Reina is great! A very easy baby, she only really cries if something SPECIFIC is wrong, like a poopy diaper or hunger. She's 90% of the time very very quiet. My boys were a little more all around noisey, which I liked, since I could always hear them and stuff. But she's good; mil natured, very drooly and always biting on her blanket silky thing. She loves tummy time and play gym time, and I give her cereal with a little applesauce once a day (lunch time-ish). She just had her 4 month shots so she's sleeping more than usual. She has been sleeping thru the night since late September (about 2.5 months old). Hope all your wonderful July girls and boys are great!

ugh i wish i could have an overnight! but i have no family here and noone that i would trust enough to watch him =( Lj is bottle feeding, tried breastfeeding and it wasn't working out at all, i was very upset because i was determined but it didn't work out.

As far as sleeping goes, that boy can sleep!! he stays awake a lot during the day except a cat nap here and there and then sleeps all night! i dont have to get up at all at night and sometimes i beat him to waking up. And boy is he a little chatter box! before going to sleep he lays in his crib just making so many noises.

He loves smiling!! He is such a happy baby and really doesn't cry very often (hopefully i dont jinx myself lol)

Happillyexpecting- I am so waiting for the laugh too, hes almost there but still not quite. Is it just me or does it seem like they are already growing so fast?!?!

Thank you! Your son is a doll baby as well! All of you ladies gave birht to amazingly beautiful children! I am so proud of all of us!

How are things going for everyone as far as breastfeeding/bottle feeding/sleeping/etc.?

I am only giving Lilyana breast milk, and she does well with a bottle too (I pump) which is good and has allowed me to leave her a few times with family. I even got an overnight! My son's grandma watched both of the kiddo's overnight one night a few weeks ago....boy was that awesome! I sooo needed the sleep too!

She still isn't that great of a sleeper though, but getting better. She takes a long time to go down at night (like 1 hour of dad bouncing her and on and off the breast for about an hour most nights) but then she typically wakes up on average 2 times per night. The other night she had her longest stretch of sleep (11pm to 5:30am) so 6 1/2 hours! That never happens though so was a rare occurance.

She started smiling at 5 weeks and is getting closer to giggling every day!! We cannot wait to hear that first laugh!

I knew she would be a July baby not an august baby.

Think I predicted about 36weeks but she arrived at 38weeks. :)

Glad to touch base with everyone!!!! We are doing well here as well! Lilyana is almost 8 weeks old now....wow, it's amazing!

My prediction was she'd come on July 19th but I was induced on July 22nd.....

We are doing well also. Hard to believe Drew is 9 weeks already!! I'm curious how many of us 'predicted' the due dates close to when it happened ..

30th July Baby Girl Here :)

Doing well!! 7weeks old in two days time, its flown... scary how that happens in the blink of an eye huh!

She is smiling now, its gorgeous :)

Her big brother (21mnths) loves her to pieces, sits and holds her, kisses and hugs, shares toys and wants to play with her.. its adorable! Such a good big brother, amazing the bond there, never thought a toddler so young would have that connection with a "baby". :)

Breastfeeding is going superb! Very happy!

She feeds every 2hrs pretty much throughout the day and feeds about twice during the night.. which makes up for it! I was feeding her on the hour or two for the first few weeks, and the nights were shocking, I was getting no sleep at all! She is slowly settling into a pattern and realising night time is sleep time luckily for me... :)

Hope the other July Mummies are going well!!! xx

Glad you're doing well!

We're good here!! All the big siblings are loving the new baby.... always a fight to see who gets to sit next to her in the car!! Enjoying the last few days before school starts, but very excited for that too!

Starting to think about losing the baby weight.... starting, but nothing serious yet!! Much easier to cook if I'm thinking about speed, not my waist line!!

RJ is doing well, growing well, nursing well. She's sleeps well at night, just wakes to nurse, but cosleeping makes that quick. Tons of smiles, which everyone loves! And, of course, looks fabulous in Pink!!
