Hi Ladies, sorry again for being MIA.
I always try to keep up with what everyone's doing but never seem to get the chance to reply.
AFM - Ollie had his 4month health check today. My nickname of "devil baby" was proved! He weighed 6.66kg! He was also 63cm long. Have to go and see the doc about his hips. No one's ever mentioned anything about them before, so I'll be a bit annoyed if they've all missed something.
Having major issues with his sleep. At this point I'd kill for 30-40mins! We're lucky to get 15-20mins during the day. Joy.
G2g, cranky toddler whinging at me. Hope to keep up better!
Good to hear everyone is going well. Fred had her needles last night as well, a few tears but a bb was offered straight away and that cheered her up. Nothing like a good feed
ME - Great to hear about ash, fred did the same thing this morning and she looked so surprised that she was on her tummy! we have her sitting up in her highchair and in the pram and she spends so much time peering around everywhere, it is so cute. She has also just started going for the dogs when they get too close to her, it is very sweet.
LF - hope ollies hips are ok.
Sarah - not fun that AF is back. Mine is still MIA but I would feed about 12-13 times a day... don't know if that makes a difference?
cate - those day sleeps sound awful. Get the ear checked out, I used to have the same problem with lumpy and we found out that she had continuous ear infections and it hurt to lie down poor poppet had it for ages.
Heva - its good to have a chubba bubba, they look so adorable with chub. We have skinny one here, she is only just growing out of her 000's and in 00's. she is tiny compared to her sister at this age. she is slowly getting chubbier thighs and has a cute little pot belly.
Liz - I hope the dermatitis has continued to go away.
AFM - we seemed to have about 3 weeks of frequent feeding which is just now starting to slow down but she is now smiles all the time, laughs and if i say aaahhh to her she repeats it back to me and giggles! I could spend all day doing that with her If I ask her where dada is or sisis she looks for DH and lumpy. and then flaps her arms and legs. DH has nicknamed them the flailing windmills of death, cause with his broken thumb, if they hit it, he is in a lot of pain.
ok off to watch stargate atlantis, im addicted, it so sad... hope everyone else is well
Ryatha - that is so gorgeous!! It is so great with they start responding to things. DH pulls this face and makes a noise at Sam and he starts laughing. I love hearing him laugh, it makes me laugh too!
Lotus Flower - Hope everything is okay with the hips, I too would be very annoyed if they missed something, hopefully everything is fine. Gosh 15-20 mins isn't long at all, I am sure that once Ollie starts doing more active things he will start sleeping more, that's what my mother in law says anyway!
Sloane- glad everything went well with needles, ours are in about 2 weeks!
lovely cate - how did the doc go? Hope there is no ear infection, and way to go on the long night sleeps!
AFM Sam still sleeping from 10pm til 6am which is great, started laughing and did his first roll from stomach to back today! Yay! Got it on video too because he was trying for around 20 minutes and kept getting stuck! He is really loving bath time now too!
I can't believe that we are all up to 4 months! Soon we will all be talking solids!!
Hi everyone,
I dont have much time as Isaac will wake up any minute no doubt. He's had a horrid routine today for some reason, he's sleeping for 15mins, then wake up, play for 10, feed for 10 or 20 then either fall asleep again or get mega grumpy and fussy. Sigh. I'm totally exhausted. I hope he sleeps well tonight and this is just a one off.
Hopefully You guys are well, was intending to have a proper read but alas didn't hapen again
Heva, hope things settle for you soon & that he sleeps well tonight!
Jetta, what great slep you are getting! Sounds like he is doing great!
Ryatha, lol at the 'flailing windmills of death' - ouch! Glad to hear the feeding is settling.
LF hope the sleep improves soon & you can get some rest
Sloane glad Corey's needles went ok. Reminds me I have to book Arlea's she is due in about 3 weeks....I know what you mean it's all over so quickly for them but regardless, I hate them too
Cate, hope Zac's ears are ok , yay for good nighttime sleeping!
MissE, yay for Ash!! it's amazing how quickly their tummy time improves once they start rolling, Arlea still gets cranky if she's there too long but she can do some very big stretches now on her tummy
ETA - just having a look at the photos on FB, he is gorgeous! aren't they growing too quickly ....
AFM we are all good, I did quite bit of work this week, maybe too much as I finished out the week feeling a bit overwhelmed but have had a very nice relaxing day today.
We snuck Arlea onto the scales at the chemist the other afternoon, she was 6450g YAY so almost exactly 500g in 3 weeks, much better than last time - I knew she was growing !
She is trying to sit up now it's kind of like - ok, I can roll - next trick! of course she's not quite strong enough or well balanced but she strains to sit forward if we have her leaning back in our arms.
I am looking at exersaucer type things on ebay, we had one for DS2 & he LOVED it, so that will be her Christmas present. She loves using her legs too, so I think it is just what she needs atm
I know I keep harping on about this teething business but now I'm worried.I am sure he Is teething now, but I'm worried he's getting too many at once. Could it cause him problems if he gets too many teeth too early? I think I can feel a few coming through, one at the front and at least one on the left of his mouth a bit further back. :S
Jasp - Isaac pulls himself up when his sitting on my lap too. I never considered he could be trying to sit up properly.
hope the sleeping improves for the non-sleeping bubs!
hayley has been pretty good lately, although she has decided wake up time is now 6.30am...
A couple of days ago she would only sleep for 1/2 hour at a time during the day and by late afternoon she was getting so grumpy! Yesterday she had a huge sleep in the afternoon, 2.30pm until about 5, then slept right through the night from 7.30 to 6.30 this morning, and had about an hour and a half sleep this morning! So some days she has really good sleeps, other days she is terrible!
I weighed her on our Wii Fit a few days ago (we got the new Wii Fit Plus, where you can weigh babies and pets...although it won't register that we are standing on the board with our dog...maybe he's too heavy.). According to that she is 7kg, but I don't know how accurate it is! going to visit the MCHN in the next couple of weeks, just so I can get her weighed and measured. Also need to book her in for her 4 month needles, she is due about now for them. Last time was bad though..I had tears in my eyes she was crying so hard!
She still hasn't figured out how to roll from tummy to back, did see her do it a couple of times but I dont think she realises that she can actually do it. She is starting to spend a bit more time on her tummy though.
Jasp - isn't Arlea clever! Lol. H is starting to do that too...her neck must be quite strong as she tries to lift her head up when she is lying flat, and if she is sitting slightly up (like on a pillow) then she lifts her head up. She is quite well balanced when sitting, I wouldn't let go of her but she can wobble around by herself for a few seconds!
Jetta- how cool you got it on video! We have tried to get Hayley laughing on video but can never catch it at the right moment!
better go, sorry I know I have missed people! Gotta go find something for dinner...
Heva I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think it will cause any problems if she gets a few teeth at once, I am sure one or two of my kids did but they were a bit older. It might just mean she is a bit grizzlier & has a bit of a tough time with it, but at least it will be over with quicker!
Storm I have tried to get the laughs on video too, it's tricky
poor poppet had it for ages. 
but she is now smiles all the time, laughs and if i say aaahhh to her she repeats it back to me and giggles! I could spend all day doing that with her 
hope everyone else is well
but have had a very nice relaxing day today.
it's kind of like - ok, I can roll - next trick! of course she's not quite strong enough or well balanced but she strains to sit forward if we have her leaning back in our arms.
