girlies! Nice to see ya to see ya.....
All good over here. Devin is a crazy roller and follows me around the ground floor with his rolls! We stillhave a bit of baby proofing to do but it's pretty safe now to leave him in the sitting room with the door into the hallway and the other door into the kitchen open. It's a small house and is quite open so I can hear or see him from almost everywhere downstairs. Its so cute coz I leave the room and about 5 mins later he rolls in after me after a few pitstops of distraction (ie toys, fire protector thingy etc) along the way! He always looks up and beams at me as if to say - 'See I found you!!!' So cute!
He is sitting up for about 5 minutes at a time - I think the only reason he stops is coz he gets bored and wants to go rolling! Otherwise I reckon he'd stay there! He's not pulling himself into standing position yet but is quite strong when I hold him by the hands. It's funny though he has one of those Jumperoo bouncers so when he stands he tries to bounce and can't seem to figure out that he needs springs to make him jump!!! hehe!
I reckon if we had carpet floors he would be crawling by now but all our floors are wood so he gets his legs up under him and propels himself forward but his lil socks can't get enough traction on the wood floor to stabilise him properly! He'll be doing it in a matter of weeks though I think! I just love watching him develop!
He sleeps on his side jammed into the top right corner of his cot - no matter what way I put him down or where - he migrates his way up there in minutes!! At night, now that the cold has hit he sleeps in a 2.5 tog grobag. I think its on the verge of being too warm for him but his other one is 1.5 and is really too cold for him. He either sleeps in that during the day or with just a blanket or sometimes two during the day.
We are doing Waterbabies, musical tots and another class called claphandies! Then on Wednesdays we have a playdate with all the girls from our original baby massage class which is nice - we rotate around all our houses and just do a light lunch etc. And Mondays are just for me and him to hang out - he has all his naps in his own lil cot those days which I love coz it's where he sleeps the best!
Devin has two teeth! Yay! He plays with them with his tongue sometimes - OMG - love is watchin your lil one playing with his two new teeth with his tongue instead of watchin telly! I could do it for hours! Tooooooo gorgeous! We brush them now too - ie he chews his iddy biddy toothbrush for 5 mins! hehe! He got the first one on hols in Montenegro and then when we got back he caught a cold and then sprouted the second one so we had about a week of sleepless nights there between it all! Then the cold also went and he slept great for about 5 days and then on about Saturday last he started waking again and his cold flared back up -crying loud but settling once the soother went back in - great for him but not so great for his Mum 5/6/7 times a night. Poor lamb wanted his soother but then couldn't breathe through his nose properly when it was in! However last night was good again so I'm hoping he's gonna settle a bit better now. I miss my 12 hours a night sleeps!
So that's us!!
