Hi Reborn, I've just started Lara in cloth but still use disposables for night time and for when we're out and about. She is still in Huggies Crawler size but as soon as she is finished this box that we're using she is going up to the Toddler size. Walker is the size after Toddler isn't it?
Hey reborn, I hve got Bec in the Aldi nappies...they are 7kgs to 16kgs...they are pretty roomy but the next size down is way too small. I they are the larg/toddler size. So nope dont think he is a freak! Hows the pg going?
We are having a crap time. Becs been awake and grizzly most nights. Her top teeth are just joyous! One is through the other looks close. I officially hate teething.
Hello...has been a long time between visits...and I stopped getting the emails so haven't had time to keep up with everyone, just trying to keep up with my two DD.
Willow has two bottom teeth (since about 6mths), top 2 are just about there, is not quite crawling yet but can get from one side of the room to the other in no time flat with a bit of commando action. Still waking through the night for feeds...thought Miss C was late when she didn't sleep through until 6mths now just wishing Miss W would. But she does settle straight back down after a feed. Generally goes to bed around 6.30 and up in the morning at 6.30. Miss C usually comes in anytime from 4.30am and if its a good morning she'll just go back to sleep in our bed. Luckily I can survive on minimal sleep.
Loving her solids, especially mild Indian (!) pureed and served with whole rice grains. Also loves spiral pasta with some bolognaise which she just shovels into her mouth like no tomorrow. Still not keen on the bottle (even EBM) so no sleep throughs for me yet (even if I could convince DH to get up !) But it has meant no AF yet which I'm happy about.
On a sadder note, I lost my 2 beautiful labradors last week. Both were getting on in age, but I hadn't expected them to go just yet. My girl went very suddenly (vet only gave her hours to go) and my old boy had been struggling for a while and medications weren't helping so had to make a very difficult decision to let him go to Rainbow Bridge with his mate. Miss C has asked a few times where they are and i have just said that they are sleeping - she seems to be satisfied with that explanation, don't think she is quite at the stage of grasping the situation yet so feel it better not to say too much.
On the topic of car seats. I moved Miss W to forward facing a couple of weeks ago - she loves being able to see what is going on. She had been trying to sit up whenever I put her in the rear facing seat for a while.
Hope everyone and their bubs are well, those that have been crook/teething etc I hope all is getting better.
Bella is finally over her Broncialitis but still has a nasty cough but back to her happy giggling self!!
She has just cut both her top teeth so now has 4!! yay.
Still sleeping 6.30 till 6.30 and then 3 sleeps during the day. Loves sitting up and can do it alone. Not trying to crawl as still hates tummy time but can hold her self up on the couch standing so I have a feeling that she is going to bypass crawling and go straight to walking!!
Loves her solids but still hates lumps! Loves toast with veg mite for breaky tho!
Anyway work day tomorrow (well 6 hrs anyway!) so off to bed!
Hope eveyone is well!!
Oh and we are about to turn Bellas car seat around too as she is to long for it and needs the leg room! She is 76cms!! Also we are in toddle nappies too.. she is nearly 12 kgs so we need them!!
Wow Kate shes growing nicely. Am glad shes better. Sounds like she will give the crawling a miss. Have fun at work!
Jo sounds like Willow is doing well too. Good to hear from you. Sorryto hear about your dogs.
Us- we have had night after night after night of crud sleep. Becs top teeth have cut but now she has a cold. Shes tossing and turning all the time and grizzling. At least shes not having several feeds over night like over the weekend! Shes been sleeping with us coz I cant settle her. Shes also been waking dd1 up too coz shes been crying soo much. Needless to say I am very tired. Anyway, dd1 is stirring. I hope she will leep longer. Shes so grizzly at night as she no longer has day sleeps. Bec is stuggling to have 2 day sleeps and when she does they are no longer than an hour. I just figure I got kids who dont sleep well.
Jo - Great to hear from you. Willow sounds great. Hopefully she'll get used to a bottle soon so you have have a break for some feeds. You're lucky no AF though. I am really sorry about your dogs. My dog that I had had for 14 years died last year. I haven't turned Lara's car seat around yet but thinking I need to very soon. She is getting too long rear ward facing and also getting a bit heavy for me to lift in and out.
Kate - So glad that Bella is better. It is amazing how some kids walk without doing crawling first.
Melissa - You poor thing, you must be exhausted. Hopefully your girls will get into some sort of good sleeping routine for you soon. Hope Bec gets over her cold soon.
to everyone else.
Well Lara is crawling like a crazy around the house and is now pulling herself up into the standing position, she is doing it all the time. I really need to drop her cot base on the bottom level otherwise I am scared she'll fall out of the cot when she is standing and looking over the edge. She still only has her two bottom teeth, which she has had since 6 months but when I lift her top lip up I can see 3 top teeth almost breaking through the gum so anytime now they'll be through.
We've been going well, Sienna has actually slept thru the odd night which has been a lovely change.
She's crawling everywhere and is an absolute menace getting into everything - we really haven't gotten around to childproofing stuff, we have no stairs etc, but do need to get some cupboard locks and power point protectors. But most of all we need a playpen!!!
She's pulling herself up on everything now to, so she's standing up in the cot, up against the lounge, up against the coffee table etc etc. She's had a few tumbles, but it's all part of learning so she'll survive!
I have my pre-entry interview for Tresillia on Monday so fingers crossed!!
Sorry no personals girls, hope you've all been doing well xx
Just a quick one from me.....Bec is crawling properly and is pulling to stand. Found her in the bathroom standing at the bath, but fell...luckily my foot was there to break the fall coz she would have smacked her head on the tiles!
Am going...the AMP logo that BB has for advertizing is really giving me a headache.... hope youre all well
Melissa - I looked for you on Facebook but there's quite a few peeps with your name and I didn't want to send a friend request to a random *wink*
Wow, that was lucky that you saved Bec's little noggin.
Geez, they're a menace now they're pulling themselves up aren't they?? We've got a big rubber alphabet mat which softens the blow somewhat when Sienna loses her grip off the lounges, but I reckon she'll be walking soon which will be a whole new kettle of fish to deal with.
I'm on the hunt for a playpen - any recommendations?
I had my pre-entry interview for Tresillia yesterday and we're in on the 17th Sept - only four weeks to go. As I mentioned earlier, I don't have massively high hopes, but it certainly can't hurt, and it will be great for Sienna to have a thorough checkup and to get some guidance on meal sizes etc.
Sienna has actually been sleeping much better lately, we've had a few nights where she's slept through, and only a couple of rotten nights when she's ended up in our bed (and I've ended up on the lounge *rolleyes* ) so I'm incredibly grateful for that!!
That's about it for us...we start excavation works for our new house very soon - woo hoo!!
