Awww look at her sitting up! Iris is just 6 months and can roll both ways, has two teeth but no sign of sitting up. We haven't started weaning because she just folds in two in the high chair 😆 goes to show how different they all are!

It’s only really the last two weeks she has been getting the hang of it by herself. She’s been ok before that in the high chair supported so we were ok to start weaning

I plan on trying her on the peanut butter this week.

Hope it goes well! He reacted on his Third time having it. Thankfully was just a rash on his face and body. So we was given prition , had upset tummy today but he’s ok!

@Thegirlhasnamechanged @Sunshinemoom wow!! That is early.

I think I have one of the oldest babies in the group and we still have a gummy baby and she’s not long been rolling over. Zero sign of any crawling either 🤣

I think Nora might be the oldest baby in the group but she’s definitely crawling a lot quicker than my other two were. She could’ve timed it better and not started as the big two broke up from school. I fully admit to missing the baby potato stage. It was so much calmer! There’s an October born baby that comes along to my son’s rugby practice and she hasn’t got any teeth yet. We’re about to have 7. The teething feels nonstop!

Tried all the common allergens aside from nuts so you’re braver than me @Sunshinemoom I know I need to get on it but proper wussing out about it

My first son didn’t have teeth until he was well over 1 years old, possibly 13/14 months so don’t worry about no teeth at this stage 😬

Done the first one today and so far so good.

Happy went well!! My oldest was fine with all nuts! So was a shock this time this round!

Freya is now 6.5 months. No sign of teeth (DD2 had her first at 5 months; DD1 was 8 months), but very mobile, albeit better going backwards than forwards 😂. We’ve been weaning for a few weeks now (after her having the odd chunk of bread or chip on holiday back in half term) and she’s LOVING pouches and yoghurt!

Hi ladies ive not been through all the updates but hope use all and little ones are doing amazing!!

My little harry is 7 months a absolute giant hahs currently rocking his 12-18 months clothes. Hes such a lovely happy baby still no teeth but that doesnt stop him munching his food. Hes a little allergy baby so weaning hasn't been so straight forward for us and he has really bad eczma but considering he still is a pleasure.

Hes at the stage off trying to crawl and determined he can climb anything hahs.

Would rather answer to his brothers name than his own and thinks no no is hilarious (God help me) haha.

I just really crnt believe how quick its gone i want it to slow down so bad xxx

Happy to hear Harry doing well. Atlas is the exact same. He’s literally just gone into 12 to 18 months! I’m sorry to hear about his eczema and weaning not being a straightforward for you!

It’s crazy as it’s so nice seeing them do all this stuff but you just want time to slow down. Everything seems like it goes so much quicker the second time round.

Sunshinemoom · 25/08/2026 18:00

Atlas has learned to cruise on furniture which has stopped the shouting but just means I’m constantly trying to make sure he doesn’t fall and bang his head 😅

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 26/08/2026 22:56

Not the cruising!! Very much in that ball park with Nora. We’ve come to the caravan for the week and she’s just shimmying herself along on all the furniture. I thought this would make a nice break from her trying to crawl up the stairs at home.

We’ve only recently moved into 6-9 stuff so my brain can’t compute your boys being in 12-18 clothes. They must look so grown up 🥺

It’s never ending. How is your holiday going?

oh I miss being in smaller sizes I feel like nothing lasted before we moved to the next size, Atlas is starting to lose some of his chunk from moving but he’s tall. So many parents who met him don’t believe he’s nearly 8 months, think he’s older 😩

Sunshinemoom · 27/08/2026 05:26

Oh I also forgot to say I found out I’m having a little girl this time round 🙈 my pregnancies couldn’t be more different in terms of symptoms. Thankfully not ill this time round, still had to have stitch placed! But I know what to expect this time round at least!

WanderWalker · 28/08/2026 00:42

It’s crazy how all the babies are so different considering they were all born around the same time. Teeth, no teeth, cruising on furniture 😮, not even crawling yet and some in 12-18 month clothes 🤣

it’s so lovely to hear everyone’s updates and see how everyone is doing 😊

@Sunshinemoom aw how lovely a little girl ❤️ congrats

Holiday was much needed. Managed to dodge all the wet weather forecast whilst we were in Scotland and the lakes just for the skies to open as we were pulling into our street. It could’ve been much worse!

Congratulations on the little girl! I never had different style of pregnancies with my girls as I did with my son so I find it fascinating how some bodies differ with it. The body is a wonderful thing.

@WanderWalker Nora keeps standing solo. I keep telling her that she isn’t 9 months until the middle of September and asking her to slow down but I don’t think she’s having any of it 😅
