Babies Born March 1st - 15th 2008 #3

Hey all.

Been busy the last couple day's & now I'm paying for it trying to keep up with all your posts!

Danni - Don't worry. She'll roll when she's ready. My girls didn't til they were 4 months or more. That's the normal age. Jesse hasn't done it since. He's tried, but isn't too worried.
I wanna get a jolly jumper for Jesse. He's sick of sitting & being on his back. Had both the girls in one at around 3 months for the same reason. They are recommended for over 6 months, but I never had any probs. I think that's more for bub's who are a bit slower with head control & stuff.
We give Jesse little tastes of things all the time, but you can't start solids til they are 4 months. No earlier. They can't digest it properly yet. 6 months is recommended, but other than showing interest in food they have a toungue reflex that pushes food out of their mouths. Once this is gone they are ready. As you said, every baby is different. Between 4 & 6 months.

Shell - I'm glad the ff is going well for you. Enjoy the freedom. I feel like I can't leave Jesse for 5 minutes in case he wants a feed! He's been biting alot the last 2 days & I think he's teething. I keep threatening him with the bottle!! He just grins & keeps on biting. Little bugger!!

India - It's freezing here too. Yesterday was real windy & cold. Must've been snowing somewhere. Hope DH gets the job.

All girls - I know what you mean. I think the more kids you have, the faster the baby grows up. Who wants to be a baby when you can be up running around with the big kids!?!
Jesse is ticklish everywhere. Under his arms, under his chin, the little roll above his knee, his feet!

Prama - people can be so insensitive can't they. Especially men! My SIL is copping the same. She's Mauri & every time ahe goes back to NZ all the relo's go on at her - 'what happened to you, you were the skinny one'! How cruel. I think she might have a thyroid prob though. I'm trying to get her to get checked out, but you know what mum's are like. Only go to the doc if the kids need to go.
I have one worse than the one you are talking about with 2 kids.
There's an old girl back home who sat one of my mates down when she was 7 months pg & told her labour doesn't hurt!!!
'If you do what the midwifes say, it won't hurt! All these people who say it does just are sooks!'
I nearly wacked her!!!
She's NEVER had kids.

Anyway. I think I'm caught up now. Oh by the way, pregnancy brain is one thing, baby brain is SO much worse! I left my kitchen tap running the other day & sat down to feed Jesse. Smart! I'm always forgetting stuff. I am slowly getting over it now though.

Forgot - I posted some photo's
