Lisa, they are getting to the age where you can give them almost anything. most of what you eat mashed is fine. just be aware of allergies etc

just popped in quickly to say that arianna has been busy at practising her rolling that i cant even blink! the flight over was good althoughi did get chomped on many times during her feeds because she was frustrated as i was. the plane seat is rather narrow so i have to put myself in the most awkward positions just to get her comfy n even then, she isnt. so poor thing was so exhausted by the time we got home. she even slept right thru the second league of the slight - a 50 min flight before arriving in penang.
the family is loving her n my mum is really bonding well with bub. i'm so happy to be home.

Hi everyone!!
Just popped in with updates, as who knows when Jensen'll start up!
Well, Jensen's baptism was today! It went really well. I did start to panic when the father asked to open the books to the baptism page and none of the godparents had arrived at the church yet. I knew they were there somewhere (we all travelled to Coolangatta from Brisbane for this !) I calmed down a bit when my sister and her husband (godparents) arrived with my mum. I asked if she saw Andrew's brother (other godparent) outside and she said yeah he's shaved his head. Well. I panicked again. James loves his hair. I realised that it was one of Andrew's friends and I felt better. But when James actually showed up, everyone else was in their sunday best and he shows up in jeans and a sonic the hedgehog tee. So not impressed. Ah well. Least he was there. There was no screaming or whingeing, as Ithought (Jensen doesn't like water on his head). So it all went well, til breakfast, but it wasn't anything really, so I wont bore you
Saturday Jensen had his first beach trip! MMM sand. Wasn't too keen on the bigger waves, but the smaller lapping ones were ok.
About 2hrs ago, he started to pull himself up on things and sidestep around them while holding on. He almost got around one obstacle, but lost his balance.
Is anyone else's bub giving cuddles/hugging/ holding on for dear life? Jensen's started and it's too cute. It's like he's saying I love you, pls don't leave me, but this is the only way I can tell you.
Better go, I'm exhausted and it's almost time for a tubbin'.
(just as a side thing... I hightly doubt I'm pg, but lately seem to have the pg like cravings for chocolate and eggs. Not together of course, but individually. ATM it's eggs but last week all I wanted was choc and nothing else.... anyone else, or I'm just weird?)
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Hi girls!
Its been a while since i have posted. No excuses just have'nt been bothered really!
Colby is going really well. She started proper crawling yesterday and is pulling herself up onto everything that she can. She has had a couple more viral infections since i last posted and we are not sure where it is coming from. We have bore and tank water so i am thinking it might be from that. I have been extra careful with it all.
She is still breastfeeding really well which i am totally over the moon about. I have been comp feeding at bed time now though. She started waking up a fair bit a night times for a few weeks hungry so i started giving her a formula bottle at those times.
She has also become a major mummies girl at plays it up too. When she got her last needles she found her lungs and screamed so loud. Now if i walk away or put her down, she does this scream!! Its blood curdling!!!! Its worst at 3am when she wakes for a feed and i walk away to make a bottle!
She is on 3 feeds a day now. Breakfast we have farex or wheatbix. Lunch is a tin of fruit with farex. And dinner is mash vegies with a bit of gravy. She totally loves her food!
Last time we had her stats done she was a bit over 8kgs, 79cm and HC41cm. So she is growing well.
I am doing well. Had my first Doula birth last monday. Everything went very well. Mum had a very quick labour and birth. I started my uni course at the start of the month and am juggling motherhood, doula-ing, study and housekeeping quite well! (touch wood).
Not much else to report. I have broadband internet now and will be in a lot more often.
Sorry for no personals. Will keep up from here!!
Hope you are all well....
Take Care!

Hai Ladies!
The theme of my post today is all about how cute and loveble our babies are. I'm so in loooove.
Wow at how all the bubs are doing so much, crawling, pulling up, side-skirting even! And yeah, I totally agree that the holding on tightly thing is just sooo lovely. I can't get enough cuddles! Do they only get cuter from here? I can't imagine it. 2nd time mums can answer that question lol.
Willa is only just starting to pull up on stuff but she isn't really crawling yet, but she'll attempt it if she really really wants to get to something- like my younger car, Asper. All I have to do is say, "HELLO ASPER!" and she starts searching for him like crazy. She does this thing where she'll get up high on her hands and feet and then goes back into a sitting position with one leg folded under her. But no super fast crawling like I've seen in other babies. But we keep the digicam on standby! I too love those wet kisses they give though. She sucks at my cheeks and it tickles. So wonderful. The belly laughs are great too. She finds me singing the alphabet hillarious (I do it really silly) and laughs so much her voice goes hoarse. Also, she's well and truly gotten over her stranger fear and has a smile for everyone now.
Misty - glad ur flight went ok and hope u have the best time at home
kim - at risk of repeating myself, all that stuff Hayden is doing right now is soooooooo cute
sara - congrats on bfeeding for so long. that's amazing so well done to u, mummy! Colby's nice and tall!
Scone- were u looking to get pregnant again? I thought I might have been too just this week as AF has been strangely late, but no go. Phew, I think!!
Ok, back to work!
take care,

Hi everyone,
Just a little hello to touch base, and say WOW! at all the babies that are pulling themselves up, babbling mum-mum, and generally becoming very grown up! It happens so so quickly... People always say to us "treasure these times cause they pass so quickly", but you don't really take any notice of that til you realise suddenly that you have to baby-proof your house!
Milla is going really well. I'm a little sad to say she is definitely not a clingy "give me my mum" kind of girl. She is such a Little Miss Independent. She just wriggles out of our arms to get back on the floor...I know I should be happy about that, but sometimes I'd love for her to be still enough for a 2 minute cuddle! She has just started crawling... only took 3 'steps' yesterday, but she figured out how to move her knees forwards, so I guess by the end of today she'll be trying to get out the back door! She had been kind of shuffling backwards, and going from the crawling position to the sitting position all the time.
She has two bottom teeth, but I think the next ones are causing her a bit of grief at the moment - we've had some awful nights lately. The best she has ever slept so far is from 7pm til 5am. THat has happened ONCE, and otherwise I am feeding her most nights at 2 or 3am still.
We have been sticking to fruit and veg, and rice cereal, and oat cereal so far. Once she gets to 7 months I'll start her on some dairy (cottage cheese), and some meat, and maybe wheat too. Although we have no allergies, DH's dad has Crohns and lots of food issues, so I am erring on the side of caution. She eats quite a lot of vegies as finger food now though - will happily chew away on a stick of broccoli or a chunk of soft fruit. We haven't found a vegie that she wont eat - beans, broccoli, swede, squash - she'll eat anything! Bet that will change one day though
Better go and continue baby-proofing the house. Got things to move, like the rubbish bin... where am I going to put that?? She will be eating out of it the minute she discovers it in the corner of the kitchen!

Well!
Things are starting to happen now! My baby boy is growing up too fast! Slow down lil man! Yesterday he got 2 teeth! He didn't have any when I left him with Nana at 10 but somewhere between 10 and 230 his teeth came through. Would have been before 230, as he'd been asleep for an hour before I got there, but we wont get into symantics. I just couldn't stop trying to feel them! Can't see them yet, but they're there and thru the gum. Can't wait to buy a tiny toothbrush and tiny toothpaste. There wasn't much leading up to the teeth either. Tuesday he was really clingy after I picked him up from Grandmas (I had to work for 3hrs so she looked after him) but I assumed that was coz he doesn't really know her and he fell off the bed
This morning, waiting for us to come and get him, he was crying calling out mum mum-mum mumm. Too cute.
Someone asked if I was planning a 2nd baby.... We are, but not right now. I think we might wait a few more mths - just to enjoy the baby-ness of Jensen.
I had other things to write, and do some personals, but I'm at work and really can't get away with typing too much with out looking too suspicious.
