I think i know why my FB link wasnt working... It was set to private so no one could look me up.... I'm hoping now i have fixed it...
Abb... i guess that she's still on the average weight its all good... Just expected her to be a bit bigger...
LMK- Sure add me to FB if you like... Glad to hear things are getting better with your health... Little miss is starting this comando style crawl thing... LOL so funny
NaNa- Good luck tomorrow with the pead. Thanks for the help... I'm hoping my FB link works now... Fingers crossed
Wow jess thats exciting that she is trying to comando crawl for you any way i want abbie to wait PLEASE lol!!! And yes your link does work they both do :-)
Facebook all done so i will try and put a link onto my page but not sure how i will go lol
Wow, once again there has been a lot of posts, will do my best to do personals but not sure how much time I got, so a big to everyone I may not get to.
First I will start with an 'all about me/us'....
Well it's another rather hot and humid day today, there's definately another storm brewing. Wasn't sure how Cameron would go last night with the thunder/lightning storm we had, but thankfully he seemed to sleep right ok, even with the house shaking with the thunder rumbles. I wish I could've slept right through, still have trouble sleeping with this cough, and I tend to get a little nervy with the thunder and lightning, especially when its right outside my window.
Cameron probably slept well because of the exhausting day he had. First of all we (Cameron, Mum and I) popped into a childcare centre I am considering putting him next year. My cousin's son goes there, so we also had to say hello to him too. It's a nice and relaxed centre, so hopefully we can get into that one, though we only want Thursdays and Fridays for dropouts I think. After we left the centre, when I put Cameron into the car he really wanted to sit up (still backwards facing), the whole way to out lunch venue he sat up - eventually as pulling into the driveway of the venue his head dropped - he was asleep by the time I parked. Thankfully he continued to sleep when transferred to pram and slept while we ate. After this we went to the shops where he stayed awake, til we were on our way home, where he nodded off for about 20mins. He was wide awake once home (about 4pm), so decided to try him on avocado - he seemed to enjoy it. Then gave him a bf about 30mins after, and tried to put him to bed, but it was rather hot and humid (with the storm brewing), he just wouldn't sleep. DH came home just as I think Cameron was about to give in, but because I think he heard daddy, he started crying again. DH went in to try to settle him (it was just after 6 by now), and DH didn't do anything, just stood by his cot (not even a light on) and Cameron started laughing. So cheeky. He couldn't settle him either, so we kept him up for 20mins, but once again wouldn't settle after that, just cried. Ended up giving him a cool bath (as he was all hot and sweaty) and an ebm bottle and he easily slipped into bed. He woke at 4 this morning, where it took 3 times to resettle (pick up, rewrap bottom half and turn musical seahorse on), and he slept til 6.30ish (mum stayed the night, so helped look after him til he needed a feed at 7.30 where he came and gave me a kiss to wake up).
Jess - Sorry to tell you (unless it's just me then) but it appears your facebook link still goes to my own home page. With the weight gain, at first I thought it seemed a little low, as Cameon seems to put on about 1500gms every 2 months and he is on the smaller scale, but I have not much of an idea of how much they are suppose to put on now, as Abb mentioned about the weight not being as much now - I didn't know that. Is she following the same percentile? Maybe try to do some weigh ins monthly for a little to keep an eye on it and give peace of mind.
Abb - Sorry to hear you had a crap night. Hopefully it was just the immunisations. Is Hamish 6 months already? Cameron's not 6months til 29th, so will arrange needles the week after (as have heard they don't recommend the needles too early for some reason).
Deancey - Wow on the 3 jars of food, you must have a hungry little boy. Glad they were all well behaved when you were out to lunch. At our lunch yesterday we had some people comment on whether there was actually a baby in our pram (as I had a muslin wrap drapped over the front). I think it brings an extra proud feelin when people say that.
Sassy - How's the porta cot sleeping going? I tried to do this today, as it's soo hot in Cam's room, but he just wouldn't give. The portacot's in the lounge room, so might have to move it into his room for a few tries to adjust him to it. It is so much cooler in the lounge as I can turn the fans or air con on if need be. On Cam's unsettledness, I don't think its because of solids, as only done pumpkin on Sunday and Avocado yesterday. He seems to go through these fazes every now and then. I'm hoping it's just teething, even the childcare centre lady thought he looked like he was teething as he was chomping down on our fingers so much.
NaNa - It would be good to know what the paed thinks about the food quantities. I guess it probably comes down to what your child seems to want, and as they say mother knows best. How's Aadi been today, hopefully been more settled then yesterday and last night. It it is teeth hopefully they just hurry up and show, then give you's a break for a while.
Nikki - Good you can possibly go swimming with the 3 of the children now then, especially with the warm weather we are getting. On the swimming lessons, we have been going, it's been good to learn the basics (especially not having had any experience with children and water), but thinking of cutting the lessons down to fortnightly instead of weekly, as we also have a pool we could do that in for free and we now know how to get in safely and how to teach them to swim to the sides if fallen in.
MisTree - Hope eveything went your way in the custody thing. How long's he got to sign the papers?
I think I covered everyone. Looks like I had a little more time on my hand then expected. Camerons been asleep for over 2 hrs now, think I'll just let him continue to sleep, usually give him another feed by 1.30-2ish, but after yesterdays battle think sleep might be needed to keep a happy baby.
On the car seat question - we haven't changed it around yet. I thought they had to be 8kg first don't they? If that's the case we got another 6-8weeks I think, plus I would like his neck just a little more stronger (even though he has had a rather strong neck from when he was born), I'd rather wait a little longer just in case of an accident.
So funny, Cameron stirred alright. Just went in, and here he is, 1 leg dangling out between the cot rail, over the top of the air wrap thing around his cot, playing with his little teddy bear. He is all smiles. Was able to get the video camera going to capture this funny moment.
NaNa & Nikki- Thanks for the FB add... Nice to put a face to the names now... Have been taking a peek of your beautiful photos while i'm doing some online stuff... WOW... how much have they grown up...
Nikki- Its nice she's trying to commando crawl but i know i'll have to start child proofing the house.... Its scarey... i see so many things and think... Arrrggg that has to go... wish i had the cash to buy some new furniture... soo many things low on the ground...
Bec- Glad to hear things are going well... Its nice to go into the childcare places to have a good sticky... Also i thought the weight gain was also not much but she has still stuck to the same line on the charts... the average one... so the woman said as long as she had doubled her birth weight by 6 months then its all good but just makes me nervous. We have a pead appointment for my DS so might get her check over by him or just ask... Also we've had weird wether here... Raining, humid, cold Stinking hot.... just cant pick it...
Not sure why its going to your home page as NaNa and Nikki havd used the link... are you listed in the Australian Network??? might have to open it up to everyone... I had it locked so i had to add you... should be ok now thou...
I finally got a booking with the speech therapist for DS... So next week we'll have our 1st session... fingers crossed he behaves so we have a proper assesment... Takes him a while to open up... really dredding it,....
Nikki & NaNa - thanks atleast i know mine works now
Bec - Hamish is 6 months on 29th aswell, but for needles the mchn said its 8 weeks from 4 month ones, i was thinking it was too early also but i guess she would know.
NaNa i have decided to buy the kinderkot also, just looking around now for best price, probably need to look in melbourne as we are limited with shops here. We are in Melbourne for 5 days over next weekend so might check them out then.
Abb- I got mine online even tho there is a shop within 1km of me that sells them. I hate the guy that runs it... he's creepy, and that's not a good thing for a baby-goods shop! The kindercot website has suppliers, and a neat video demonstration of how to fold the ruddy thing up again! It's certainly a knack. Aadi's asleep in his again now. I'm in Melbourne, let me know if you need directions to the pram-friendly shoe shops!!
Jess - you dont waste time, do you?? It's amazing how much stuff you can cram into the few minutes a day you have to yourself, isn't it? Which reminds me, I have soooo much stuff to do but can't be bothered...
Aadi is starting to commando crawl too, but backwards!
Bec :OMG: are you trying to make up for lost time? You'll out-babble me and Jess! Glad things are going so well. Look out for them fangs, though!
but seriously, I have soooo much other stuff I need to be doing now! Naughty NaNa...
NaNa- I always have the puter on... I get emails from work sent to my email addy so i need to forward them on. Also a friend of mine and i are starting to make Nappy cakes so i'm busy arranging ribbons and bits and pieces for them... ALWAYS ONLINE... Hehehe... plus i was doing net banking so as soon as i got the add from youi thought i'd check it out... Addi is SOOO cute... As is little Abbie... What a cutie... Loved the fairy dress... DD is still too tiny for the ones i have seen... she doesnt fit in the chirstmas ones either... Its a shame....
Well best be (for now) dinner wont make itself... Sass * Bec let me know how you go with the FB add...
to everyone I may not get to.
