December 2008 Mummies
- Thread starter Pyrrhic
- Start date
Simon is still biting my nipple during breastfeeding. It's very hard, but I have managed to still love him. Rotten baby.
Otherwise, he is quite delightful and keeping me very busy.
Hey, TTC plans seem to keep cropping up in various threads. Any of us Dec Mummies planning to try again anytime soon?

Hi everyone
No plans for TTC here for a good while yet!!
May is good, trying very hard to crawl but she cant keep her front end and back end up at the same time yet bless her. Still not sitting on her own, seems more interested in moving!!
How many crawlers and sitters do we have now??

Simon sits really well and is currently astounding me by how determined he is to crawl. He keeps doing the push-up position and is up on all fours, but hasn't quite figured out how to move around up there yet. I was saying end of this month for crawling, but right now I'm guessing it will be sooner. He wants to MOVE!! 
Oh my god, I have to get the baby-proofing started yesterday!

I would love to TTC just now, and I know OH would in a heartbeat but there are a lot of obstacles.
Niamh is sitting, and rolling but nowhere near crawling She tries to bring her back legs underneath her but gets really frustrated that she can't do it yet

Claire can sit now, and roll over from back to tummy, then back again. Now she likes to sleep on her tummy and even though I know that if she puts herself there it's all good, it's still scary to me. 
She can also pull herself back up if she falls forward, and can suck her toes. It all happened in like a matter of 2 days between all of them, hilarious. She's awesome, and I love her SO much!
Other than that, not much new. Definitely not TTC, I want one out of diapers before I have the next... if I even want another one that is.

hey girls
everything is good here, We have our first tooth which cut one day last week!!
Annabelle is rolling from front to back and back to front so so very happy with that, she cant crawl yet, she doesnt make a great deal of effort in trying to get on all 4s just yet but does manage to get herself around the living room.
TTC plans for us are possibly this time next year, Annabelle took 2 years to concieve i dont want to leave it that long to start trying in case it takes that long again.
when are you girls all returning to work? is it soon? im still off until january yet but it already fills me with dread to return

Well done Claire! The foot sucking is so funny isn't it? May very nearly crawled today, she does like an army crawl thing where her front is up and her back end is dragging along! She keeps head butting the floor though when she tries and we have had some screaming as a result!! Still cant sit on her own but doesn't seem interested in that at all.
I have nightmare teething cranky baby back too - May seems to be getting the fang shaped teeth at the top now and they are REALLY bad....she isn't sleeping well at all and is trying to be happy but ends up being a grump a lot of the day....come on teeth!!!
I am back at work in August - only going back part time for now though and have family to help so no nursery for May. I will miss her like mad but I guess it will be good for us both to do other things.

Awww, that sounds so cute what May is doing for crawling!!! 
Claire's the same, she gets really mad when she gets tired and her head hits the carpet, lmao. The best way I can describe her 'crawling' is like she's pushing her head around the floor!
I *think* she might be teething. I can't feel anything in her mouth but she's drooling 10 times as worse before and has the flushed cheeks. Hmm, time will tell!

Simon is now officially crawling, too. He also gets tired and frustrated and just flops down and kicks all his limbs and yells. He sounds a lot like his dad when we're driving in bad traffic, funnily enough!
Top front incisor hasn't shown yet, but the hole is there so it will be out soon. As Simon is still biting during breastfeeding, the arrival of the top teeth may be the end of BF. So sad to think that, but I will not take the chance biting with top and bottom teeth. It hurts enough with just the two bottom ones. He'll bite a chunk out of me if he has both sets. We'll see how it goes, but I'm not optimistic. Naughty baby!

Congrats again Brockie!
Niamh isn't crawling yet either. She's pulling herself right up when on her tummy though. I think she'll be a late starter.
This is such a brilliant age though
Yesterday she learnt a new smile where she squeezes both her eyes shut and shows bith gums in a huge grin. It is totally adorable!
Can't believe our babies are 8 months this month!

Claire isn't crawling either. She's up on all fours and rocking back and forth, with quite a bit of vigor!!!
She just hasn't grasped that in order to move, she needs to keep both ends up, She'll move her feet, but then her head goes down, or she moves her arms and her butt goes down. As much as I really adore crawling babies and I am so excited for that milestone, it takes a stronger vigil! I kind of like that she stays put for the most part atm... although she does make her way around the room! She'll do a combo of rolling, stretching and shimmying.
No teeth yet, either.

Huge congrats, Brockie!
Simon is so sweet right now I could easily do another, but I think I'll still wait just a little longer so that I can squeeze a year of work and full income in between babes. The thought of going back to work full-time in December seems incredibly strange - like another life.
Simon is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up on everything, stable or not. Constant vigilance is indeed my new paradigm. He is capable of getting himself into serious trouble very quickly.
On the other hand, what a world it is for a fresh pair of eyes! It is amazing how fun it can be just to hang out with him and observe his discoveries. Almost eight months and what a difference my boy has made to my life - astounding!
