William is rolling from his front to his back both ways and on his back he arches and bends in such a way that it looks like he might but so far no glory. I have the video camera on stand by so with any luck we will catch on film for dad (DH has been away since Will was 9 weeks old and won't be back till he is 6 months, bloody army!). I have been making my own food as well but he gets the odd jar if I run out. Am still trying to get textures right though, lol.
Macca - welcome back! Sounds like Will is a happy, healthy little fella. I just can't get over how many boys there are in this thread. Isabella and Seraya are going to have their pick of them in about 17-odd years ()
Becstar - for Jake rolling! I haven't had Cam weighed for the past two weeks as I haven't been feeling the best, but I'll take him back to the CHN next week. I'm actually interested to see how he's going because over the past few days he's been a bit wishy-washy on the boob - only taking one breast, and then only for 7-8 mins (he used to have both boobs, approx 20 mins per feed). This is happening every morning, in particular. However, Cam's not grizzling for more milk in between his three hourly feeds, so I can only presume he's getting enough. How's the lovely (Princess) Mary ...? I see she popped off to the local chemist today for some Huggies! Sigh ... what's a Taroona girl to do when the world press is following her around the Hobart 'burbs?
Laura - for Sammy rolling too! Poor old Cam's stuck on one speed at the moment ... flat on his back. He rolled for the first time two weeks ago, but we're still waiting for a repeat perfomance. I'm sure he'll do it again when he's ready.
Luey - how are you and E feeling? Hope you have some luck with E's sleeping soon .
Njd - Has Dusty settled down again? Glad to hear you find BB helpful. I'm thankfull I found the site and I agree that it's a great support network. Obviously nothing replaces RL friends, but not all RL friends understand the ins and outs of having a new baby, either.
Mel - how are you and James? Getting some sleep?
All-boys - woo hoo, you gym champ! Good for you! How's the pureed pear going?
Off the subject of babies for a sec, has anyone else been watching the Olympics? This is the first time I've watched it in years, so I'm actually enjoying it.
Have a good night everyone.
Andie xx
Oh, and Bec ... good luck with the dress fitting. I have every confidence that you'll look gorgeous on the day .
Bec - I have tried Baby Beehinds - not a great fit on Sam, seems to leek the second they go on. Bum genius - Work great but not that cute! Cushie Tushies Couture - Quite like these, although he is in between spap sizes so the aren't fitting that well ATM. And Bubblebubs - So fluffy and soft! The look soooo cute and work really well on him.
Next order I think I'm going to try the Ittibitti's and Blueberry's they both look so soft!
I think DH is going to have a heart attack when he sees the credit card bill! But hey, it will save in the long run!
Also got some Baby Legs the other day and I tell you what...Sam looks so CUTE!
I think I could talk all day about these nappies! I'm utterly obsessed!
HI Girls
All is good on the home front. We had no other problems with Isabella . Riley is going to hospital on Friday to have his grommets put it. I am hoping that will stop him from whinging . The other morning he got up at 6am and started whinging by 7.30am. I thought great I am going to be in a long day, as it turned out it wasn't so bad.
As for Isabella, I haven't started her on solids yet. I probably could as Riley started solids at 5 months. I love the way baby nurses say not to start baby on solids til 6 months but not all babies are the same.
Isabella is down to 2 bf a day and the rest of the feeds is formula. I am doing this so I don't get mastitis like I did with Riley when I weaned him at 6 weeks.
I have a like porky of a daughter I had her weighed just over a week ago and she packed on 810g in 2 weeks and now weighs 6.09kg.
Isabella is trying really hard to roll over but I think she is too fat to get there.
The kids and I are flying to SA at the end of November for 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to that as it will be the first time that my family (other then my mum) and friends have seen Isabella. We were planning to drive over for Christmas but things are tight in the money department because we are building a house and have to pay 2 mortgages off.
I had better go as I can hear Riley dropping spoons into the sink.
Its really good to hear that all the other Mums and their Babies are doing so well in our little group
Take Care

Welcomeback MAcca - You are doing so well with your DH away.
I am so tempted to get some MCN. A local girl uses peapods and is happy with them, jsut for at home. Which I think is what I would do. I have 6boxes of huggies to use first though . I stocked up when we were in the city and they were on special I. Durig my pregnancy I really wanted to use them but am glad I haven't yet, I would not have managed in the early days at all. WE are on rainwater so I need to make sure we have lots of water before I commit. I won't wash them with other clothes, I know others do but that is not for me. Plus we have a front loader and it takes 2 hours to go through. Sometimes I have enough trouble keeping up with the normal washing.
Hi Bec, Andie, Laura and njd and everyone else.
We are feeling much better. I am still coughing though and a bit of a runny nose. E didn't seem to get it too bad but I think I will buy a vaporiser when we are in the city.
He hardly slept yesterday, was out all day, so only had 3 or 4 catnaps of 30mins during the day. he slept from 6-8, had a feed, I topped him up with formula then he slept till 12 where I resettled him, should have fed him then. E woke again at 1, had a feed then 550am. WOOOO. That is a really good night for us at hte moment.
I forget who asked but E is spending much less time at the boob, sometimes will only have one and if I try to attach him to the second will scream. I leave him a while and he will usually have more. He is abig boy, he knows where it comes from . So funny as soon as I pull my boob out he is frantic and will latch on even if I am not ready. I have learnt to get in the right position first.
When he was last measured almost 2 weeks ago he was 6.98kg, length 66cm and HC of 44cm. My all in one 00 suits will only fit for another month or so. Some not even that long.
i dont have time for personals now but have 2 questions to ask
firstly James has started biting me while on the boob, at first i would sternly say NO to him and take him off and his bottom lip would drop and he would start screaming but now when he does it he thinks its the funniest thing on earth and does it as soon as i put him near it, does suck at all just goes straight to biting so i take him off and put him back on and he does the same thing over and over, its to the point he is having formula beccause he wont suck on boob just bite, any advice ? im sure his teeth are probably moving aorund but geez there is only so much a girls nipple can take !
secondly he has a tiny little freckle near his elbow, has had it for about a month and i dont know if i should be concerned about it, his skin has never been exposed to sun so i dont understand it, any thoughts on that ?
Mel, I am clueless on the biting but am interested in seeing what others have to say. Jake has done it to me a few times and I'm expecting it more and more as he teethes. The freckle.....hmm...I wouldn't be concerned unless it is raised or getting bogger or anything. Only because I know Ben and Chloe have got freckles in places I know aren't exposed to the sun. I guess they just happen!
Laura, yay on Sam rolling too Sam must be a funny fit or Jake is really a OSFM () cos I've never had any trouble with any of those. In fact Jake wears BBB's to bed at night.I love my BG's, like you said not very cute but they are so easy and great for DH's and babysitters. I use mine a lot in the mornings when I'm foggy, LOL. Would love to see a pic of the Baby Legs? i haven't tried these yet but am thinking on them....... Have you been to Nappycino?
Luey, glad you are feeling better. On MCN, I don't find it too much extra washing, most days I do two full loads (I have a big 8kg washer too) and then a small nappy load. I can get away with washing every 2nd day but my nappy bucket is over flowing! Depending on what you use determines the washing amount too. All-In-Ones are obviously bulkier and take up more washer room but I find if I use fitted nappies and covers then my bucket doesn't fill up quite as quick cos I don't need to wash the covers each nappy change, I just interchange two all day. I guess as water is an issue even if you just used MCN a couple of days a week so you only had to wash them a couple of times a week instead of every day you would still notice a difference in your wallet!
Jo, glad Isabella is doing well and that she has packed on so much weight! lol. Jake packed it on too when he went to formula. Your trip home sounds lovely, I'll bet you are looking forward to it. Best of luck for Riley Friday. Even though it's a fairly common surgery it is still hard to see your child in hospital, so for you.
Andie, you know I am SO ignorant!! I had no clue that HRH was even here!! I had to read your post a couple of times then ask DH!! On the 'boob time' Jake is the same and it was worrying me. Ever since we have relactated he has NEVER fed for 20min, not even both sides. He will feed for maybed 15 minutes all up and sometimes not even that much. If he is still on there it's only cos he is comfort sucking and not the big deep sucks for milk.
Anyway, that's it for me, I'm off to try and get the house in order before I top up Jake for the night. I'm returning all the pump equipment to the LC soon (I bought one myself off ebay v. cheaply!) and I would love to do/give her something relatively inexpensive but special to say thankyou for all her amazing support. I was going to include a pic of Jake but I was hoping one of you would have any ideas?? I don't wanna go OTT as it is a professional relationship and her job but I need and want to show my appreciation.
