Babies Born October 2007 #26

Mo sorry your feeling crappy about your mum! Sending you lots of hugs!
Becky bet your glad your not in cloth with all those poos hahaha!
Saffi Myles went off the solids but know kinda loves them again! I guess you have to try to not worry too much cause he is still ff isnt he?
Claire your harry weighs more than Myles! I have taken him to the dr but he is not worried! Do you think i should be? Have a lovely day to yourselves!
Trish poor K hope he is better soon! As i said sooo jealous about not being able to go to the opening! I would have flown especially but not with a snotty boy hahaha!

Myles tooth is through! Last night we gave him a rusk for the first time and he must have bitten too hard and screamed there was blood in his mouth from his tooth, is this normal?
Anyway his cold is better but still abit snotty which is sad!

anyway bbl have agreat day xo

Saffi - its been getting worse and worse for about a week. The last 2 days though it is really bad. Poor little thing. She cries every time I wipe her bum. Hope the paw paw clears it up, its pretty good stuuf. How is the job going? Think your gonna stay at it long term? Good luck with L at Childcare!

Aww becky your poor lil bub! does she have nappy rash aswell? Hope she gets better soon! xx

No, no nappy rash, just a bright red bot. Looks sooooo painful and she cries when I wipe her. Poor little thing. I keep putting tons of Pawpaw on her - not doing too much yet. I just need her to stop pooping!

*******NEWSFLASH********

The boy had a poo! Thank goodness for that! Normal consistency and colour so no constipation but I'm thinking a definite food intolerance - it had been at least 12 days!! I did a little dance for him and sung a little song - kid was looking at me like I was mental. I'm happy!

Amber - I wouldn't be worried, Myles is still within the growth lines right? Emily is a dinky thing and her weight is really low for her age but it's genetics, what can you do? They wil only eat as much as they want. Besides breastfed babies are lighter anyway!

Becky - I used Lucas' pawpaw until I realised it had sorbate the preservative in it - i now use Calendula (Weleda) and it is just fabulous stuff!

Joel has been vomiting since midnight :(. Don't think I'll be making it to the BB centre opening, so disappointing!

BBL, hope you are all well.

Oh no, poor thing - hopefully it will be a 24 hour thing........!

claire... breastfed babies are lighter? someone needs to get that memo to Captain Chunks over here. he's a chubster...

as i type he is blowing raspberries and making drooly bubbly sounds... haha...

trish - sorry to hear you've been in vom-central. if it's not one thing....

julia - i remember when the chn stood james up by pulling his hands up from lying down position.it freaked me out because i didn't think they could handle it. that was at about 4 months. she said they bend their knees as soon as it's too much. after i found that out, i had chubs up on his feet all the time. maybe it's just time for relaxy-maxy to do some standing up exercises. once james worked out he could do that, it's all he wanted to do. i either support by his hands or under his arms and let him take his own weight. always got good squeals out of him.

this just in... i was sitting here typing and i heard this loud grunt. next thing you know, two blue eyes appear over the edge of the table i'm typing on and someone pulled himself up. i was egging him on and he did it again.

woo. he's keen. only mastered crawling this week. :hooray:

baha...Relaxy-Maxy...love it!

Viv - good point....Maxxy does love standing...he's even starting to bob while he's up there....I guess he's happy as long as I'm with him....Wish I had more carpet in my house....makes it harder for the kid on the floor....oh well!

Oh and YAY for JJ....up he goes...and then he'll be OFF! So....teeth?

Claire I'd love to know where the info came from that BF babies are lighter!! Not like that around here either! I personally think the genes have a lot to do with it!

Trish Hope Joel has stopped spewing now and you can go off galavanting!

Ahh sorry brain mush - I had the WHO growth charts in mind when writing that. What I meant was I have read that breastfed babies are leaner in comparison to formula fed babies - Julia, yes genetics obviously does have something to do with it.

Trish shame you couldn't make it, Hope Joel is better.

M had a great time there crawling all over the place, Pulling Lu's hair & making her cry (poor Lu)
It was really nice meeting some more BB people.

ahhhhh...leaner! Heavy but lean! But the poor kid got my chunky genes! Poor Sod!

I did finally make it to the BB centre, it was great! It was so nice to meet some fellow BBers IRL. I left Joel at home with DH, the poor boy has been sleeping on his fold-out couch most of the day, still in his PJ's. He stopped chucking this morning thankfully, he has a really high temp atm though, so I am watching him carefully.

I had a nanna nap at lunch-time today because I only got 4 broken hours of sleep last night. I was up and down with Joel constantly and then of course K needed his 5am feed, yuck.

K is now overtired from our outing and refusing to sleep...

Julia - I love Max's new ticker photo, he's such a cutie!

Mo - Bummer I missed you guys, I was so upset that I couldn't make it this morning.

Viv - Wow, James is so clever! K is nowhere near doing anything like crawling or standing. He doesn't really bare weight when you stand him up, he just bounces up and down. When your MCHN pulled J up, was that from lying on his back? I'll have to give it a go!

Claire - Yay for Harry doing a poo LOL! Hopefully things will keep moving along nicely now!

Amber - Congrats on Myles' first tooth! Has he bitten you with it yet?!

Becky - Poor Chelsea, I hope the redness clears up soon.

Have a great night all!

:cryinglaugh: :cryinglaugh: was thinking the same thing!

But statistically speaking, yes, BF bubs are leaner. DD was a 'classic' BF bub, DS is.....not. LOL!

Rotten colds all round here. DD is miserable, but L not too bad thankfully. Few more wake ups last night than normal, but otherwise not too bad.

Amber - when DD cut her two bottom teeth, I found her in her cot in the morning with blood all over the cuff of her bonds suit. FREAKED until I saw blood around her mouth too and realised she'd cut her teeth. So yes, a bit of bleeding is OK.

Trish - hope Joel is feeling better tonight. Poor tyke...

yay Harry Im doing a poo dance for you LOL!!
how was your morning with dh and kid free claire?!


I remember Nixon went through this at about this age and his farts smelt so rotten until he rinally let one out lol. Tyron on the other hand is very regular, i think i changed 4 poos from him today..... its always atleast 1 and depending on how many teeth he wants to push through maybe more. (just cut tooth 6 a few days ago)

I weighed my monster myself and he's still 10kg. so he hasnt actully put on weight since 6months but he's got taller def cause pants are getting shorter. I was looking at him and he's got the chub cheeks thick legs etc but he's not a sumo wrestler baby like i'd imagine a 10kg 7month old to be lol! he's just big all over and well proportioned. and i do think genes play a huge roll. DH his very solid and 6ft 3inches tall so i'm sure tyron is going to give him a run for his money.

Nixon is started to come out with some more words now he's a charachter. he learnt one of our dogs names "Marlu" so kept repeating it over and over today.
I also taught him to say "Im tall, Im stong, Im skinny & Im a monkey" and do the actions to it!! although if he actually did this infront of anyone no one would have a clue what he just said but i know what he is doing!

Trish- i hope Joel is ok. we are about 5-6weeks off officially moving in. Today we bought an over and range hood. removed the old broken up kitchen into the trailer and ripped up the remainder of the carpet. so we basically have done as much as we can and now its up to all the trades to start doing their bit in order!

nickers - how gorgeous - smarty pants, nixon.

trish - when the chn lay him down to measure him she took his hands and pulled them until his body came off the table then pulled his arms above his head. i asked her if this caused bowed legs but she said no (that fat disposable nappies do that - not sure how true that is). anyhow, we held him up like that by his hands a lot when he was around that age. now we hold his arms more out to the side.

he loved to bounce, and i'd just let him take as much weight as he wanted to.

today he has been doing the 'pull up' onto stuff all morning. no wonder he's not sleeping so well, he's cooking up these milestones in his sleep. i don't sleep when i'm cooking things in my brain either. yesterday, after i typed about his pull up, he did it again but slid off the table with slippery magazines and konked his head on the tiles (just missed his soft mat). oh man, mother guilt... wah wah waaaaaaaah....

now i sit behind him whenever he does it because he's a tad wobbly.

Viv- Wow! James will be off in no time!

Amber - What I should have said is Myles is fine! He is perfectly proportioned!

Nic - I'd love to see Nixon do that dance! Bet he looks very cute! Didn't get that morning free unfortunately, but we are planning a child-free Friday night very soon! See you tonight at the meeting.

Hmm quite a fan of exclamation marks aren't I?

Trish - what was the centre like? What does it do?

Harry seems to have slowed down with regards to putting weight on too - looks like 100g in the past month but I did weigh him on different scales, so can't be completly sure. Found him rocking on his knees and hands yesterday so I'm hoping crawling isn't too far off for this young man - he's desperate to get moving and if left in a room alone, wails the place down! loves walking though and at times I can just hold one of his hands and he balances, he's started walking towards a piece of furniture too! Clever little dude!

Last night was awful again - I end up taking him in bed with me and he wants to stay attached so every time he falls asleep and pops of, he wakes up and roots around which wakes me up!
