Hi ladies,

Just a quick post to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season.

Jessey, I hope things get better for your soon hun. I'm not sure what's going on with your family but it doesn't sound fun. Keep up the good job of raising two beautiful little girls!

Dr Tal - go B! He's such a clever little fellow! Maybe he'll crawl properly for the first time on xmas day as a present for you and DH.

Delph - sounds like you guys are doing so well with gumnut. Your DH sounds amazing too, I wish I was organized enough to make my partner lunch in the mornings!

Salad - Good work E! Ever since T got the back to belly roll figured out, he doesn't want to stay on his back. He'll roll over to his tummy almost as soon as you put him on his back. And if you put him on his tummy, he stays there! I'm not sure whether he's forgotten how to roll the other way or what. You'll have to let me know if you find a similar thing with E.

OP - hi! Hope you and your family are well.

AFU - I only tried solids for a few days a while ago then decided I'd wait and try again later. I gave him some steamed carrot and potato sticks last night (I'm going to try the baby led solids approach). He had a tiny bit, wasn't really interested. I don't think it was a good time - he was acting tired even though it didn't seem like he'd been awake long since his last nap.

Question to everyone: are your bubs in forward facing car seats now? If so, when did you move them? We put T's new seat in yesterday and so far so good. He loves being able to see us in the front seat and watch stuff go by. He even went to sleep on a short trip home yesterday!

I swear T just said hello to me!

So I don't think T has cracked the 7kg yet!!! I feel like he hasn't grown for ages, even though he feels heavier. It could just be our dodgy way of measuring him. He looks healthy, but his sleep overnight is absolutely terrible. He is waking up every hour or two still. I wonder if it's my milk or if it has something to do with the fact that he's feeding when he's tired so doesn't get enough before he goes to sleep. Or maybe he's just in a terrible habit with the waking up all the time??? I'm so tired!
