Babies Born October 2007 #9

[goldilocks]

I just blinked and another 3 weeks has disappeared! Where on earth the time goes I will never know. I can't believe our little princess is 2 months old today! She's growing up too quickly *boo hoo*

India had her 6-8 week check up last week. Our little milk vampire weighed in at 5.56kgs, measured 60cms in length with a head circ of 40cms...basically, she's the size of a small 6 month old...

The sister was frightfully impressed with her mammoth dimensions and told us not to change a thing, we're doing brilliantly...it's so nice to be told that you have a beautiful, thriving bubba from someone in the know. Anthony & I walked out of there feeling proud as punch

India has been sleeping for 8 hours every night from 6 weeks which is fabulous! We reckon she's going to be crawling soon...she rolls herself onto her side and tummy already, and pushes herself along the floor when she's lying on her back.

She's a kooky little thing, is always chatting away to herself and smiling at things we can't see! LOL The interaction with her now is the BEST thing...it's amazing how you can have a conversation with her, she understands what communication is all about, and is always 'talking' back to us.

It's so hard to get on the net these days as India is so full on and needs constant stimulation during the day. She LOVES being outside and is fascinated by birds and trees and the wind through her hair I'm always out walking with her or sticking her in the bouncer so she can watch me swim in our pool LOL Only another month and she can join me in the pool!

Anyway, enough of my rambling! I'm glad everyone is doing well and all the bubs are growing more gorgeous by the day. I wish I could get on more because I feel like I'm missing out on them all growing up!

I hope everyone is looking forward to Christmas and the new year!!!

Hugs to all,
Belle & India

Just a quick reply to all the latest Q's...

DTD - um...embarrassed to say, every night or at least every second night... LOL I've been taking the mini pill since 6 weeks post-birth. And can I just say that 'spooning' has been erased from our repetoire...too much of the one position during pregnancy kinda killed it for us LOL

Vax - we've ummed and arred about them for months but have decided to have them all done.

Tummy time - India rolls onto her side and tummy by herself so I don't give her a specific amount of tummy time every day. I give her some nudie time on a beach towel by the pool most days though...she loves being naked and I'm happy for her to get a dose of Vit D from the sunshine!

Routines - errr, routine?? What is that?! LOL Uh no, India has no set routine apart from being in bed between 8-9 every night. She doesn't sleep much during the day unless we go out (she lurrrves her carseat...guaranteed to send her off almost instantly) and only really catnaps at home during the day. I don't mind her not sleeping much during the day because she sleeps so well at night, only waking at 4-5am then sleeping again until 7-8am, and again until 10-11am.

Dummies - India REFUSES to suck on a dummy...she hates them. But even though she hates dummies, she makes no fuss about taking a bottle when Anthony is feeding her EBM (I let him feed her once every day or so...he loves the daddy/daughter time ) Go figure!

Weight - I'm back to my pre-preg weight. Woot! I was wearing my bikinis again by 6 weeks post-birth so I guess I can't complain
