Z is pulling herself up on things and was 'bath surfing' last night, holding the edge and walking around, she will also walk with me holding her hands.. maybe she's going to skip crawling?
She goes from sitting to on her knees and is somehow getting around by shuffling everywhere but it's not at pace and she's still very frustrated... i wish she'd just crawl already...
A didn't crawl til 10mths so no idea why i'm so impatient this time round.. pmsl.
Good morning everyone. It's been awhile since I have been in here....
Well DD2 is now finally doing her own way of getting around. It is a perculiar comando crawl. She sort of drags herself around the floor with one arm and leg. She is sort of getting onto her knees but at least she is not as frustrated by being mobile now. We still only have two teeth. I reckon in the last week she has had a developmental change. She now has a few more facial expressions and can wave etc. She is a chatterbox who will say bubba and dadda regularly and also has started to mimic our sounds too. I guess thats all here!
Hey girls, we're going good! Still plodding along but a bit quicker. Jack is really crawling now, has been for awhile and looks like a little bulldog when he does. It's the cutest thing! He gets some speed up too. He is also walking along furniture and just started climbing, namely the dogs bed. He's also really into opening and closing anything in the house that can open and close! I've been shut in the pantry And my cupboard a few times now!
Jacks also clapping, he plays "where's Jackson" by covering his face with his hands/bib/shirt and then surprising us he will also use anything as a phone when you go "hello hello hello" ( been watching daddy to much) and my fave, when you say "Doh" he slaps his hand to his foreheAd! Gosh it's cute! He's got 7 teeth now too, and one that's still trying to make it's mind up.
We are finally getting solids down now... Especially dinner. He loves his tea and gets quite demanding with it! Still loving his booby too, especially the last few nights where he's been waking 2-3 hourly for it! Hopefully that settles again soon tho.
So, we're all cruising along quite well over here! Hope everyone else is too!
jenjams - yay for getting around, it's brilliant isn't it.
Z is finally getting herself along the floor with this weird crawl (vid on FB) and is actually happy for me to leave her alone in a room now without screaming
At the moment she's saying Mum, Dad, Ahhhhh (when she's looking for Ava), jahhh or ack ( jack 1 of our dogs), PaPa and last night she started saying nan nan
She's having about 3-4 bf's a day and is LOVING solids, she would eat all day if i'd let her.
Allergy stuff seems to be going ok, am watching everything we give her, have had stickers made up for when we go out in public and she's enjoying lots of fresh fruit and home cooked meals
She's got 2 teeth with 1 top one cutting now aswell and about 4 other top ones clearly seen in the gum
Yay TEAGZ for the solids, little Jackson is such a cutie, i love the vids and pics of him
everyone, how are we all?
It's been pretty quiet in here lately.
Zara cut 4 teeth in a week so now she has 6, she's still doing her weird lil butt shuffle everywhere but is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and took a couple of steps behind A's old walker bike.
We have 4 stairs down into our lounge room, i have been putting a stroller at the top so she can't get down until we buy a gate and she's only been sitting on the floor sooking at me when she's in the lounge if i'm not... well lil miss smarty pants CAN CLIMB THE STAIRS
I was in the laundry and could hear her sooking, thought will finish this and go check on her, then i thought she sounds a bit closer, i walk out and she's in the hallway
So i have watched her do it, she's actually quite quick, might try and get it on vid and pop it on FB.
So far the allergy stuff isn't being too hard, just making sure others don't feed her is an issue, otherwise she's eating HEAPS and talking more, she now says NO.. it's so cute.
Hope everyone else is well, what are all the gorgeous LO's up to?
Dammit, I had lost my subscription to this thread and was wondering the other day what was happening with everyone!
ZF, you certainly do have courageous babies there! I bet your heart is getting a good workout!
I can't believe that Amelia is 10 and a half months already! Where has the year gone??! I've started to think about her birthday. We'll do a birthday party at home on New Years Day. Would you believe I had a friend say to me yesterday why on earth would I do it on New Years Day?! Erm, because it's her birthday?!! Plus it's a public holiday and everyone is likely to be free! Der! So, anyway, I'm going to make her a toadstool fairy house cake (as in the Womens Weekly cake cookbook ) and just have a fairy garden type theme I think. Will do it late afternoon in case it's a hot day so may be cooler by the afternoon and gives people a chance to do whatever they want beforehand.
Amelia is always on the move. She's now cruising the furniture and pushes herself along on the pusher/walker toy thing that DS use to play with. She is a really big mummy's girl and is always hanging off my legs when I'm cooking or trying to clean. She's still little, I weighed her yesterday at 7.44kg which puts her on the 3rd %ile on those charts and she's still going along on that curve. I think the dietician was hoping she'd hop back up to the 25th line but I doubt that's gonna happen any time soon.
We're still feeding heaps - 4-5 breasfeeds during the day and 1-2 overnight, alot of comfort sucking during the night sometimes too. She has 3 solid meals a day plus snacks. I'm surprised she isn't a big boofa!
All in all, it's all good and I hope everyone and their bubbas are going well too! xox
We are plodding along here too. So DD2... Well she has now progressed to doing a weird style of commando crawl. We call it the wounded soldier crawl. It works for her I guess! She has been doing it for a few weeks and is starting to stand up too. She eats well. 3 Solid meals a day. We have 3 breastfeeds during the day and if she wakes at night she will have another one. She is a happy little girl too. Always has a smile. Oh and very very chatty at the moment. She waves and claps. She has had a big develpomental change in the last few weeks!
My god they are one so very soon.
Phew - i'm actually relieved to hear that some of the bigger kids are a bit cheeky and rough with the little ones. I thought it was just mine!
minny, DS2 is awake at least twice at night. He sleeps from about 7.30 until 6 (when the house gets noisey) and he wakes usually once at about midnight and once again a few hours later. Not too bad I reckon, but a big change for me seeing as DS1 slept through from 6 months old. Ahhh, bliss
ZF - swings, that's a fab idea. We only have one fisher price type one, so I think a double swing is the go. Maybe they can have a new pool too. Their one is a bit little for two.
PO5 - they sound just like my two! DD can be quite nice and gentle with DS but other times she is horrid and will hit him, sometimes on her way walking past him and for no reason at all! But DS also gets his own back by grabbing her hair - he has had her pinned down several times and all she can do is call to me for help! I must be a mean Mummy - I think it's funny!
DS is doing great, he still only has two teeth but he is into EVERYTHING!!! He crawls soooo fast now and climbs on everything - I can hardly keep up with him! He still wakes at least once a night and sometimes up to four times grrrr. It seems I was not blessed with good sleepers as DD was the same. Other than that he is going great though. He loves his food and has a lovely little nature - very smiley and happy all the time, although he has hit bad separation anxiety and won't go to anyone other than DH and I.
I can hardly believe our little ones are nearly one!
Just quickly popping in... I have been lurking ^^; Seems everyone is going great! Can't beleive all our little babies are going to be 1 soon *sniff sniff*
We're all going good! Jack is into everything as they all seem to be, and is starting to find his feet. I'm excited and nervous all at once! DH seems to think he'll be walking by christmas but I'm not sure... He's a litte unsure when it comes to taking steps still... but we will see in good time I guess!
We are starting to get somewhere with sleep. Once 8 o'clock hits we have been going into his room, in the dark and quiet with no distractions and we both stay in there til he goes to sleep. Whether it be by booby or cuddles, I don't care ><; He is usually out by 8.30 but I'm aiming for have him go to sleep at 8. Mind you 8.30 is a damn site better than his 10 oclock bedtime he was making for himself! When we get him off to sleep this way, he usually only wakes up once at night for a max of 20 minutes and will sleep thru til 8-8.30 in the morning. I like it, it works for me, as it would XD
Well I best be off, I'm at work Not much work is happening
