Give us some updates!!

MyWishCameTrue:

I'd love to post some pics of Ruby, but I'm not sure where to post them. Unlike your birth thread, the Nov 2010 thread is practically dead!

 

PLEASE post them here !!!! I would love to see little Ruby. You will be an honorary member of the Aug 2010 club . Can't wait to see her .

Imogen is now 7 months old and weighs 15lb 10oz! She can sit unaided for certain periods of time before falling to the side! She is far happier rolling around the floor than sitting still. She can get to anywhere she wants to go which is a pain, can't leave her for a second! Her 3rd tooth just came through last night. She has her 2 bottom teeth and one top tooth now. I have now started her on afew solid foods like wotsits (cheese puff crisps easy to suck!) and cheese and will be starting bread soon. It amazed me how she just chewed asif she had done it 100 times before! She is a very happy baby but very clingy, she still doesnt like her daddy yet or any strangers, just me, my mum and my sister! Here she is as beautiful as ever  x

having a chew on her crisps!

Imogen is getting so big. I cant believe shes eating those little wafers. I tried to give Mia some puffs and she can't sem to get them in her mouth! .....so her brothers help her out. She now has 2 bottom teeth and no sign of a 3rd. She'll de 8 months on the 5th and I'm guessing she weighs around 20 lbs. She is now pushing up on her arms and wiggling backwards . Her favorite thing to do is watch her brothers wrestle - she totally cracks up and tries to reach them to pull their hair . And of course, they let her. . It's a great time right now. Can't wait to see what they'll be up to next month!!

wow Mia is beautiful! i love the photo's you have had done, i would love to get some done of my girls but i don't know where to start! and professional photo's are expensive where i live. Where have these 7-8 months gone?! crawling next! Then the 1st birthday photo's!!

Short update - still practicing walking, and getting quite good at not falling on his face. Measured 30" tall, at 7,5 months; but still a peewee at a mere 18#, and sstill no teeth! Talking up a storm - I swear I heard him exclaim "Bullshit!" amidst a string of "ma ma ma ma ma ma"s.

Also, photos - hooray!


Busted raiding the fridge.


Put a cork in it, kid!

I knoooowwww. A few years back  we had some done because my friend gave me a $40 coupon. We wound up spending close to $400! I guess thats normal for pics like that but my DH was so mad. The pictures came out nice but I think you can get good pics from dept. store photos. Mia's were done at Sears and I had an online coupon. We wound up paying $160 and had several poses of all of us, just the kids and just Mia and even one with my mom. And that $160 includes a CD of all the pictures, several photo collages, a 10X13, 4 8x10 and lots more. Definitely the way to go but I don't know if you guys have  dept store photo shops.

If not, you can def. get creative at home and get some good pics. Imogen is just gorgeous and she looks like she makes a great model

I know ...I've been thinking about 1st yr. party theme and can't believe it's almost here.

All these babies are so adorable! I love seeing them all.  It's hard to believe that Emma is 8 months old already.  Time sure is flying by! She is talking a little more, saying "bra bra" (brother), "pa" (grandpa), "boo" (balloon, which she loves), and "ha" (hi) and "ba" (buy) when she waves.  Along with "mama and bah bah (dada)."  She is walking like crazy in her walker and loves her new found freedom to roam around and follow us wherever we go in the house.  Still not crawling, but starting to figure out the movements, so it's only a matter of time.  She loves to "dance" and does so whenever she hears music.  She is such a happy baby, but has starting throwing little fits (and herself backwards) when she doesn't get what she wants right away.  She's starting eating more table food and those gerber puffs, which she seems to enjoy.  Here is a picture of her modeling her new swim suit.  I saw the little swim cap and just had to have that suit for her...so cute!

and boy....she sure is workin' it!! What a little beauty. She is totally posing for that picture. I love it.

Mia is not crawling yet but she has now started puhing up and swaying back and forth. She tries to eat those little puffs ....she can pick them up but she has a hard time letting them go when they are in her mouth .  I'm bringin' down the walker from the attic today....can't wait to see what shenanigans she'll get into in that thing!!

Emma is the same way with the puffs. She will hold one in each hand and then I end up feeding her the rest. Lol. Can't wait to hear what Mia thought of the walker!

Mia did not like the walker at all at first. She was trying to jump in it like her jumparoo ! But the she realized she could move around and started walking backwards everywhere. lol. Since she has realized she can move forward too....so now she catapults herself around the house

I love it. Oh....and Mia finally learned how to eat her little puffs . Very, very cute.

On another note, she has been throwing herself backwards when she gets frustrated .

Well... nearly 9 months old now and Wes can crawl like a speed demon, walk (still kinda wobbly though) and bash his head on things as he faceplants with the best of 'em. He says a few words, found that banging on my aquarium makes all the shrimp jump around, and loves tearing up my plants. (Grrrr...) But STILL NO TEETH. I've started weaning, simply cos I'm totally bored of BFing. We're down to 3-4 very short feeds a day, when he first wakes up in the morning, and before each sleep. We're taking our first flight soon, visiting friends in Berlin, so please everyone send "baby behave well on the plane" vibes, hey? Here's a pic from yesterday, tumbling around with daddy on the sofa.

Imogen is 8 months old now and comando crawling! Not good when she ends up with carpet burn on one of her arms and both knees! She now has 4 teeth and is coping with teething very well! She is still tiny and is in quite alot of her 0-3 month clothes! I'm still B/Feeding her but it's down to 3 times a day now. She has 3 meals a day but im still struggling to give her whole foods, She cant chew bread very well and keeps gagging on cheese so i dont quite know what to give her without feeling my heart race everytime she takes a big bite! She babbles afew words "dada, nanna, baba" but doesn't really mean anything! Heres a couple of pics! She's sat on a couple of blankets in her highchair so she can reach the tray!!

 

Tristan is 9 months now...still not crawling and no teeth! He's just takin' his time haha.

and I love this, I took the other night:
