as it says on the title how is everyone and there lo's.

ryan is doing really we he is trying to sit up, so we bought him a bumbo and he loves it. he only wakes once a night now and that is the same time every night.
i have started to wean him as advised by my hv as he always seems to be hungry, he is doing really well and loves his baby rice after the first 3 tiny spoons.
he is becoming more vocal everyday the only time he's quiet is when he's asleep.

heyyyy! everything all good here too, JJ is doing really well although he seems to be taking less milk than ever but is still happy and himself so i'm not too worried! still sleeping all night so i'm not even attempting to wean yet although i will be doing it soon cuz my 2 cousins and their friend had babies in may and at 7 months....

LO1 - weaned VERY early, eating whatever you give her now (the youngest of the 3)
LO2 - weaned at around 4/5 months, having a good go but not too fussed
LO3 - weaned at 6 months, gagging on everything - just won't take it! (shes the oldest of the 3 too)

i know every baby is different but it just goes to show that if u wean early they get used to it and my HV said it's better to do it while they're small cuz their throats adjust to the swallowing better and they're more adaptable to change cuz they don't understand as well as at 6 months!

anyway, enough rambling on about that!

he's rapidly growing out of 3-6 months clothes so i had a panicked order of vests and sleepsuits with asda last week

he goes 3 hours between feeds (5 a day) and usually has a half hour nap in the middle of each one, sometimes between the 3rd and 4th feed he wont sleep at all and then have a really long nap between 4th and 5th!

i'm constantly getting 'shouted' at and he tells really interesting stories, i can tell they're interesting by the expressions on his face he adores me, which i love but i feel bad for sean cuz sometimes he won't take a feed off him and will just scream til he gets his mummy! he's so smiley and gorgeous and squishy and i just LOVE him soooo much!!

can u tell i'm really proud of my little monkey nut?

he is so cute jenny. he will get so many women after him when his older, thats if you let them get any where near him.

Boobly - doing fine, eating well, growing well. Laughs sometimes now (VERY cute, but real hard to make him laugh as he is not ticklish, so has to be some other way how to amuse). He rolls to all sides, from tummy to back, has rolled ONCE from back to tummy, but I think he yet has to figure out fully how to get over the arm Loves his jungle playmat, loves the jumperoo (though we put him in there only 5 - 10 mins at a time so that the back gets stronger)

We went to the aquarium last weekend, he loves looking at the fish, eyes were O_O!

He also loves to babble, he tells his jungle playmat toys stories.

He eats 5 times in 24 hours, each time for like 40 mins from boob. Sleeps from 11 pm to 6 am, then boob and further sleep from 7 am till 10 am.

Hugo is crap at napping at home, if we are home he might have 2 thirty/forty min naps. If we are out then he can sleep in buggy for HOURS. Thankfully the way how he naps during the day (lots or little) doesn't seem to affect his nighttime sleep, yay!

3 - 6 clothes fit really well. A bit wide though as he is skinny and tall.

Mommy doing fine, child atm is dressed in nice digs, but mommy is with bedhair, oldest pjs and would love to go snooze

Here is a photo of us a few days ago.

Davids doing well , had no feeding routine whatsoever lol... but generally has between 26-32 in a day. Sometimes a 2oz bottle will last him 5 hours then hell have 9... lol.. he sleeps from 8:30-1:30 has 4oz then sleeps 2-7ish then poos then sleeps till 9
Hes quickly growing, hes so long 66cm now, and was 14lb1 when we last had him weighed 3 weeks ago.
His 3-6 babygrows are too small now, as he is so long, but tops and t-shirts in 3-6 seem fine. Hes outgrow his snowsuits in length tho..

He sits up unaided for about 5 seconds before flopping but is seriously trying to sit up lifts his neck all the way upand legs come up then he gives up.

Like JJ, he is very much a mummys boy and if hes tired he can scream in anyone elses arms for 10 mins before settling, I jst rock him, he smiles and makes his smiling noise then is asleep.
He also tells interesting stories, some quite indepth too, but they must be funny as they always end with a giggle..
Hes loving his leap frog walker dj music thing but mostly he loves sitting on my tummy holding my fingers and chatting or playing boo with.. this ends up with both of us in fits of giggles...

Ive been called insane, crazy all the names under the sun by the husband but never mind... we enjoy ourselves :)

ooo forgot to say JJ is laughing too...

shes on 5 feeds a day(between 4-6oz), not bein sick as much since bein bk on the gaviscon but still has diahorrea every day- she has an appoinment with the paediatrician on the 12th to see if she has an intolerance, getting her weighed on thurs hopefully.
i have so much love for her- every time i look at her my heart melts- i was quite worried actually wen i was pregnant if i could love her as much as my first little girl(shes 3yrs) but my god, i dont know what i was worried about now, i dont know where all this love has come from, shes such a good baby- always smiling and sleeps all night till about 10am so have been quite lucky there, shes made me so broody :o

Sam is doing well ... smiling, laughing and telling stories! The oh came home from work yesterday and Sam started babbling on for about 20 minutes non-stop! Very chatty kid! Aside from the occasional bad night he wake about 1-2 am and then I wake him up @ 7am to feed and get dressed for the school run. My 5 year old told me school is boring this morning! (it's only his first day back!)

we got our older boy's old baby swing out of storage over the weekend and Sam's loving it! I had packed it away really well and with all the parts and instructions! (so proud! i'm not usually that good)

i put both boys to bed last night and left oh playing th PS3 ... according to oh the minute i left the house sam woke up & seemed to know i was gone. he apparently cried until i got home from sainsburys. when i got back i left oh to put shopping away and had sam back in bed asleep in under 30 minutes! i'm either really good or oh still hasn't a clue!

everyones babies are sooo cute, emily is 16weeks now and she just gets more and more adorable everyday. she is a very happy baby always smiling and laughing and telling stories.
she has always been a good sleeper (like her mummy) and has now just started to be weaned as she was getting upset and struggling to settle at night, she really loves baby rice and smiles and giggles when she is eating it.
she is 14lb14oz and is wearing 3-6month clothes.

katy x x

her hair is soooo gorgeous, davids has gone a sandy colour now. she looks so cheeky
