Wow, go Isabelle, I have always been told they can start coming as early as 3 months but I have never actually heard anyone say it happened to their baby. I do know they can play peek-a-boo sometimes and come up and go back down though, Amelia had that happen a lot. Well, at least you know now there was a good reason she was always sucking on her dresses.
may be this one will go back down other wise she will look like a vampire LOL
Lol Heidi yep my little boy loves eating his bibs and singlets etc., not to mention his hands!! I guess that could be partly because he doesn't have a dummy to otherwise suck, I wonder. Wow... your little girl is starting to get teeth!!! I'm just waiting on the day I see one on Damian... he loves biting so I wonder if that's the start. What signs did your DD show?
Kazzo... Gosh I'm still getting used to your new username lol. My goodness I totally agree with you... I cannot BELIEVE how fast they are all growing up & how quickly time is going! I feel like I'm in fast forward too... when you find that pause button let me know LOL it's crazy!
Sounds like your Christening plans are going along well now. We just had something really small and simple for Damian, just Godparents and close family and had a high tea type thing back at home afterwards. It was low key but that's exactly how we wanted it, especially as he was only 2 months old at that point. Hope Macey's goes well.
Eng WOW your little man is eating already! Good on him for knowing how to already :) Hope your DD has settled in with her little brother. I hear the first year can be a challenge for toddlers with new siblings..
It is silly but sometime i forget you ladies are here lol
Sounds like things are going ok for everyone - no major probs anyway so thats good. Dylan is doing well i think he is starting to really teeth now, the last couple of days he has been dribbling heaps and chewing on his fingers constantly and his little chew thing. After he started to roll he just stoped but yesterday he started again and now he rolled back on to his back from his tummy. He is constantly chatting away to his toys its pretty cute.
It definately adds up when you have a family function, we are having about 50 to our christening and that is just close family - no anties and uncles just imediate family.
I got my tattoo on my wrist (palm side) it wasnt too bad really it did sting a little when he was working on the vein but other than that totally bareable, i just got dylan 12-11-10 in script nice and simple.
Better get going i have a dentist appointment have had a tooth ache for days - the bonjella really does work lol
have a great day
morning,
Danni, yeah I know right.. 4 months! I have only slowly started giving him solids, I dont want to rush it, but he looks like he is eating when we eat. I started DD at 5 months, but only on baby rice and then slowly added fruit to her diet. Im going to do the same thing.
Kazzo, I love it too.. hehe only one little thing I noticed.. Ireni has brown eyes and the avi shows blue.. Good to hear Macey's flattened head has improved, Panayiotis has too but the dr only said something about it yesterday. I have to keep an eye on it again. Your baptism plans are well on the way.. Good on you!! Im so slack..
My dad is paying for Panayiotis (I know Im very very very lucky - Its tradition when a child is name after you, you pay for the meal) and he wants to go to the same place with had DD. But I dont want to go there, and then he said that what ever money we save we get to put it towards our solar system. So DH caved.. Im still fence sitting.. I think Im more worried about what people will say.. anyways..
heidi, Congratulations Isabelle on her first tooth!!! If she is in a lot of pain you can try SM33 teething.. Its fantastic! I use to use bonjella but after a some report I heard in England I went off it.
tammara, a friend of ours got his kids names done down the inside of both his arms. Whens your christening?
afm, well Panayiotis had his 4 month injections yesterday.. Poor bub.. He did well and this time I didnt see his face which helped me. He is a little porkie.. 7.4kgs and 67cm long (I dont think he did that right) Im off to the peds on the 10.03.11 for a check up on his mole things. Dr didnt want to alarm me but said he was starting to worry but he didnt know what they were. He started with 4 and now he has over 20! Im really trying to fight googling..
My anxiety has returned, I can feel it but Im trying to take control of it. I have been really stressed about taking both kids out at the same time. I know I just have to relax and take small steps. Im going to go this afternoon when DH gets home so we can get some groceries. Tomorrow I have an afternoon tea at one of our cousins house so I will be flying solo with both kids. Lucky all the ladies in DH family will be there.
Ireni went to bed for the first time since Panayiotis was born at 7:30!!! I ended up in bed at 9:30!!! Very happy with that.. Im going to make her a reward chart so she can keep up with her good work! Even at home during the day she has improved! Please oh :pray: please let this be the start of my daughter returning back to her beautiful little self!!
Ok I better run dishes to do, clothes to fold, and the list goes on and on and on and on!!!
Have a great weekend!!
Just a quicky from me, P rolled today for the first time! And lucky me missed it! I was making I's lunch.
After i got over that my son has been rejecting my boobs all day. Either my milk is drying up or he want ff. Really hard day for me, missed an important milestone and got rejected all in one. DH keeps saying no big deal and that upsets me more.
Yay, for P, Boo for yu missing it. I hope he puts on lots of rolling shows for you to make up for it. It is a big deal, Amelia self weaned at 8 months and I remember how rejected I felt.
Had a rough night last night, Amelia was sick again and threw up all over me at about 3am. Lovely. That woke Macey up so I fed her. Everyone back to sleep. just before 6, amelia wakes up again, throws up, wakes macey up. Me and Macey then relocated to the loungeroom. I am now a wee bit tired and DH has gone out for the day to Soundwave. Oh well I should not really complain. I have had it very sweet so far.
Macey is trying her hardest to giggle but shocks herself everytime she makes a noise. It is funny to watch. And as much as she loves her big sister, she really loves the 2 days that Amelia is at daycare. She can have quiet sleeps and lots of mummy time. Oh and we are now at the start of anything in her hands is straight in the mouth. When I burp her she tries so hard to get my hand up to her mouth and then gets cranky when she can't. Funny.
Morning,
Kazzo, hope the Amelia is feeling better and you have all gotten a little sleep. P does the same thing when he goes to laugh, now he does this pig sound.. Its so funny.. Thank you for the advise/support. He hasnt really rolled since, well not fully so I have been watching and waiting again. I was feeling really rejected and started to think my body was failing me again. (felt like that while ttc)
Yesterday I really pushed bf, I kept feeding him when he woke and before he slept. I thought if it was a supply problem it might increase.. and yep it has.. He also was lauching on better. I ate heaps of almonds yesterday and the day before to help improve the quality. IM going to make those cookies Kelly has listed in bf support.
Hope you are all well..
Hello Ladies
Hope you are all doing well. We are keeping very busy as we started playgroup on Mondays and Wednesdays I go to Parramtta and see a movie with some mothers from mothers group, Thursdays I go for a walk around the park with the ladies..I wont have time to go back to work LOL Have been into the office 3 times in the last 4 weeks, not to work just drop a laptop off to be fixed and afternoon tea, but it I found it has helped to remind me that I do need to go back to work.
anyone else having really bad af cramps? This is worse than contractions 4 minutes apart! I can hardly walk and look like a blow fish!
Eng - that sucks that you missed it but im sure he will start to show off for you soon. Glad to hear he is feeding again :)
Hope amelia is feeling better now and that you have caught up on your sleep. Dylan makes a little goat noise its pretty funny, he gets into full giggles its funny. When he was in the bath yesterday he did a big kick and splashed water - that scared him lol
I have started giving dylan some baby food at night time it seems to help him sleep better - i have found that if i feed him with a syringe thing rather than a spoon its much less mess and he keeps more in his mouth.
His christening is this sunday so i need to finalise all the arrangements and get ready to make food.
Hello Mummies!!
Very exciting news over here... My little Damian rolled over yesterday! He went from tummy to back - and startled himself lol so cute. I was soo excited I went to grab the video camera but of course my little boy didn't do it again lol (he seems to get camera shy in general). The first time he rolled I missed it because I turned around to sit down and when I looked back at him I was like OMG what's he doing on his back LOL surprise alright! Then luckily he did it so I saw it :) He did it today as well, just to show Daddy I think because he hasn't managed any other time. What a milestone :) And we are getting really cute short sharp giggles out of him here and there... sooo adorable! There's nothing more beautiful than a baby's laugh I think :P
Tammara - I am going through the same thing with Damian! He's constantly munching at absolutely everything and sometimes he gets so frustrated lol it's funny to watch. It is quite intense so I think he has got to be teething too! All the best for the Christening on Sunday!
Heidi - Wow, you do sound very busy! Parramatta hey... I only live like 20 mins away from there! Where's your Mothers Group at? I really haven't delved into any social things with Mums and Bubs and that's really something I should do now Damian has started having lots of non crying time during the day!
Kazzo - I hope Amelia is feeling better now. And yes I know exactly what you mean about the everything in mouth scenario - lol that's been my little guy for a while now!
Eng - I was wondering how your little man was going with the mole issue. I hope it all checks out OK - keep us updated. I would be so worried too! And yes he's a healthy boy - same with Damian, he's about 7.5kg!! LOL getting heavy aren't they!? And no I can't say I relate to your cramps... I haven't had a period in over a year now (thanks to full time bf too) - THANK GOD for that! Not looking forward to the return that's for sure, I used to cramp really bad.
Have a good night all of you! xx
Yay for Damian rolling - Every time i try and video Dylan on the phone to send to daddy he stops because the light comes on - he is amazed by lights. I thought Dylan had a tooth through today i got excited until i realised it was a bit of white fluff lol I got him weighed and measured today and he is 7.6kg and 63 cm he is totally in proportion with all measurements. The health nurse said he is very strong in the legs and he he responded very well to her by following her light and the little toy so all in all a good result to know i must be doing something right to have a nice happy healthy boy.
Eng - ive actually not had any bad cramping with af fingers crossed i dont. I just started today will see.
This day last year I got my BFP. It was a little bit of a surprise because when I tested at 14 dpo I got a BFN. So I waited for AF, she still had not arrived 5 days later so I used my spare test and Hey Presto!
One year on and how happy am I.
Goodluck with the christening on Sunday Tammara.
Danni, Yay for Damien, I hope you get to catch him rolling soon. I fulltime BF Amelia and got AF back after 4 months so don't think that witch will stay away just because you are she may just rear her ugly head at anytime:rolleyes: For some reason I thought you were in Melb. Are your plans of moving to QLD still happening?
Eng, Boo to bad cramps. Like Danni said, how did you go with P moles?
Heidi, Sounds like your a busy mum.
AFM, When Amelia was Macey's age now we were driving route 66 across America in a brand new Mustang convertible. I don't think Macey would handle it the way Amelia did if we were to do it with her. She is a very reserved baby and does not like strangers at all and in the USA people go crazy for babies.
Macey has not rolled yet but she does a great backstroke across the floor, she pushes so hard with her legs.
Well I have to get my but into gear and get organising this baptism. I should start by turning this computer off. (yeah right)
I got Macey's ears pierced today. She was so brave and funny. She cried for about 2 minutes but everytime the girl that did it looked at her she started crying again. It also took her about an hour before she would smile at me but after a good sleep she woke up happy. I tell you, it is really hard to find somewhere to do babies ears and then to feel confident in them. One place I walked out of because they just seemed very unprofessional.
Amelia was the same age when we did hers (in Vegas) and we never had any issues so that is why I wanted to get it done early again. She looks so cute.
Hi Ladies
We are car less at the moment..the jeep has a failed start motor and looks like a custom rebuild of the part is required as we can't source the part. There is something weird with my jeep and getting parts is always an issue - once we had to wait 2 months.
Danni we have informal gatherings at the moment, movies on Wednesdays and walking on Thursdays, a few of us are going to start swimming with our bubs as we are all confident in water and dont really feel like paying for lessons at this age. We are also looking at starting a playgroup. We use a closed facebook group to talk about things and arrange outings. Send me a PM if you are interested (yours is full). I am Heidi Ploeg on facebook just let me know where I know you from as I am starting to get stricter with accepting friend invites.
Kazzo my SIL had a lot of problems finding some where to do my neice I think we will wait a bit longer before we get Isabelle's done, they do look so cute though.
I was thinking this week how shocked I was last year to discover I was pregnant and how blessed we are to have such a wonderfull baby!
Tamara how exciting is the rolling over! Hope he has done some more rolls for you..from mothers group we worked out the smaller babies where all rolling over, but the larger babies where sitting up with better head control.
Tonight we are getting taken to the drive-in which will be fun and tommorrow my parents are taking us to the beach (my brother will be there as well)
Good afternoon all,
Heidi, my stomach was in knots just before I got Macey's ears done but the lady that did it was so great and confident that I felt good once I was sitting in the chair with Macey. It makes all the difference to have someone like that. How did Isabelle's teething go, did it stay out, anymore come through? I hope your car gets fixed soon, I would go crazy without a car, but where I live you need a car to get anywhere.
Tammara, how did the christening go?
Okay I am about to have a little vent now. I have just about had it with my Aunty (mothers side). I understand that people are busy but *** you can make time for family sometimes. Every occasion we have I invite her and family and every time there is some excuse. In the last 3 years I have seen her 3 times. When Amelia was born, Amelia's 1st Christmas and this Christmas. I am always ringing to catch up but she always has something on. Then I get a message saying she knows she is a slack Aunty and she will try harder but never does. I know her and my mum don't get on very well but my mum lives 10 hours away, so it is not like would ever run into each other here. So as of today I am done like a dogs dinner with it all. Thankgoodness for my family on my dad's side. They are the absolute bestest.
Well I have a lot to do this week. My mum will be here on Wednesday so she will be able to keep Amelia occupied for me so I can get things organised.
Macey must be about to have a growth spurt, she is feeing a bit more and sleeping so much more. She is sleeping about 11hours at night now and having atleast 2 hour sleeps during the day. She was 6.1kg last week so I will weigh her on Friday and see what gain there has been. I think I will be into 00 soon. I still have 000 things she has not worn so I better put them on her this week so they get atleast one wear.
Isabelle has one fang on the bottom right side LOL. I think another one is coming through as her checks are very red, eye is gunky and rubbing ears again and chewing on hands same as last time.
I am struggling with the sizes some things she is still in 000 like today she has a 000 t-shirt a 00 skirt and 000-00 tights but last night she was in a size 0 bonds grow suit.
I some how let go of the pram this morning and it rolled down the front 3 steps..OMG it was such a scarry slow motion moment! She has a little mark on her head but is pretty happy and not concussed as has only had 2 short sleeps this afternoon.
Tommorrow I am heading into Sydney which will be our first trip into the city and first train ride...pretty excited we are having lunch with a good friend.
