Babies born April / May 2016

Hallo ladies!

How are everyone doing? I have been so busy getting online seems like a little pipe dream sometimes!!

How is everyone's little ones? My Connor finally started walking at full speed about a month ago and there is absolutely no stopping him now! Getting into all sorts of mischief lol! Anyone having to deal with a bit of tantrums?

How is the talking coming along? Connor is very lazy and only does "ta" "dadda" "hi" "bye" and that's it...when are babies suppose to talk better?

The food issue is also taking its time. Connor feeds himself nicely if its finger foods but we have not really pushed the spoon self feeding yet so he is a bit behind I think with that? or at what age are they suppose to self spoonfeed?

@ Maj, so cute that she says Hello very difficult word to say I think. Rosalie only says dada and mama and tata. Its tiring as she just runs now and no way that we can sit down with her outside.
She has a nap at 9am for 30-60min and then again at 1pm from 30min to 1h30min. I hear you and the struggle is real as she was up the whole night last night again.

How did you ladies get your little ones to eat so well finger foods? Rosalie still wants me to feed her and she has to have small pieces of food. The finger foods she eats but messes a lot and only little pieces make it to her mouth. We only really started finger foods properly at 10/11 months and think we left it to long so she is a little behind with her feeding herself.

lol, she still has only a little hair, can't wait to be able to put a clip in

@somsbaby, beautiful pics!!

We are having a joint party for both my girls (the big one is turning 5 in June) this weekend.

Meals: my daughter eats a lot!! Sometimes I feel she eats more than her big sister! I don't prepare any special meals, we all eat the same.
Breakfast is oats, or eggs on the weekend.
Snacks: fruit (all types), full fat yoghurt, an egg (she doesn't like scrambled), kiri cheese, steamed carrot sticks and apples, pumpkin fritters (on the pan like a flapjack not fried in oil).
Meals: lasagne, curries, lamb chops, steak, fish, etc etc. she eats veges nicely, rice, pasta couscous.
I also have to break the food, else she will stuff the entire thing in her mouth!
She loooooves bread, but I try not to encourage it too much!

Sleep: she is trying to drop to 2 naps, but some days she still needs 3. How long do your babies nap for? Naseeha's is between 45 mins to an hour.
Sleeping through, that seems so far away!! Last night she woke a zillion times, but it was because she hadn't napped enough during the day!
She really fights when I take her to put her to bed. As soon as I walk into the room, she starts screaming!!

Teeth: @sonsbaby Naseeha also seems to be in a hurry with teeth. She has molars!!!

Walking: @jay-bee, nasee only started crawling at 9 months!!
She is standing for a sec or 2, but her legs aren't strong enough. She is a big baby!
My elder daughter only started walking at 14 months or so.

TTC- shooh! Good luck. I really want to have another baby at sometime, though hubby says 2 is enough. Him saying that actually makes me more desperate for another baby-lol!!

Any words? Naseeha says "Hello", especially when the doorbell or phone rings! No "mamma" or "pappa" though.

@ Sons, I wish my little one ate so much with finger foods as she messes everything. I still have to feed her with a spoon to actually get anything in her tummy but really trying for her to eat her self.

She started started walking at 9 months and running all over the place. Very early I know but both my sister and I walked early. She really tires me out... zzz

@Jay-Bee - Thanks for the snack tips will definitely try some of those ideas. The only problem I have with finger snacks is that Connor tends to shove whole pieces into his mouth he does not bite pieces off and I am so scared of chocking but I am trying to teach him to take small bites. Only about a week ago I started giving him beef mince. Before he just got chicken. He seems to like it so I will try make some meatballs!

Connor has 8 teeth already with two more starting to come out! He seems to be in a hurry to get those teeth out lol!

You must be so excited to ttc! I must say I cannot wait to start ttc myself! But we have a few issues to sort out first!

Is Rosalie walking? Connor is almost there walks now holding just my pants so I am thinking not too long before he lets go!

@ Sons, aww so sweet photos

Rosalie has only now starting sleeping through the nights from 7 to 7 as I was waking up twice during the night. As for naps she has a nap at 9am and then another nap at 1pm which works well for her.

At 4pm she gets her snack which is either a 1/2 hard boiled egg, mini meatballs, toast with bovril, cheese, apple or orange wedges, cucumber slices, tomatoes. I give her say 1/2 boiled egg, some cheese and a apply wedge but she eats so little of it and mostly plays and messes the rest. Trying to help her eat more finger foods. I am now going to start a morning snack which will be yogurt (double cream, unsweetened plain) or something.

How many teeth does Connor have? Rosalie has two on the bottom and only last week has now two on the top too...they taking there time

We are going to start ttc in September
