Hiya everyone,

Not much going on here, so i will just do an update on Abbkins..

Sleeping- HELP! I did the most stupid thing. When she was sick a while back she got useto being put to sleep in our bed with me cuddling her.... still doing that but now that shes so mobile im worried she will fall out of my bed. When i put her in the cot when she is awake she just carries on and works herself up. Ive tried the whole ignore her and she will go to sleep but that doesn't work for us. Any ideas on what i can do would be great.

At night time we put her to bed in our bed then move her into the cot and she sleeps there all night, till about 6 when she calls out for us then she gets in a snuggles with me till about 8-9 (shes been doing this FOREVER!! It really sweet. she zonks back to sleep as soon as she hits out bed, then she will slowly wake up smiling, giggling and having a chat with me then we get up for breakfast!) So yes, need to find a way for her to go to bed in her cot and not our bed!!

Eating- on to more solid foods. Eats rusks like they are lollies! And so fast too. Ill give her one and then 2 mins later its half gone. She likes both the vegie and plain ones and we go thru at least a pac a week. (is that too much?) not that she always eats all of them. there are half eaten rusks everywhere. Lol its funny i find them in all sorts of places. Also wanting to give her more finger foods but for some reason she wont touch food (except for the rusks) ive tried to get her to hold watermelon and banana when im feeding her that but she just will not do it. Mum says its high time to introduce toast but im too chicken she will choke.

What real foods is everyone else giving their babies?

Teeth- well we are teething again. OMG at the poos! I dont remember her pooing 3 times a day and them being so stinky and even so sloppy last time!! She has the bottom middle 2, but now shes getting one either side of them... no top teeth in sight. These new teeth are about to break thru very soon. Shes been ok with it, woken up a few times but never been really serious about it so its been good so far.

Crawling- nope! not going to happen. If we put her on her tummy she will look like shes gonna do something amazing (ie crawl!!) and then she will just flip over. She will roll to her tummy when we are playing on the bed tho due to her fascination with my head head. Oh well...

Her sitting is perfect, dont need to use pillows anymore, tho we do when she is a bit tired.

Cute stuff- she loves playing peak a boo, she KISSES!! i mean really kisses!!! I say "kiss for mummy" and she leans in and opens her mouth so wide and plants one on me! and then starts bouncing up and down like a crazy girl making all sorts of noises... joining in on me going crazy "yay, clever girl" kinda stuff. Sometimes its so funny tho, she will lean in to kiss me, but stop just short and then start the 'celebration' haha shes so eager for the tickle and carry on we do after each kiss. Now she will kiss her nans, poppa (as long as he isnt wearing his apparently scary glasses, and her aunties, oh and of course her daddy.
also, shes blowing raspberries, blowing her cheeks up and poking her little tongue out and wiggling it form side to side. just too cute!

So i think thats about it really... shes growing nicely. Into 00-0 clothes. Shes about 8.5kg. Oh her hair is just starting to grow now too. Very fluffy!!

Hope everyone else is going good and the babies are growing up big and strong... do you all realise its such a short while till we are talking about 1st birthday plans? I cant stop thinking about this. Time is honestly going too quick.

Another question... i see like me Liz is TTC next year, how is everyone else feeling about having another bub? hehehe
