Sounds like you are all having issues with sleeping....we are too. They all must be going through a growth spurt. Cohen seems to be less settled aswell. I hope it doesn't last much longer.
Cohen is rolling like MAD now!!! Everytime I put him down to change him he is rolling over right away. He is also showing signs of attempting to crawl. He pushes his legs on the floor to thrust himself foward and uses his hands to pull along...not long now and I'll have my work cut out for me I'm sure!!
Have to scoot...gotta go to bed. Hope your all well....hugs to your gorgeous babies!!!!
hi ladies how is everyone? So pleased (sorry ) that everyone seems to be having the sleeping or lack of I should say issues. I thought perhaps it was the fact I had been on antibiotics but no its not. Scout just doesnt seem to want to sleep anymore.
I have a very good friend from NZ visiting at the moment which has been great to catch up with her. We went to Australia Zoo on Monday and I think Scout slept for perhaps an hour all day. He was happy though taking it all in and seeing all the sites so I wasnt too worried about it but my god did he lose the plot on the way home. We live a good hour 20 from the zoo and he screamed the entire way home, he was so overtired. I thought he would wear himself out but the stubborn bugger didnt. I have never been so happy to pull into our driveway!
Oh well it cant last. Thats what I keep telling myself anyway.
Speak of the devil, he who shall rule the roost has had his 20min catnap, so I best go get him
Hi Everyone.
Last night was the first time in a LONG time that I got more than 3 hrs sleep in a row. I got 5hrs in a row!!! Very exciting! Hopefully tonight is the same
I was very excited this morning! Flynn was having some tummy time and I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. When I came back in to him he was on his back playing with his feet!! I was a bit disappointed that I didn't actually see it but he rolled over! He hasn't repeated the trick yet...maybe tomorrow!
I've been having a hard time feeding Flynn lately. He is coming on and off and and on and off...Argh! It's driving me nuts. Hopefully it's just a faze and will pass soon.
Sorry I don't have time for personals.
Hope you are all well!
Catherine
I'm sorry, I haven't done my homework and caught up on what's what.....I've been very lazy. Still got the outlaws here, they head home tomorrow and are taking Ben and Clo with them and then we'll follow later when DH gets home. So we are heading up to their place for the weekend while we still have some tax $$ to catch up with friends. I can't wait as I have a friend I chat to every week there and I love to actually SEE her. So next week when things are more settled I promise to get back into the swing of things.
In baby news, Jake learnt to roll from back to front last Saturday and is now at it constantly. So exciting but makes me so sad still.....where is my baby going?? Growing too fast. On the BF front things are going well. Down to 100ml top ups but he can go with out them a lot. I was naughty today and forgot to give him one at his 11am feed and then when he was doing well without it I also skipped his 3pm top up. He wasn't bothered at all, but i think I need to just reduce them slowly, rather than going for the chop!!! It's so tempting though, I just wanna get rid of them!
I've been missing you all terribly (luckily Mel has been keeping me informed and sane!) and can't wait to get to know the newbies! I'm not usually this scatty....I promise!
Off to do the dreaded top up bottles and tidy up for tomorrow. Hope you all have a good weekend and give those gorgeous plump cheeks a big kiss for me ( I LOVE smooching Jakes chops! lol).
Welcome to Sunday morning with a baby! i have been up since 4am when Sam decided to wake for an hour then go back to sleep,thing is I'm now totally awake!
Oh he has been so bad! I really hope this is a faze.He has been waking 5 - 6 times a night, sometimes more for the last 2 weeks.
He goes down very easily at night but just wont stay down.During the day it's a whole different story! HE WILL NOT GO DOWN! every time I try he screams and screams, he wont eat before going to sleep, or take the dummy.Nothing seems to help.
I have tried everything, Stretching out his feed so he is extra hungry, stretching out the time he is awake to make him extra tired,letting him fall asleep on me then putting him down,it just doesn't work.I know he is tired though, He was falling asleep in the Jolly Jumper on Friday,and the second I tried to take him out , Screams!
I'm out of ideas. I'm worried I'm not making enough milk anymore.He had his 4 month check up last week and was 8.8 Kg and 68.5 Cm, I wonder if my milk can sustain such a big boy.ahh I don't know.
Dh is very annoying about it too.Yesterday when we were driving Sam was crying for about 5 minutes then fell asleep.DH now thinks that if we let him cry for a couple on minutes he will just fall asleep,he doesn't seem to realise that being in the car is what got him to sleep.
On the plus side I'm coping pretty well with it all.A month ago I would have been crying along with him.
Better go, the Big Man is waking again!
Hope everyones weekends have been a little better than mine.
