Hi Girls,

Its quiet round here!

Teepee - How's Mikayla's bad dreams?

Charly - So DD2 loves her ears then?! I think Lewis likes his too as I don't think he is teething but he often plays with them.

We went for Lewis's first swimming lesson yesterday, there was only 2 babies so it was good. He quite enjoyed it, he is so nosey though that he spent half the lesson looking at someone on the other side of the pool!

He is coming on with his crawling, he pushes his legs forward with his bum in the air but hasn't worked out what to do with his arms yet, so he just lands on his head He will be 7 months on Sunday, how time flies!

Anyway nearly bath time so must go.

Hope everyone is well.

HI girls

Again i am one guilty of MIA lol... as you can appreciate life is crazy with a toddler.

Ashley is almost crawling.. (so dont feel bad charlyfrog)... she will maybe do 1 or 2 knees then belly down lol... she can get from a to b though in her own way.

SHe has 2 teeth and been grumpy and needy so i wonder if more are on their way.

Weaned 4 weeks ago onto formula for work (now work doesnt think i will get any work which is a whole other vent raah!!!! ). She really only has about 600ml/day.

I spoke to my midwife at the ABA meetings and she said it is a little low but she looks healthy, still having 4-5 wet nappies and 2 x poos a day . so she doesnt sound dehydrated. She will also eat 3 meals a days (about 3 tablespoons each).

I jumped on the scales with her today and she was about 6.5 kg.... does that sound light???

I think i will have to book her in for a proper weight and measure next week at the baby clinic.

What are everyone elses weights?

As for ttc#2 - well i am STILL waiting for AF to return.. i mean how long can it be!!! so trying to catch the first egg! Does anyone else remember how long it took after weaning (if you have?)


Mum of Lewis - i am hoping to take ashy to her swimming lessons soon! she loves the water too!

Tina - Ashley has been doing that too the last couple of nights --- waking up screaming blue murder like she has fallen out of the cot - get in there and she is sitting up screaming - i put her dummy in her mouth, lay her down and she falls to sleep... i am putting it down to nightmares!!

bug hugs to all our june bubba

Caeleb is 8.3 kilos (he's the smallest in our Mother's Group). Like Caeleb, she wasn't huge when she was born was she, but as long as she's still gaining weight, I wouldn't be worried. Some people are just naturally smaller. I had a little bubba in child care years ago, who was always so light. I saw her a few weeks back (she's now 5 years old) and she's normal size for her age.

hi everyone, gees I have been a slacker and not been on here for ages! so much has been happening with everyone! I havent read many, but i will get up to date soon on you all!

Dane has now got his 2 bottom teeth, his 2 front top teeth have just cut thru and the eye teeth are only days away! ahhhh I have had many sleepless nites lately, it really has been terrible! I was tempted to jump on here the other morning about 3am and have a breakdown! He is waking every hour, and he wants a boob everytime. When I go in to him when he wakes, if I can just give him a rub or something i do, but lately he is standing and waiting to picked up, so I try to cuddle him and he will force his way to my boob and it is like he has super strength when doing this! Then I will put him back in his cot, go back to my bed, lie down and he will cry again, very very loudly, so i have to go back and it goes on... is anyone else having something similar? is this just the teething??

I had a rough nite last nite with him and was so close to tears and it just seemed so hard, but then today wen thinking about it, it didnt seem so bad and I was thinking why did i get so upset. I no it was cos I was tired, but does anyone else ever feel like this? that it seems worse at the time???

Dane is very clingy at the moment too, if you try to put him down he will hang on like his life depends on it or when i leave the room he gets quite upset. The one good thing that has come outta of it is he likes cuddles now, he never has been very cuddly and only liked to be touched when he wanted to iykwim? but now i get lots of cuddles!

On a brighter note, dane is mastering walking holding only on to one of our hands! He is so active and mobile it is crazy! My mum bought him a "walk n ride" thing that he can walk behind and hang on to the handle or he can sit on it, it is very cool and he had a few go's today and was loving it.

Mumoflewis - how did u both enjoy the swimming lessons? I had dane in a class for few weeks and it was great, he loved it! but he too was more interested in everything else going on around him! But he can go under the water very well and hold his breath, he just forgets to close his eyes sometimes! I keep taking to the pool and practise as often as possible and luckily it is very hot up here in Sarina. What sorts of things did you do in your lessons? We played a "humpty dumpty" game where he sits on the side of the pool and you sing humpty dumpty and when you say had a great fall, you pull them in and under the water! it was scary to do to him at first but then he is cool with it so i got better! We played ring a rosie too, same kinda thing.

anyway, i have had my rant, thanks and sorry if i have asked things that you have already been over!

i am off back to bed, no doubt i will be up very soon

hope everyone is going good and all the june bubs are well!
