hi ladies.. Hope the Baptism goes well Sunday Kristale.
Thanks for all the well wishes for my friend she is doing well. Baby girl "LAcey Maree"is still in special care but doing well. My friend unfortunately had bp trouble after the birthand has had a bit of a rough trot, has only seen Lacey 4 times since she was born. She is now on the mend and hoipefully will be able to try and establish BF so Lacey come be in with her. I saw bub today and she has the most hair I have ever seen!!!
Klee- I don't believe u can give bubs too much attention, they are still at an age where they think things disappear(never to come back) if they can't see them so Jo is probably just reacting to that. I find Ava likes to see me as much as possible and I try to accomodate but have to admit sometimes she has to cry.
HUgs to all xxoxo
Great to hear from you Klee! I agree with Shez, there's no such thing as too much attention. I have found that when I put Emily in bed, and walk out, she's crying. She wants me to stand there and hold her hand while she goes to sleep. She's very much a mummy's girl.
I think Jo was the same weight as Emily at 4 months.
shez - hope your friend recovers quickly, and is able to establish b/f. Lacey Maree is a beautiful name.
Well since I last posted, Emily has been sleeping through again So I reckon the growth spurt might be over with. She's also not feeding as much during the day as she was, thank goodness. With her feeding so much, and my low iron levels, I was feeling very drained.
Lulu - Elena's happy dance sounds tooo cute! Hope you guys have a great holiday next week.
klee - good to see you in here again! Yep, Joshua is getting checked again on the 20th Oct by the CHN and the paed wants to see him on the 14th Nov. Physio will be the go if he is still not pushing himself up. In the meantime we are doing HEAPS of tummy time and I am noticing a very small improvement but compared to other babies his age, he seems a bit behind with it.
I agree on the attention as well. I am sure onlookers think I'm a bit loopey sometimes as I will talk and play games with Joshua when we're out at the shops. I also give him lots of cuddles and attention and I've often wondered the same as you. Other mums don't appear to dote on their bubs in public as much as I do, well that's how it seems to me!
I don't think its possible to give your child too much attention either. I'm always talking to my girls and we have really ridiculous conversations sometimes. Izzy is not really talking yet but her level of comprehension is truly amazing, and I don't think it would be anything like that unless she got the huge amount of attention we give her.
The christening went really well but was so busy. There were lots of people to talk to and thank for the all the wonderful gifts she got. She has so much jewellery for a 4month old and two jewellery boxes to put it in ( so spoilt). I have posted photos on facebook for those of you who are on there. She was really good to even though she did get tired during the ceremony.
Good to hear form you Klee. I agree that you cant give bubs too much attention they learn evrything from us so if we left them alot surely they wouldnt learn as quickly.
I am also one to kiss and talk to Amelie in the shops I pick up all the vegies and show them to her and tell her what they are. People might think I'm wierd but I'm sure she enjoys it.
Im so excited today I had my measurents done at my pram fit class and I have lost 12cm from my chest, 9 waist and smaller bits everywhere else i was just thinking I might stop doing it but I certainly wont now.
That's fantastic weight loss! Good on you. Last month I lost weight everywhere except my boobs, I gained 2cm
Loved the photos of her christening, she looked gorgeous. Glad it was a good day.
I'm always talking to Nina, telling her what we're doing, or what we're buying if we're at the shops. They understand, and take in EVERYTHING. Mostly it's a good thing, but sometimes Nina will pick up on things we've said or done, which I don't want her too!
Have started Emily on solids now. Not what I wanted to do just yet, but she is ready, and wanting it. She only gained 150g in a month, but she's a big baby, so that's not too bad. She is now 7.6kg. I forget how long she is, but she is very long for her age. She's wearing clothes that used to be Nina's, but Nina wore them when she was about 9 months old.
Not much else happening. It's very hot here lately. I've been taking both girls in the pool, and they love it. I introduced Emily to the pool this week, and she starts swimming lessons next week.
So I reckon the growth spurt might be over with. She's also not feeding as much during the day as she was, thank goodness. With her feeding so much, and my low iron levels, I was feeling very drained.
