How's everyone getting on?

[Lacey's Mummy]

We haven't had a good catch up in ages and I lose track on how all the pf babies are!

So how is everyone?
Charley's turning into a cheeky chap! He giggles at everything and everyone! He's always happy and only has afew down moments!
He's still not sleeping through but he only wakes twice between 7.30pm-7.00am so that's not bad!
He has purée food every night now and loves everything we try! Everything I give him, I make so I know what's in it!
He's still rolling over front to back but can't get further than his side going back to front and he's really trying to sit up. He manages about 5 seconds then loses his balance!

Here's a recent pic of my cheeky chap staring at himself in the mirror! He's vein already! Lol

Charleys lovely bless him! Tegan can roll front to back But not the other way, most nights she sleeps from 8.30pm till 7am! she's going to hospital friday as they think she's got a milk allergy! she's a cheeky monkey and a little smiler xx

 

[amyjayne77]

Aww, gorgeous!
Oscar can sit up and that's about it lol. He hasn't tried to roll over but he is dying to stand up. If we hold him by the hands he can stand by himself which is weird. I don't think he's going to crawl like the girls did.

I tried Baby led weaning, but nothing goes even near his mouth so I have given him puree's and baby porridge in the morning and at tea time and tried BLW when we eat to see if he copies but all he does is chewing motions with his mouth.
Still on the boob for most of the night!

One of my favourite pics of him.....

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Aw bless her! I hope they find out if she has! I wish charley slept as much as Tegan! He'll be 6 months before he sleeps through I think!

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I bet Oscar will go straight to walking! I really wanted to do blw but charley has so much milk and is still hungry I started him on purée. He is sleeping alot better now though!

 

[tinkerbell86]

H is doing great! so much nicer now i can take him out and about!!!!! I think were going to try and take him swimming next week for the first time!!
He's a very contented, happy baby who loves his sleep!! He's very smiley and when you give him tummy time he keeps trying to crawl!! lol!

 

[serenitylove]

daisy sleeps thru in her bouncer screams in her cot work in progress lol she now on mushys and loving it as long as it not bland she likes a bit of flavour in her food
she doesnt roll yet but does chatter alllllllll the time and laughs after her dinner lunch n brekkie which amuses me

Great thread - nice to hear how everyone is getting on.

Tomos is becoming more and more demanding every day. He goes nearly 3 hours between feeds (day and night!!), he's eating loads but still seems hungry, so tonight I'm going to try giving him a little bit of rusk in his milk to see if he sleeps a bit longer. Even though he is 3 over 3 months old now he really should have only been here a month and so I guess he's behaving a bit like a 4 week old baby.
But his development seems to be going ok, he can lift his head up when lying on his front and he can nearly roll over from his front onto his back.
He's also now fitting into newborn clothes

Theyre all growing up!!! Glad Charlie is sleeping alot better for you now and I hope Tegan doesnt have it, poor thing. Oscar looks sooo cute in that picture! Love the chattering happy little babies!

Paige is now rolling everywhere and anywhere, this is currently her mode of transport so we have to keep an eye on her lol. She can sit up now and is getting quite steady on her feet too which is odd because crawling still seems a little while off :/ I just measured her (Im bored, can you tell lol) and shes almost 65cm now!! And was weighed a few weeks ago and was 14lb She was quite ill last week though so Im doubting she put any on as she didnt really drink or eat for a week

Think thats all I can remember lol. She eats 3 meals a day and also has whatever I eat as well. She LOVES food!

 

[Baby Bean]

Awww everyone is doing so well ella is great, she mostly sleeps through 9/10pm to 7/8am but has recently started taking her dummy out her mouth and not being able to get it back in so getting her settled of an evening is getting harder! she mostly refuses to nap in the day as she is so nosey! shes still totally breastfed but now she's 4 months I suppose I should start thinking about weaning! she can't roll over yet but tries to sit up by herself and loves to stand with me holding her hands!

 

[Yodabo]

Aw she sounds like Drake Anna! He so nosy it's unreal, a real pain when we're visiting as he gets to the point of being really grumpy cos he's tired but won't go to sleep cos he likes to know what's going on all the time..

My little boy is doing so well lately, it's exciting to wake up ever day and see what else he has learned! He rolled over for the first time last week, loves standing up, he keeps lunging himself forward as he wants to sit up all the time. His hands are constantly in his mouth..like as soon as his dummy has gone his hands go in lol His hand eye co-ordination is amazing! He grabs everything now, loves the remote and the iPhone..oh and yanking my hair haha! Oh and he's getting a right chatterbox! He's really starting to like his own voice and starts squeeling and shouting lol He also loves himself.. He smiles at himself in the mirror and goes all shy and hides his face in my chest..it's so sweet!

Hes not sleeping through yet as he's been in his new bed only 4 weeks..some nights are better than others but he's getting better. I think he's teething right now too so I don't think that helps.

Weaning, he's not ready yet but I'm happy if he's happy as I want to do BLW (have got a book here an it makes so much sense, can't wait to start it)

Soooo that's my boy! I could possibly go on and on all day about him

Grest thread LM!!! All the PF babies are gorgeous!!!!

Emily is doing well, she can sir up unaided for a bit then falls over. She needs something to concentrate on to keep her up . She has 3 meals a day and sleeps through the night

 

[Baby Bean]

Emma you are right, reading your reply Drake sounds loads like ella! Hands in mouth, cranky when visiting as she refuses to sleep! Love them :-D

Herbie is doing brill now he's better he is totally back to normal and sleeping all night again. He's having breakfast and tea's at the min with all his bottles inbetween.
He finally learnt to roll over last wk at 19 wks from back to front.
and loves blowing rasberrys.
He has just learnt who our dog is and loves laying on the floor with him stroking his fur he laughs his head off.
and he now puts his arms out to people he wants to go to its so cute so we make him chose who he wants me or daddy lol.
He love the other two children loads and really smiles when monty comes in from school.
Touch wood up to now he is clingy like my other two he is happy to sit with other people ( my other two were terrible even from this age) so I'm over the moon.
I love him more then words can say and he has made our little family feel so complete.
cant wait to take him away this year he is such a happy little boy,

Donovan is 11 weeks old today and for the last three nights he has finally gone from 10pm til 8am without a night feed! he still wakes up usually around 4am and 6.30am which is when he used to wake for feeds so its out of habit more than anything and after a quick settle or getting in with mummy in her bed he will go back to sleep so it is progress at least!
He is a very smily happy baby, especially in the mornings. He whinges until we get out of bed once he is awake because he loves playing in his bouncer when he gets up for half hour before breakfast!
I have never tried putting him in a routine, the only thing I do at same time everyday is bedtime which is at ten, i give him his last bottle, change his bum, see if he wants anymore bottle and put him down awake in his bed and within half hour hes asleep. I dont use a dummy at bedtime because i dont want him to get in a habit of waking up if it falls out.
Other than that feed on demand, let him nap on demand and play on demand, i try not to spoil him by holding him all the time which i was guilty of the first couple of weeks and it became i nightmare then when i actually had to start getting my act together but he seems fine to play in his chair now for a while so thats progress!
Im going to wean early because his feeds never seem to satisfy him so in about 2 weeks im gonna try some rusk or baby rice.

Aw what a lovely thread, so nice to see how all the babies are coming on. I was starting to worry what happens when but settling in to the fact they will do it in their own good time

So Ross is nearly 7 months! 71.1cm tall and 18lb 1oz. He sleeps through the night, sometimes awake once after bashing his legs off the cot side or losing his dummy. He has three meals a day and is exploring toast, baby cookies and sweetcorn rings, yum!

He can roll both ways and thinks it's funny to pop his dummy in and out of his mouth. He's sitting up but as you said Erin, needs something to keep his attention so he doesn't tumble over. Crawling is on it's way, he can push himself forward with his knees, and is very strong on his arms but need to get the two working together. Oh and constantly says da da da, and has started with ma me, but only when he's not happy (typical).

That's a gorgeous pic megs!!!!

I agree! Gorgeous pic! x x

 

[megsmeadow]

Thanks girls!! We took it last week at centerparcs, just using a wee disposable underwater camera. My friend got them developed so she had to scan it in to share it with me, I'm hoping it's a bit clearer in real life. Ross just loves the water, little cancerian crab
