Catching up with you all, Gabbi's progress, time flies soooo fast!!

[charlie07]

I can't believe I've not been on for so long, time flies and after having dad here finally for a visit this month and then preparing for xmas and then losing bloody electric on and off for 2 days THEN internet going at xmas, finally I have 5 minutes to do my best and catch up with how everyone is and give a quick update on Gabbi. (Should I spell it Gabbi or Gabby?? I can't make my mind up, but it is Gabriella with 2 'L's)

Waffle waffle, good start eh!!!

Well she is now almost 3 1/2 months old and she has been sleeping through the night for almost 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We did have 2 nights where she woke at 4 am, but I realised that I hadn't uped her feed which was due, so then she went back to sleeping through once I had done. Wonderful. She gets 5 feeds still, last one being between 10 - 11, depending on the feed routine during the day. She's still terrible at going to bed in the evening, after 7, she just wants to be awake. She has been a little better the past week, 8, 8.30, 8.15, 8.20, 7.30 (happened once!!!) but before 1 week it was either 9.30 or no sleep at all which meant I was struggling to keep her awake for her last feed as she was so tired.

I no all this will go out the window once teething starts!!! She is sucking her fingers more but not really drooling much yet, but she does suck her thumb!!!!! Same one that used to, the right one, doesn't really like a dummy which I was the same! Her cradle cap has almost gone, so now she looks more bald, bless her. So like me as a baby, I was bald till I was one!!

We wish you all a Fantastic New Year and all the best for 2009!!!!

Here are a couple of pics of her from this month, oops, it was meant to be a couple!!:

Thanks. I spell it with an 'I' usually.

Forgot to say, she was weighed at the 3 month mark and she was 6.4 kgs (exactly 1 kilo more than the month before) and measured 1 cm more at 56 cm. Going to the pediat' doc in the New Year to get her checked out again as the doc and nurse we saw is the local village doc and they and the equipment date back to the early 60's I'm sure!!!

Awwwww she is a little beauty. she is big for 31/2 months xx

Thanks.

When you say big, do you mean length, weight wise, it's ok, I would really value your answer as I have no other children/babies to compare her to.

Thanks
