YAY to Hannah - it so lovely to hear how well she's doing

Well.... Georgia is 11 months old next week and becoming more assertive every day. She's now started her temper tantrums (thought they didn't start until they were two years old). But she soon gets over them. Just trying to find her feet more than anything.

She's standing well holding onto furniture and stuff and has tried to "cruise" around the room - but hasn't mastered that yet

She waves hello and goodbye - even says "hiya" her favourite word is still Daddy especially when she sings it at 6.00am!! She say Mum Mum but still mainly when she's upset about something.

She can clap and understands us when we say clap or good girl. She's a real big flirt and flashes her sexy smile at anything resembling the male species

She'll give hugs when asked, but only to special people.

We've been going to swimming lessons every week and she loves it - all that splashing about!!

She's got another interview tomorrow with another modelling agency so if they take her on she'll be signed up with two, no work offers yet but its still early days.

On the whole, she's such a happy baby and a real star - she loves being the centre of attraction and hates being ignored. God help us when she gets older

Awwwwwwwwwwww

Ok well James was one in January and last weigh in he was 22lbs ..... he had his yearly check and everything is fine although he is in the top 95% for height (ie: he is gonna be a big lad but then his dad id 6ft 6 ) so his weight is low for his height but they said nothing to worry about he is just so active
He grins constantly and even has a ickle cheeky one he gives where his teeth all show and he screws his eyes up ... he loves to dance and love R&B but that might have something to do with his mum loving it and playing it constantly
He is just so so happy although he does like to play on mummys puter and doesnt understand no... although the other day when I said it his lip pouted out and I had to give him a cuddle (oops bad me )
All I can say is he truely is a joy to have

Well done girls and boy

Ben's fine, he was 10 months old on Monday and is huge... 22lbs at his last weigh-in, which was also his hearing test, 4 weeks ago (he passed with flying colours although he was obviously fed up with the whole thing). He's got his 2 top teeth just below the surface waiting to break through, but he's fine with them, just a bit 'chewy' (my knee especially). And he's on his feet, and can walk across the room with his activity baby-walker thing, except it kept getting away from him a bit and he kept being at full stretch before he could catch up with it... lol

The only problem with him is that at the moment I'm trying to settle him into a nursery, and he isn't taking to it at all. He's fine as along as I'm in his eyeshot, and he can turn round to find me, but the moment I leave he starts crying. Today's the 4th day we've tried it and he's no better than before. I was advised to leave the room completely and go downstairs to see if he calmed down any... 25 minutes later they came to get me, and he was practically hysterical which broke my heart... so I picked him up, and literally 30 seconds later he was giggling and smiling... which broke my heart even more lmao. Still, I'm sure given time he'll get used to it, and if he doesn't then we'll have to go to plan errrrr "w" I think we're on now *sigh*

Oh and ladies.... watch out... I was holding him the other day and said to him "gimme a kiss" (cos I'm teaching him proper English like wot the queen talks), and he leant forward and gave me this huge smacker *swoooon*. He's a fast learner

and guess what???.. she's crawling!!!... very slowly and backwards, but she's finally on the move

Yay Hannah!!!
It's lovely to hear about all the other babies - although Emily really is the baby of the babies!
She's 5 months old now, and huge (need to have her weighed). She's sitting up for a few seconds before collapsing in half, and uses her hands constantly. She doesn't really roll over yet, which is a touch concerning but hey, I don't roll over that often either
She loves her food and is on 3 meals a day now (what is it about T21 babies and their bigness?!) and is sleeping well at night, about 7 til 7. Getting her to sleep during the day is an entirely different matter....
She's just starting to get clingy, making a fuss when I leave the room. Hmmm. I could do with some sort of trolley to pull her around with me - she's way too heavy to carry all the time!

On the whole, now all the colicky nightmare has passed, Emily's a happy, smiley, giggly little munchkin and I adore her!

Don't worry too much about this - it'll happen before you know it. They're funny like that - one day nothing and the next everything!!

It's fantastic to hear how well our babies are doing.

Weightwise, it seems as though Hannah is finally catching up... she's just outside the 22lbs mark herself.. her weight gain since the New Year has been massive... two pounds at a time almost... which totally shocked us... So weight wise she's passed her 75th centile, and is heading that way height-wise

Sunnydale Girl: Hannah doesn't roll onto her tummy. Joel didn't til he was a lot older, so don't worry about it, though Hannah can turn onto her sides..

Hannah has just started with the major clinginess.. if i leave the room, even to go to the loo, all heck breaks loose.. aand this may sound funny, but it's reassuring to me, because Joel was never a clingy baby like that, and the doctors think this is down to his autism.

Hannah constantly smiles and grin, and she pulls a face when she's unhappy... she grimaces, wrinkles up her nose and shows her teeth, sometimes she'll do it to make us laugh too. On the rare occasions i've asked, she'll give me a kiss, but normally she doesn't and she's not a huggy baby though if she's bumped her head she'll snuggle in for a cuddle. But she understands "no" (and we get a pout too), "clap" and "clever girl"

All these babies sound as if they are getting on so well Well done mums & dads!

I do enjoy catching up with the news on the little miniatures as they are tomorrows members

Great to see the babies are doing well, I love to hear how they're doing

Congrats to whatever they have mastered doing in the past months And well done to the mums for looking after them so well

What is the cutoff for a baby? Mine will be 5 on the 31st Of course my mom still refers to me as her "baby"

There's no cut off to report about babies.... heck we could start our own threas and call it the "Mother and Baby"

Bissor - there were a few of us that had babies last year and every now and then we report on their progress, it nice sharing the good and bad with the other members.

Your baby will always be your baby and we'd love to hear more

Yup, doesn't matter how old your little 'un is, they're still your baby my oldest is eight now

The reason for posting?: Hannah has found forward gear in the crawling malarkey... she loves my white Reebok trainers for whatever reason, and this afternoon, she saw me putting them on, and she crawled over to them to try and untie my just fastened shoe laces!.. she isn't very fast at it, and she can't go very far right now, but she's going forwards!!!! She can also take steps if she's standing up and holding onto something (usually me )

And she's off Yaayyyy *Go Hannah, Go Hannah*

Today Reebok trainers, tomorrow.... the video cabinet lol

Baby <<huggles>> to her and you

Awwwww and your baby's are so cute esp when their climbing all over you LOL and waving to mine

Yay to Hannah for finding forward gear!! Now there's no stopping her

Well Georgia is 11 months old today - and so far has spent most of the morning with an upset stomach, a temperature and a snotty nose. Her birthday treat? A trip to the docs

They say its only a virus so hopefully she'll be over the worst of it soon.

Aww poor little love Hope she'll get better soon.

Well after only 24 hours of forward gear, i have to watch Hannah like a hawk... not only is she a little quicker, but she's into absolutely everything
