Hi girls! Been a while since I have posted... My little cherub is just over 7 months now and we visited the health care nurse today for a checkup. She's over 9.5 kgs and is 71 cms tall (head 44 cms) so in the 95-97th percentile. She's having 5 BF's a day and 3 solids plus some 'snacks' of a rusk/cruskitt or apple/pear in a 'sock' thingy.

Kaitlyn isn't showing any signs of crawling yet and like Bella, she doesn't like being on her tummy at all & rolls onto her back as soon as I put her on her belly...hehe... My DS was the same so I'm guessing I'll have another 9 month (ish) crawler. She's got 2 teeth so far and says "mum mum mum" and "bub bub bub" but that's it...no "dad dad dad" here. She's also sitting up really well and if I trusted her not to fling herself backwards as she does very occassionally now, I wouldn't keep pillows behind her anymore.

Sleep hasn't been an easy thing to come by lately...DD has had a rough patch, as has DS because of sickness. Kaitlyn is doing 3 sleeps of about 20 minutes most days...she settles without a problem on her own but just can't resettle when she goes to the next stage. Does anyone else have that problem?

We've had a nasty vomit bug in our house this week so it hasn't been much fun but I think we've pulled through it now. It's hard being couped up inside for so long...especially with the rain & freezing wind.

I hope all the sick bubbas are on the mend and I hope you're all getting some sleep...
