Mmm... what's your name on FB? I could 'invite' you into I think..

Ill pm you carly

Um I think I was in the group but left it as I had privacy issues with FB at the time. I'm not sure how/if I can rejoin?

What's your name on FB and we'll invite you back on? I can't believe how quickly time has gone since I last posted on here! Feels like 1 month ago (which is bad enough in itself), not 3! Sorry!

Emily just turned 6 months yesterday and is doing very well last Tuesday she was measuring and weighing in the 75th percentile across the board. She's been on Losec for her reflux and that has really helped but still needs it.

She's been wearing a brace for mild hip dysplasia for the last 8 weeks and an X-ray 2 weeks ago showed that it's all corrected now, but they just wanted to keep her in it a bit longer to make sure it stays that way. 3 weeks until her next X-ray where it's very likely she'll be able to finish with the brace. Yay!

She was only just starting to roll onto her sides from her back before the brace went on, so she's got a bit of catching up to do, but she is very eager to move and has been trying despite the brace. I think she'll do a lot in a short span as a big catch-up once it's off.

We've just started baby led weaning and she's a bit uninterested at the moment, but that's okay. She can just treat the food as toys for now. She is straddled over one of my legs to do so at the moment but we'll encourage sitting up as soon as possible after the brace goes.

Emily's gotten very vocal lately, especially today! I'm positive she said both "Mumma" and "Daddy" today, even if both accidentally. She's entering the babble phase I think and SO many smiles, giggles and raspberries, it's just adorable!!

DD is such a babbler too. She loves shrieking shrilly at the moment- definitely has a girl's vocal chords!

Oh and she cut her bottom two teeth at 5.5 months, is commando crawling (on elbows with legs sort of flipping about without being much help) but she is doing a crazy rocking hip thing which is what babes apparently do just before real crawling. She goes on her hands and knees and energetically rocks backwards and forwards. It actually reminds me of a birthing position!

Arg wrong post!

Is anyone still around in this thread? I'd love to 'stalk' you and see what your bubba's are up to - we're going to be fostering a little girl this age soon

[phebee]

Hiya! I'm here. Well Tapatalk said someone commented in here so I looked My little girl just turned 2 last week! Can't believe how quickly it's flown! She is a beautiful cheeky little delight. She's got heaps of language and is talking in 4/5 word sentences. Even though she can be quite naughty at times, for the most part I am loving this age

That's wonderful of you to foster! I hope you really enjoy looking after the little girl. When will you get her?

[Ladylove]

I'm here too! Today my DD (turned 2 on the 15th) was behaving as though she had PMS. It is an incredible age, emotionally a bit tumultuous but in a really inspiring way (when I've recovered from general exhaustion ) because their emotional development and awareness really changes, sky rockets.

Hi, I'm here too!!!! Yayy!! I'm glad you ladies fired the thread up again!
Olivia is 2 as well and a little pocket rocket!

She's got loads of words, but the main one is mum.. Is varying volumes.. Generally LOUD!! Lol
