Sassy - I remember 1 of my friends babies who was ff had issues when they changed to the 2nd step (i think she went back to the 1st step for a little longer then), so maybe it is the formula. Isn't it frustrating trying to work out the cause of everything when they can't tell you what the problem is.
NaNa - Good on you for remembering to believe in yourself. It is so wrong when people like to try to enforce their opinions on you, I have an open mind, I'm happy to listen to a different point of view, but as soon as people get pushy and say this is the only way is should be done - I start to steam inside (I end up stewing on it as I'm not one to argue back).
Nikki - Hope your run of illnesses have come to an end - you've sure had your fair share. On the christmas tree going up on the 1st December- I use to say the same thing to my mum when I lived at home (except my rule was that it was bad luck to put it up any other day then the 1st, no later either)- funny how that all changed when I moved out and had to put the christmas tree up all by myself, it tends to get delayed a fair bit now (DH just sits there and watches usually).
This year as we don't have much room in our lounge room for Cameron's to play blanket as well as christmas tree, I think I will delay putting it up til mid December, therefore only cutting out Cameron's play area for only 2 weeks or so.
Mis - Seth's not the only lazy one - Cameron doesn't seem to interested in crawling either. Cameron also was sounding like he was saying hello about 2 months ago - did it for a few weeks - but hasn't said it for about a month now, so not sure if that was a first word or not. Last week he was trying 'b' words, possibly trying to say boo (from peek-a-boo game we play) or boy (we say good and cheeky boy alot). I agree with Deancey - you seem to be a bit of a superwoman on all your challenges.
Abb - Its frustrating when they do those short sleeps when you least expect it, but then it's hard to complain when they sleep well during the night (most of the time anyway).
Deancey - Yay on your healthy Liam in the 75%, has he always followed that path or was there a good growth spurt? Cam's always followed the 25 percentile, but still healthy though.
Jess - Glad the night wake ups are on the way of being sorted out. I was wondering if its ok just to let them cry sometimes during the night, but then its hard to try to ignore, especially when DH needs his sleep for work. I've given in a couple of times and fed (like at 4am this morning). And how scary. I can understand how frightened you would have been.
That kinda happened to us a few years ago - except luckily DH was home. It was about midnight, when we heard our gate move and saw the sensor light go on - went to look out peep hole, light turned off, so DH opened the door. All of a sudden somebody was moving around on our front verandah, DH tried to close the door but our poor dog got in the way, so he was squishing her - she was yelping (she was ok though). I was up the hall, with the phone in my hand calling the police, because DH finally had the door closed over, but this person kept yelling 'let me in, let me in'. Eventually this person was convinced to go away, it turned out he was very high and had gotten lost and confused our house with a friends, but geez that was a very scary night (I think DH almost ***** himself). But what was very strange and made it scarier, was that only about a week before hand, I'd answered the phone about 2am, with a man also saying 'let me in'. I thought it was DH (thought he might have slept walked outside, as he has done something similar before) - but no he had fallen asleep on the lounge. It must have been a wrong number, but for those 2 events to happen in the 1 week- I was rather scared to go to sleep for a while.
Well Cam's been a strange boy the last few days. He'll be happy, then grumpy, then cheeky, then quite. He has rediscovered his tongue, poking it out and doing raspberriers (almost showering me a few times). Also blowing rasberries on my boob - soo funny. Solids are going well, so far done pumpkin, potato, avocado and banana (I wasn't going to do banana but asked DH what he'd like to give him last Sunday and he chose banana, so didn't want to make him feel left out of food trying experience).
I think I can see a little cut in his gums, can't really see any white though, is this how the teeth thing can work?
Well Cam's woken and ready for a feed.
