@OnePinkSlothHello! I don’t think there is, as we’re still some way off the key 1,000 posts. But gosh, hasn’t time flown?! I don’t know about anyone else, but that sudden transformation between semi-abstract baby in the womb, and very-much-present baby in real life, has kept me rushed off my feet, and I’ve been shamefully absent from this thread.
I hope you’ve all had plenty of support from other quarters? I’ve been tremendously lucky with my NCT group, who’ve turned out to be wise, funny, and sociable. That’s been a godsend as we’ve tried to understand the small, impatient and frequently very funny person we’ve ended up with.
How is MiniSloth getting on? MiniSquirrel is now seven months old, 10kg, cheerfully on the 98th percentile and wearing 12-18 month clothes. I’ve almost bankrupted myself trying to keep up with her growth spurts on Vinted 😉 She’s only rolled a few times, largely by mistake, hates tummy time, and shows no sign of crawling, but loves sitting up (rather unstably, due to her weight). She loves books, and has invented her own peekaboo game, and is proving to be tremendously violent with toys, which either get eaten, or banged viciously on the nearest hard surface. She’s always willing to try the newest purée flavour, but makes a point of looking unimpressed with every single one. And she has an almost Wagnerian ability to hold a high-pitched shrieking note.
We love her to bits.
I do hope everyone else is finding this whole crazy journey satisfying? Clearly there are moments where I’m desperate for sleep, or worried because she’s sick, or just grumpy, but, all things considered, I think we ended up pretty lucky 😊 I hope the same is true for you, @OnePinkSloth!
And hopefully, if you have questions, enough of us will be tempted back that we can have a good chat about them 😊 x
