well Tyron has decided to cut his first tooth already! at 4 1/2 months old!!
he has been dribbling heaps and a bit more clingy than normal but last night i noticed his gum looked about ready to cut a tooth. thismorning i can feel the tip through his gum.
dunno if i mentioned it b4 also Ty decided about a month ago he didnt want the dummy. just kept spitting it out everytime. so he no longer has one! BUT nix still has one @ bedtime and want to get him off it just after his bday. even more so now he wont be seeing any of tyrons around hoping that helps.

Claire- yep got the harness thing & i use it but what happened at playgroup was a freak accident. we are in a room securely locked, it was when ppl started leaving the door was opened and not shut. oh i was hoping Harry didnt have an ear infection, hope it clears up soon.

trish- sorry to hear youve all coped it. in regards to carrybing K when he gets tired, do u have a carrier like HAB or baby bjorn u could put him in so u have your hands free? WTG on the weight loss, ive stalled a bit now git 3kg before my pre pg weight but wanna go a few kgs more than that too.

Happy 4months yesterady Jasmine! Happy 4months today Lachlan (saffi)
ok better go bit hard trying to type & feed while Ty is squirming!

Hey all!

Oh geez I haven't been in here in forever!

Umm.. where shall I start.

At his 4 month needles, Elijah was 8.4kg, now in size 0
not quite rolling, but he's sooo close! He goes from his back to his side, is ALMOST to the point of rolling the whole way and his arm gets stuckso he rolls back onto his back. Been doing that for weeks now. Ah well...
He's cutting a front bottom and a molar. Yep, a molar. You can see the white edges on the sides peeking through. Loves munching away on our fingers with our thumbs jammed as far back as he can possibly get them without him gagging.

Noice huh!?

What else...

Oh! He does this 'back crawl' thing where he basically squirms his way to whatever or whoever he wants. He also arches his back and pushes up with his legs when he wants you to pick him up. Very cute


Anyway, he's up now so I better go!


I'll pop in more often I think!

[~Trish~]

Willow - Sounds like L is doing well with his sleeps! K's day naps are all over the place. Some days he'll have great ones, other days he won't. I'm just trying to go with the flow! Well done on being pre-preg weight! I seem to put on a lot of weight in pregnancy, but I think it is because I am usually pretty skinny (borderline underweight on that darned BMI chart ) so my body must need to bulk up! After I had Joel I ended up losing 5kg more than pre-preg!!

Nic - Wow, I can't believe Tyron has cut a tooth!!! It sounds like he coped pretty well with it though, hopefully he copes that well with the rest of them! I do have a Baby Bjorn for K, but he gets really restless in it unless I go for a walk. It's easier to cart him around, but I think my arms will drop off soon lol!

Sarah - Welcome back! Glad to hear Elijah is doing so well. Wow, cutting a molar too! I didn't realise they could get a molar so early.

Yeah I know, I couldn't believe it either. Apparently molars can go up and down, hope that don't happen though, sounds very painful!

Sarah-ewwwwwww teeth......ewwwwwwwww molar!!! Eeeeek sooooo not looking forward to that!! Welcome back!
Mo-Meant to say much earlier on that we want one of those activity centres for Caitlyn. She puts so much weight on her legs now (please dont start moving just yet!!) even the ladies at daycare have mentioned it! She will stand and I will have my hands either side to support her from falling sideways but her little (chunky) legs hold her up for quite some time. So now that she has discovered this she doesnt like sitting and HATES lying down. So basically I sit on the couch holding her from falling sideways. Puts a big smile on her face though. We did pick something up from kmar that is very similar (nowhere else to look!) but when she sits in it, the way it is made she falls forward. She looks so uncomfortable. we tend to stuff a cloth nappy in the front to support her a little. I can't wait to get to Townsville in April to buy more stuff for her!!
Anyway - am off to the Doc this afternoon - DH and I are desperate to find out if we can do anything in regards to my lack of sex drive. I am just not intersted at all - im not too tired - just have no interest in it (sorry if TMI). Hopefully a change of pill will do the trick poor DH keeps telling me he is going to DIE soon!! ha ha ha
Hope you have all had good days - mwah

hello all

feeling a bit better today - got out of the house and all that.... and bought more baby clothes...

the good news is, i've lost all my preg weight (18kg), the bad news is that my body is weird. boy does it look different. i have lost heaps of muscle mass and am just a jelly thingo with 2 inches too much still on my waist. very odd this whole baby thing.

the little guy has decided he hates his dummy now and is always trying to make a beeline for boob when i'm settling him. gah... drastic measures are required i think. don't know what they are just yet.

bah - he's crying in teh swing... better go

Evening all,
I am sitting here trying hard to ignore Ethan for a few minutes to allow him to self settle. We have moved on from the one arm wrapped thing to no arms wrapped and it is a big leap. I think Ethan keeps playing with his dummy while he is settling and then takes it out and can't get it back in which is why he is not going to sleep. Oh well, hopefully he will get the idea soon. Feeling really tired tonight and hubby is out for the night. Wont be home till late so I'm on my own with Ethan. Wish me luck girls.

Ni Night.

Hi all

Spent the whole day at the shops. We enjoyed the movie. I haven't seen so many prams and babies in the one place. Scary. It was a very interesting experience. L decided to crack up and I couldn't settle him in my seat so I had to go for a walk. Anyway 10 mins later he was asleep. Will go again. Saw Definitely Maybe - ok, nothing special.

Bought some clothes for L today as well. Just a few jumpsuits and some pants. It is starting to get cooler here and everything I have is summer.

Nickers - thanks for noticing L's birthday! Wow, congrats to Tyron for his first tooth breakthrough. I also can't believe a bub would go off a dummy. I wish L would - it would make my life so much easier.
Trish - sorry to hear that you and K aren't well. Hope you get better soon.

Formula - L has about 200mls at a time. I also BF and give him EBM so FF is more of a supplement. I weighed him today and he is now 6.36kg! He's slowly catching up.
Weight - I have another 4kgs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I have been fairly stable for the last couple of months so will need to take some more active measures to budge those last few kgs. Got the jelly belly too. Actually always had it but now is even flabbier feeling.

Didn't get much sleep overnight - partly because I slept so much in the afternoon that I wasn't tired at normal bedtime. So fed L at around 11.30. He just wouldn't go back to sleep. He was doing his flapjack thing. I'd put him down on his back and come back a few moments later he was on his front peering over the top of the bassinet at me! So cute but so frustrating!

Hope you all had a good day.
