Babies Born October 1st-15th 2008 #6

Tanya - she looks really strong and her rolling is very deliberate as in - she decides and goes - my DD was like that and crawling early, and the littler babies in my MG with DS1 were all getting around by 8 months! - yet my boys were/are still spinning themselves around the floor clockwise on their sides like breakdancers at that age Does she sit up very well?? Zander has got the idea of holding his ankles so stabilise a bit so he's getting there - if centred to start he can do 20 seconds - but then he gets all excited and wobbly lol.

The littler ones often find it easier too cos they aren't carrying rolls/weight.

I bought Zander a new ball today cos our others are outside and feral for babies - oh dear, the simple things are the best hey! He loves it!

thanks girls, sometimes you just need someone to say that it is ok that everything sucks!! I still feel pretty crappy but Bethany has improved, I gave her some panadol she had a big sleep and has been all smiles and giggles ever since, pretty cute. I hope she figures out how to roll over soon though she can go back to front but not the other way and she gets frustrated and well you can fill in the rest, I spend half my life flipping her over like a burger.
Gee aren't I full of complaints today!!

Man i wish Mia would STOP rolling. im sick of chasing her and putting her back in the centre of the floor, she nearly ended up under the TV unit today! She is getting quite full on already.. *sigh* she pushes off on her feet when on her tummy so yeh she does a 360 and doesnt move much forward and then starts growling. lol

harum... think I've been lurking... keep reading and meaning to post then realised I haven't posted!

Hollye - lol that's too funny re Mia growling... I'm kinda picturing Princess Bear now! X can only roll back to front right side... a few of the kids in my MG can grab their feet & suck their toes... X can't get near 'em... too much blubber in the way methinks. We're wondering how long it'll be until he starts some new rolling moves.

Amy_o - aaww I totally understand re needing ppl to say it's ok everything sucks. We have an official name for it in my household, it's called a "whinge session" and you both just have to take it in turns to complain about stuff. Basically "it sucks that....". Inevitably you descend complaining about the ridiculous and then you start to feel better weirdly enough. Well it works for me anyways...

SamiH - i want to buy X a new ball now.. mebbe I should have been seeing confessions of a shopaholic hey!?!? We've just realised we've got Gold Class tickets we were given that have to be used by the end of next month... so I'm gonna see if I can work something out with MIL... and if there's anything decent showing!!!

Katones...awww the sound of that poo, mebbe I'lll delay solids longer lol!

Kuraiza - eep 8 months is an awful long time with no decent sleep! You poor thing! I'm so glad you had a decent night after all this time.

Not much new here. Just did my yoga & balance exercises on the wii fit so feeling mighty noble. X is occasionally a bit teething grizzly but mostly ok... I'm wondering when his weight gain will slow down... weighed him at home... 9.1kg occasionally worry that I'm over-feeding him. When does the gain usually start to slow?

.. I'm wondering when his weight gain will slow down... weighed him at home... 9.1kg occasionally worry that I'm over-feeding him. When does the gain usually start to slow?

NOW - lol - he is huge belfie - I just checked Riley's book cos he was a big boy - at 6 months he was 9.15kg - and he was b/f exclusively until 6 months too. Riley was also tall too so whilst he looked rolly polly - he didnt look overly chubber IYKWIM.

Movies tomorrow - trying desperately to express - and I suck at it - got 100 mls in the freezer - and just got 60 so hopefully i can get another 50 tomorrow morning so he can justhave the fridge stuff - never tried him on defrosted EBM - how naive does that sound with my third kid - never used defrosted EBM

Gotta finish lunch packing, poor Zander will only get 30 mins before getting pulled out of the cot again - I am getting a b/f necklace on Monday Tanya to try and help Z with his feeding, I am a bit over it at the moment - just only on for a couple of minutes ....

wow belfie! he is a chubber there weight is meant to slow down abit around 4-5 months. Dont stress about it. It will all come off once he becomes mobile.
