We aren't doing a big party for Ashton. Just immediate family and close friends. Nobody from playgroup/kindy/school etc.
We are the same and have all his b/day presents already thanks to the Target toy sale. We also have Kameron's 6th birthday just 2wks later so if we didn't do it all early money would be getting tight by then.
Love
That's the reason we buy all the presents early because Charlie's b'day is October and Lily's is 2 weeks before Christmas!
Hi Ladies,
Well Tegan, Levi sounds just like Charlie. He is into everything. He crawls so fast and walks along furniture gees i cant even remember the days when he use to just lie there. Oh im sure those were the days hahahaha:lol:
Levi is a big eater too he loves his food. He has just started holding his own bottle this week which is handy i can do stuff now while he is drinking his bottle. He also has a sippy cup with a straw which he has his lunch bottle in it. He also has a water one that just stays on the floor with him and he just crawls up to it and picks it up and drinks when he feels like it.
Levi is about the 11 and a half kgs at the moment but he is tall like DH and not really a chubba bub.
OMG i havent even started thinking about the 1st birthday yet....think im in denial that he will be 1 soon :lol:
Well hope all is well with everyone
Chat soon :D
Wow Levi does sound like Charlie lol! Charlie is tall too. When we was 9 months he was the size of a 12 month old! Lily is tall too, everyone thinks she is 4 because she looks it, but she is only nearly 3. I got asked once if she was going to school next year lol i'm like, no she is only 2!
hahaha yeah people always ask how old Levi is and most are shocked when i tell them. I dont mind i know his healthy and all good. As im sure you all know people are always quick to give you their 2c worth of opinions and stuff :D
Well best be off need sleep as im not feeling 100% at the moment.
Chat soon

Genevieve - hope you feel better soon! Hope Levi is letting you rest a little...sounds like he keeps you busy! I am torn between wanting Kirsten to crawl and dreading it!!
Kate - Glad you are finally getting some sleep! And also great to hear Rylee's reflux is better! You have both had a hard time of it!! Hope she has a lovely birthday when it comes too!

We have our lounge room area barricaded so Levi cant get any where but here cause boy he can move fast. i dont mind him crawling its fun and he is such a character. Im not looking forward to him walking thats for sure. That one can wait till he is 1 hahaha OMG thats not that far away is it....
Well best be off need my sleep more then ever these days.
Chat soon
Hi, I’m new to posting here (but I’ve been hanging around lurking for a while).
I’m Rachel and my DS Angus is nearly 10 months. He’s still breastfeeding heaps (I don’t know how many times a day). He had only just started eating solids well and some days he’ll go off them completely, still no teeth yet. He’s crawling, pulling up and cruising and getting into all kinds of mischief.
DH and I are renovating his room so he co-sleeps with us at the moment. As much as I love the snuggles I am really looking forward to getting our bed back. He also wakes 2 hourly and I’m not sure how much longer I can survive the sleep deprivation. I have the hope that when we put him in his cot in his own room he’ll be really happy and sleep really well, but I’m sure we have a tough few weeks (or months or years) ahead of us. His room is still a few weeks away from being ready.
So, hello to you all and your bubs.
Hello and welcome Rachel!
It's so nice to have another member of our group!
That is a lovely pic of your son!
I'm sure he will sleep much better when in his own room, my daughter won't sleep much when we are around as she loves our company too much! Waking 2 hourly must be so exhausting..Kirsten usually sleeps through for 10-11 hours, she woke last night once at 430am and that was tiring enough so you must be really shattered, especially if he is very lively during the day :( ..hope it improves soon!
She has also just started really enjoying solids, I think they just set their own pace!
He is doing really well with the cruising, Kirsten has only just started sitting up, she is taking her time but getting there at her own speed!
Genevieve..glad you are feeling better..Levi sounds so cute with the crawling, I was watching some twins crawling about a cafe we were in yesterday and they were having great fun..their parents were frazzled though!!

Welcome to BellyBelly Rachel.
Still the same old with us. Ashton is finally over his severe chest infection that he has had. We had to have chest xrays last week to rule out pnuenomia which was ruled out thankfully. So he was put on strong Antibiotics just to kick it once and for all as normal ABs didn't do much for him and he is alot better now.
He is getting his knees under him alot more now, so crawling might only be a month or less away. Just has to work out how to put it all together.
Love
Kathryn - glad Ashton is better at last!
Sounds like it won't be long before he is zipping around. Kirsten gets her knees up under her but can't quite lift herself up with her arms yet, I know its usually the other way round, so not quite sure what is happening with that!!

that sounds similiar to Ashton Marion. 9 times out of 10 when he gets his knees under him he is still has his forearm flat on the ground. Has been the odd occasion that he has pushed himself up onto his hands as well.
Love
It's good to know she isn't the only one doing that!
I think once they get the hang of pushing up with their arms there will be no stopping them!!
Kirsten just usually has a toy in her hands at all times so doesn't want to be wasting time pushing up with her hands!!

Hi,
Thanks for all your welcomes.
Marion – I’m sure you’ve heard it before but all babies are different, still it is hard not to compare. Angus has absolutely no signs of teeth and that worries me, but I know that’s silly and it shouldn’t worry me at all. Just enjoy the time you have while Kirsten is stationary, she’ll be into everything before you know it.
I don’t know how I cope with the sleep deprivation. I know some days are better than others. I worry because prolonged sleep deprivation is dangerous. Oh well, hopefully a good night’s sleep is getting closer now.
Kathryn – I’m very glad Ashton doesn’t have pneumonia.
Hi to you Genevieve as you are new too.
Hope all you other mums and bubs are well too.
Angus is making the funniest "speech" noises at the moment, but he doesn’t know what he's saying. He says MaMa and DaDa but he doesn’t associate them with us (yet). He knows his name and he comes when I call him kind of like a little dog. I feel a bit mean treating him like dog, well not really, but I do find it kind of funny that he comes when I call him and he does a few basic tricks just like a dog. He understands what NO means, DH taught him that.
LOL @ Angus and the dog story Rachel. Too cute.
Ashton knows his name as well. he has been Mr. Grumpy Pants tonight we think the top two teeth might be making a move the gums looked very swollen tonight.
Love
