Orange, OMG, what a little champ Dash is! Jared has still shown no real signs of rolling over! Ben rolled front to back at 11 weeks, but NEVER rolled back to front. Seriously, not until he was well and truly up and walking, well over a year old did he roll over. Strange child that one
I know what you mean about slowing down and being a baby. I've already told Jared that he's growing far too fast for mummy's liking They have plenty of time to be all grown up later!
Glad to hear Dash is doing better now that he's having some solid food. I'm not looking forward to going through all that again! Cooking, mashing etc, etc. I'm far too lazy for that!
Ren, good to hear from you again. Well done little Ava Jared is far more interested in toys than Ben was at this age and loves to pick them up, play with them and put them in his mouth. Ben never put stuff in his mouth!
Oh, gotta go, my little man is just waking up. He had a good night last night, only waking up once. I think we might finally be getting back into a routine after hospital!
Well, they are both sleeping nicely now. I have had over an hour on the Wii Fit and managed to get dinner on too - wonderful!
Jared has decided he will no longer take EBM from a bottle. I'm going to try again and then try it from a cup. It basically means I'm chained to him for at least the next two months. I really wanted to go to see Angels and Demons too On Saturday night I went to the footy and got a frantic call from DH halfway through the third quarter telling me Jared had refused the bottle and was screaming. I rushed home (took me an hour) and he was still screaming his little heart out. Poor DH! As soon as he saw me he started to whimper (Jared not DH!) and then I thought he might cause some serious damage with the force he was sucking with! Little bugger. Anyway, it isn't forever. Just a bit of a pain, especially since I had to throw out over a quarter of a litre of EBM
Jared is so keen to sit up. We all have playtime on our bed each night and have Jared sitting up supported with a boomerang pillow. He does situp thingys to try and sit up by himself. Crazy child! I can't believe he's four months old tomorrow!!!! Where has that time gone?
Dis - Have you tried a different bottle? You might remember I had the same problem a little while ago. On Ren and another friend's suggetsion I switched to Pigeon bottles and they work a treat!
Gypsy, we're trying the Closer to Nature ones and he had no problem with them a couple of months ago when he gave up on the Avent ones We might try Pigeon. I'm willing to give anything a go right now
Dis: Good on you for working out on the wii fit! We are going to get one soon (hopefully). They are just so expensive. Figure it is cheaper than the gym and I don't have to put my kidlets into care. Not to mention fun!!
Ren: Funny you mentioned about the new due in thread. I came in for a quick look the other morning (the long way) and started skimming through......who were these people!?? When I started reading I realised I was in the wrong section DER!! Cute pic of Ava! It's great when they can pick up toys. Dash can hold things to his mouth to chomp on now. It doesn't take long.....to turn from a newborn into an active little person. My favourite ages are 6 months, around when they are sitting and interacting with you more, and now 2ish (gosh, the conversations my DD and I have - great to be able to finally understand her he he). Enjoy every moment with your bubba girl!!
AFM: Well it seems that the Zantac might not of been working for Dash all along. Now that he is on Losec (because doctor did not want to increase Zantac amounts) he will polish off around 180mL (was only around 120mL) per bottle in half the time - what a great improvement!! This of course means that I don't have to feed him every hour in the morning and the afternoon. Because he has a 3-4 hour block of sleep around lunch and sleeps at least 12 hours at night, this does not leave a lot of time for feeding. So, most of his awake time was consumed by feeding, but not anymore!! He even enjoys floor time!! Phew! Feeding solids is also going well. It is great that he has that block of sleep in the middle of the because it gives DD and I some girlie time....very important you know he he. She has only just stopped having her lunch sleep so this is time we can now enjoy together.
We were off to a huge playground nearby today BUT it is raining!! It is a huge fort as long as our house and has ramps, firemans poles etc. Anyway, a lot of fun!! Instead we are headed to the nearby shopping centre where you can pay $3.50 to play on the jumping castle wonderland....only for under 5's and part of a cafe so we can enjoy some nice food as well. Should be a good day.
Wow our bubs are starting to do stuff - ahhh thta's so much fun!
Dis - I could NEVER get Ned to take a bottle hence it was 2 years of him being attached to me. And I foolishly haven't tried H with one so prob the same but oh well! He's prob my last so I'll enjoy it while I can! Good luck!
Orange - Oh I love places like that where you can have a cuppa while kids play happily. Joined up an indoor placy centre here - it's $7 a week direct debited but we go once a week usually (more when the weather is bad), the kids play, we all have lunch and I can read the paper in peace. That is until H becomes more demanding
I hear H stirring so will be quick....still poohing everything and still a bit of blood. Hoping it stops soon or I am back to the docs. Weighed yesterday and 7.3kg so that's good given he's been so sick! Has slipped a bit on his curve but I don't care about those much anyway - thought he would have been worse. Lucie wasn't that size until she was 7 months! And he rolled yesterday Needs more tummy time but we'll get there, hard with 2 other youngies to do much of that for fear of him being jumped on
Anyway gotta scoot Kinder this morning and taking Ned for a haircut. My big boy has the most gorgous platinum blonde hair and I hate getting it snipped off!
Orange, yeah the Wii Fit is awesome! WE got the Wii for ourselves for Chrissy with the intention of getting the Fit once Jared was here. I'm going to be giving up my gym membership since I just can't get there often enough, and now that J is refusing the bottle it will become even harder.
That playground sounds awesome! I love going to the park, I always have a play too J goes in the HAB so I can go down the slide and climb stuff. I'm such a big kid
It's raining here too
Soph, I just gave Ben his first haircut a few weeks ago. He has platinum blonde hair too, super-duper curly as well, which is why I cut it rather than going elsewhere. I figured if I stuffed up, nobody would notice
We have the same problem with Jared and floor time. Ben is suddenly fascinated with Jared's playgym thingy that hangs over him and gets too carried away 'showing' J how to use it. He gets nowhere near as much floor time that Ben got
Good luck with the poo thing. Hopefully it will fix itself up so you don't need a return trip to the doc.
I booked us in for needles on Friday Jared is four months old today!!!
They have plenty of time to be all grown up later!
Jared is far more interested in toys than Ben was at this age and loves to pick them up, play with them and put them in his mouth. Ben never put stuff in his mouth!
