Bubs is teething something shocking; for the last 3 nights he has screamed from one feed to next and it's always around dinner time. I've had to give him panadol, poor thing. I wish they would just come.
I am taking him to the Osteo today, I'll let you know how he went and if it has made a difference. I wish it was me going though,lol. I always feel sore after, I hope he doesn't or it will be more panadol.
I've been away for a bit as our computer has just recovered from a nasty virus. It's official, we are now moving back to Canberra at the end of September (yay!). I have so many things that need to be done so thankfully I'll be busy while DH is away.
I think we are teething.....argh!!!! I couldn't do anything right for bubs today. He has just been whingey all day. He had such a good sleep last night too (he slept from 1030 to 430). We were supposed to go out but by 11 I knew that it wasn't going to happen. So I took off our "fancy clothes" and donned the old daggies for a day at home. We'll try again tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm tired and I'm moping so I should really get off the computer and get some things done. I hope everyone else is travelling well.
Long time since I have last posted. I can't believe we have hit the 5 month mark already.
Lennox is a happy lil fella most of the time. He is still waking about 3 times a night but usually goes back to sleep after a feed.
We have the top of our first tooth through. It has taken a month for it to come through and we go through a hundred bibs a day. Lucky I have just started making bibs so I have plenty of the rejects for him.
He is just started to roll a bit though not much. Happy to lay and munch on his toys.
Not much else has been happening this way. Just growing, growing, growing too quickly for me. Lucky I want more babies.
Go Ciaran! Bree - I agree with Cass' tips for getting to work on time. Super organised the night before is the key. I have to leave for work at 7am so it has to run like a machine (which is impossible with two kids under the age of 3!!)
Cass - love the stories - glad I'm not the only one who feels like that!!!
Well - Sophie was 1 yesterday!!!! She had a lovely day...she only ever walks now and has decided to attempt to run after her brother (oh on!!). This is such a phase of rapid development!!! She is attempting to say more words too - bum bum is her newest one (naughty!!), along with cup, up, puppy, hello etc. She loves the "ta"game at the moment too!!
On Monday we had 6 kids over under 3 and Sophie was in the thick of it having a lovely time. She is so excited to be doing what everyone else is. She is a naughty one though!!!
She had her health check too this week - 8.6kg and 71cm in height - I think both around 15th percentile (she is little and was born that way too).
Can't believe it was 1 year ago yesterday she was born - life is crazy!!
Hey LJ. Sophie is just about the same size as Robert - he's 8.55kg and 73.5cm. Our wee little pocket rockets!!!
Like you I also can't believe how quickly the past year has gone. My little baby is 1 today!! Each day just gets better and he fills my heart with so much love that sometimes it's overwhelming. I just love every inch of him. My favourite part of the day with him is nursing him before bed and then just holding him and breathing in his sweet scent as he nods off to sleep.
Im here
DD is now fully toilet trained through the day, and my gosh, what a relief!!! Nightime is different, still in nappies and loving her milk
DD is getting MUCH better with her social skills, ie sharing & appropriate introductions to different play scenarios. Seems she is a lot like me, more than I like really She's very headstrong, loud, a definite leader, bossy & smart. Just ask DS 2011, poor thing is ruled by her most days!
DS2 is also toilet trained and, more recently, decided to stop the night time nappy. Totally his decision and (hope I don't jinx myself) it's been completely successful. Yes, we have a few setbacks but on the whole he's doing really really well. I don't even mind the 3am wake ups to take him to the toilet.
He has a foul temper when he wants to let it show (gets that from me) and is precocious and daring (he gets that from his father) but totally loveable, funny, kind-hearted and clever.
His favourite thing he has discovered is lego (the grown-up stuff) DH, DS2 and I spent last friday night building lego creations...it was fun! Thankfully I kept all of DS1s lego so we won't have to be any...ever!
DS2 is going good ATM. He was diagnosed with Glandular Fever last Oct and has been sick on and off since then. We have a referral to a paediatrician to get him checked out.
He is still wearing pull ups to bed and I am fine with that. DS1 wore them until the beginning of prep and hasn't had one wet bed so I hope DS2 transitions just as well.
He is at kindy 3 days a week and loves it! The teachers always tell me that he is their favourite lol. He is a funny lil thing.
