Hi all! Another long absense from me, have been reading every day but always run out of the time to type!
Hope Monday goes well Cazzy and BT, I am supposed to be back Monday evening too but have taken 3 weeks holiday so got a couple of weeks grace.
Evie seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds, she is getting faster at crawling now and is pulling herself up on the sofa too. She has started following me around the house too, I'll go into the kitchen and she'll crawl to the doorway then lie down and peep round it at me! She's trying to clap (unsuccessfully) and open cupboard doors in the kitchen (successfully). She has 7 teeth now and I suspect the 8th won't be too far behind, poor little thing doesn't seem to be getting a break! For those of you whose LOs have no teeth yet, it is supposed to be better long term for them. They say that the later they get them, the later they loose them and get their adult teeth - certainly true for my DSs, DS1 got his later than DS2 and lost them much later.
We are having troubles with milk at the moment, I have stopped her mid-morning BF and replaced it with a bottle. She will take the bottle okay but won't drink much, sometimes 1oz somtimes 6oz (different every day), she won't take a drop more once she's decided she's had enough! This now means she is only BFing morning and night and my supply has really suffered, I am struggling to produce enough and she is being very lazy with it. She just doesn't seem bothered (she was feeding loads last week - growth spurt?). Need to stop in the next couple of weeks anyway but did want to make sure she would take a good amount of formula first! Don't know whether to just go for it, carry on with 2 bfs a day or go back to 3?
Buzzy, my DS2's head was flat on one side as a baby too - I took him to the GP as I was worried about the very odd shape of it and although I saw a specialist they concluded that it was okay. His head is normal shaped now, think it was fine by the time he was 1 IIRC.
Cazzy, I know how you feel about your DD needing glasses, my DS2 has had them since 14 months and a couple of weeks ago we found out DS1 needs them although just for concentration work. Evie has to have hers checked in a few weeks as her left eye is a little slow - am hoping she doesn't need them too.
Louise, have you left us? Please don't! What's up?
Caz, how's work going?
Hi to everyone else - don't have the energy to do my usual roundup! DSs back to school next week so hopefully have a little more time (although doubt it as got a wedding cake to make...)
