Darcy hasn't rolled yet. How old were all your LO's when they rolled? I think my son was 12 weeks when he did it for the first time.

DS is 12 weeks today, rolled over yesterday for the first time.

We were calling Kynan "Pterodactyl" in the hospital when he was a couple of days old because of the same screechy noise. That was then shortened to "Terry". In his case, the noise was his desperate "I'm so hungry" noise, but we didn't realise this until he had a one-off big feed of formula because he was dehydrated. My milk didn't come in till late. Once it did and he was getting enough milk, the "Terry" stopped

His nicknames now are "bug" and "squid" - because he shoots "ink" from his butt, hehe. Also call him "piranha" because he is so impatient at the boob and goes nuts for the first few minutes.

We've been lucky with his night sleeping. Feeds at night are mostly 5-9 hours apart, depending on when his last feed was before we go to bed. Longest was 10 hours.

Wow. Just wow. Not that it would do me any good. For the last couple of nights my toddler has been getting up for a midnight play session, then is up to start the day at 4am

Milestones wise, my little girl giggled for the first time a few days ago. It just melted my heart. She'll be 3 months old tomorrow - how did that happen so quickly?

since i'm a little late on this, Maddy will be 3 months on the 14th. She has been sleeping through the night from about 9pm to 6am. I am weirdly lucky. She has been smiling since she was 4 weeks and holds her head when we assist her in sitting up which is her prefered position of choice. she loves to have her time on the floor with her gym or watching tv. She coos alot and smiles all the time. A very interactive baby. not rolling yet or laughing but waiting for the day to come

Girls, I'm drooling I'm so jealous

[the_lissa]

I totally understand. My first didn't sleep through the night until she was over 4 years old.

She giggled!!!! It was at my mom but that's okay cause I'm just so happy she giggled!!!

Sophia is 3 months old today. She giggled for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It's so cute. She likes to sit and hold herself up for a couple of seconds
She likes to grab my hair, blankets, we have this stuffed animal (georgey the frog), it's huge, but she pulls him towards her mouth, chomps on it as she coos.

Sophia is a good sleeper, once she is asleep, she'll sleep for 6 hours, wake up for a feeding, goes right back to sleep. It's not rare for her to stay asleep anywhere from 9am to 12pm. Until 12pm if I stay in bed with her. She is a sleepyhead and likes to wake up late and go to bed late.

She only roll overs sometimes, but has now rollover from her back to her tummy. Also when on her tummy she can hold her head completely up, her shoulders and legs, in the crawling position and tires to push herself forward.

Today in bed laying vertically, and I found her in the ,middle of the bed laying horizontally. A LONG way down, I dont know how she got herself there.

Della is 11 weeks and has started teething already. Actually started at about 9 weeks so she has been a bit miserable but the baby orajel helps a lot. She has just figured out how to roll over and it is trying it constantly...
She was my little velcro baby but for the past week she has been sleeping for up to 5 hours in her bassinet instead of our bed starting at around 8pm. Then I feed her and if i don't fall asleep while I am feeding her in the middle of the night she is pretty tolerant of going back into the bassinet. This is a huge deal for us...

She has been able to for the past 3 weeks hold herself up on her tummy and lift off her chest a bit. She can actually propel herself forward too but it doesn't qualify as crawling yet I think.

Hmm what else, she has been smiling and vocal since about 5 weeks. She is doing the baby laugh/screech for a while too. She can also reach out and grab her rattle and shake it and flick the spinners with her other hand. Quite impressive. We call her many nicknames primarily the toothless wonder though. Although that could change soon considering you can very easily see the little teeth just under her gums!
