Hi everyone,

Might be a bit of a me post today, I see everyone is doing well - immunisations and all.

I really didnt want to go to the doctor for her shots today but she was so funny. She had a bit of a snotty nose and cough so the doc checked her out first and as soon as he put the stethascope (SP??) on her chest she took in a big breath and let out a sigh......hahaha like she knew.

Anyways she had the first shot and didnt even cry until the needle was being pulled out of her leg then smiled at the doctor. Such a brave little munchkin. Taylor had a temp at her last shots and is already getting one now. She is sleeping at the moment but I dont think she will be as sleepy this time as she was last time either.

We had her MCHN visit last week.... speaking of big babies, I was looking at the charts and we have a baby who is off the charts in length (and I noticed she isnt even the longest on here) in the 95th percentile for weight and in the 25th percentile for her head circumference. LOL odd shaped baby!! Anyways she now has 40.9cm head, 69cm in length and 7.32kgs. Its funny coz she isnt a fatty either, she has thunder thighs like her mum but the rest is just skinny Minnie. I was told off for not giving her enough tummy time because she isnt doing 'push ups' yet with her arms out straight but both Dave and I think its a crock.

Taylor has taken to rolling over very nicely.... she has been rolling from belly to back since 8 weeks and in the last 2 or 3 weeks has been rolling from back to belly with a great deal of effort though and just in the last few days she has started doing it with such ease that every time I walk into check her in her cot she is on her belly. I roll her back over but sometimes she just rolls back again. Give it another couple of weeks and Im betting money on her army crawling!!!

To answer the solids question Taylor took right to Farex, never once spat a bit out she gave a chewing sort of motion and swollows. The only time she has the extrustion reflex (sticking tongue out of mouth) is when she has had enough of her bottle or food or whatever is in her mouth at the time. In saying that Ive given Farex a break at the moment. Taylor has a cold and ever since she started with this cough she has been very chucky. A lot fo reflux that she has never had before and its much worse after the farex - isnt it supposed to be better?? Anyways Ill just wait until she is finished swollowing all her mucous (which is causing the reflux apparently) from her snotty nose and then Ill start it again.
