Yeah she just started .. It's great and it's not at the same time lol..
She is growing to fast and now I have to be extra careful cause DD1 has all of her toys which are not all baby appropriate as in small parts so I have to be on an even bigger look out !!
I'm trying to remember when DD2 got teeth but I can't lol oops
Maybe a play pen kind of thing? I was just discussing this with my DH yesterday because I think dd will start crawling any day now. I cant see all of the lounge room from the rest of the house so that will suck. We don't have any older toys lying around, but we do have the dog, and all his fur!! "lol"
She can sit, but still a bit wobbly. I'm also not liking the whole trying to roll in the cot thing. I tuck the blankets in so tight so she can't lift her legs up to roll over She will just wake herself up at night if she rolls over.
Anyone still wrapping ? We have just weaned from the wrap (well arms anyway) I only wrap her torso now. last night was her first night with both arms out and she woke up twice, but she'll get the hang of it. She's fine at day sleeps.
We weaned from wrapping a few months ago , we did the one arm out then both arms . Now she is in a sleeping bag . She rolls at night and will sleep on her tummy or on her side
As soon as she started to roll I wanted to get her out of the wrap as in a wrap she wouldn't be able to roll back over iukwim .. Also as it's so hot now I didn't want her stuck wrapped up ..
It was a pretty easy transition actually , which is good ha ha ..
Hi ladies! Yay for teeth and crawling and sitting! This is such an awesome age, isn't it??
I am so excited to be celebrating Christmas with a baby in the house again. I remember our first Christmas with DS1, I was so overwhelmed (in a good way!!) about opening presents for another little person lol. I loved it I have a feeling Emily will be getting some practical items in her stocking from Santa Sippy cup, plastic spoons, etc My brother has high chair for us, so must organise picking that up from him soon too.
We've stopped wrapping as well. Emily sleeps just in whatever clothes she is wearing during the day, and has a bonds "wonder bundle" sleep sack for overnight. We only have a bottom sheet on the cot mattress, no top sheet or blankets (it's too hot!). She's fully in the cot now too, had a few concerned comments about her tipping over the bassinet if she was left it in for much longer so bit the bullet and packed it away.
I'm not too sure, but I'd rather not take the chance. I had an accident with DS1 - we always used one of those SAFE T sleep wraps with him, and one morning when I stripped the bedding off his cot, I put it in the wash too. Then later I put DS1 down for a nap and didn't put the side up and he managed to climb/fall out!! I still remember the sound of the loud thump and then him screaming Thankfully he was fine! He cried and whimpered for a little bit, then went on as usual. Took him to the doc to get checked out and he was all good. I never forgot to put the side up again after that! But it was a hard lesson to learn
Did you all have a nice Christmas? As to be expected, Emily was more interested in the wrapping paper
Not sure on weight here, Emily hasn't been weighed since her 3 month check. She's big though, bound to have shot up from the 50th percentile! I got her a cute little top from target in size 6-12mths and it was already tight the first time she wore it.
We started solids yesterday. I was going to do the baby led weaning with solids, but never got around to looking into it more, and we've been eating pretty average since the boys started holidays sooo, I went with what I know and mashed up some sweet potato. Lots of funny faces were pulled, and I think she wore more than what she ate, but it was fun! And the boys think she is sooooo clever for 'eating' and have a sippy cup with water!
How did everyone spend last night? I spent it making baby food. We had been away for xmas and my stash was low so used the time to cook uo a storm. Its a big job out of the way. Well until he eats it all
Jack is awesome. Starting to sit a little bit, no crawling yet, and we think we have heard mum a few times. Not enough to call it though He is finally sleeping unswaddled although we are using sleepy wings as his hands are still naughty lol. I put them on, he turns on his side and goes to sleep. So much nicer than rocking him. He still loves me to rock him the days he is in daycare but only for a few minutes then wriggles to go down so he can roll on his side. I think he misses me and just wants a quick snuggle. I know he should be on his back, but i cant seem to stop him. Especially having no blankets or sheets he moves all around the cot.
Christmas was great. We went away to see the relies. He was happy to be so on the go. He loves people. We turned his car seat around for the journey over but he didnt like it so we turned it back rear facing. Jack is just over 8 kilo.
Glad to hear everyones bubs are going so well. Tasha its great to see you back in here.
Hi ladies
Vic, I spent yesterday making baby food We have just started sleeping unwrapped too so she knocks her dummy out 3 or so times before drifting off to sleep! Nice to hear Jack is going well
Cinder, I'm not sure what dd weighs, but I'm guessing around 7-8 kg. I have MCHN app at the end of the month so I'm interested in her measurements.
Peeks, yay for solids I just steam stuff in the microwave steamer and then use a stick mixer to puree, too easy!
We've had a bit of a rough week at nights, think it's the teeth But last night not a peep! I feel amazing I have bonjella and baby panadol, but have heard nurofen is better for teething pain so might get some when the big teeth come in. Both her bottom front have come through, it's so cute. She is sitting up now and using her walker around the house. I just love seeing every step as she gets new skills and gets the hang of things. MIL bought her a puppy toy that you plug into the computer and personalise. It says her name and spells it out to her. You can also program it with favourite foods and colours, it's awesome
As for new years I was in bed at 11pm! What did everyone else get up to?
Tasha is that violet ? My DD1 has it is a purple dog ?
We have just started baby led solids here , DD2 fave so far is papaya pieces , baked sweet potato chunks , broccoli pieces , mango pieces and whole bananas ... She is having a lot of fun playing with her food and trying it when she wants to .. It brings back so many memories from DD1 doing BLS as well hahah .. It's such a messy fun time ..
Oh she also likes cucumber pieces cut up to suck on when they are cold from the fridge ..
We are still bf and it's going well and strong ... She weighs 6.1 kg as of weds .. She is in 000 and 00 clothes , and growing a lot length wise , hence the 00 clothes ..
News years eve we took the girls to see some fireworks that were close by near the water .. We missed them lol.. So came home , dd2 crashed and we ok DD1 outside and played with sparklers and played Jew new board games she got for Christmas
DD2 still hates hates the car and I find it she likes it better if I sit in the back on the middle of the girls lol , actually they both think that's pretty cool ha ha .. We have no plans to Turn her car seat around anytime soon , leave her rear facing for as long as we can 12+months ..
Jack sounds like he is doing great Vic
Tasha those teeth I can just imagine how cute they would he heheh
Sounds like both boys are now adjusting better with having a little sister peeks ?
