hi all !!!

well im finally on a road that leading us to answers !! Gabriella is on a strictly Gluten Free diet and a rescticted Dairy Diet .. (by resticted , i mean not directly eating dairy like cheese milk or youghurt)

so its so hard to feed her foods that actually sit well with her , Beef and Lamb dont go down well so its chicken and fish all the way for her, she gets refluxy with flavourings like onion powder and celery seasoning , so i have to avoid baby food with it in it , Tomatoes are out as well as reflux gets worse and anything "burny" like sugar (but deerrr !!!! shes 10mths ,no sugar for you !!!)

so basically untill i get my head around this its a boring diet for her , at least she likes fruit coz banans and grapes is all she gets for a snack ..

but other than that our first 2 teeth have surfaced ,!!!! only just you have to look hard to see the little cut in her gums to know its a tooth , but you can see 3 others beneath the skin and it wont be long un till they are through !! so 5 teeth at once .... she can be ultra grumpy , but im surpirsed how well she is handling it ..

Last night she has a bottle of plain goats milk ( yes i know ... NO COWS dairy) and she slept until 6 am , i wasnt home so DH gave her the bollte and i forgot all about the dream feed !!
so now she is going to get a bottle each night for a bit to see if it helps her ... i bet shes hungry from the change in diet .

Her BF at night before bed is the most fussiest . so i fed her as much as i could the ofeered the bottle. at least i know she full and not going to get pain from the all the junk food ive eaten to day ...

all day has been junk food as i had a party at mine for a friend then DH was tired so he got pizza .. i feel so bad and yuk .. but it was yummy !!!!

also Gabs stood on her own for a biref second the other night , we were at PIL and all of us mucking around and Gabs leant on DH's leg then slowly stood up and let go for a few secs ... we all cheered and clapped then gabs giggled and clapped for herself , it was so cute !!!

also it may be taboo and a touchy topic for some parents BUT , Gabbi got signed up to bettina child moddlelling !!! I entered her in a comp at the shopping centre while waitng for something , and forgot all about it , then got a call asking if they could see her as they liked her "look" .. DH though it was a ploy , but as its down the road from his work , i went for the interview and they called back and accepted her !! they only take 30 kids per age per state so shes one of 30 babies ranging from 3-12 mths, her portfolio shoot is on tuesday !!!

im pretty excited !! my PIL were absolutley outraged that i would sign her up for it ... why i dont know , i think its cause my BIL tried to enter a moddelign agency and spent all this cash on pics and stuff , but never got in !! haha , hes not that handsome so i can see why

but other than that , im slowy going back towar PND again , i can feel it .. i get Seasonal affective disorder , mildly and every winter starts on a down hill slide and once the weather warms up i get better and perk up , but for now i cant treat it on my own , so back to the GP to dicuss meds ..

on the happy side i have been Breastfeeing for 10 months !!!!! double figures ...... and with all the pain i had (still have ) i cant believe were still going !!!

i just love feeding her in the early morning listening to her rythimic sucking swallowing sounds ... its comforting to me .... yay for boobies !!
