I have been wondering where Beenie is too - she hasn't been on I don't think.

She's not been on FB either. I've just messaged her that she's missed.

Csh - Is Kieren rolling/shuffling around now?

Yes. He is wild!! If hes in his chair hes rocking it really violently too and I don't feel happy with him in it now. He kicks his legs off everything in order to 'get' places and has about 8 hands. He can also walk backwards in his walker and spill glasses of juice *massive roll eyes*

If you want to change his milk then I would suggest you do buy a tub. Also, everyone says the ready made cartons are not the same as the powder so even if he takes one, he might not take the other iyswim. If you are changing it because of colic (sorry, think I missed why), I would suggest trying the colic remedies first. Make sure to ask your HV's advice too - that's what they are there for.

I can't tell the difference between 3 and Som! Your pictures are at similar angles. Anyone else having that confusion or is it just me?!

Csh - Jillie talks about some sort of rocker chair, but not sure if Kian is as active. What about the Leapfrog Learn & Groove Station as a 1/2 birthday present for tomorrow?! Expensive but meant to be really good!
My baby is still lazy but we practiced loads of tummy time yesterday and having another day in today just playing as she is showing signs/interest in moving around so want to encourage it.

well weirdly enough, Finn is loving his bouncy chair much more now that he's older and stronger. He used to flop over quite a lot, even with the head support thingee, but now he happily sits in it for much longer than he ever did! He also loves his Tiny Love rainforst play mat thingee so I highly recommend it if you can stand 10 min bursts of Mozart .

I meant to say we have the Fisher Price Miracles & Milestones mobile and projector but I actually have taken it off his cot as it was right around the time of a lot of night wakings so I was thinking maybe the mobile was waking him up??? So once that settles down, we'll try it again as it's quite cute and music lasts for a good while.

I hate that limbo of you know they're about to wake up from a nap so you don't want to start any tasks but then you also don't really have anything to do...and then sod's law is they won't wake up for another 30 minutes so you could've done the washing up or whatever anyways

Well remembered! Not sure I'd get enough use out the L&G to buy it now???

Everything just clicked at once for Kieren a few days after the teeth came. Obviously they were taking all his concentration!
Hes totally changed overnight into a wee scamp!!!
But I bet on Saturday he'll be good as gold and sleep in his pram the full time lol

K always loved his bouncy chair but he arches his back to get motion then speeds up! He totally knows hes doing it cos he laughs his head off and tbf it does look fun! But I nip through to put the kettle on and come back and hes got the thing going so fast its like that clip on YBF where the wee kid does that and tips up flat on its face

The babies are about a year apart though!

I really struggle when anybody changes avvy, takes me ages to get used to it (and then they change again LOL).


Hope all those going to the meet have fun and Elle enjoys her first KIT day.


When Benjamin got to the point where he could bounce his rocker across the room :eek: I put it away then!!!

csh, you could find a learn and groove cheap on ebay - I think I said mine was a fiver?

Failing that, what about a little paddling pool?
