Everyone's babies are so cute I love all these 3 month pics! DHBH you do your own photos right? They are fantastic.
Vayda has by passed 3-6 month clothes and is now in 6 month clothes she weighs 14 lbs! I just got over a horrible bout of food poisoning which I've never experienced until now. I lost 7 lbs and my milk supply plummeted. Luckily it has come back almost to where it was before I got sick. And thanks to those 7 lbs I'm now below my prepregnancy weight by 3 lbs! I wouldn't suggest that as a means of weight loss though
Here is a pic of my beautiful Vayda.

Molly is 3 months (and 1 week) old! Where is the time going? 
Shes in a mixture of 0-3, 3-6 and 6-9 clothes; I guess overall she's average though.
She's sleeping better than my other kids have; she sleeps through about 70% of the time. If she doesn't she has 1 bottle at night. She's a great sleeper. My 2 year old is crazy though so don't be jealous; I'm still not sleeping much

Hi everyone :wave:
I haven't been on here in ages! All the babies are sooo cute! Its great seeing all the pics.
Muire is doing great. She is also a great sleeper thankfully. She goes down at 8:30pm and sleeps until 7-8am. She has a bottle and goes back down for another 2 hours. She feeds every 4 hours during the day and is generally a very happy little girl
She's in the 95th percentile for her height and in the 50th for her weight which basically means she is tall and skinny..she did not get this from me!! She is in 3-6 month clothes.
She is 15 weeks now, so im starting to read up on weaning and decide how we are going to go about it. Its very exciting, but a little sad in a strange way too!

Well Vayda surprised me and started rolling tummy to back last week and back to tummy this week. She is also starting to act like she is ready for solids. We didn't start Tay on those until closer to 6 months but Vayda is drinking about 32oz of breast milk and formula per day and she always seems hungry she is also making chewing motions and constantly putting everything in her mouth. Her 4 month checkup is on Monday so we will see what the dr thinks.
Here is a pic of both of my girls.

Roxy has decided in the last few days that while she can't sit herself up on her own, she can sit unsupported for a few moments if I sit her up. Why does she have to grow up!? We also had her hips checked and doc says they are completely stable, no sign of any issues at all which is fantastic news! Had her 4 month needles too, which boo, I hate putting her through it!

Hi all! How is everyone and your LO's??
Kayla is doing good, had her 4 month check up last week. She is 25 inches (75th %) and 16 lbs (90th %) so she is a big baby
she is wearing 6 & 9 month clothes. She was not a happy baby when she got her shots 
and did have a fever from it.
We made a trip up to Michigan for my grandparents to meet her, they were in love with her
She has rolled once from front to back (she still doesn't spend much time flat on her belly, I think it bothers her tummy) She has also rolled back to front a few times. She loves playing with her rattles, soft blocks, and other toys, mostly putting them in her mouth She also uses her jumperoo now, her feet don't touch the ground yet, so I put a rolled up blanket under her feet.
She is soooo loud! She has discovered her voice and all the things it can do, it's super cute She seems interested in our food, but I'm still waiting till 6 months to start her on solids of any kind. She has been spitting up more, I read it peaks at 4 months, so lots of changing hers and my shirts! Still not a great sleeper, we will sleep train her in a week or so
Loving all her smiles and giggles

DHBH I love that picture what a great expression such a happy baby!
Vayda is doing well! She is a great roller now. She has figured out that she can roll across the floor to get things the farthest she has gone is about 10 feet! Now that she is more mobile we moved her from the bassinet to her crib. She wasn't happy with the move at first so we had to sleep train. We have had great luck with the Ferber method with both of our girls. However I recommend reading his book before starting the process. There is some crying involved but it was very minimal. The first night she cried for about 30 mins total before going to sleep, the second night about 8 mins and the third night she closed her eyes within seconds of me laying her down. Now she reaches for her crib at night and is sleeping around 12 hrs without a peep occasionally she only sleeps for 10 hrs but I'm fine with that.
DHBH which sleep training method will you be using?
Vayda is also very loud! She likes to choose my older daughters nap time to be the loudest and there's no telling a 4 month old "shhh your sister is sleeping!"
Vayda loves to play on the floor with her sister, she sometimes likes her jumper but not as much as my older daughter did, she loves her sit me up seat and she sometimes likes her swing but her favorite thing is to be held so most of my day goes with a baby on my hip lol.
Vayda has just started to sit for a few seconds unassisted but sometimes she is more interested in her toes than sitting up.
We have tried to feed her solids a couple of times but she wasn't interested so we will prob wait until closer to 6 months like we did with my older daughter. I'm still pumping every 6 hrs so she drinks about 24 oz breast milk and 4 oz formula per day.
I've started running and working out again but I had to buy a one piece mommy swimsuit for this summer I'm back to pre preg weight but my stomach still looks flabby. That didn't go away for over a year after my first pregnancy I hope it doesn't take that long this time!

Aww, I love reading everyone's updates about their little ones!
Roxy is 5 months old today! I'm not sure how long she is, but she is about 7.5kg (16.5 pounds, I think?) She has been on solids for about 3 weeks and is absolutely loving it! She has breakfast and lunch everyday and will be looking at adding a dinner soon I think.
She can roll both ways now and has figured out that it is a great way to get to her favourite toys if they are out of reach! I always put a rug down to play with her on, but she often rolls herself halfway across the room and off the rug, haha.
She loves her little car walker, and goes flying backwards across the kitchen with a squeal when I put her in it while I do dishes, etc. She is only just working out that she can also come forwards in it too, haha. She's also figured out that she can get her feet in her mouth and thinks that is the single most amusing thing ever.
We moved her in to her cot in the nursery a bit over a week ago as the bassinet has a weight limit of 8kg. She has taken to it really well and sleeps from about 8.30-9 until 7.30 most nights. Occasionally she wakes at about 5 and asks for her dummy before drifting back off for another couple of hours.
Nap times on the other hand are a nightmare. She will still only nap for 30-45 minutes at a time and most of the time will wake as soon as I put her down. However, if I try to put her down awake and let her go to sleep she stays awake for hours. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do some controlled crying for naptimes.
Other than that though I really can't complain at all!!

Will is doing great! He's a little over 20 lbs now (he's far off the percent tile charts), is still exclusively breastfed (waiting for solids until 6-8 months) is constantly giggling, loves to try to crawl (he hikes up his bum and gets his knees going, but can't figure out the arm part) and loves his big sister. He is a good sleeper, though he hates going down for naps. He fights sleep like crazy, but once he's out, he's out!

Wow everyone's babies are so big! I thought Vay was big but at her 4 month appt she only weighed 14 lbs although the dr said that was the 50th percentile. She was at 75th percentile for her height at 23.5 inches. Vayda also is a terrible napper. She takes a 45 min morning nap in her crib or swing. A 30 to 45 min mid day nap and a 45 min afternoon nap. However if I hold her for her afternoon nap she will nap for 2 to 3 hours! Does anyone else's baby still have a night feeding? Vayda is a great sleeper she goes to bed in her crib around 830pm and wakes up for the day around 730am but about twice a week she wakes up for a bottle around 5am before going back to sleep.

Molly's now 4.5m and weighs 15lb. She's in size 3 nappies (diapers) and wears 6-9m clothes. She's my third baby, but my other two were petite, so this is my first experience of a "normal" baby. Molly only weighs 1lb less at 4.5m, than my last daughter did at 13m! Crazy
She has 4-5 naps per day; I don't keep track of them so I couldn't tell you how long they last. Never long enough
She usually sleeps through the night or wakes for one bottle, which again is so unlike her sisters. She's doing really well; and such a lovely baby.

Love all the pics and updates glad everyone's LOs are doing well! Can't believe how big they are all getting!
The day after I posted and mentioned that Kayla has rolled over only a couple times she started rolling back to front constantly! Funny how things change so quickly at this age
Also here she is in her jumperoo

How's everybody and their little ones doing?
Roxy is a week off 6 months old!! I can not believe that it has been that long already! She's a great night time sleeper most of the time. She got herself in to the habit of not going to bed until after 10pm, but we are slowly bringing that forward again. She goes down about 9ish now and wakes between 7.30-8.30 most mornings, sometimes with a 5am wake up for her dummy still. Her naps we are still working on, but have improved from only napping on me. I can put her down in the cot now and walk away and she generally goes straight to sleep. Getting her to stay asleep longer than half an hour is still a working progress.
She's on solids and loving a variety of different fruit and vegie purees. Starting to think of finger foods to start her on soon too. She can sit unsupported for longer and longer each day, to the point where she is no longer happy laying on her back or tummy to play, she must be sitting, haha. Oh, and she's figured out that she can blow raspberries!
We're going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment. She's teething like mad and also managed to get a bit of a cold so she is one unhappy baby. And with DH being away at work and me having to handle an often screaming baby on my own, I'm running on empty, haha.
