I've been MIA for a while am just in the last bit of getting over a flu I've had for 2+weeks. It has been horrible, one of the sickest I have been in my life!
Noah is going well. He hasn't had any new teeth for ages now but he has 4on top and 4 on bottom. He says dada, mama, nana, bubba, car, dog, ta, botbot (bottle), and bye. His newest trick in rollypolly where you make your hands into fists and roll them around each other in the front of your body (does that make sense?)
He still isn't walking and only occasionally stands completely by himself. I think he's the only one in here not walking and he is the only one at mothers group, except for one baby who only started crawling at 12months and only really commando crawls. everyone at mothers group is suprised because Noah was one of the first ones to do everything. He has been able to hold his head up, look around and support his own weight since birth (something that was commented on by midwives and chn) been sitting since 5months, crawling at 6, pulling himself up and walking holding on to furniture etc since 6.5months so not sure any advice or comments? I know it's normal etc but I don't know I just want him to walk lol!
Pregnancy is going well I'm 10w5days so almost at that magical 12weeks!
Nicky, Oh my goodness it's tomorrow!!!! Congrats I cannot wait to hear all about it and see pics!!!
Hey Jas, sorry to hear you've been sick, I'm so glad winter is over, hopefully all of the nasty bugs that have been floating around will start to disappear for a while, to give us all a break from sick kids & sick us!
Re Noah's walking, TBH, I wouldn't worry about it yet, although it's hard not to when it looks like "everyone" else's kid is doing it. Liam only started a couple of weeks ago (maybe 3?) and it came from nowhere, he didn't start by standing on his own, he just went from holding onto furniture to walking, BUT he has no words like Noah. Lots of sounds, but definitely not anything that I could say was a meaningful word, so I would look at kids like Noah & think that they're so much more advanced than Liam & then start worrying about how I could do more to teach him words. So you see, it's a circular argument. There's a little girl in my MG, who's a June baby, who isn't particularly interested in moving, but who can point to your nose, your ears, your hair etc - when I try to teach Liam these things he just looks at me as if I'm a bit mental. They're all learning different things at different times, and Noah will definitely get there. And then he might turn into a rascal like my kid & start taking himself out for a walk, which is a whole new world of vigilance
Lol thanks that's so true! Noah knows what a nose is (gee thats a bit of a tongue twister) He also has a new trick where if you do something he doesn't like he lays down flat on his back and kicks his legs around hehe oh and he also knows you know the scrolly thing on the mouse so you can go up and down well he's figured out how to do that and he also gets Phil's xbox controlled and moves the joysticks around with his thumbs and gets bottles and moved his hand round like he's opening it but he doesn't cause he doesn't know to grip on to the lid so he is pretty clever. I have a feeling on day he might just start running. Nana was telling me thats what my mum did wasn't walking at all and then one day literally started running lol Noah's just cheeky enough to do that oh the other thing thats funny that he does is if Phil and I don't let him do something he starts calling out nana nana nana!! lol
well just as I posted that there was a dvd on in main menu and Noah has just started it! when it comes to technology our boy is very clever lol
hope everyone is well in here. just a quick one from me as I am about to take a nap while avaleigh is sleeping. I've been doing the nightfilling job for a week now and last night we worked through until 3am which meant i only got 4 hrs sleep before avaleigh woke up! so going to have a nap for the run tonight, which i dare say, is going to be another long one!
avaleigh is going great. ALL her teeth are out now!! eating is going much better since they are all out and she has just been a joy.
anyway, better go and make the most of a baby sleeping and sleep myself
Well ethan and i are finally both healthy again and at the same time Its great! Isn't gastro horrible, sooo much washing. I was so excited when ethan had a solid poo this morning tmi, sorry! Pregnancy going well, feeling uncomfortable though but still awhile to go yet.
Nicky- Your wedding has snuck up!! Have a wonderful day tomorrow hun and enjoy your honeymoon.
V- Gee hope you were able to have a good sleep! Also hope you dont have to work that late tonight. Glad avaleighs teeth are not giving her anymore trouble, that must be a relief for you both.
Jas- Good to hear you are almost over the flu. Yay at being nearly 12 weeks its such a relief to reach it.
Jan- Omg @ liam leaving home!! Lol he is a little explorer.
Sarah- Hope the move went okay.
Mel- How are you all? Hope you are all well. I never got around to uploading my belly pics, slack i know i have them loading now so will let you know when there up.
Well im off for now, im going to make a hot chocolate (its freezing here atm) and probably just lurk here for a bit. Good Night Ladies and Bubba's.Hope you all have a great weekend.
Jess, your looking fantastic. So glad to hear you are both feeling much better. Thanks for asking about us. We are well. No more hospital trips, which is a miracle.
Nicky, Happy Wedding Day!! Will be thinking of you today. All the very very very best.
I have my school reunion tonight, looking forward to it. I haven't kept in contact from anyone from school, so should be good to catch up with everyone.
We are well, Jack is amazing. Still surprising us each day with the words he can say. He is now saying Park, Playdough, Painting, Charli, willy, bath time, water ta, peese, to name a few. He is my sweety that's for sure, such a little cuddler.
Thanks Mel it was so nice to hear that, lately all i get are the 'your huge' or 'are you having a monster' comments! Jack is doing really well with his speech. Ethan is saying a few things but most of the time you cant really understand him, he says nose, gentle, hello, cat, doggy, nanna, poppy and he has just started saying oh dear and all done. He also says Meeka which is his aunties name and she lives in qld and seen him for the first time when he was 5 mths and hasnt seen him since so i taught him her name as a suprise for her when she arrives in 5 wks. He also say belly bubs name now too, which is great. Glad you are all well and have not had to have jack at the hospital any more. Enjoy your renuion tonight sounds like fun.
Nicky am thinking of you today hun hope you have a wonderful day.
Its great! Isn't gastro horrible, sooo much washing. I was so excited when ethan had a solid poo this morning
