Baby - birth to one year

[Aine]

we i want to have a little brag about my boy. Today he is 5 months and he spent the afternoon rolling from his back to his front.. He still has to find his legs but he is getting there

[Kali]

:D Great news Mon!

[Aine]

im a little proud as a had been wondering if he had issues of some sort but it may have been expecting more than his age if you get what i mean... not sure is do really

[Kali]

Rolling at 5 months is in the milestone age Mon. I should know :lol Are you still worried? What do you think he should be doing that he isn't? He is a big boy and large kids tend to meet their physical milestones a little later as they need to build up bigger muscles to move.

[mama_bel]

Yay for rolling! So cute!

[Ethereal]

Awwww, how gorgeous Mon!! :heart

see that's all i needed to hear thank you for helping to squash my silly neurotic fears...
L my fears /worries ares are really all in my head just sometimes they get out it isn't an issue really just neurotic mum stuff

too much thinking = stressing, at least for me!

Yaaay for rolling! Hudson never rolled, not once! He just went straight from laying to sitting to crawling in about three weeks :2lol. All different.

Legitimate Mon, this hasn't been a straight-forward road to travel. Be kind to yourself :heart

[mamma]

Sounds perfect to me :) My daughter is 5 months and doing exactly the same. She also likes to poke her bottom up in the air, trying to get on her knees but falls down straight away. I feel a bit guilty comparing her to her brother who was crawling at 7 months and walking at 9.5...just have to keep remembering every baby is different and unique :)

My baby boy is 75.5 cm tall and started waving hello today. It was lovely that he chose my friend that i have been helping through a miss carriage to be the first one to wave at... He is also really close to sitting up

[mamma]

you've a tall one too eh Mon?! It's so lovely seeing them interact isn't it?

[Aine]

Yeah he is very tall looks like he is slowing down in the growing department thankfully, only grew 2.5 in a month rather than the 4 he had been doing

[mamma]

mine's not slowing down yet...still waiting!! at least they're healthy!! all in their own time :)
im just over the questions about solids, i mean really...ma baby does not look like she needs solids

[Aine]

we can sit and we have found our legs we love to stand... we are a little unwell a cold we can make a ssss sound

[Aine]

we are still loving standing and we bounce a bit now as well. got the sitting thing down pat still cant pull ourseves up to sit. Said mum for the first time today and mum didnt imagin it there was a friend there to wittness. Still very quite though. love my food tried my first bit of hand held rockmellon today like that

[Ethereal]

Awww, he's just yumminess complete, Mon :heart xo

[changeable fate]

Spent a few minutes watching him sleep tonight. I think he wants to crawl - he kept making these funny little movements in his sleep, like he was dreaming or something. Babies still amaze me. They grow so hard and have so much to learn and they all manage to do it in their own time.

[Ethereal]

They are miracles, that two cells can become a wee little person is just amazing :heart.

Harper is 9 months and she is getting the hang of crawling. Still an in arms fan that's for sure though. Having massive day sleeps (yeah!!) and eating heaps! She really is a cruisy happy bubba.

[Aine]

Haper sounds like such a joy. We have had an eventful week. Zaan can pull himself up on things although he is still wobbly he can pull himself up to sit. I had the surprise of my life seeing that. HE was laying down one moment then up the next. Camando crawling like a trouper. Trying to pop his first tooth getting over a very badly bruised collar bone ( fell of the bed) doc thought for sure it was broken w are all really glad it wasnt. super clingy ATM which i love as i then has a reason not to do things around the house. Mind you it makes it hard when he is sleeping to get the housework done and come here seems to only sleep mostly for 1 1/2 hr. He is 9 months today its going so fast.....

Updates from previously posting mammas? :)

My wee man sat on his own for me on my birthday, about 10 days ago. Would have been about 4.5mo. As a pp said he can sit when put in a sit, (sit Ubu, sit!) but cant bring himself up to it yet. Pretty close though. I thinkn also around that time we took him underwater for the first time. Took a few days, but he really enjoys it now. He's always been a water-loving baby though (I had planned for a waterbirth but ended up on the couch), its so fun to swim with him.
