FF- wow thats great that your DP wants to co-sleep, you dont hear of the daddy wanting bub in bed with them too often! :-) where are you going overseas?
i have been giving chels solids each day, she seems to swallow most of it but she is sucking it off the spoon more than chomping it off (iykwim) and she isnt opening her mouth wide like hannah did so it is kind of annoying having to push it in there LOL she is enjoying it though so i guess i will keep it up.
chelsea isnt crawling but god she is moving around. she can twist herself around in circles too, and move from one end of the rug to the other and back again.
it has been soooo hot here (brissy) so i got hannahs little clam pool out yesterday and they both had a splash. i went through hannahs old clothes and pulled out her first pair of togs, which fit chelsea. so cute! :-)
DP is so funny - he is extremely protective and is always the one making sure she isn't cold (or hot atm) and he almost runs on the rare occasion that she cries. He wasn't very good when I first started putting her in the cot to self settle even though she didn't really scream, was only whinging, and he reckons that she's too small to be in the cot by herself
I have been giving Alexandra extra feeds because of the heat. Pretty much whenever I sit down with a cold drink I will offer her a feed too. Is anyone giving their bubs water?
I bet that Chelsea and Hannah loved the water Hollo. I've been thinking about swimming lessons because we will be at my sister's for christmas and she has a pool. We're going to Russia for a couple of months to visit DP's family. He hasn't been there for 8 years so he is really looking forward to it and of course they can't wait to meet the baby.
We have been offering Immy water, just because I wanted her to get used to it before we brought in food and it has been super hot. Been giving extra feeds also.
We are heading to Sydney this weekend (leave Friday morning and get back Sunday night). Should be good. We are seeing my Grandparents (so Imogen's Great Grandparents) and some other family members!
Susie loved the farex! and pumpin! we gave her a bit of pumpkin last friday, just a lil and she thought it was marvellous! monday we tred farex and she ate up a fair bit, prob about 1/4 of the quantity on th back of the packet! not gonna give it every day just yet, just when she is asking for it
Mrs C so glad Susie is enjoying her food. Kodi just spits everything out & pulls this face like i'm trying to poison her lol
So we are gonna wait till 6 months now, Her sleeping is much better & her feeding are back to normal so i guess she wasn't ready for solids just yet.
Everything is going well here, We are in the middle of planning M's 2nd birthday & Kodi is getting so much personality now. I really love this stage
Mo - Kodi sounds like the same size as Miss T. She has rolls on her legs too.
Solids are going well.
Mrs C - Miss T tries to help mum and dad drink too by putting her hand under our cups. She gets upset if we eat without her having food.
We are giving her water to wash down her solid food - smooth consistency.
Breast feeds are about 4 hourly but not consistently - she is very distractible now and often doesn't finish her feed in one go so comes back for more.
Sleeping 7.30 to 6.30am with about 2-3 feeds in between now. Ends up in our bed sometimes if I am too tired. Using portacot in ensuite to prevent too much co sleeping. Works OK.
Not that good at settling self - sleeping after feeds
JB - have a safe trip. Where are you moving to?
Hollo - congrats on the teeth! Wish T would break one through soon - she has been teething for ages.
Miss T rolls one way or the other but not often - not as keen as the boys were I'm sure. She is a pretty content and relaxed little chick most of the time (except when teething).
JB - can safely call it teething when baby chomps, drools, and looks distressed/cries etc. Also can have red cheeks, amonia smell to urine, runny nose, rash. Miss T started chewing her own fingers at 8 weeks accompanied by swollen gums, distress, drool etc. Couldnt use teethers at that point.
