Hi girls, sorry it's been so long again
It's so overwhelming coming in here when you've been naughty and haven't updated for awhile, so much to catch up on! I can't believe how big and clever our babies are getting, seems like just yesterday that they were teeny tiny newborns
I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss those days! At the time I found them as boring as anything but I want my ickle baby back, he's getting so wriggly and fussy..
DM2 - Can't believe Hunter has a couple of teeth already, I'm sorry to hear he's biting when nursing, that must be so painful
Great about his weight gains, it sounds like he's doing beautifully!
BnK - Tom is just like your OH, not sure whether he wants one or more. Most days he'd just be happy with one though I think! But how could you not have another like Mika, you guys make gorgeous bubbas
Sorry to hear he was having a bad night when he went to stay with your parents - my dad is looking after Lachlan tomorrow night while we are at an engagement party, as mum's out of town for the weekend so that shall be interesting!!
Seity - Sorry to hear about Gabriel not sleeping too well! Do you find that he sleeps better when cosleeping? I've heard it's a godsend. Does your DH stay home with him during the day? That's really cool!
Lynn - Poor EJ
He will be okay, I hope that when he does have the procedure that his recovery and healing time is quick! Sounds so painful.
Cocoa - Lachlan's like that too, will fall asleep happily in the living room sometimes but as soon as I take him in to the bedroom he's WIDE awake and looking around
Aren't they cheeky..
That's exciting that M's nearly picking things up - I find that it does help to pass it to them, just so they know that they can hold it, or maybe try holding it out in front of her, or setting it on her tummy if she's in her bouncer/swing. I find that helps
She'll be doing it in no time at all
GL - Sending you negative pregnancy vibes! I too have taken a couple tests out of paranoia cause I'm on the minipill too and am so forgetful with it - I hate having to remember after so long of not taking anything! The bleed was quite possibly just from missing a pill xx Keep us posted hun
So...there's probably a decent amount to update on here so why am I having a blank!
I've noticed that Lachlan is becoming much more 'onto it' now IYKWIM. So much more than even in the past couple of weeks...he looks at me and raises one eyebrow (think he gets that from me cause I can do it ala Jack Nicholson
). He's started squealing when he's grumpy now, which is confusing cause I've been so used to him squealing in delight for so long
I'll be busy with the dishes and he'll be entertaining himself under the playgym then I hear him squeal and (wrongly) think he's having a blast, but then the grumbling begins...ohhh yes.
He's laughing, but not nearly as much as I think other bubbas his age are but I guess all babies do things at their own rate. One way I can sometimes make him laugh though is to tickle his neck
Sometimes he giggles when I just wipe his neck with his bib if he pukes, it's funny
He's been really good with his sleep for the most part, I think he had his sleep regression a couple of weeks back and was waking a few times a night but now he's back to his usual which I can't complain about - he normally does 8.30pm to anywhere from 6-8am. So pleased he finally goes to bed at a decent time, it used to be 11pm...and he used to spit his dummy out several times before going to sleep but now it's 3 at the most
Breastfeeding is going okayyy...I find my milk supply decreasing at a steady rate of knots...well, it's quite up and down really some days it will be okay then others I have hardly anything. He's having to have formula nearly every night which is a pain in the ass, I find it easier to get my boob out and not have to cool water etc but oh well, whatever keeps us both happy!
I have no idea how much he weighs right now, but I have a plunket appointment soon so it shall be interesting to find out! He's sure getting heavy.
We started solids about a week ago, maybe two weeks? So far only on about a jar a day, but sometimes if he's really hungry then it's two a day. I knew he was ready because he was always really hungry after his milk feeds, even though I could hear him swallowing lots so I knew it wasn't that I was having a bad day re milk supply. And he's loving his food so that's good! Not so keen on some of the veges but he does like pumpkin and sweet potato.
He's getting really good at his tummy time and lifting his head right up, but won't roll as much as he used to at 2 months
Infact he's pretty much not keen at all. He rolled today for the first time in about a month. Still doesn't roll from back to front but I think that's pretty normal really.
He's playing lots with his toys - well, when I say playing I mean grabbing them and pulling them and hitting them. If I offer him a toy he will often reach out and take it which is pretty exciting
Proud mummy! And he shoves anything and everything in to his mouth.
No sign of teeth so far, I've felt and looked (though he HATES it when I look, he screams!)
Vegasbaby, I was so surprised (and envious hehe) to read that Charlotte giggles when you look in her mouth. I wish it was the same way for Lachlan, must be so cute! It's confusing, is it possible for babies to teeth without any sign of teeth in the gums? Because like I said, he shoves everything in his mouth, his fist or hands are in there heaps, he's drooling loads, has screaming fits that I can't for the life of me work out the problem, has red rashy cheeks...*sigh* I dunno!
Hmmm for somebody that couldn't think of anything to update about it I sure rambled on!
Here's some photo spam of Mr Man for you all that don't have me on Facebook

Cheeky bum, shoving his fingers in his mouth as well as his dummy!

Loving his tummy time for once!

Showing how high he can lift his head (he watches tv while he does tummy time, naughty mummy! But it's the only thing that will get him to keep his head up for ages...)

This one was taken today - my friend with her daughter (Lachlan's girlfriend
who's 10 months older - too old for him!) and mr man
so funny to watch, I want to help her but I know she's got to learn for herself.
Happy Birthday Seity!!!!!
