Babies Born June 2007 #6

[~Debbie~]

Hi all
Sorry, i have not been around. Aiden is really taking my time, which is good. He is getting really active, and i love spending time with him more now.
A quick update - He is about 10.5kg, and i think about 78cm. He is not crawlinng, can wiggle back wards & side to side thou. Doesnt really roll around much, just tum, to back. Walks with support. Prefers walking to most things really. Is not sitting on his own. He has loads of tummy time, but, doesnt seem to help much with the crawling. Still waking thru the night, at least once, sometimes twice a night for a feed. Day sleeps - AM, about 90min i guess. And, again in the arvo. Oh, and 2 bottom teeth. Came thru on the 04th & the 06th of Jan.
Me - we are actively ttc#2. Currently in TTW. I so wish you could get test 14days before af arrived. I hate the suspense.
And, in a nutshell, thats about us...
I keep forgetting to subscribe to new thread to keep up, so, will have a quickie read over the last few pages and post again soon.
Take care all
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR as well

Starfish - DD is really rocking on!! I had to go out for the morning so I had DD#2 and DH was at home with DD#1. While he was vacuuming he heard a couple of times, "Daddy!!" and when he came out he'd find DD on the potty and a wee in it!! Only one incident today though (thank goodness I was out ) as it was a poo incident in the pants.........ewwwwwwww!!! DH is so amazing!! I would've dry reached my way through it but he just dealt and moved on! Ooh! Love him!! I just think its amazing that your on the tt journey with such a young one!! You're truly amazing!! Well done!!

Debbie - and to you lovely!! Thinking of you and fingers crossed! Oh my goodness!! That is so exciting!!!!!!

[Celsie]

Good luck Debbie!!! Sending you loads of &

Celsie. xoxox

Sorry girls, have been a bit busy so I can't do personals! But Debbie - great to hear from you and Aiden sounds like he's doing really well (how are you going?). Fingers crossed for you too.

Angus is zooming along, he has been able to commando crawl since Christmas and is now high speed at this. He can get onto hands and knees too, and rock around. He also gets on hands and feet with the bum in the air and steps with the feet - very funny! He loves to stand with support, and in the last week has been able to sit and play unsupported - what a legend! I think he is finally starting to chub up too, yay!! We've been trying to start solids but he really isn't that interested. The rice cereal makes him dry retch (yep, every time) regardless of whether I mix in banana or mango too. He's tasted a few things like banana, pineapple, apple, mango in his little mesh thingy, and at a little banana from the spoon yesterday too. But really not interested at all. Oh well.

We had a major nappy failure the other day, I'd only put on the nappy less than an hour before (in the morning) and popped in in the cot for a little play, but when I came back, poop everywhere!!! I was very annoyed! Anyway, I emailed the nappy company as I didn't think this should happen with a new nappy, and they have offered me a free replacement packet! Yay for them!!!! Isn't that great?

On another note, my husband came home from cricket training tonight having injured himself, looks like he has broken his foot, and he is on crutches. He's going to have a bad day tomorrow, all his patients are going to give him a serve about him being the injured one. And he has to endure that for 10 hrs!!! Not to mention the pain, and worrying about whether it is broken or not (he is getting an xray tomorrow).

Anyway, must go now, time for the dreamfeed and bed I think. Take care all!

[Starfish]

How did you go with the sleeping Jen? Last night was one of the few nights when Diana slept through. Unfortunately, I had a case of insomnia and stayed up half the night reading. Oh well, I guess its the only time I get to do it...

[~Debbie~]

Thanks Charly & Celsie.
We need some good news atm, today i am off to get one of my dogs put down. She has been battling cancer quite successfully for last 3months, but, just in the last 2 weeks, she has really started to go down hill. So, before she gets to much worse, i am off to the vets with her today. She will be 9 in April. I guess 3 months was better then the original 2 weeks we where initally given.

Fi - sorry to hear about your DH. I hope it turns out not to be broken! How funny - his patients giving him a serve! Angus sounds like he is doing well. I cant wait for Aiden to be able to sit on his own. He gets so bored now laying down.


Last night, i tried to get Aiden to sleep thru, and resettle without a bottle. He had his dinner at about 6, a bottle at 7.30, and another bottle at 9. He woke again at 11, and i decided NO - you have had enough, so, i just kept resettling him all night. I couldnt sleep anyway, so i figured why not. I ended up giving him a bottle at 3am, which he drank like 10ml, then went back to sleep till about 4.45, when he had another 100or so ml. Then, asleep again till about 6.30, where he grizzled abit for about 5min, and went back to sleep till 8, which is his get up time. I really want him to stop needing a bottle to resettle during the night. If i end up being preg, I am going to need my sleep! So, time for some tuff love.

[MumofLewis]

Hi Girls,

Feathertop - Good old Angus, commando crawling! Lewis is at the rocking stage and like debbie i can't wait for him to crawl as he too gets bored and really frustrated. I wonder why Angus is not into solids yet, I suppose they are all different, he must love his milk instead! I have one of those mesh things but I find it just turns to juice and gets so messy, I think I will try apple tomorrow.

Debbie - Sorry to hear about your dog
It seems Aiden doesn't want milk then when he wakes if he is only having 100 ml or so. That's good a good sign though because if you are training him to go back to sleep again, hopefully it will only take a few nights and he will sleep through. I stopped dreamfeeding Lewis when he started solids and he didn't notice! Weird to think he stopped 200 ml and didn't care. He now sleeps 7pm-5am so that's great.

Lewis is 9kg now, I get comments all the time about what a big boy he is! My friend has a 21 month old who is only 10kg! They all come in different packages hey?!

Anyway hope everyone has a nice long weekend.

Well I gave in last night and we just went to bed in my bed .. I was too tired to try and persevere (naughty me I know). We have just put the cot in our room next to the bed so hopefully I can update with some good new this afternoon! Kenzie is really enjoying her bath time now she can sit up in the bath and play with all her bath toys ... so cute!! I have switched to Gaia Skin Naturals and its been great for her skin only a small bit of exzema (sp?) left on her cheek and it nearly all gone yay!


rylansmum :: How exciting planning your wedding!! You sound like you are on top of things and all organised. I have so much to do I just won;t know where to start. We are getting married on one of the whitsunday islands its just gorgous up there! Ashlyn sounds like she is into everything like all the June babies keeping us very busy! The only TV that Kenzie will actually sit up and watch is the "So you think you can dance ad" - the one with the song that goes "Every body move yur feet and feel united whoooahwoa" MMM! Strange little child she is! hehehe

Charlyfrog :: OMG about DH and the poo pants! My DH would not have coped with that PMSL .. he prolly would have got the hose and took her into the garden hehehe

MumofLewis :: Well done on losing a kilo this week! Only 2 more to go .. wow I so wish thats all I had to go!! You are so so lucky to have Lewis who sleeps through the night!! Hopefully Kenzie is not too far away from that milestone... ugh!

Starfish :: The sleeping didnt go so well .. I havent had time to put the cot in her bed before this morning so she has been in my bed (much to her delight!) I have just put the cot next to our bed to get ready for the day sleeps so I'll update later today and let you know how it goes!

Debbie :: on TTC #2!! Aiden will just love having a sibling so close to his age. We are thinking of TTC aswell .. just not 100% sure yet when that will be. on Aidens teeth - it really changes the way they look doesnt it? :hugs: I am so sorry one of your dogs is ill At least Aiden is too young to understand what happening it horrible when you have to explain these things to children

Celsie :: Hope both you and Celeb are happy and healthy!

Feathertop :: Keep trying with the food! Kenzie used to dry reach at everything (except custard lil monkey) I put in her mouth, now she eat her veges as long as there is no lumps. Good luck!! Poor DH .. hope he gets well soon!


Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Jen

[~Debbie~]

Sarah - thanks. Even with 3 solids a day, he was still having 1 to 2 feeds overnight.

But, i think he has been using it more to resettle, then he actually needed. Last night, he went to bed at 8, stirred a little about 9.30, and i just resettled him, then didnt hear a thing till 2. I tried to resettle, but, he was screaming, and holding his ear, so i gave him a bottle. I think this teethign thing is really being bad for him this time around. Still no bumps thou, i might take him back to drs to make sure he doesnt have an ear infection. Anyway, about 5.30this morning, thru to about 6.30, he was awake in his cot, and just grizzled abit, and i think played with the toys that are in there, and, i havent heard anything from him for nearly an hour now. So, i am guessing he has resettled himself.

Jen, goodluck with the sleeping thing. We decided to start ttc#2 as soon as AF returned, as it took as awhile to conceive Aiden. And we do want to keep them close together.

Thanks also Sarah & Jen on your thoughts for my poor little dog. My other dog is abit mopey, and keeps goign to the kennel looking for her. Its hard. But, it will get easier. We keep reminding ourselves that it was for the best.

[mel_thekiwimum]

Hi girls
hope everyone has had a good week and thanks for thinking of me last week - you'll all be pleased to know that this week was a lot easier and apart from having a bit of a cold Jackson had a great week at child care

Jen - yeah I did spend quite a bit of time at child care prior to starting work and its def getting easier now - and thanks for all your suggestions! and good luck with the sleeping, I know Jackson has some very tough nights - usually on a wed or thurs when I have to go to work the next day - and I usually cave in and bring him into bed with us as well its just so much easier - so I guess I'm making the same rod but he does seem to be able to settle himself more now and I think the myth about more solids and sleeping better is true for my DS

Debbie - so sorry to hear about your dog - I hope your other little dog isn't too sad as well and good luck with TTC - we'll all be keeping our fingers and toes crossed for you

Feathertop -oh no at your nappy disaster - we call them faecal emergencies and they seem to happen at the worst time possible don't they!! its good you got a replacement packet from the company well done and Jackson is commando crawling everywhere now too - just can't stop him anymore

well my darling boy is starting to wake up so better go

hugs to everyone
Mel

I think Mackenzie and I might had some sort of virus .. or just days of not getting solid sleep are catching up. I put her to bed in her cot this afternoon (right next to my bed with the side off) and she didnt settle. I gave her some cuddles in my bed with the intention of putting her back, but we both fell asleep and slept till 7.30 pm! I felt so much better for the sleep ... but little Kenzie was snuggled up right beside me and of course when I went to get out her little eyes opened and she was in play mode!!

So at 10pm I decide that its time for bed and she had been fed / bathed / had diner etc.. and I put her in her cot and layed in my bed literally right next to her.. and she wasnt happy! So I fed her while she was laying in her cot and she went to sleep. I layed there next to her for about 20mins and it seems that she is getting startled by something every 10 mins or so and reaches out to touch me, if I am next to her she settles back to sleep straight away. If she can't reach me then she wakes up and screams! Its 1am now and she has been aleep in her cot for about an hour now with out wakeing so hopefully tonight might be the turning point for her getting used to sleeping in her cot and well take baby steps from there!!

Oh and my AF has returned with vengence!! So DH and I had better start thinking quickly if we want another baby now and postpone the wedding a bit or wait till next year. I am 30 so I dont want to leave it toooo much longer iykwim.

Debbie :: Do you find having toys in the cot helps Aiden resettle or just stimulates him at bed time? I am willing try try anything Kenzie wakes up every 2 hours at least and the only way to resettle id with the boobie ..driving me crazy!

Mel :: I am hoping once Keznie gets the solids routine happening she is very fussy when it comes to food. How much do you actually give Jackson at each meal? Is 1 jar of Apples enough for a 7 month old bubby?

[Starfish]

Hi everyone

Well, so far we've had a good long weekend. On Saturday we went to an event in the park, then were going to go into town to watch the fireworks, but Diana fell asleep, so we stayed home and watched a DVD instead. (Actually, I'm glad that Diana went to sleep as I was too tired to go out anyway.)

Yesterday, Diana had a good day-sleep day. She slept til 10:30 in the morning (she work up before that - don't know what time it was, but I told her to go back to sleep, went to sleep myself and when I woke up at 9:50am, she was asleep). Woo hoo. She had 2 more naps of over an hour during the day too. She ate mince and beans for dinner last night and a few hours later did a poo in the potty - the nappy was clean! Yay! (Okay, probably TMI).

Today she managed to squirm off my lap and fall to the floor while I was trying to post on BB. I feel like a bad mummy now, but I think that she'll be fine.

Debbie - good luck with TTC. Hope you get a BFP soon. You are so brave wanting to do it all again! Although I am thinking of giving Diana a little brother or sister sometime I am still so not ready...

Jen - hope Kenzie takes to sleeping in her cot. It may take a few nights, but I' sure you'll get there. Good luck.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all having a good public holiday.

[Charlyfrog]

Hi girls!! Hope you're all having a great long weekend. I did the housework today.........lol! Oh public holidays are so lost on me!

Jen - Oh I really hope Mackenzie gets used to settling so you can get some much needed rest! Let me know when to hurl mammoth loads of sticky vibes and baby dust at you!! More than happy to oblige!! Hehe! Have so much fun planning your wedding too!

Starfish - they're wriggly little rabbits aren't they!! I can be holding DD#2 and she has learnt a new trick of throwing herself backwards with no prior warning! Good grief!! Gives me a heart attack especially when I only have my arm wrapped around her legs whilst standing!! Maybe she'll be a gymnast, lol! I hope Diana is ok now though. You truly are amazing at how you are toilet training her too!! I love hearing of your successes!! And yay for more sleep!!! Hope you're doing really well now too love! xx

Debbie - oh lovey! Sorry to hear about your dog. I hope your other dog recovers fast too! But on a brighter note.............STICKY VIBES!!!!!!! Hehe! DD#2 has been grabbing behind her ears as well making me worry that she might have an ear issue but today found another little tooth trying to break through, so wondering if that is what is causing her to grab?? Hows the sleeping through going for Aiden and you?? Sounds like you've got it covered though so when you are pg you'll get that precious rest you're definitely going to need!

Mel_thekiwimum - So glad to hear that the child care is working for you now! That must be a real weight off your mind!

Celsie - How are you and Caeleb?? Also, how is your DH doing these days?? Thinking of you!

Feathertop - how is your DH?? It took DD#2 ages to catch onto solids which really shocked me as DD#1 would eat until the cows came home Then bizarrely enough something must've clicked with her as now she is in a nice eating mode! To the point that apparently I can't feed her fast enough, lol! She also wasn't a huge fan of the cereal at all so have been mixing it with apple and started off really thin in the beginning. Even then she would only take the tiniest amount which was really doing my head in. Made me worried if she was getting enough all round iykwim. Now that she has taken to eating she chows down much to my relief. Hope it all works out for you love! (I have noticed though that DD must be a bit of a diva as she will eat really well if the food is warm.........when it cools down its harder to get her to take it but as soon as I reheat it, down it goes! Good grief! Lol!)

MumofLewis - they certainly come in different packages....and then they can change again so much!! DD#1 was such a chubba bubba! And now, even though there is 2&1/2 years difference between the girls, there is only around a 4kg difference in weight!! Hahaha!! Sounds like your little one is thriving!!! Woohoo!

Rylansmum - how are the wedding plans coming along?? So exciting!!

Well, DD#1 is going great guns with her toilet training! I posted in the tt section a woohoo for DD as DH & I were out of the room the other day when we heard her call out to daddy. I thought we had issues (after that other experience a couple of days before) but when we got down to her, she was sitting on the potty and had done a poo!! Completely by herself, unprompted by us to use the potty!! I am so proud of her!! I have watched her playing and then stop all by herself to go do what she needs to on the potty! She hasn't worn nappies during the day a week tomorrow and the accidents are now few and far between!
Its just me who has the issues as I didn't hold the potty properly as she hopped up off it yesterday and so her wee went all over the floor!!! I was so frustrated at myself - thank goodness it was on tiles!

I think DD#2 is cutting a new tooth - today has been a tad draining as she is only happy if she is in my arms. This is unlike her which made me look and sure enough there is a little white dot on the bottom of her gum, 2 spaces over from her middle teeth. DD#1 got her 2 bottom the 2 top teeth so looks like DD#2 wants to be different.............as usual!! LOL!! She is also rocking on her hands and knees and then throws herself forward! Lol! So not long now I guess. I think she is also becoming a mummy's girl because if I go out of her sight lately, she is not happy! Even if DH is holding her Hoping that the new tooth is the culprit! (fingers crossed!)

Oh very funny thing the other night! DD#2 does a fake cough!! It must've begun when she made the sound, either a real cough or not, and mummy and/or daddy gave her immediate attention..........so she picked up on that!! Anyways, I had just finished her last feed for the night and had her sitting on my lap and I did a real cough. Well, she thought that that was absolutely hilarious and had the biggest chuckle ever!! The more I did it (in the end I was doing fake coughs to get her to laugh..........hehehe!) the more she laughed and then she would copy!! I was laughing so much I was crying! It really was a crack up!!

Well, I best be off as DD#1 doesn't quite get the concept of "quiet time"! Lol!! Ah well, less nappies is a good pay off right now! Lol!! Take care all, will bbl!

Mwa!!

[rylansmum]

Hi ladies sorry its been a while..with work and the kids its hard to do everything lol
My wedding plans are coming along very well i think..we are trying to find a videographer atm not an easy task unfortunately..i think i have high expectations lol as everything ive seen looks like i could have filmed it myself.

Ashlyn is going great, finally settling into day sleeps, not all the time though but we are getting there, she is also discovered the house consists of more than just the loungeroom lol
Oh and she is doing the cutest thing..she waves!!!! I thought it was just random arm movement but if you say night night ashlyn and wave she will have back..its a fullarm wobble but defiantely a wave...sooooo cute!!!
Charlyfrog Ashlyn also does that its the cutest thing isnt it..they look at you as if they are so clever!!

Rylan starts preschool on Thursday its just at the end of my street so its very handy and he is very excited and im starting to worry about oh what if the other kids scare him and as he hasnt been TT for too long he has issues pulling his pants up..he would rather take them off and run around starkers LOL..i hope he is ok!! OMG my baby is going to preschool!!!


Hope everyone else is doing great, it seems our lives revolve around perseverance these days dont they LOL
byeebyee

[MumofLewis]

Hi Girls,

Rylansmum - LOL about Rylan liking being starkers! I'm sure they will be used to it at preschool, my nephew does the same thing too I think you are right to take care with your videographer, ours did look like we could have done it ourselves! It was rubbish.

I am at work today and so tired. Last night when I put Lewis to bed, he cried for about half an hour on and off, something he never does. I just kept going in every few minutes and putting his dummy in. I knew he wasn't sick because he was fine during the day etc. Anyway he woke up at 5am as usual and then when it was time to go back down about 6.30am he cried again for ages. We reckon he is doing it because he doesn't want to go to sleep, he wants to play instead. That's all we can think of as he is all smiles once you take him out. So we will have to see how long this phase goes on for. Its weird for a little boy who has never cried in his cot before. He must be getting a bit cluey!
Also he keeps pulling his hair. Does anyone elses bub's do this? I think he may have a dry scalp as I see faint small patches of dry skin sometimes. I don't know what to use, I already use natural shampoo and olive oil. But he really yanks at it sometimes, I feel sorry for him.

We took him to the beach on Sunday and he had a little paddle in the sea, he loved it. He was kicking and splashing. We start swimming lessons on Thursday afternoon so he should enjoy them.

Oh and would you believe he still won't jump in his jolly jumper! He just doesn't get it! He either pulls his legs up so he is just swinging around in mid air, or just stands and looks around. I can't believe I have the only kid in the world who doesn't like it! I'll give him a few more months and then sell it on ebay!

Anyway must be off. Hope everyone is well

[teepee2]

Hi everyone.

I havent had much time to post lately but have been having a quick read when I get the chance.

Rylansmum - thats hilarious at Rylan running around starkers - what a cutie!!! Hope he loves preschool and doesnt have any dramas.

Sarah - saw your new profile pic on FB. Lewis is really looking like a "big boy" now. He's goregous! Why do they have to grow up so fast

Charly - congrats on the toilet training and well done to DD#1 I'm not looking forward to having to go through that. It seems so daunting!!

Zofia - your not a bad mummy at all you just have an active little munchkin - Mikayla is just the same. No matter how vigilant you are it is bound to happen - its all part of their development. Eventually they'll learn from it... right???

Mel - great to hear that Jackson is enjoying child care. It must be a load off your mind.

Debbie - so sorry to hear about your dog Even though ours are a handful, and we always joke about getting rid of them, I know I would be devastated if one of them needed to be put down. Hope Aiden is doing well.

Well I dont know whats happening with Mikayla at the moment. Her sleeping patterns are just all over the place!! She only has 2 power naps during the day (usually 30-45mins) and is just terrible at night. She wakes up crying, shaking and scrambling to get out of her cot - like she's terrified of something. Most of the time she's still half asleep and her legs are really wobbly so she hits her head in the process making it even worse. Last night I put her down at 7pm and she was up every 1/2 hour. Then at 3am she woke up in such a state, she had her eyes open and was looking around like she was scared of something but I really think she was still asleep. I had trouble settling her and even after putting her into our bed she was still very restless and crying in her sleep. My neighbour suggested that she might be having night terrors which I didnt seriously consider until last night. My poor little girl really looked petrified. I dont know what I can do to help her. What could she possibly be dreaming about? Isnt she too young for bad dreams/nightmares?? Any ideas or suggestions??????

I'm at work so have to go but will try to check back in tonight.

Take care xx

[~Debbie~]

Thanks all for you warm thoughts of me and my dog, and all the baby dust and sticky vibes you have been sending my way. I hope it all works. I am tempted to test already, but, I will wait till AF is due.

Mel – Glad to hear Jackson is settling well into childcare. I hope he gets over his cold quickly.

Jen – in Aiden’s cot, I really only have some teething toys. A set of ‘keys’, 2 small teddies, and another big teething ring. Sometimes, during the night, if he is abit awake, I can leave the hall light on, and his door ajar, and he will play for a bit, and then go back to sleep on his own. ATM, he is teething, and I can sometimes only get him to sleep by lying down with him on the bed. I cuddle him up on his side in the crook of my arm, and then, when he is asleep, I put a pillow there, so he can still feel something along his back, and, so far, it seems to work.

Aiden has 3 meals a day as well - 1 jar of Heinz breakfast stuff, porridge or muesli variety for breakfast, 1 baby yoghurt for lunch, and then homemade meat & vege for tea, about 120gms, plus a baby yoghurt. He will generally still have 3 to 4 bottles a day as well, depending. While teething, he doesn’t tend to want milk.

Zofia – Congrats of the great sleep! Wow, that’s wonderful. Sometimes I think I am mad at wanting another one so soon, but, then Aiden smiles, and I forget about the tears and how frustrating it can be.

Charly – Aiden is constantly rubbing his ears. Is well into his 2nd week of doing it, maybe even longer, but, no teeth yet. I am thinking about taking him to the gp to make sure he doesn’t have an ear infection. He does drool, fingers in mouth etc, but, still, not even a bump on his gums. I feel so sorry for him. I am not really stressing atm with his night sleeps, as last night, he slept better, but when he was waking, he was holding his ears. I have cut him back to 1 feed overnight which is better thou. Oh, he does the fake cough thing to, it sooo cute. Congrats to DD#1 for the TT as well. Way to go!

Rylansmum – ROFL at Rylan – how cute! We all have that to look forward to I am sure. Will be thinking of you both on Thursday. Hugs. And how cute of Ashlyn to wave! I can’t wait for Aiden to start responding like that.

Sarah – it’s frustratingly cute when you want them to sleep, they want to play. It’s hard to resist the cute smiles isn’t it? I hope Lewis settles down and sleeps better for you at nights. Aiden starts swimming lessons next week, I can’t wait. He loves the water. He doesn’t pull his hair, so, I can give you any help on that one. I know some of the mums at my playgroup use some sort of natural baby wash with either apricot or almond oil in it. Can’t remember, but, apparently its good, and they get it from an all natural type store. I’ll ask today what exactly it is, and let you know.

Tina – sounds like night terrors. Poor little thing. I can’t think what they would have to be scared off, but, it certainly is what it seems. Mikayla is not going thru some sort of separation anxiety is she? Maybe during the day, letting her go to sleep with you (or your DH) on your bed, even if it means she just might get a few good sleeps in, and will then help her better at night. Have you tried the Brauers Calm? Or, I know they don’t recommend it anymore, but, phernagan? I have it for Aiden now, as he was waking up screaming in his sleep. I told the chemist I had a older child, and they gave it to me. The dosage on it is 5-15ml for a 2 to 5yr old I think. I give Aiden about 1 - 1.3ml and it doesn’t knock him out completely, he will still wake overnight 1 or 2 times for a feed, but, it just is enough to settle him. Sometimes, during the day if he is really really unsettled, I will give him 0.5ml, just to help him abit. Esp with the teething thing, as if I have just given him panadol within the last 30min or so, he will throw up milk, so I cant use milk if I need to get him to sleep. Goodluck.

Celsie & Feathertop – hope you are both doing well.

And, I think that’s it for me, I think I have said everything I wanted to say thru out my post.
Oh, on Aiden’s 7month birthday, we measured and weighed him. 78cm, 10.6kg. I am thinking about size 1’s already!! This boy is going to be a tall kid.

Take care all.

[MumofLewis]

Tina,

Poor Mikayla, fancy having bad dreams already. I googled night terrors and it did say it can be caused by irregular sleep patterns and overtiredness. Maybe the short day sleeps are causing the bad dreams at night? Anyway you will have to read up on it but I can't think of much to help with day sleeping, Lewis only has 2 sleeps in the day of 30-60 mins each aswell. Apparently they can be trained to resettle themselves back to sleep but he never has been able to do it.

Debbie - Lewis has been pulling his ears for about a week too. I wondered if it's just that he knows they are there and likes pulling them! I don't think he has teeth coming at the moment. I did also wonder about an ear infection especially with the swimming lessons this week, but I figure he's not grumpy so I'm sure it's okay. Lewis is nearly in size 1 aswell, in fact his Cotton On stuff is size 1. I wonder if we had girls next time, would they be much smaller??
