Firstly I just wanted to say congrats to Nige for joining the dad club.
In the early days most of us were single/dating/without kids but I guess many of us are now parents?
I just wanted to share quickly how we finding things and stuff I noted and interested to hear other stories, maybe advise and so on.
Lachlan turned 1 last month.
Just some things with him, some challenges etc.
Positives:- Saying a lot early, development tests he’s ahead of for his age
- Although lower end of good weight (Just because he is so active) he eats Heaps and well, loves his fruit
- Tall
- Bi-lingual
Less Positive:- We are a non dummy family and sleeping and the self soothing is a hard one, he is still up 1-2 times a night. As he is going day care we thought
- Does not really sleep in the day, especially at Day Cay, he thinks he will miss too much.
- Not one of those sit and listen babies, ALWAYS on the move
Other things:- Not walking yet, he can, when he is not thinking about it he will walk between things, its just a confidence thing at this point
- Although we said "Daddy" and "Mummy" along with "Dad" and "Mum" he has stuck with "Dadda" and "Mumma" on his own.
- Since about 6 months he dances, it is the funniest thing and has different moves for different songs as well. He likes the good stuff, 80's mainly. Jackson 5 he loves, Aha and lots of the songs I know we all like and not much modern chart.
