Hi girls! Anyone else having probs accessing BB? It doesn't seem to work for me 90% of the time!
BS - Ohhh soooo excited for you TTC!!! Good luck! And I know exactly what you mean...they're not little babies anymore. I miss him being so small and helpless, now he just does what he wants, makes as much noise as he wants...def moving into toddlerdom! I can't wait for #2 too...but I think we'll still wait a bit longer. I can't believe Eva is saying words already! Michael is nowhere near, still stuck on dadada pretty much. Tho he has been going brrrr-aaa-brrr-aaaa, which I love She sounds like she's doing sooo well! Actually Michael acted up a little when DH looked after him, refusing to eat and drink. But then he slept pretty well (as he always does when DH looks after him!). I am very happy that Michael is in daycare too...in fact, I think even if I was to stop work, I'd still send him there at least 1 day a week because he loves it. And you're spot on...I felt so much like myself again even after that first day back. I just feel better about everything now, its amazing what a difference it made for me. Haha, thats cute about the cheese cubes! Michael does that with sultanas, I'm trying to improve his pincer-grasp so I give him sultanas to try and pick up...and he does...he shoves them in one after another so he has about 6 or 7 at once! Little monkey!
Rose - oh gosh, you poor thing. I hope things get better for you health-wise. Wow, trying to stand on his own?! Thats cool! Yeah, I think he'll be walking soon for sure! yep, I"m free next thurs & fri...but Alison, you're busy thurs aren't you? Is Friday a good day for everyone?
Tilda - gosh, isn't that frustrating when people bring their sick kids where there are other kids? But as you say, hopefully all this illness is a winter thing and hopefully things will improve come summer. I found it really ahrd when I was sick and he wasn't...just not being able to kiss him, trying not to breathe on him, it was really hard. But he still got sick anyway And I have wondered if he may be wanted to drop a nap...he has been taking FOREVER to get to sleep during the day lately, like up to 45 minutes of just playing around, chatting, standing up...etc. But then yesterday he had 2 2 hour naps! And he went down pretty quick for his morning nap today. So I'mnot sure. Does anyone know when they usually drop the 2nd nap?
AFM - Had my 2nd day back at work on Monday, and first day with Michael in day care. As I suspected, it was a lot harder for me...I spent a lot of the time day dreaming, wondering what he was doing worrying whether he was sleeping, eating etc...then by the afternoon I was missing him sooo much I got all sad. But I needn't have worried. My carer said he's the happiest and most contented baby she's ever seen, he was a pure pleasure to look after, he ate great, had 2 2hour sleeps (!) and was happy just amusing himself wandering around. Phew! I just hope that continues. She said it will be interesting to see how he is when he starts understanding whats going on, with us leaving him there.
He's been getting really cheeky lately...in his room I have the change table right next to his cot...and lately (while he has been put down for his nap) he's been sticking his hands through the slats and pulling things off the change table shelf and into his cot. I felt sick to my stomach when I walked in and he was there playing with a plastic bag And *somehow* he managed to pull the clear plastic wrapping off the nappies and into his cot. How he did that I do not know. So I have put cardboard between his cot and changetable so hopefully that won't happen again. Gosh, anything could have happened with that plastic...thank goodness he was ok
AND he has started biting me!!!! I was playing with him on our bed yesterday, rolling around with him and he was happily nuzzling into my neck when he gave me a hard bite! It really hurt (he has 7 teeth with the 8th on the way)! And he did it again a few minutes later, drawing blood! I know he's only doing it cos he's happy and playing around, but it bloomin hurts and I'm scared of him biting me now.
As you prolly saw on fb, we checked in on him in his playroom...and he was walking around with his walker! I couldn't believe it! He's never looked even close to doing that before!
Oh, and we've dropped down to 3 bottle feeds a day in the hope of increasing his solid intake, which seems to have worked. Its a lot easier having only 3 feeds!
