Hi everyone,

Looks like our little ones are doing so well!! I can't believe DD is almost 1 either. She's like entirely different little person from this tiny red bub I held almost 10 months a go!

Grace has 6 teeth and no 7 is coming soon! She babbles all the time, she says papapa and mamama, crawls everywhere, kneels, and sometimes pulls herself up. She enjoys assisted walking but hasn't stand up on her own yet. She still doesn't roll over though she knows how. She'll wait until I help her

She's started waving bye bye and loves watching herself in the mirror. One day she found a piece of tissue and bit the corner so most of the tissue hanging like beard. And she laughed like crazy seeing her own reflection. Oh, such a treat for mummy!

Have a good long weekend everyone!

Grace is sooo cute!

This morning Tristan got weighed, at 10 months (+ 8days *giggle*) he weighs in at 7260 grams (up 220 grams in a month) he is now 70.5cms long (up 3cms in a month) and his head circumference is now 44.5cms.

For weight he is still WELL below the charts, for height he is back up to just above the 10th %ile and for head circ he is now just above the 10th %ile.

We discussed some options and rather than see a paed we are going to see a dietician first. I have some things to fill out including a food diary.
He has also been referred onto one-on-one speech as apart from the very random very rare "mum-mum" he is not babbling or making any noises.

Discussed Brendan's behavioural issues and CHN is going to get onto Brendan's new OT for me. But she said it's probably best to wait for the paed appt for now, which is in 2 weeks.She said he will probably need to see a gastroenterologist. I got myself referred to physio too, not sure on the wait, but hey it's free! So all up it was a constructive appointment, I'm very pleased with Tristan coming back up the graph for height and head circumference, just hoping his weight will follow soon too.

OMG Toby has cut his first tooth! about time lol
he had the most biggest lump last night, then this morning you can see a line of his clearish white tooth just starting to pop through!
also he loves to clap now, its not just a one off thing he does it all the time, and he is moving the walker about which its tough to move specially on carpet so he building his muscles up lol

[Early Kids]

WooHoo go Tobias!

[ashie]

so proud! he does sit up if he is watching telly but when he takes his eyes off it and wants to do something thats when he flops lol, i knew he can do things he's just a cubby lazy bub, but it runs in the genes sister in law was saying her boy didnt sit up or anything until after one too chubby and lazy lol, just so happy to know my instincts are right and know that people downing him are wrong, and that doctors knew i was right too, makes me happy knowing i am doing right for my kids and now maybe i might not be hasseled so much lol

[Early Kids]

*HUGE MUMMY BRAG*

Tristan is now walking along behind things!! Yesterday he did it at the CHN office and today he pushed a few things around I finally caught him on video too!! I uploaded it to facebook, so PM me if you want to see it (we don't need to be friends, I made it so everyone can view it. I just didn't want to post a link here)

Can't believe how quick he is doing things, it's surreal. He is 10m 1w 2d old or 9 months corrected (exactly). Sticking right to the top of the %ile graph for gross motor skills

Hi ladies,

Been a long time since I've been on here. Everyone is going so well.

Noah has been driving me CRAZY today! He hasn't had much sleep and was so tired, but he's also started chucking temper tantrums when he doesn't get his own way. Tonight I was trying to feed him and he ate half his dinner then started trying to grab the spoon. When I wouldn't let him have it he just cried and screamed and refused to eat!!! So eventually I gave him a spoon and let him try and feed himself. I snuck some spoonfuls in while he was playing around. Sometimes he'd notice me putting food in his mouth and so he'd spit it out and scream and cry again!!!! Little punk! Eventually I just gave up and let him play with the food. It was seriously driving me crazy. Is anyone elses child doing this or just my little brat!

[volcomkitty]

Tara, I'm feeling your frustration! Sophie was going really well with her solids, but the last 2 or 3 weeks trying to get her to eat more than a few mouthfuls at a time is a challenge. Dinner is the most trying meal at the moment. Most of the time she flat out refuses what we give her or throws it on the floor - much to the delight of the dogs aka the cleanup crew who are usually watching through the screen door! Or there's the I don't like the way it feels incidents or the I'll have a chew but then try and pull it all back out of my mouth. Argh!

I thought it might be teeth related at first, but now I'm just putting it down to her being a fussy cow really lol.

Hi Girls, My son Leon will be eleven months on 18th May 2010. He is also seeing a dietician as he only weighs 7.69 kg and is 69 cm long. He started out 8 pounds 12 ounces (3980 grams). The pediatrician has done tests and nothing has been found to be wrong. He is just a very busy boy. He wakes up around 7.00 am and he doesn't go back to sleep till 7.30 pm. He sometimes has a 20 minute nap in the morning and afternoon. The rest of the time he is on the go. So off we went to the dietician and he has to put cream and cheese in his food to try to get some weigh on him. His bottles have also been made richer and he has morning and afternoon tea. I am also dealing with him spitting his food out and playing with it. Must go the boy is crying. Regards Eloise.

[baby09]

Eloise - Leon sounds just like my DD. She wakes up around 5.30 and if I'm lucky we will get an extra hour sleep if I bring her in bed with me, then she is on the go til she goes to sleep around 7.30. Occasionally she will have a half hour nap in the morning and/or afternoon or will sleep if we go for a walk or a drive. I think she weighs around 9kg and is about 75cm long - haven't had her weighed since her 8mth MCHN appt!

Hope everyone is going well and enjoyed mother's day!

tobias is doing alot better he Is sitting up but the problem is when he has had enough he doesnt just rolled over or anything he flings himself back and will move the pillows away before he does, so i cant leave him like that but walker wise he is moving forwards alot and cause he so tall he can stand up without the walker supporting him but when ya catch him he will sit back down lol, he can do so much and i just wish he would keep doing them without being shy or what ever is bothering him. he is rocking on his knee's too another good thing too!
food wise no lumps still, hates them but my oldest was the same reffertys 6 months + vegies and heinz custards is all he wil eat, getting him onto pumpkin spinich and ricotta but he is slowly taking to it hasnt choked badly but being such a worry wart i wont let it get that far, lincoln used to choke badly and just the thought of anything happening to them scares the hell out of me, i wish i could be a brave mummy lmao.
saw doctor on friday he's happy with toby and said he's just lazy, his size does amaze him cause he started out 8lb 12 and half oz and now 11kg or just over, and his reflux has been settling down abit no throwing up as much so he is very pleased doing everything right and just to let him do things in his own time, and to stop listening to the people picking on him. doctor said very healthy happy baby should be proud of ourselves. toby doesnt really nap either only cat naps here or there, other days when he has woken up tired he will sleep a couple of hrs but my older son never sleeps so no naps for me

[volcomkitty]

I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to sleep past 5.30am. Both DH and I get up for work at that time, and Sophie has decided to make that her wake up time as well. So thoughtful of her to align her body clock with ours

Ok, I'm going to quickly have my first official Mummy brag...

Sophie is officially a walker! Since Sunday morning I've only seen her crawl maybe 4 times, only after she's fallen on her bottom and wants to get somewhere fast.

[Early Kids]

Hi Eloise, welcome!! There isn't much between our boys Tristan is 7.2kg and 70cms (was 3090 born and 50cms) e's starting to see a dietician too, which I don't see the need for but anyhoo...

Tristan has 6 teeth now

And today he was discharged from physio!!

I'll BBS for personals, dinner time!!

[baby09]

erin woo-hoo sophie! DD took 2 steps on her own yesterday but seems happy holding on to the couch and walking that way or crawling. She was showing off a bit last night to DH, holding a drink in one hand, the other on the playpen and walking towards him.

sally great news about Tristan being discharged from physio!

how are first birthday plans going? We are now going to have a bbq at home, will be interesting having a barbie in the middle of a Melbourne winter.....

[volcomkitty]

She was showing off a bit last night to DH, holding a drink in one hand, the other on the playpen and walking towards him.

Lol, sounds like a "Hey Daddy, you seeing this? Yeah, you know I'm tricky!" kinda moment.

The 1st Birthday's are getting too close, too fast! We'll more than likely end up having a bbq at home too for Sophie's. I probably should get my act together and organise it...ah, next week sounds good...
DH and I are stuck on ideas for presents though. I think I'm going to request that Grandparents don't buy her toys, (especially not stuffed animals, her room is a zoo!) and suggest books instead.

Hi everyone,

Haven't been in the forum for a while, busy adjusting work/baby/home as I am know back to work fulltime. Grace has been in day for the past 1 month and hates it She barely eats and also fell sick last week, we decided to move her to another day care starting next week. Let's see how it goes.

Grace has been standing when holding on to things for a while now, but not actually standing on her own. She's ok with solids, always grabs the spoon and bang it to the bowl. She becomes very clingy recently and throws tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants - showing her true self already

Birthday party - maybe pizza and pasta as backyard not big enough for barbie and the parks will be too cold at this wheather. Any idea for birthday bag for the kids?

Guess what - I think no 2 is coming...missing AF for almost 2 weeks and I just returned to work

Have a nice long weekend everyone..

Rachel
