Aww all our other replies got lost..... How is everyone?

Were all ok here, a bit stressed financially but the girls are going GREAT.
Z is enjoying her food (hopefully that means when she's weighed next mth the new MCHN wont have anything to worry about), is chatting along and making all sorts of noises, she mumbles dadadad and sometimes i swear mumumum... her and ava have raspberry blowing competitions and spend about 20min giggling at each other.
She's clapping and likes to stand up against the toys now rather than sit down, she's trying to pull herself up but can't quite get there yet.

She still refuses to roll around on the floor she prefers to sit or stand at the toys, i give her belly time but she doesn't look like crawling any time soon.. i'm not too worried ava was the same and started crawling at 10mths, boy i can't wait for that day.. then Z might be less sooky cos she can follow me around.

She's getting better at going to other people but still not 100% if i leave the room if she;s not comfortable, she has 2 teeth now, 1 is through and you can see it clearly, the other just has the tiniest point through.

Well i guess thats enough from me.. hope everyone is well..

ZF: I hope everything is going ok hun. The raspberry blowing is so cute! Josh & Amelia do that all the time.

Amelia is commando crawling, pulling herself up on her knees, not quite getting into a sitting possy by herself yet, gets half way there and looks like she's posing as a swimsuit model She has 1 tooth and another on the way. She's got her very first cold at the moment got it from Josh (as did I), they have both been pretty sick with snotty noses, coughs and gunky eyes and are now on antibiotics She's been breastfeeding extra because she's sick which is a bit tiring. The most scary thing was she had a couple of nosebleeds! Totally freaked me out so I called Health Direct and they said doesn't sound too bad and is most likely due to her nose being all sensitive from the cold and snot. If she keeps spontaneously getting them, then I need to get her checked out. Fingers crossed that's the last we see of a nosebleed.

She is catching up on the weight as well and had a bit of a spurt over the last month. She's 6.53kg a couple of weeks ago and is now back on the chart I can't believe they are growing up so fast! I've started to think about what theme to do her first birthday party! Being on New Years Day, I am hoping to make it a good one!

Hey ladies

Sounds like everyones bubs are doing really well.

ZF - i hope the finacial stuff sorts out for you!

Eluned - Geez those nosebleeds would have been scary! I hope they dont happen to often and she grows out of it

Illeyena - What a horrible lady! Hope you guys didnt all get gastro.

AFM - DS Is getting tooth number 6, is crawling flat out and pulling himself up on things his latest thing is trying to walk when we are holding him. He is doing well on solids still likes to feed himself so isnt have a great deal unless i spoon feed him some so we have found a happy medium there.

How is everyones little ones on drinking water from a sippy?

[jenjams]

Awww ZF-We hope everything works out for you. Your girls are doing beautifully!

Eluned- I hope the colds go fairly quickly and do not get any of you down

Yay Minny- Go little bou go. 6 teeth? WOW!

Well DD2 is not near anything like your little ones. She loves being on her tummy but only goes around in circles. She pushes herself backwards wen she feels like it which isnt often. No teeth here and nowhere near getting onto her knees. I am in no hurry I guess. Having 2 running around will be a battle!
We had our 8 month MCHN visit the other day. She is just over 8kg, average height and a huge head! The MCHN is happy with her development so all good.
Food is going well. She gives most things I give her a go. She wont drink water out of a sippy cup but will out of a bottle and she is fully b/f!

Well that's us. DD1 has the most horrendous tantrums so it can be quite exhausting by the end of the day. I feel like I am in a bit of a rut at the moment too. I have lost myself a little but I am doing an online creative writing course now and are learning to play golf so hopefully that will help.

Sooooo annoyed - I finally got time to post and my post was lost in the server change! Sigh... can't even remember what I wrote now.

We are going well. DS had his six month check up yesterday and is now almost 8.2kg. He is average length and also has a big head! He sits very well and can get around on the floor by pivoting and rolling, and he has just started doing this funny bum jump thing where he jumps along on his bum while sitting! It looks really funny but it works and it gets him where he wants to go so he is pretty happy with himself! I don't think he is even close to crawling yet. He still eats like a champ and is a happy little boy. He still likes one or two night feeds which is a bit of a pain but he sleeps well other than that.

jen - I know the feeling. It can be hard remembering who you were before children and I also find myself feeling 'lost' sometimes. I am glad that you have started doing something for yourself, it is important to do something like that. Sorry to hear about DD1's tanties - we are having a few of those around here too.

Hi everyone else, sorry, no time for any more but I will pop back in again soon

[tracehb]

Hi everyone, I have been popping in every now and then but never get to fully catch up before I have to go and do something else or fall asleep at night cause I am so tired.

I'm going to try and catch up properly now while Maddie is in her Jolly Jumper but sometimes she is happy in there for ages and other times she gets bored so we'll see how we go, lol.

We are going OK apart from some teething troubles. We had 3 weeks where she was waking multiple times in the night, I finally started giving her nurofen and Brauers teething relief and that helped a lot but I didnt want to give her drugs all the time so I got an Amber teething necklace as well. The first night she wore it she slept all night without waking at all and was sooooo happy the next day I thought they must be magic but the next night she woke again a couple of times but she did resettle herself quite quickly which was good. I think tonight will be night 4 and the last 3 nights have been the best we have had in the last 3 weeks but the teeth are also fully through the gums now so not sure if it was the necklace or if we were already past the worst of it but hey the necklace looks cute on her.

Ok going to have a quick read back

[feeb]

ZF hope finacial stuff sorts it self out good luck! My boys giggle and bow rasberries together too very cute!

Eluend wow sounds like you have a moover on your hands!! What themes are you thinking?

Minny wow lots of teeth and crawling!!! DS2 tips sippy cut upside down and makes a mess not ken on drinking!

Jenjams my DS1 having tantrums too and DS2 not doing much either!

Bun night feeds are hard work at times

tracehb bugger about teething hope things settle for you.

As for us DS2 had MCHN appt today 8670 grams and 71cm tall, he hates his tummy rolls onto back as soon as I put him down! He sits up has done for a long time now, he has only in last 2 weeks been interested in solids!! As for sleep he will not sleep in cot!! During day its pram if out or on my knee grrr at night will only co sleep. Still tandem BF, I have some days I get annoyed and want to stop DS1 but so cute when he climbs on knee saying boobie and lifting my top! DS2 has no teeth yet, but as DS1 did acting like teething for ages!

[QUOTE=jenjams;2393106]

Trace- Hmmmm how many Jovi concerts are you going to here in Oz? I think Maddie has no choice in her music tastes does she? How is she going with her sleeping in her cot?

Hahaha I'm going to 7 concerts, 2 in New Zealand and 5 in Oz December is going to be crazy!

I'm on facebook under Kylie Kellalea-Maynard

Just added you

If anyone wants to add me, I'm on there under Tracy Hamilton-Beehag.

my son never rolled ... he sat at 5 months and crawled around 8 months but not once did he roll. he's 10 years old now and the only rolling he does is his eyes haha

Hahahahaha this made me laugh! Maddie wont roll either. She can do it but doesnt do it very often. I have been trying to give her more tummy time but she just grizzles when she is on her tummy now, before she used to love it but now she is back to preferring to lay on her back or sit up.

Teagz that sounds scary about Jacksons fontelle closing up. I'm glad its all OK though.

Bun hope you are feeling better now. Thats funny about your little one grabbing food outta your mouth. Maddie stares at me when I am eating so I have started offering her some of it, if its safe for her to eat but most of the time she just squishes it and chucks it on the floor.....lol. This morning I was having banana bread and she was staring so I gave her some and she just squished it so that will be the last time I share my banana bread with her, lol. She eats all of her food that I feed to her though and she has had some vegemite on an english muffin that she ate a little bit of.

Zarava how is Z doing now with the allergies, can she try new foods now?

Jenjams I know what you mean about feeling a bit lost, I feel a bit the same too and feel like I never get any time for myself or if I do its limited and I am still worry about Maddie. I really miss my friends and family in Adelaide and really wish I had a bit more support other than just hubby. I told him the other day that I wanted to move back to adelaide and he freaked out but on the plus side he had picked up his game a bit and been a bit more supportive so thats good.

Anyway I better go Maddie has been an angel in her jolly jumper for over an hour so I better go get her some dinner and start the night time routine
