Just wanting to wish you all a very happy Easter as well and a special happy birthday to Jasmine for tomorrow.
I've been really busy lately and with a grumpy baby it's been tiring. We have been getting teething symptoms and Tara has also been getting a bit colicy as well with the solid foods (lots of stinky farts ) so have had to give her some colic drops as well to get things moving for her. She has also gone back to being a very chucky baby again... She still has the extra thickener in her bottles and even if I thicken up the solids we still get vomits up to 3 hours after feeding, so my washing machine has been working overtime lately with lots of changes of clothes for Tara for me and also having to change her bed linen as well. Don't know if this is because of the teething, the colic or just her being a pig and overeating but it is so yucky especially if we have to go out and both her and me end up smelling of sour milk. I can't wait until she can sit up properly as hopefully this will help to keep everything down for longer. I'm also having fights with her at the moment to have her day sleeps, as she no longer has the dummy she will only fall asleep sucking her thumb and during the day she will only do this if she is put on her side to sleep. Only problem is that once on her side (in the safe sleeper) she still manages to get onto her tummy which wakes her up again and I have to go in to her and start the whole process again. At least at night we are still o.k and by 8pm she is falling asleep on our lap if we don't put her to bed and generally don't hear anything from her until 8am the next day.
Anyway DH has today off work as a public service public holiday so 5 days at home to give me a rest, he is even going to do the full time mum thing one day while he is off to see it is not as easy as it seems. I'll have to let you all know how that one goes.
