I love the walking with the arms raised for balance - soo cute! Won't be long and he'll be running around Well done with the breast feeding!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you for sleeping through the night. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel, sooner rather than later.
Thanks ladies
Peeks, I reckon girls are way more placid. well, from what i've seen.
Andie, I will keep my fingers crossed Yay for the walking too, must be so cute to watch.
No walking here yet, she doesn't have the confidence. I try and walk with her holding her hands and she just drops on her bum. She seems to be advancing on the motor skills though. I love watching her little brain tick when she's figuring stuff out
No walking here yet. He can walk from one thing to another but lacks confidence. He can walk but chooses to crawl lol. I catch him sometimes and as soon as he notices me watching he drops to his bum and starts crawling. Teething like crazy at the moment. Popping a whole heap.
Being at day care 4 days a week I feel like he is constantly sick but today he seems to be well. And its lovely when he is healthy. He is awesome all the time but even more awesome when he is feeling good.
vic, hopefully all these daycare bugs are helping build a strong immune system for later in life?! DD has been unwell more often than my boys were when they were younger, which is of course due to the boys bringing the bugs home from school. Both boys had head lice recently too - thank goodness DD managed to escape that one.
DD seems a bit under the weather today. Has a bit of a temp and just not her usual chirpy self. Poor love. She's back in bed now, hopefully wakes feeling a bit better.
His birthday was last week but we had a family thing yesterday to celebrate. He coped quite well considering he skipped his arvo nap. Got spoiled with way too many toys that I've had to put some away for later/regifting... I just don't have the room. It was a nice (but exhausting day) & he had fun which is what I wanted. : )
How is everyone? We ended up with another viral infection after his party... the rash appeared a couple days after his party. Then a couple of days ago I got the rash! Luckily it was just mild for me & not on my face, the little guy had it everywhere & quite inflamed on his face. Had a couple of sleepless nights bc he couldn't get comfortable, flip-flopped all night, think his cheeks must've been itchy. It's still there but fading now. He was ok, just quite sensitive & quick to grizzle. Went back to feeding twice overnight while he was sick though, so I'm quite tired. He hasn't been feeding overnight for the past month really, waking but not feeding. Anyway, seems better as of yesterday so that's a relief. We also had an appt about his testicles (apparently sitting quite high), but specialist checked him out & said he's normal. Very relieved bc mchn & gp weren't sure if he'd have to have minor surgery. Appt was at royal chn's & walking around it made me feel very grateful to have my beautiful, healthy baby boy. Got chatting to one mum whose baby was born at 25 weeks & had health issues etc. I couldn't even imagine the stress & worry. Anyway, reminded me to appreciate how lucky I am. : )
So sorry to hear about your bubs Andie. I hope he recovers quickly. And yes we are all so lucky to have bubbas that are happy, healthy and growing as they should.
Peeks - I see your nearly 20 weeks. Are you going to find out again this time what your having???
AFM - Things are going well. Jack cruised through his immunisations thank god! I was all prepared for a crap weekend but all good. It was the first weekend in ages that he has been so happy and good. We had a professional photo shoot over the weekend. So many cute photos to choose from.
My scan is in 2 weeks, hoping to find out Not fussed either way, but I don't like surprises I had started to pass on DD's clothes she had outgrown, but soon as I got my BFP I quickly stopped that! I really need to sort them out, but holding off until after my scan.
Glad the imms went well, vic. We haven't done the 12mth ones yet. Awesome you had a pro photo shoot! Did Jack cooperate?
Hope everyone is going well. We've had a few unsettled nights with DD teething. She is still in our bedroom, and I'm not sure when/if to move her. Might get a bit crowded when the baby comes! DD is into everything. Pulls all the mugs and glasses out of the cupboards etc. I tried for a couple of weeks of using a stern "no!" and moving her away, but over the weekend I ended up threading and knotting elastic through the door handles to keep them closed. My sanity just couldn't handle it anymore lol. Went to my parents house for dinner on Saturday night and spent the most part hovering over her as they have so many breakables at child level. Please let this stage pass quickly!
hey, peeks - i know what you mean about them being in to everything! my ds has a very keen eye for something that has been left at his level that he is not supposed to have... he gets this cheeky look on his face and looks right at me, then practically runs over to wherever it is. its actually quite funny, but tiring too. our ds is still in our room too... i guess i should move him but he is still waking 1-2 times a night, not feeding - just waking. daytime naps have been really hard too now... he fights them for about 40 mins, then sleeps for 40 mins. arghhhh! i tried just giving him 1 nap per day, but he didn't cope with that. ive noticed he's been quite cuddly, coming over to me & putting his head on my shoulder for a few seconds, then off he goes again. this is quite substantial for my little guy bc he never stays still for 1 second!
have you had your scan yet?!
Peeks, I know what you mean with little hands touching everything!
Andie, is it easy to get him back to sleep when he wakes overnight? DD does the same cheekyness when she sees me coming to take something away from her, so cute though
Vic, glad Jack was good for his needles. I keep hearing from people that this age is the best so may think of getting some photos done too
Our house is sick at the moment. DD had a fever yesterday, but seems ok today. But I have woken this morning with the flu I think. Aches and pains, cold barely get out of bed. She had her vaccinations last week and she was fine. Her molars have just come through last week, explains a bit of irritability lately. I really am so happy with her, she is always happy to play, loves daycare, loves to 'do it herself'. She makes me smile every day
tasha - sometimes it's easy to get him back to sleep, other nights no. It's really a mixed bag atm. If its after 4/5am I just bring him in bed with us. Although he takes forever getting to sleep then too, touching my face, patting my eyebrows/hair etc. it's incredibly sweet, but GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!! he's just too cute for his own good. : )
your dd sounds adorable, it really is a special age. I know we all keep saying that about every age/stage... ; )
I need to get the 12 mth vaccinations done too, good to hear your dd was ok with them. I hope you get well soon, being sick & looking after babies is not fun. :-/
