let me leave the room without her these days. Hopefully it will pass soon!
jacki - the time has gone so fast. Two of the mums at my mothers group are preggers again already, and one is due in less than a week! I visited a new bub last night and I must admit it made me a little clucky, but I don't think I am ready for another one yet. I always thought we would try again when DD is one, but now I am thinking maybe they would be a bit too close together if we got pregnant right away. I think at least 2 years apart is good, maybe 2 1/2 to 3 years. But then you never know how long these things will take, it took us 10 months of pregnancies and miscarriages before we finally fell with DD, so you knows what is in store for us next time.
esme - he he, saving for a pony already!
Well, our big news is Catherine is crawling!! She is going great, she started out a little unco and would often do the lizard pose where she would lift one arm right up, only to put it back in the same place it started, and she was going backwards for a while but now she has got it!! She has also learnt to sit from lying down and she is very pleased with herself. Now when I go in to get her up I find her sitting up in her cot clapping her hands and laughing at me! She still doesn't have any teeth and hasn't started pulling herself up on things yet but I suppose that's next!
Must go, hi everyone else :)
Esme - Luke is going really well and after my intial bit of concern is now a non-stop chatterbox. Luke doesn't say anything that resembles a word (not even nearly a "bubba" even by accident). And lots and lots of squealing - I just love it.
Not too sure on what age gap we want. Originally I thought that we would start on number 2 early in the new year but it is only just around the corner and the thought of it freaks me out. But then you get 9 months to get used to the idea and bubs will be a lot older and indpendent then. Who knows ?? However I don't want to leave it too long as I am just about to turn 36 and am relying on IVF.
Bun - I have quite a few friends currently pregant with their 2nd bub. The first took them a long time to concieve so "got cracking" early for the 2nd only to find that they got pregnant on the first time trying. So be careful !! Great to hear that Catherine is crawling - let the fun begin !! Have you babyproofed the house yet ?? Luke is showing signs of commando crawling. I saw him go forwards yesterday and once today but I think it was purely by accident. I guess it won't be long before he figures it out.
shoegal - hi there! long time no hear!!
nope no advise either.. still struggling here!!
esme - thanks for that link, i'll post our struggles there....
Jacki/Bun - wow pregnant already, those ladies are so brave or have lots of support.
yeah, think we'll have another bub when Lakshman is about 3 years. so we'll start trying just as before he turns 2. i dont think i can cope with 2 small babies.
jacki i turn 36 next year.. so i guess, i'll be 38 when we have no. 2. gee. i feel so old already.
Hi Shoegal! Hi Baxter! We are the same as Esme. Amber went from sleeping beautifully to now waking once a night for a feed. Baxter's waking could also be a developmental thing. They tend to wake at that age. Do you have a nightly routine? Like we bath and feed Amber and then bed. Every night its the same. They say if you stick to your routine it could help. Hope that helps.
Yay Catherine. Crawling... Look out Bun! Amber still wont crawl. She has been getting onto her knees for ages now and still will not put it together. She loves to stand though.
Oh dear have to be quick here as Amber is wanting attention. She still has the 2 teeth, can wave and say bye bye and now says yeah yeah yeah.....
Sorry I missed some of you. Will BBL.
Hi all!
Bun - Lucky his mum is horse mad too and we have the paddock set up, so we don't have to save for too long. Yay on the crawling!!! Good luck making the house baby proof. And how cute her sitting up in her cot when you go to get her!! How is the packing going?
Jacki - Good to hear that the boys have improved their talking; Jasper only goes quiet when he is up to something.... And I think he will be crawling in no time, once they figure out they can go forwards there is not stopping them! About the trying for no. 2; it took us 6 months and a mc before we fell pregnant with Jasper, so I am a bit in two minds too to start earlier, but I don't think I can handle the terrible two's and a little bub at the same time, so we see when we get closer. Unless I just get too clucky and don't want to wait any longer... I do have a bit of time (31 in december) but DP is 39 and wants to retire at some stage ;).
Prama - Good to have a thread to see if we can work something out together or someone might pop in with the magic solution!
Jasper started to pull himself up today, so I will have to be extra carefull as he just lets go and tries to walk away... We have been walking around with me holding his hands, so he hasn't experienced a big fall yet. I am worried he will do some damage falling over from standing. How is Lakshman going Prama? How do you deal with the falling over? I suppose he will have to learn, but I don't like that idea at all....
esme - we are just heading out the door.
lakshman has had some falls, but on carpet so not so bad. he had bump the other day. he cried and then i kissed him and sang to him and took him out to look at the trees, he likes leaves in the wind. and he forgot all about it. i try to distract him as soon as possible and he forgets about it...
gotta run..
xoxxoxoxo
Hi girls, Sorry things are too full on today to give any personal's. I have be pressured to be Tara's kinder President, and have a meeting to go to soon. Ahhh.
Has anyone one found any great items for DS or DD for christmas? Im finding most items are pritty short lived for attention levels, and will be grown out of in a blink of an eye.
Hope you are all healthy and happy.
Karlie
He Karlie - I am going to hit up each set of grandparents for a trike that goes from one that you push them with a handle to one they can ride themselves and a set of that really cute Ikea childrens table and chairs. I know both presents are not really for now but will be appropriate before long (maybe birthdays are more appropriate for these ??? we'll see).
Definately want a shell to use as a shallow pool for outside and sandpit etc.
Other than that a guess a whole heap of empty boxes with lots of wrapping paper to play with !!!
I am pretty stuck on ideas as well.
Hi Everyone,
long time no post I know just been a bit hectic.
All is well DD is commando crawling and into everything, matchbox toys, lego the boys rooms you name it. The boys don't like it one little bit and have started shutting themselves in their rooms to play ( he he he its very funny ). Sophie is very happy to be moving and is eating a bit better and sleeping longer during the day and wakes once overnight for a feed.
Its DS2's orientation at Kinder tomorrow he is very excited can't wait to go. ( sob sob )
Hi Jacki -- got to love the squeals so cute. We started trying for bub no 2 when DS1 was 12 months and their is 23months difference between them! I was 36 when DD arrived and am staring down the barrel at 37 in January. The only advice I have is to do it when you are ready, it all changes again when there is another one or two;)
Hi Karlie -- I have bought DD the fisher price little people twirl and whirl castle -- we have other little people stuff and she loves them -- the size is pretty good just right to fit in the mouth but too big to swallow. My Mum has also bought her a chicco handbag -- its hard plastic and has a mobile phone with buttons that make noise, a radio, keys etc i think its for around 12-18 months ( i originally found it and told my mum that was what I was getting her and she went and bought it!!!!) We have heaps of toys so thats probably all we will get her.
Hi Prama -- I hate it when they fall and bump their heads here come the bruises. Good to have you back.
Hi Esme -- Yay on Jasper pulling himself up. He will be walking soon. So jealous you have horsies at your place.
Hi Jen -- thats so cute she says yeah yeah yeah.
Hi Bun -- woohoo on Catherine crawling, you won't be able to stop her now.
Hi Shoegal -- My DD has been having a feed overnight since around 6 months prior to that she was a good 12hour a night girl. Sorry don't have any strategies I am just going with her!!
Hi to everyone else
Well that's about all from me I must go to bed!!
Talk soon everyone
Sue
Hi all!
Karlie - Thinking of getting DS a toy box for Xmas. Thinking this will be the only Xmas we can get away with giving him practical pressies as the wrapping will be more of an attraction anyway... He will quite likely get more than enough toys from grandparents and aunties/uncles. Lovely pic of Jake; such a little boy now, where did the baby go?
Jacki - I like the idea of one of those shell things too.... hmmmm... have to do a bit more thinking.
Sue - Yay on Sophie commando crawling! LOL, poor big brothers; having to retreat to their rooms for some quiet play. Makes it easier for you to keep the place tidy! I love your new pic; she is such a cutie!
Hi to everyone else and have a good day!
Great ideas girls. I have bought DS a little people tractor and a few other little people thing's too.
Jacki, Those shell pools are great. Tara got her's about the same time as your DS, and she has used it for the last 4 years. I think you need to leave the pool in the sun to warm the water up, and then drag it into the shade. Otherwise it's too cold, and they wont get in.
Sue, I thrown the little people in the bath too. I recon DS will play with the little people for a while.
Esme, Toy box is exactly what my mum got Tara for her 1st christmas, and it came with a matching bookshelf to sit her toys on.
DS and I have a bad cold at the moment. Poor Jake; his nose is just like a continuious running tap. He has even lost his interest in his food. Now that's wierd with a 13 kg baby.
Talk to you all later..
Thanks for the replies girls, I think it was a growth spurt as he has gone back to 12 hours a night, who know???
Anyway thanks for the suggestions and advice.
SG
xo
Shoegal -- please pass sleepy vibes our way!!!!
I have to work this afternoon for 4hours 6-10pm. My DH will get home and I will leave, so I must stop reading and get tea organised otherwise they will all be very cranky.
I go back to my permanent job in January I am just doing some casual stuff to save up for Christmas, still don't really know why I said yes.
Talk to you later
Sue
Well, we had a couple of interesting nights waking very early and last night nearly every hour from 1am onwards.... I feel like a zombie. The night before last night he woke at 4.30am and didn't want to go back to sleep till 6. Last night was a shocker; went to bed at 7pm, woke at 7.30, back to sleep at 8pm, then slept till 1am, self settled, awake at 2am, feed, back in bed at 2.30am, awake till 3am, awake again at 4am and then at 6am. Now I have just put him down for his morning nap after 3 hours of being awake and he is AWAKE after only 30 mins..... (Back asleep, self settled after a couple of mins..)What is happening? He doesn't seem to be in pain, he is just so awake, hyperactive and restless. Are any of the other bubs going through the same? Could it have to do with him learning to pull himself up? He gets so frustrated if he has pulled himself up and then loses his balance and falls; he starts to scream in frustration.
Sorry for the selfish rant, but just had to vent; thanks for listening!
Poor Karlie and Jake - know how you feel we both had a cold last week, lucky it didn't hang around for too long, we are both better now. Hope you will feel better soon!!
Sue - Hopefully your shift went alright!
Hello ladies, thought I'd join in the chatter here. My name is Shelley, my DS#2 Jordan was born on 11.02.08. I can't believe that he's getting so close to being one. Jordy is not quite as advanced as his brother Jacob, who was walking on his own two days before he was 9 months. I learned from that! He never sat down!
I have to say I'm a little jealous of those of you whose babies are sleeping through! I think Jordan has slept through only about four times... I'm breastfeeding him too. Jacob was formula fed and was so much different, I feel like this is the first time I'm going through it all!
Has anyone else had problems with feeding their little ones solids? I started Jordy on solids at the 6 month mark, and even now he doesn't take much pureed food, but he will happily suck on a sandwich or rice cracker or piece of fruit.
Hi Shelley!!
Welcome!!
Our little one isn't sleeping thru, last night was a shocker, waking up every hr.. but he does eat his solids tho.
they all saw every child is different, eeekk.. it's scary thinking you have to start from stratch again but i guess you learn a lot as well.. at least we know how hard the first few weeks are and what changes to expect.
xoxox
Hi Shelley! Welcome!
Not every bub sleeps through! We had a shocking couple of weeks; waking up every hour after 12. And he doesn't like veggies or pureed fruit unless it is hidden in rice cereal/porridge. He too loves fingerfoods and sandwiches/cheese/yoghurt/porridge/banana/grapes, but he tosses his vegies straight over the side of the highchair. So we have trouble moving onto anything that resembles a proper meal (even pasta doesn't cut it). We have an appointment with the MHCN next week, so we'll see what advise she can give us.
Prama- there is another thread going about bubs the same age waking frequently at night; it is here: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-sleeping.html
We have had two decent nights by reducing his day sleeps to 1hr between 10 and 11 and 1 hr between 2 and 3 and then delaying his bedtime by about 30 mins (or until he starts to show tired signs). The last couple of nights he has gone back to waking at 3am for a feed and then go straight back to sleep until about 6am. So I am starting to feel human again! He still wakes a couple of times just after he has gone to bed in the early evening, but he selfsettles easily and we are awake anyway. Hope this works for you too. Big :hug:, I know how you feel!
Besides this, Jasper is quickly becoming a pro in pulling himself up on me or on the gates and then becomes very frustrated because he hasn't figured out yet how to cruise or get down again. He had a couple of stacks, but nothing too bad and as you said Prama, he is easy to distract.
Hi to everyone else!
Welcome Shelley! It sounds like you are having some similar issues to us. DD has never slept through the night, although generally only wakes once a night for a feed and then goes back to sleep again. Oh how I miss a full night's sleep! She is also not a great eater. I have found that her issue is independence, she likes to feed herself! Now I have just resigned myself to only trying to make her eat finger foods and this is much more successful (although also much more messy!).
Things have been really stressful around here. DH leaves for Vic on Tues and we have sooo much to do. To make things worse, iinet stuffed up and we have no broadband or home phone for the next week which is the last thing I need! DD is crawling sooo fast now and is into everything! It is very cute though.
Jen - that is so cute Amber saying yeah yeah yeah. Catherine doesn't really say a lot yet other than babble, but she sure can babble, esp in the car, it's so cute!!
esme - I would love to have horses, I bet DS is going to be horse mad! Sorry to hear about his sleep, I hope it improves soon. And Prama, I hope you start getting some more sleep soon too!
DD and I have both had a cold, so we have had a couple of bad nights as well. She has been pretty good considering how bad this cold is though. Hopefully she will be better soon.
Sorry for no more personals but I should get going. I hope you are all well and your bubs are all behaving themselves!!
esme - thanks for that link. i had a look. i really dunno what to do anymore.. the other night he slept thru till 4am and then the next night, he was up every hr, then every half hr!!!
we've tried different things and nothing seems to make any difference... we might just let it be for a bit and see what happens. we ahve our time at tresillian in january.. maybe they can sort it out for us.
also his routine seems to be changing again... he doesnt poo 2x in the morning like before, now it's anytime of day, mostly mornings, then afternoons or evenings. he seems to want less milk as well and not wanting an afternoon snack...
lol. i wish he would sleep longer during the day.. he sleeps half hr etc. he used to sleep longer now it's getting shorter. i dunno what to do or what he wants to do!! i might just see how he's starting to change, maybe all this pulling himself up and cruising is changing his routine again.
he's also now crawling on all 4s instead of commando.. and the other day he had 1 hand on the sofa and took a couple of steps..
it's all going too fast for us..
bun - hope catherine gets better soon.. it sux when they are sick.. and even more when we are too...
good luck w the move, it's all very exciting...
we are good, tho steve has a cold.. we had kris kringle at MG, it was so much fun.. we had it at one of the girls' houses and we ate and ate and ate and chatted and chatted and chatted.. from 12-5!!
poopy was crawling on all 4s everywhere and was touching and kissing babies next to him, boys and girls.. it was hilarious. he was climbing on them, to hug them and all. they said he was having an xmas pash w everyone!! hahahaha
we have my work xmas party next friday, steve's sis and bil have been kind enough to babysit poopy again. the theme is music, im going to go as diana ross, supremes era!! haha
gotta go. thinkingof you all.
Yahoo, we are all better in this house for the first time in months.
Prama, DD hated routine, and was so easy to thrown out. I think with Tara I had to be crule to be kind.(Letting Tara cry to sleep is something Im not good at. )1/2 an hour sleep during the day is normal for Jake at this age. I find if he sleeps only 1/2 an hour for 3 sessions Im doing great. Im also seeing him changing to 2 bigger sleeps for the last couple of days.
Oh no, I cant see the other page, and Jakes into something again. I better type very quickly.
I hope all of the rest of you girls are doing well.
Esme, your so thoughtful for posting that link for prama.
Bun, You poor thing, moving is so hard. I couldnt handle so much change around christmas. Christmas is stressful as it is.
Jen, are you coming to Bendigo for christmas? If you do.... DONT GO NEAR THE MARKET PLACE! Parking is a nightmare.
Oh no, better go. The kids are fighting. Ahhhh.
Its very quite in here. Is everyone going christmas shopping?
No, no shopping yet. Going next week, I am silly for having waited for so long!
On another note.... arrrrr I'm so frustrated with my DS's father. He is a being a pain in the arse regarding custody and child support and grrr
No, no shopping here yet; all last minute as usual....
Today we went to the MHCN just for a bit of a weigh in and a few questions about solids and sleep. DS is 9.4 kg and 71cm, so I am happy with that. No wonder my shoulder has started to hurt again; have been lugging him around a bit too much. We love to go out in the garden several times per day to look at the animals and the plants and all that time he is wriggling on my arm. Today we sat down in the grass and the dogs and one of the cats came over; Jasper had a great time pulling at noses, ears and fur. But the dogs and cats were so good, I think they will be good mates when he gets a bit bigger.
There is some improvement with his eating; the last couple of days he has been eating cooked carrot sticks; he actually eats all of it! And he had a taste of broccoli yesterday but I didn't have any left today. He (we ;)) love(s) sandwiches with cottage cheese and avocado, or finely grated carrot when we didn't have avocado. So I am very happy with those improvements!
2please - Yoohoo on being disease free all together, keep it up!
Coeur2512- Hope you get custody and child support sorted soon; it will be difficult enough with the kids on your own without all this...
That's it for today girls! How is everyone else going?
Hi ladies,
I have done most of my christmas shopping. Hooray! Karlie, today I got the pirate tent from cotton on kids as a present for a nephew.
Yay Jasper on the eating. Hope it keeps up again. I weighed Amber at the vet the other day! Well it was an easy scale to put her on. She is 9.6kg.
Amber has started crawling in the last week. She is now into everything and I have had to childproof our house. Today, she was trying to work out how to get out the doggy door. That was interesting.
I hear you ladies on the lack of sleep. We too have been getting up a few times a night. Sometimes she wont go back to sleep unless I feed her. Luckily I still BF so it isnt too bad. Although last night she slept through til 630. I'm not holding my breath tonight. But we'll see. Lets hope its just a phase they grow out of quickly.
Big hello to everyone. Coeur. hopefully the custody stuff can sort itself out soon.
havent gotten shopping done yet!! eeekkk..
i usually have it all done by october!!
karlie - glad jake's sleep is getting better.. yaaay!!!
coeur - man, sorry to hear abt ds's dad.. it's mothers usually who always have it hard.. so unfair.
esme - yaaay jasper!!! im so proud of him!!! he'll do so well im sure..
and happy 10mths tomorrow!! double digits!!!
poopy's doing well.. tho he has a bit of a sniffle..
he;s truly crusing and now doing it w one hand. he's also doing E.T.... using his forefinger to touch and prod everything.. i cant believe we've only got 10 weeks till his bday...
jj - ur message just came in.. hehe on amber... they move so fast and get into everything.. nothing's the same anymore!
Hi all!
First happy 10 months Jasper!!! Double digits... will be 12 months in no time...
Prama - thanks for the 'happy 10 months' wishes! Lakshman is doing so well by the sounds of it! Cruising and only holding with one hand; won't be long or he will be walking! So cute when the pointing finger leads the way; Jasper does the closed fist 'pointing' if he wants to go somewhere or wants to touch something. He loves gates at the moment; whenever we walk past or through one he has to pat it and climb it. Sometimes I let him sit on top of the front gate (me holding him) to watch the cars/trucks on the road in front of the house. At the moment we are in the process of getting quotes for a decent pool fence to keep bubby away from the dam and the busy road out the front; that is going to be our Xmas present I think, OMG they are expensive :(...
Jen - Yay on having the Xmas shopping under control! I can only wish. Xmas with DP's family and still waiting on them to do the draw for Kris Kringle (sp?)... Is going to be stressfull this year.. Sounds like Amber is doing very well; 9.6 kg; LOL, using the vet's scales; so much easier, might keep that in mind. So many bubs seem to go through an unsettled period around this age; let's hope they'll will grow out of it soon. Jasper still waking up a few times a night; I only have to feed once and he self settles the other times, so I am lucky. Sometimes he is up at 5.30 and today he slept till 7. Yay on the crawling too; did she manage to get out the doggy door?
Hi to everyone else!!
