*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[Mrs. AJ]

Connor really wants to sit up now and is sooo close to doing it on his own!

 

[sherylb]

Yay Connor! We are sooo far from that.

 

[Michieb]

Great job Connor!

 

[sherylb]

Yikes! Looks like we are on night 3 of continuous attempts to avoid sleep by rolling over. The past 2 have been rough with Daddy home and tonight he's at work. She's already been rolled over once after being in bed less than 10 minutes and has been trying to roll onto her back again ever since I turned her over. (I put her up against the wall b/c she can only roll one direction I think)

MrsAJ and babyhopes, CUTE pics!!!

Quinton did do this crawling like motion the other day, where he pulled his knees up under his bum and was pulling with his arms while on his tummy (he was looking at some toys a few feet away). He made it maybe 6-7 inches, but I am pretty sure he will forget he did that for a few weeks before he tries it again

i love how they try something new, we get all excited that they're able to do that thing, then they don't try it again for a while...

But yes every baby is different, some smal some avg some big..it's all ok

yes, my DH has two nephews who are 2 years and 5 years. the 5 yo is low percentile and the 2 yo wayyy up at the top, so people have actually asked them if the boys are twins.

babyhopes - freya is gorgeous!

Wow, we really have some big babies in here!

Leopard, wow, crawling!

He made it maybe 6-7 inches, but I am pretty sure he will forget he did that for a few weeks before he tries it again

qwk - logan does this exact same thing! I keep trying to catch it on video thinking he's about to crawl, and then he stops
His legs are definitely trying to, but he can't/doesn't lift himself up in front yet so just kind of swims around the floor LoL (doesn't move far)

MrsAJ - very impressed with connor's sitting!

sheryl - hope kristin stopped rolling so you all got some sleep!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Eden rolled from her front to her back for the first time last night - now I can't stop her doing it lol! Think it's the end of tummy time! xx

Too funny, I thought it was just my guy who "forgets" his new skills

Is anyone else having hair fall out? It is SO annoying!! I can't tell any difference looking at my hair, but it is EVERYWHERE!!

im not bold although my hairbrush is full and hair is always everywhere doesnt help lo ripping it out lol

 

[sherylb]

Yeah, I just cut my hair back to where I had it like 2 years ago b/c of her pulling on it and it falling out so fast. It also feels like it grows a lot faster though so maybe that counters the falling out and that's why you can't tell a difference? I have had at least 3 haircuts since Kristin was born.

 

[Huggles]

yip, mine's falling out like crazy as well.
I did read that it's normal for hair to suddenly start falling out a lot around 3 months pp. Not sure when it's suppsoed to stop though!

First day back at work for me today. And logan's first full day in daycare. So far so good.

 

[Michieb]

Good luck huggles! I know the hardest part of the firsts drop off is on us and not them! I cried my eyes out I am sure Logan will do well!

My hair falls out a lot normally - but i have so much of it - its not a problem and i havent noticed anything more than the usual (i clean out my hairbrush everyday)

We had a busy wknd Sat went to see easter bunny pic below Sun took cristiano to the beach -not his first time there - but first time in ocean :0) He looved it! We all had a blast! But sand is a problem!! Its just impossible to keep off of him!

Happy monday to all! Hope everyone has a great week!

[Mrs. AJ]

That easter bunny pic turned out great!

 

[Huggles]

That easter bunny pic is so cute michie!
Was the ocean not cold? Didn't cristiano mind the cold water? I tried putting logan in pool once but as soon as his toes touched the water he pulled them up and cried.

 

[Michieb]

The ocean temp is at about 72 right now - I didnt get him completely wet - but i had him in up to his waist - he didnt cry - Carina was swimming in and out of waves like a mermaid - and i think he was happy to be watching! I mostly had him in it up to his knees - i think he really liked it - also helps that it was 85 degrees - and i am sure it felt refreshing! I cant wait to go back!

Funny you mention the pool - ours temp says 80 but if i put my feet in it it feels like it if freezing - so we havent gone in it yet - but the ocean felt warmer?

So another question for those babies who are eating already - how many jars do you have a day? Cristiano is up to 3 (in addition to his bottle every hour and half)- Carina never really liked the jarred food and took a while so i dont have a good comparison - i am worried that is too much?

 

[Huggles]

We're not on solids yet but 3 jars does sound rather a lot, especially at only 4 months. Could you maybe ask a Health Visitor or nurse/doctor or something?

id say 3 jars is too much. its only meant to be in addition to there milk

Freya eats a small jar a day split into 2 meals and my hv said that was too much

First day back at work for me today. And logan's first full day in daycare. So far so good.

awww - i bet it is a hard transition, so

We had a busy wknd Sat went to see easter bunny pic below

cuuute!

 

[Huggles]

So far logan seems to be coping well at daycare - doesn't cry when i leave him and is never crying when i fetch him. The teacher said he cried a little every now and then on monday, but yesterday (tues) she said he was much more relaxed and didn't cry at all. And the teachers are nice - they hold the babies if they're sad/crying so i know he's cared for well. And he's been full of smiles and super happy after i've fetched him and before i leave him so i think he's happy there. It is weird for me being away from him all day though - i keep paging through his photo's on fb when i should be working.
