xoxoxo
We are nicely settled in our own place down in Vic, we stayed with a friend for a little while but we decided to look for a place of our own- and rentals here are soooooo cheap!! (150 per week compared to the 350 we were paying up north!!!)
DH is busy busy busy- he found work the third day we were here at a Seed packing factory- he loves it as its something new and different and not dependant on the weather like his demolition or fencing were. Plus he gets to drive a forklift- which he loves!! And its good for his bung knee!!
I have joined two mothers groups here and its been really great, we live really close to town- which is something we havent done for a long time- but i love it- Shane and i cruise around in the pram and i hardly ever have to drive anywhere anymore!! All in all our move has been 100% fantastic and the best thing we could have done for ourselves!!
Well Shane has grown heaps since i last posted- well technically not physically growing too much more- he seems to have reached a peak and has stopped gaining so much weight- we are still yet to cross the 7kg mark, but he is looking healthy and in propertion so im not too worried.
He is rolling EVERYWHERE now- both ways!! He makes it sooooo hard come nappy changing time!! He just wriggles everywhere!! He is a pro at comando crawing, and gets right up on his back legs and kind of does a hand stand and then pushes himself forward, very funny to watch!! He is cute, he hasnt managed to get on all fours yet- he swaps from using his legs to his arms, but hasnt co-ordinated doing both at the same time, but im sure he is not far away!!
He is getting better at sitting on his own, but not 100% there just yet, i still need to stay close coz he tends to face plant, and our new house has wooden floors, so i am a bit wary. But i can sit him in the corner of the couch and he sits on his own and then has something soft to fall against when he sways!!
We have put him in a jollie jumper which he just LOVES!!! He bounces constantly!! Giggles and laughs the time away!! So cute to watch!!
We have been doing some solids, mainly just farex with BM, but we have started to add some pureed fruit in the morning and vege at night, so far he has tried apple, banana and pear and pumpkin and sweet corn, he is not too sure about the pumpkin!! I think he is getting close to trying some finger foods, but i have been a bit wary, i might try a rusk!!
Teeth are not far wawy- but mind you i have been saying that for a few months now!! lol I am sure they are pushing through slowly, he is a drool machine and we have had a few unsettled night where he will cry and munch down hard on my nipples!!! Oh the fun of Bfeeding!!!
He isnt sleeping through anymore, he wakes a few times during the night- and i have gotten lazy and just bring him into bed with us- which i think i will have to stop doing soon coz i think some nights he is just waking up coz we are not there, he isnt hungry he just wants to snuggle, which is cute and sweet, but i think he needs to learn to sleep alone at sometime!!
Oh and this week we have a mystery rash!! It started as a nappy rash thing on his very lower belly (like just above his willy) and then has progressed to spreading ALL over his body!! We have been to the Dr who thinks it is excema, but i am not so sure- it has been super hot here, and it seemed to get aggrivated when we have been in the car and out in the heat- so i am hoping its just a heat rash and will go away soon, if it hasnt disapeared in the next few days i will go back to the dr for a 2nd opinion, it doesnt seem to bother him at all, its not itchy, just blotchy and bumpy and red, i think i am more worried about it then he is!! any ideas or anyone who has had anything similar, i would love some peace of mind!!
Well thats pretty much it form us- i have read a few posts, but not all (there were waaaaay too many!!) But i hope everyone is doing really well and all bubs are healthy and happy!!!
HAPPY 7TH MONTH NAKITA!! I cant beleive how fast our bubs are growing up!!!!!!!
Glad to hear the move went well. Which town are you in? Shane sounds like he is doing just wonderfully and you are not alone in the broken nights. There are a few of us experiencing the same thing.
Jett also got a rash in the nappy area the other day at the start of this heat wave, but I put it down to heat rash and he has spent most of the week lying on a towel and mat nude and it has cleared up just nicely. So you could try that, maybe even put some nappy rash cream on and just let the air do it's thing. I hope it clears up soon for you.
Thanks MT, we are in Corryong VIC- yeah the nurse at the hospital said it may have been heat rash, thats when it was mainly in his nappy area, we have tried no nappy, plenty of barrier cream and keeping him cool, but it flares up even when i touch him, after it spread i went to the dr and thats when he said excema, but that doesnt seem right to me coz neither shane or i get it and it doesnt seem itchy. I am hoping it clears soon!!
Just a quick one from me - Kye is asleep. This morning for brekky was apple, mango, pear and banana - he it!
Had 3 tablespoons full with a bit of farex. Doesnt really like farex so I have to disguise it hehe
Cant wait till the 17th Feb I can put him onto the 6+ month stuff
I'm going to buy the Rafferty's Banana Porridge and might even have a look at the 6m Vaalia yoghurts too.
MT - hows the weather today in Melbourne... still hot I guess?
Squid - bugger about the photos. I'm in the same boat. Our home pc has died and that had all the labour and hospital pics on it. I am kinda bummed I didnt transfer them onto my laptop, I thought I did but nup havent so unless I can work out what is wrong with the drive I guess I have lost them might take it into a computer place and see if they can fix it. It keeps turning itself off so it might be something as simple as just needing new hardware
Anyways thats it from me for now, off to get some jobs done.
