Babies Born June 2007 #4

Hi everyone

I feel like I haven't been around for ages, although it's only probably been a few days...

Our wedding went well last week. I put some photos up in my gallery, but I am going to have to do a proper write-up and post some more photos soon.

Diana had her first outing to the beach yesterday, but I don't think she liked it very much. Too cold and windy... She got to dip her feet in the sea for the first time though, so that's kind of cool.

Mel - hope you feel better soon.

Hi to everyone else.

Congrat's Mrs Starfish! Looks like you had a nice day!

Lewis has come on really quickly in the last few days. Not only is he laughing non stop at everything we do now, but he can also turn around on his play gym so he faces the other way and he did his first roll yesterday too, from front to back. So he's mobile at last!

We just went to Toys R Us. We are going to get him a baby walker for xmas, although not sure if we will use it as a walker yet, it's just that it converts to a rocker and it also has lots of toys on the tray so he can be upright when he's playing. I think he is getting a bit bored of always being lying down. They have a great sale on if anyone's interested. The sale catalogue is on their website.

Hope everyone's well

Hey where is everyone! busy enjoying the sunshine maybe!

I've been busy this week making Lewis's Christmas cards. They look really cute, especially with the sparkly pipe cleaners around the photo, thanks Charly for that idea! I took a photo of Lewis with a santa hat on and he is really laughing in the photo. I can't wait to have his first santa photo done!

I went to the library today to get some books on weaning. I don't plan to start until xmas time but thought I'd read up on it all.

Lewis has started rolling from his back to his front this week. Trouble is as you all probably know already, now I can't leave the room because he gets stuck and starts whinging!

Apart from that we have been out walking every day. I've come to the conclusion my scales are dodgy, the other morning I weighed at 6am and then was 500g lighter at 8am ! I'm determined to get back to my pre pregnancy weight before xmas so that I can go swimming without people thinking I'm pregnant! I just can't seem to shift this last 4 kilos though and it's all around my middle

So what has everyne else been up to? I hope all the bubs are doing well. Can you believe how much they are changing?

LMAO ladies, no you didnt bore me to tears!!
Im hear, i rarely get time to get on these days, will still be a while before i get another chance to get on as im about to start my nail technician classes next week.
I havent had a chance to read to much, but just managed to read about the immunisations etc, Lachie had his 4month ones and had a reaction, he got a fever right up to the borderline of heading to hospital (37.2, thats the limit and thats what he was) he got a slight rash on his head that took 3days to go away, his drinking was all over the place for the 1st 24hrs but by sunday night (had immunisations friday morn) (except the rash) he was back to normal.

Lachie has rolls from his back to his belly like its going out of fashion lol, for the past couple of weeks he doesnt whinge much when he does it as he has learnt to manover some what to get to his toys, so he doesnt seem to mind when i leave the room, he is trying so hard to crawl atm its the cutest thing.

When he got his 4 month immunisations 26th October (4months 3days), got him weighed and measured, although its prob changed now he was 8.4kgs and 66cms tall, in the 90 percintile!!

he is learning so much atm, i can hardly keep up, as soon as i ring to keep people updated on what he is up to, he does something new!!

Lachie eats solids for lunch and tea, mainly avacado at lunch and potato, butternut and sometimes carrot for tea. I dont give him solids all the time, might only have lunch one day and tea the next then nothing for a day or two, depends on what he is like with his prior bottle. He loves his food though.

I hope he copes well when i start my course next week, as for 2 nights (til 9.30pm) he will either be at mums or at home with Rick, during the day he will be at mums, during the day im not worried about, its at night that concerns me, he has hit the stranger danger stage and although its not bad this week as it was last couple of weeks (litterally only rick and i could hold him or anything!) i guess im worried that it'll start when im not around iykwim

anyway better be off, really only jumped on here as i saw you ladies concerned you had bored me lol I do come on and read when i get the chance, but i dont get a chance to post all the time, sorry.

Hope you are all doing really well
xxoo

p.s oh and if you check Lachies website out in a couple of days you'll see some updated pics, re-doing a website for him

Heya Naomi!!! So good to hear from you!! Good to hear that you are awake and well, lol!!! Your little man sounds like he is doing so fab!!!

I won't stay on long as DD#2 is keeping me busy atm with rolling over in her cot and not being able to roll back and therefore getting severley frustrated!! Her day time naps are scarce atm because of it and its slowly driving me nuts - then the moment she does snooze, its like DD#1 has a sixth sense and will drop something on the tiles or scream the house down...................grrrrrr.

Have gone and gotten sick too which is highly inconvenient as I am in the throws of organising DD#1's 3rd birthday party for this Saturday!! Have sniffles, sore throat, blocked sinus and temps...........................again, grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

So life's a peach!

Hope you are all doing well, hopefully will bbl so I can post to you all!

Mwa!!

Hi,

Naomi - Good to hear from you, sounds like Lachie is doing great. Funny you should talk about stranger danger, Lewis stuck his bottom lip out for a full 5 minutes today when my MIL held him, maybe that's why!!

Charly - Have you thought about one of those anti roll pillows for DD2? Lewis has one and it's great because I know he can't go anywhere while he's sleeping. I know Teepee has one too which she likes.

Hi everyone

I have had an extremely crappy week and am looking forward to it being over. (You can read about it in my other threads if you want, although that probably would bore you to tears...)

Good luck for your course Naomi and hope that Lachlan handles it well. When I was studying a few months ago, it took Diana a few weeks to adjust to not having me there in the evening, but eventually she was okay.

I met with my mothers group yesterday and we took photos of the babies together. It was so cute. I will post them in a few days time (after getting permission from the mothers). Diana seems to be the smallest. I hope that she's just naturally little and not because she's not getting enough milk. (I fear my milk is drying up due to recent stress, etc.) I suppose I will know when I get her weighed next. Last time at 20 weeks, she was 5.9kg and 65cm long (I might have posted this already.)

Anyway, better be off. Hi to everyone else. Good night.
