walking already, cinder... wow. soon you will have 2 little ones running around.
how is everyone? we are going ok, still not sleeping that great through the night. little one has a sniffle atm too, so woke up 4 times before 9.30pm last night. poor little guy. he is starting to get frustrated again, so I think he will be properly crawling any day now, he is just commando crawling atm. he loves to be on his feet though, but my back cant keep up with him. we have a bday party this Saturday night, first time I will have left him & im not looking forward to it. still haven't decided if I will actually go. definitely wont if he's still got his sniffle. I don't want to leave him but feel I should make an effort. hope everyone is going ok. xx
Andie, how is your little man doing? I heard at this age they have around 9 colds a year! That sucks about the night wakings, does he go back to sleep quickly or is he fully waking and crying?
Cinder, first step! I am dreading the walking! You will definitely have your hands full now.
How is everyone else, peeks? Vic?
Everything's going well here and I'm loving it. DD is so clever and cute, sleeps like a champ. She's standing holding onto things and can go one hand. She has taken both hands off twice now, but just wobbled for a couple of seconds and fallen on her bum Our lounge room is now totally bare. Nothing on the tv unit, coffee table, side table. I have put boxes in front of the power switch that she can reach. Baby gate works magic to stop her getting into the kitchen I was going to buy her one of those walker things that they push along, but I'm not so sure I want to speed up the process!
Jack is finally crawling. We are away at my mums place and he just started crawling properly yesterday. It was lovely my parents got to see it first hand too as they live away from us. Its still early days with the crawling but we will have to totally baby proof when we get home. We are pretty organised but need to put up a few more gates. Also, Easter Bunny bought Jack his first tooth. Such a cute and adorable age. He is sleeping through the night. I am back at work 4 days a week now and its a lot but we are coping. His daycare center is great and they listen to our needs. He has been pullling up and standing for such a long time we all thought he would just start walking.
Cinders - I cant believe bubs has taken a few steps. Gosh thats exciting.
Andie - sorry to hear your bubs has the sniffles and it not sleeping too well. I hope it improves quickly.
Tasha - its so lovely to hear your enjoying motherhood. Your dd sounds gorgeous.
tasha - I hear you on not wanting to 'encourage' the walking... it sounds terrible to say doesn't it, but they will be unstoppable when they start walking! Having said that, we will be buying a walker thing too soon (something with a handle & wheels anyway). to answer your question, he goes to sleep straight away after night wakings (although not at 4am this morning... didn't go back to sleep till 5.30am... arghhhh!), after a boob. no crying. just grizzling if I try & resettle without a boob. I need to try something now, its one thing for me to be delirious but I think he's starting to get over tired from all the night wakings too. got little bags under his eyes today, poor little guy.
vic - crawling & a tooth - how sweet! he timed that very well & im sure your parents loved it. I was just saying to my mum the other day, I wonder if my little one will just walk instead of hands/knees crawling bc he just loves being on his feet. always standing whenever he can. he has done a couple of 'proper' crawls, like one or two movements, but then flops back down to his speedy commando crawl.
afm - little one is a bit better today, although now his cheeks are bright red so im assuming teeth again. seems in good spirits though. little trooper. going to try & setlle without a feed for one of his wakings tonight... which one - 9.30/10pm, 12.30/1am, 3.30/4am?!
Andie, dd fed at 10pm (dreamfeed) and then 3-4am. The 3-4am was first dropped around 4 months old. 10pm feed I dropped around 7 months. But in your case i'd start with the 12:30-1 feed and once thats dropped you can work on the 3-4am. I noticed a huge difference in dd once she was sleeping all night. She just became so happy and content during the day. ( maybe she gets that from me lol)
