hi! Back again!
Before I launch into all about Jensen, I've lost a total of 8kg now. I weighed myself at the chemist yesterday and had to go back, just to make sure I was seeing the right numbers... 10 to go til I'm where I want to be!
Well, we have officially started solids! I was trying to stave it off for a little bit longer, but I caved. Jensen had had some farex every now and then before, so I tried to give him that every day for his one meal a day for a week start. He really doesn't like it. So after 3 days, I gave him a lil bit of farex and some tinned apple. Well. We love Apple! It goes everywhere, but mmmm, he loves it!
I have organised Jensen's baptism. It's the 16th of March, down in Coolangatta (near the QLD/NSW border). I've only just sent out the invitations. I put our address on the envelope, but the invite says RSVP 8th, but doesn't have how or who to RSVP. I'm such a goof.
With the car seat, I wont be turning it round til it says to. 12kg or something.
Jensen is finally learning to go to sleep on his own!! Woo Hoo!! This morning I put him in his cot and he cried when I walked away, but put some relaxing music on for him and he was asleep before the first song ended. Beethoven's Fur Elise, if you want to see if it works for your baby. I had never played it to him before the other week and he settles when he hears it. Its great. It's on my phone, so I can take it with me
Jensen has also started sleeping better again. We are now down to 2 wakings a night, 3 last night tho - the 3rd being "oh lets play". Ended up putting him into bed with us for about 30 mins til he was asleep.
Does anyone's baby have a comfort item(excluding a dummy)? Jensen has to have a piece of material, the same fabric as boxershorts, tied in a knot. As for dummies, i want to get rid of ours, any tips?
Jensen entered a baby competition at the local shops and got runner-up in the Prince of the Day and 2nd in Cutest Boy !! (I don't know if mentioned that in the last post, so I put it in again, coz I'm proud of him!) There was a mother there when pulled up getting stuff from her car, along the pram handles was a selection of clothes for her baby girl, none for her son. The lil girl had a different outfit on for each category, the little boy didn't. They didn't even get a runner-up ribbon. I think the judges saw they were trying too hard. The boy that won most of the categories was pakistani, or something along those lines. I don't have anything against them, but he sure wasn't the cutest etc. But they were the only (how do I put this politically correctly?) non-caucasian ppl there. Maybe thats why he won everything - so the judges didn't look racist. He wasn't even happy about being there and just sat in a shopping trolley. Oh well.
Kim - congrats on Hayden crawling! Jensen is so almost there! He may not be actually "crawling" the whole time, but can cross the loungeroom in no time! Also, he sat up from the crawling position for the first time yesterday!! He's been going from the sitting position to crawling for a bit. I noticed you've changed your signature.... We have our fingers crossed for you. Good luck!
Welcome to Tobyturtle!
Bec - Jensen is the same re: sleep is for suckers. Only when mummy's home tho, at nana's he sleeps for up to 2 hrs.
Sonia - No, each set of needles we've had, he's been grumpier and grumpier after them, so it'll be done all in one hit. Good luck with it tho
Misty - Jensen has no teeth yet, but pinches when he bites my nipple if he's frustrated. I'd love to hear any tips, so when the time does come round, I'm armed!
Hope you had a great w/e.
Rhianon and Jensen
