my little guy has decided that 3.30-4.30am is awake time. mummy is not impressed. I'm sure it's a phase, but I'd like it to pass now! I don't know how you mums with other older children do it. There must be another level of tiredness that I don't even know about yet.. and not looking fwd to if I have another one. ; )
other than nighttime sleeps, things are still trucking along ok here. we tried watermelon yesterday, he loved it. so, so cute listening to him slurp the juices & watching him have the best time making a big mess of himself. he liked using the green end as a teether, which kept him occupied for another 10 minutes. I need to buy a drop sheet for under his highchair though... it is quite a messy process. : )
Hi girls. Still here but so busy these days. Work is busy, sick hubby at home and teething bubba. Jack still has no teeth yet and is the last one in our baby group thats still gummy. I dont mind though as it makes him a baby that bit longer. No crawling yet thank god. I am loving this age. He is rolling everywhere but not into anything yet. He is happy at day care. Sleeps through most nights but if he wakes its normally 4am for a feed. Ugh thats the worse although I think 5am is worse. It like why bother going back to bed. Must be a growing day. He has dropped a bottle so lucky to get 3 into him. Also not eating as much. He has a runny nose which I have put down to teething. He loves vegemite on toast or cruskets. He likes to feed himself more which is fine on weekends but frustrating on work days. So slow and messy. Andie , try a cheap shower curtain under the high chair.
It sounds like all the bubbas are doing well. Its such a lovely age. They are so interesting and all personality.
Peekaboo, we are still doing the dreamfeed too. I have brought it forward half an hour and I'm reducing the amount every couple of days to phase it out. She doesn't seem starving at 7am so I don't think she really needs it anymore.
Andie, we aren't doing baby led solids and the mess is crazy so I would imagine your mess! Although i do give her toast fingers and fruit to eat herself and it ends up everywhere, even the dogs mouth!!Vic, haha If I have to wake I would rather 4am than 5am too. Sounds like Jack is doing well
Cinder, sounds like you definitely have your hands full!
DD is doing great, she has a cold at the moment so a bit sooky. Yesterday was the worst, she woke after a 1.5 hour sleep and 40 snotty grizzly minutes later she was asleep on me on the chair poor bubba. But last night she slept like a log, so worn out I guess. I am loving this stage! She talks and babbles to herself all day, started saying 'dad' even though I'm sure she doesn't realise what she is saying. We started daycare 2 days a week (that's why she is sick!) but she loves it. Only problem is they feed her too much solids so she won't take her bottle. I asked them to half the solids for now. She is going from tummy to sitting up all the time now, even in her cot which is annoying. Crawling backward, but still not forward yet. But all in all I am loving it, she's such a cheeky character
vic - Im fairly sure my little guy is teething too, although no teeth yet either. He likes to gum my chin atm, rubbing side to side. Must feel good but I end up covered in drool. hope you're hubby is feeling better.
tasha - hope your dd is feeling better. it is a lovely stage atm, they are so expressive with their voices & faces. you can tell they are just learning so much by watching everything. I realised I will have to watch what I buy/eat in front of my little guy bc I bought an icecream the other day when we were out walking & he just looked longingly at it while I was pushing him in his pram... I almost gave him some bc I couldn't stand his sweet little face wondering why I wasn't sharing, but 7 months is a bit early for icecream?! it was chocolate too... maybe if it was vanilla?! im sure a little taste wouldn't have hurt...
afm - we are still getting up at 3-4am here. I think he's growing, he feels heavier & looks like he has some chunk back. im quite tired though. I should be showering now while he's asleep again, but yaaaawn. going to have to soon though bc I am desperate for my coffee this morning. had a good day yesterday though. one of those days where you feel like you're the best mum in the world; dishes done, washing done, baby is sleeping, you've prepped dinner, you've been out for a walk to exercise, the sun is shining etc. it was nice bc those days are quite rare!
I have a sick bubba. Jack has had vomiting and diarrhea since Sunday. I have taken in a stool sample so waiting to hear what he has. Adenovirus is doing the rounds here so assuming its that. I have not worn so much projectile vomit in my whole life. He seems happy enough though but I am exhausted. Sooo much washing. Last night gave him bottle for bed, sat for half hour with him while he snored on me with spew bag in my hand and then put him to bed only for him to roll over and start vomiting. Was dark and I could hear it. I pick him up and he grabs my top and proceeds to power vomit onto my bra.
