had to post to let you know that lani now plays peek a boo - she started tonight when she was on her change table she kept pulling a towel over her head and i would say where's lani and she would move the towel from her eyes and giggle - way to cute.
michelle - i usually come on in the arvo around 3 or 4pm if lani is asleep and jay is occupied but generally i try and get on at night around 9pm for an hour providing no good shows are on lol. btw i live in the eastern suburbs of melbourne. the sleeping bags are great, although i had a problem when jay was standing and suddenly in the mornings he would cry when he woke and i couldn't work out why as he used to wake up happy then i figured it out - his feet used to get all tangled up and he couldn't cruise around his cot. the bags i have are a light windcheater type material and i used to just dress the kiddies in their singlet and growsuit then put the sleeping bag on, i found the polar fleece type ones a bit to warm for them.
mummylovesjacob - good luck on the drive down wow what a long way, we drove from melb to qld when dd jessica was 5mths old - it was hell as she had an ear infection and we did not know at the time - she got us out of a speeding fine tho, we were pulled over by the police somewhere in nsw we were going about 10kms over and when he came to the car he heard her screaming and told us to sit on the speed limit and the next town was only 1/2 hr drive away lol. we have friends down at rosebud - it is nice down the mornington peninsula even in winter walking along the beach all rugged up on a cold day - i love doing that.
jessica - poor aiden getting a cold - you have done nothing wrong, trust me this cold will be the first of many - babies and toddlers seem to have permanent runny noses - what you are doing is exactly what i would do, word of advise on vapourises - just make sure you have the window open a little or the condensation will build up on the walls - we found out the hard way getting mouldy blinds. i go by if discharge is clear it is ok but green - off to the gp for antbiotics. my ds got a bad chest infection when he was 2mths old it was awful and the antibiotics gave him an upset belly poor little boy. just make sure you feed aiden a little more if you are breastfeeding to keep the fluids up - oh and i just remembered my child health nurse told me a while ago when ds had a cold and i was concerned lani would get it (this was 1 wk before lani was due to get her first lot of needles) and she told me to eat plenty of vitamin c rich foods especially strawberries and kiwi fruit and this would pass on through my milk - don't know if it worked but lani never got a cold so who knows.
