Hi everyone, wow it has been pretty quiet in here!

Welcome to all the newbies.

New Mummy, with the sleeping bag thing, my boy always stands, moves around his cot. he wears a target brand, size 1 and have found that he still can stand up and move around the cot pretty well. I walk in and he is standing up in his cot with his sleeping bag on, so maybe give a try and just see how he goes. I to am constantly having to cover him and yes sometimes wakes him! I feel heaps better knowing he has the sleeping bag on him cos I no he wont be cold.

Dane is going really well, never stops. Walking all around the house, into everything! he now weighs 11.8kg and is 75cm long. whats everyone else's stats?? He eats alot of the same dinners as us now, often the following night after we have it, but he loves my cooking so that is a bonus! I think someone asked me before if i changed much of my recipe and no, I never have used much salt in my cooking, so I still dont. But when it comes to garlic and all that he just gets what we have. He even ate lamb korma curry and I found it to be a little spicy, but he loved it ! He's also on a thing where he really likes to feed himself, i can get maybe half way thru a meal and he will start carrying on grabbing the spoon and trying to play with the food. In the end i give up and put it on his tray so he can feed himself. Anyone else going thru this phase?

Feathertop - cuddles! Oh i hear ya! Dane is exactly the same and always has been from birth. When he was a real lil bub, if you touched him when he didnt want it he would move away and just let me no that he doesnt want it. I am in the same thought that maybe he doesnt no what a cuddle is, but when he does he will freely dish them out! fingers crossed anyway. I do get some cuddles, like when I first pick him up out of his cot and when he is really sleepy. Also i sit on the ground with my legs and arms open and say come and cuddle mum and he will walk over and give me a quick cuddle. He also will try and wriggle out when i am holding him or let his leg grip go of my hip, but I put that down to him wanting to get down and walk.

hope everyone is doing well!

oh, i have some pictures in the BB gallery, i have a pic that you can see his baltic amber teething necklace.
