Babies Born June 1st - 15th 2008

[HotKim]

Hello Ladies

Lovely to read all the posts and see where everyone is and what your babes are doing. Aren't we all lucky to have such bright little characters in our lives??

Nate is also rolling, dribbling lots, still trying to figure out how to get a fist in his mouth and sleeping very well.

I too am dreading moving him from his bassinet into his cot. He doesn't sleep with us but having had him next to me for three and a half months makes it hard to put him in his own room. I also think I'm a sook for my pretty boy. I love how even when he's in someone else's arms he gazes at me like he's in love....

Kim, I couldn't agree more! I don't think there's a day where I don't think how lucky I am to have such a beautiful, happy, smart little boy!

We're making do with the bassinette for now... still too chicken to try the portable cot. (We haven't got our big cot from my aunty yet) but another few weeks and we can't use it anymore. He's starting to try and sit himself up, not to mention rapidly getting too tall!

We tried our first taste of solids this evening too - was an interesting and messy procedure! My little boy is growing up too quickly!

isnt it exciting giving them their first solid foods!!ive been giving cammi solids for nearly 2 weeks now she just seemed like she was hungry all the time,she loves it makes a mess thou..i was wondering should i be giving her water now that she is on solids she doesn't eat heaps but is still always on the boob of a day the doc didn't mention it????im hoping she gets some teeth soon and doesn't take ages for them to come through!!!
i can't believe how quick they grow its amazing..
i couldn't imagine putting cammi in her own room its good to have her close pitty she wouldn't sleep in her bassinette thou its so easy of a night i dont have to get up..good luck on that one ladies..

I would imagine that breast milk would be enough to satisfy Cammi's thirst, Skye. Unless you want her off the breast, giving her water would decrease your supply.

Well, I took the plunge today and am currently moving the bassinet OUT and the cot IN. Nate is too tall for the bassinet and it rocks so much if he gets too upset that he's obviously too big for it. I'm brining the cot in as he still wakes overnight. (Yeah right, I just can't bear to leave him alone in that big room!!)

It's my eldests birthday today too so Nate had better get ready for lots of hugs from visitors!!!

Better go, he's giving me that look again...

Wow lots happened since i was last here.

I think it was Taegan and Skye, we all have June 15th baby's YAY

Well we've had a few issues weight wise with Lilli. Bascially she was really good then just stoped gaining weight for a whole month, however, after changing bottles and formula we are back on I had her weighed teh other day, and shes finally 5.5kg Oh im so happy now. Oh the whole teething thing, i forgot all about that. That was until the other wk of course. She has two teeth sitting on her bottom gums that flare right up, then they go. Poor little thing, it must be so painful for her.

Well will be back more regular from now on,
RACH

Skye!! Hope you have a great day.

Nate has taken a few days to settle into his cot but is slowly getting there, sleeping more and more. I tried him on baby rice yesterday and he loved it. Then I panicked thinking that my milk supply will decrease if I start him on food so I'm not doing it again for a while. Nate is the first of my children that I've actually loved b/fing so I'm not in a hurry for it to end.

Hope all the mums and babes are well.

thanks hotkim,i give cammi solids and she loves it but much prefers the boob i was worried about the same thing but she still feeds all the time i am dreading when she fully starts solids i love b/f....
yay for nate being in his cot...

[Mirandabelle]

Rach, very glad to hear Lilli is growing again, it's always worrying when they don't put on much/any weight! Zeke's a slow grower and I'm always trying to make sure he has an extra feed to help him stack on the kilos!

Skye - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a fantastic day, and that dp spoils you rotten!

Kim, awesome that Nate is starting to sleep well on his own, we are still some ways away from that with Zeke.
