Trish-I was reading about baby-led intro of solids in the Gymbaroo mag. It (very basically) is allowing your bubba to choose what they eat through exploration of food – providing them with a range of soft finger foods and allowing them to explore it themselves rather than giving them pureed food. They comment that it is especially applicable for BF bubs who are used to regulating their own food intake. Just interested to see if anyone was doing it.
Re: tantrums, I’ve noticed that Gabe does a similar thing – the sooky cry he does kind of goes : aha aha aha aha and he looks at me with sad eyes.
Buzzie- Sorry, can’t help on the TTC without AF info, have you had a look in the TTC threads, I’m sure there is a wealth of info there. TTC for DH and I includes booking in for IVF ICSI when we are ready lol! Pretty exciting though!
Nic- I had a look at the solids video, sooo cute, I love the faces they pull when trying a new taste! I’m glad to see that my DH isn’t the only one who waits for me to pick up bubs.
Alicia- I’m glad to hear that Olivia seemed to enjoy her first sleep in her cot. Hope that tonight is the same
BekZ- Like Loren, Gabe is also in the room next to us. I’m waiting to move him down into his own bigger room until he sleeps through more at night (atm he wakes up way to often and would only wake up DD if he was in a room near hers).
LorRae-Woohoo for your good sleep. Fingers crossed there is more to come!
Morgan- Hope that you get a better sleep tonight!
Jus- I’ve got no idea what snoedels and ookies are – sounds like something from ‘The night garden’ hehe. Are they like Taggies?
Michelle- I understand how you feel, my DH was home sick for a week and I couldn’t wait for him to go back to work! Is he back at work soon?
Gabe has been having lots of little tanties over the last few days – don’t know whats wrong, but I hope he settles down soon. Hoping to get out of the house tomorrow to check out new dishwashers – lets hope it eventuates, by the time I get everything ready with Kyla and Gabe I sometimes wonder whether it’s worth it – Trish I don’t know how you do it!

Michelle: :hug: If possible pop baby on his lap and say a cup of tea would be nice and go find a good book and curl up on the couch.. Watch his jaw drop ;)
Morgan: I hope you got some great sleep last night. I hear you on the scream that bursts your ear drums. omg Olivia is so loud sometimes.
Jus: Olivia doesn't have anything like a lovey yet but my boys do. Little cot sized blankets and bears. I am kinda hoping Olivia doesn't develop that habit to be honest even though it is cute it can be very annoying picking up blankets and bears all the time. My eldest doesn't have one just my 4 and 2 yr old.
Alicia: That sounds so adorable.. ignore what I said above. I now want Olivia to have one :lol:
Carrie: Thanks. I have videoed all my kids having solids for the first time and they all the same face excet Olivia was the only one to smile like that :lol: That is interesting about the baby led solids. i don't think it is for me but I am going to have a read up on it today. I might introduce finger foods earlier with Olivia then I did with the boys..
Can I just say WOO HOO. I have just had the BEST nights sleep. Olivia slept 7pm to 6am.. Can you believe it. Silly me didn't get to bed till late but I still had 6 and a half hours sleep which is the most I have had in over 6 months.. I don't feel all foggy this morning.. you know when ou wake and you can't lift out of that sleepiness? well only had that for about 2 seconds this morning..
Olivia has fed and is happily playing on the floor with Ethan. they are boh laying under her play gym :lol: Still wet and rainy here.. Going to have to get out and about today cabin fever is setting in.
Well all kidlets awake now.. Jacob just started whining. WHY?? He has been all cuddled up next to me for the last 40 minutes and now he whines.. DH still in bed. I will be a good wifey and let him sleep ;)

LoriRae, I got out of the canteen duty. DP did the BBQ there for a while until Noah's game started.
Nic, sooooo jealous on your fantastic sleep you got huni. WTG Olivia. Now send some sleepy vibes to Abbey.
Michelle, hugs huni. You know what I'd say to your DH !! Perhaps I shouldn't write it down. I do agree with Nic though. Just put the baby in his arms, go make yourself a cuppa and sit down for 10 and enjoy it. Or, when he says a cuppa would be nice and say yes it would thanks I'd love one. Oh and get off your lazy a$$ and get the remote yourself.
Morgan, poor Vicky, she's had a bad run lately too. I hope she get's better soon enough. Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to get up and go out for a while kid free. I hope you got some sleep lastnight.
Jus and Alicia, I "think" I know of what you are talking about. Have seen them online before. Great idea. But nope, don't have one.
Carrie, this morning I don't know how either. Abbey is whinging on the lounge room floor. Tehya is crying cos I yelled at her for making a noise and I'm way too tired to deal with any of them. Sounds like a great idea with the baby led food. So the idea with the finger food is to give them soft fruits etc I am guessing. Not like you can give them a carrot stick ;)
So very tired this morning. Partly my fault and partly Abbey's. I went out with a gf lastnight to a homewares party. Stuff was nice enough but tbh there is no point in me buying it. Nowhere to put it around here and my kids would wreck it anyway. Got home just before 11, but there was a movie on tv (behind enemy lines) that I started to watch and ended up staying up til 12.30. Abbey was up several times and Tehya was up by 5am as usual. I got up around 7.30 after Abbey spewed all through my bed, again.
Going to be one very long day here me thinks. Weather is great for bumming around, but I have arranged to go out with a gf to a market thing they are holding nearby with baby stuff there. Not that I need anything, Just for a squizz.
Have a great Sunday all :D

I hope you end up having a great day Trish :) I know the feeling when you are just to tired to care about doing anything.. lol
Olivia is down for a nap now and when she wakes I will offer some farex.. I want to go out and do something today but have no idea what. Too wet to go to the beach or park..
