sorry every one in a rush so this is going to be another Joshie post

offical weigh in results

6875gms
gained 425grams and
DOUBLED
our birth weight FINALLY!!!!!!


that song "oh what a feeling" its playing in my head now

[Arimeh]

Thats fantastic Squidipa - way to gooooooo Joshie!!!! woohooo!!!!!!!

(We have not yet doubled our birth weight, she was nearly 4kg born)

[*Beema*]

Goooooo Joshieeeee!!! That is awesome news Squidipa! You must be thrilled

Mel, once she gets better she will back back on track, it took Nakita 4 1/2 months to double hers and that was to only put on 2350grams, and Mehkelti would have been getting close if she didn't get an upset tum

Bear I would have love to see you riding a bike with a little trailer on the back with a frozen pig in it.... ah the visions your pig is creating!!! Great to see you back too!!

We must keep going, we tried Pear this morning an a big sucess, so atm we have apple, carrot and pear, next is zucchini, pumpkin and potato..

[mountain mummy]

Well, we have another bear-brained scheme in full force here.... it involves a whole frozen pig named Paris. I'm kind of hoping this latest escapade cures the Bear of his River Cottage phase.... it doesn't really work in an inner city apartment

Yeah I can see how that wouldn't work!! We have enough trouble trying to do it here!!! LOL! (Mind you I think motivation and time play significant factors!! LOL!)

At least we didn't get pulled over for an RBT check whilst the pig was sitting in the car - that would have been awkward to explain....

PMSL!!!!!!!!!! Would have LOVED to have seen it!!

Squidipa - woohooo for Joshie!!!

Mel - LOVING the harassment - bring it on baby!! We haven't doubled birth weight here either ...

Vic - GO NAKITA!!! She sounds like she is doing quite well with her solids!!

Bec - Nice to see you back again! So glad your christmas went well!

Anyways, I better attempt to have a shower (yes, I am in TOTAL lazy mode today!!) so big to everyone. Hopefully BBL to check out what else is going on!!

mwah!! xxx

[nagromeyk]

Well hello everybody! K is sleeping so I thought I'd come in and try and catch up on all the posts.

I have K almost doing backstroke in the pool now - kicks his legs hard out, so cute!! Have a champion swimmer on my hands me thinks hehe

Squidipa - yay about Joshie's gain, thats great!! Congrats on doubling his birth weight aswell

[nagromeyk]

Happy belated 5 months to grace

News: Kye started rolling yesterday, hooray about time! He hasnt quite figured out yet how to move his arm so he can roll onto his tummy though ....guess he'll figure it out soon enough LOL Was funny last night I had him on his mat on the floor just to play, he turned his head to watch the tv and after about 10mins he hadnt really moved so I went and checked and he had fallen asleep turned out only to be a quick power nap but still funny.

MM - has V started rolling yet?

Oh I started him on solids two days ago. So far in the vege he has tried carrot. Last night I combined half a ice cube of carrot and two teaspoons of farex with some formula and he ate the lot so I was happy with that. He is opening his mouth when the spoon approaches and also happily kicks his legs while I'm giving it to him so I'm thinking they're good signs he is enjoying it. So far I have just been doing plain farex in the morning and then the farex combined with a vege in the early afternoon around 4:30-5:00pm. Another couple of days with the carrot then I think I'll try either pumpkin or avocado?? Any ideas on what other vege to try?

Got woken up to the bloody smoke detector going off this morning at 5:00am, Kye woke up so gave him a bottle and he is now back in bed.
Dont know how long it will last but better get my butt organised and get something to eat while I can LOL

Bye for now

[squidipa]

congrats sasha on the rolling, josh seems like he would rather be in jolly jumper or walker he pushes him self back wards in walker. as for solids we tried it about 2 days back bar from rusk sticks thats about it. he doesnt like farex but LOVES pineapple and potato salad dressing. He didnt really eat the farex mind u he loves the eating just not farex he rather lots of dips of things. Loves custard too!!

[beckoes]

5 Months for Josiah aswell!!

Sasha: horray for the rolling!! Didnt take G long to work out how to move her arm out the way! So funny that he just fell asleep on the play mat!
Havent started solids but tried her with a few tastes of things, loves avo! i think its a good one to try. also sweet potatoe is ment to be good but i havent tried much yet! sounds like hes enjoying it!

[nagromeyk]

josh seems like he would rather be in jolly jumper or walker

I hired a Jumperoo just before christmas for K, he goes absolutely nuts in it, it's hillarious! Vic can vouch for that - I sent her a video the other day of him in it via MMS Didnt take him long to figure it all out and I reckon it is really helping with the strength in his legs. He is so well balanced on his feet, I dunno I just have this feeling he will be walking at 10 months dont ask me why. My mum even says she reckons he is going to walk fairly early. Have to wait and see I guess hehe

Another funny thing, I had him in the jumperoo this morning and was watching him and I was like hmmmm has he grown overnight, he just look so much taller in it. I ended up having to put up another height level so now its on the highest level it will go PMSL.... somehow I think he will outgrow it before I have to take it back in March LOL

Bec - I was thinking of trying avocado next or maybe pumpkin

[thepixie]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

Been so busy the last few days with the party and a friend's bbq yesterday haven't had a chance to get on. Beth has been a bit unwell too, kind of unsettled and very blocked up. She has been finding it harder than usual to get to sleep, waking up in the night (I think that's because of teething pain and blocked nose) and sooooo clingy, I can hardly put her down without her screaming. So it has been a bit tricky and after NYE I've been very tired cause only got about four hours sleep. But the party mostly went brilliantly, we almost ate the whole pig and everyone had a great time. BUT there was one really horrible incident. The Bear was trying to finish off the pig carcass in the roast pit and there was a huge flare-up. One of our friends was by the pit and her clothes caught fire. Her husband tackled her to the ground and put out the flames, but she suffered some burns and was really upset because she got burned when she was a child. We put water on her got her upstairs out of her clothes and into a cool bath. Called the paramedics and they were here within about ten minutes and took her to RPA. She stayed the night there because of the pain, apparently the burns are just superficial and she will be OK but it was such a shame. Really marred what would otherwise have been a perfect night.
So anyway....
HAPPY FIVE MONTHS JOSIAH & GRACE!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS SQUIDIPA & JOSIAH ON DOUBLING BIRTH WEIGHT! great news for you guys!
Sash - YAY for Kye rolling! After that one time Beth hasn't really done it again! LOL about Kye outgrowing the Jolly Jumper - I bet he will!
