Happy Birthday to all the January babies!! Ds is now officially a year old according to his adjusted age
He's doing amazing, he commando crawls, can pull himself up from sitting to standing and cruises the furniture. Unfortunately because he is unable to crawl on all 4's yet, he still can't get from laying to sitting, which is quite annoying! The physio thinks he lacks strength in his abdo muscles, which considering he has had 2 major surgeries, isn't surprising. What is annoying though is that he now has to wear a support thing around his tummy. She didn't have any his size, so we are using tubi grip. It's hot and he hates it, I don't have it on him as much as she would like, but whatever lol..
He has been challenging with his hearing aids, pulling them out and losing them. He has one in at the moment which is a loan one, as we wait for his replacements.
We have had a nice break from therapies over the xmas break, I hated his speech therapist, so we are changing this year. Not sure who we get, but I hope I like her. If not, I am not sure what to do next. I feel speech therapy is so important as he is at the age where speech is developed. He doesn't say much, dada, bub bub, and he has said Mum a few times. He sometimes shakes his head "no".. I know his comprehension is fine, but his speech is most definitely delayed.
I think that's most of our news, I know most of you are on his page anyway We are still breast feeding and co sleeping too.. Next month will mark 1 year breastfeeding for us!! A very big milestone for me because it has been extremely challenging at times. I have no plans to wean anytime soon though!
Love reading all your updates. Will come back tonight and give ours. I am feeling quite relaxed as i reminisce what i was doing this time last year. Jen and Bella had both had their hbac s and i was just waiting for my little man to be ready, and hoping he would get and stay head down.
Violet has been having some allergy issues. We have discovered she is allergic to polyester and hummus (assuming from sesame seeds). She cant wear anything with polyester in it or breaks out in hives/exzema. This makes it difficult because its cold and baby clothes are mainly made from fleece right now.
We havent checked her weight in awhile and frankly Im glad. Im sure its still not where Dr.s want but I know she is healthy and happy and thats all that matters. We are still bf'ing but I give her one supplement bottle a day of cows milk (ran out of donor milk).
She is standing by herself and now we are just waiting for those first steps!
Oops, it took me awhile to get back. DS started walking 4 days before his birthday. He is now running, climbing and getting into mischief whenever he can. He has quite a few words, lot more than DD had at this age, but he is also alot quieter than her. He topped 10kg! at his 12 month mchn visit (between 50th and 75th percentiles) and 74.5cm length (just below 50th but he wiggled alot so he may have been taller)and head 48.3cm (fat head at just under 98th). He has slowed down in growth since his birth, but he is still bigger than DD was at this age, and i feel it when i have to carry him for long periods.
I am tentatively working on night weaning. We had 3 good nights, but then the last two have been not very successful again. I am pretty tired after 3 years of no full nights of sleep, and would like to move DS in to DDs room but don't see much point if i will just have to get out of bed to feed him multiple times. Is anyone else still feeding much overnight?
We are still breast feeding and co sleeping too.. Next month will mark 1 year breastfeeding for us!! A very big milestone for me because it has been extremely challenging at times. I have no plans to wean anytime soon though!
