[BekZ]

I read in my baby book 9 months plus for wheetbix

[aussienic]

I wondered the same thing about Weetbix.. I might leave it anther month..

[kitten2b]

yay I can start, much easier to feed the kids the same thing in the morning, Sofia has had a few spoons and loved it, this morning I gave her a few milk soaked cheerios and she nearly flew out of her high chair to get more.

And another tooth has appeared.

this morning I gave her a few milk soaked cheerios and she nearly flew out of her high chair to get more.

And another tooth has appeared.

That made me laugh.. Thats how Olivia was when she had avacado for the first time..

and yay on teeth..

Olivias teeth are grazing my poor nipples..

I sorted her clothes.. one full garbage bag to go to a good home and I took out a handful of things to give to either my sister or a friend.. sniff sniff.. She is all grown up now..

so now I have 10 drawers of clothes still i will change her twice a day every day lol...

It is a mixture of winter and summer gear though and some 0's

Ethan has a friend over tonight so I am letting them stay up a bit later.. The 3 little ones are in bed asleep

Hi girls,
i havent been in here for ages. Ethan is now 7 months old and still no sign of teeth. He can sit up now but still isnt crawling. So he is offically my baby baby. The other 3 were all crawling by now. He is starting to sleep a little bit better when he doesnt have a cold - how long until winter ends again?? I prefer winter to summer but it appears that my little boys dont. Ethan eats weetbixes for breakfast and has done for nearly a month now. He loves them eats a whole one now. I wish he would eat home cooked food. He has to have it with no lumps at all otherwise he throws it up at me. Drives me insane. I dont buy them ones with meat in it as he wont eat that but when i get him to eat mashed potato i put some gravy over it. Does the same thing and he chews lumps of meat at meal times. The health nurse actually gave me some good advice that i hadnt gotten before. She said to leave the mashed potato, custard or yoghurt until tea time as it is a bit harder and settles in their bellies making them the fullest for the best sleeps of a night time. Ethan has been sleeping alot better since then.
We are off to the train musem open day tomorrow as we get in for free. Ethan will get to see the inside for the first time since he was born. Jack loves going he is obsessed with trains at the moment.
Hope all the sick bubs get better soon and that they all sleep well tonight.
Morgan - sorry to have missed you. We will have to catch up soon

Jas - don't worry too much re the teeth, 2 weeks ago Sofia had none, today she she has 3. Have fun at the trains

[TeenaRose]

Louise I think I have that exact same dress your Miss is wearing in your ticker..If so its gorgeous ....

I have Olivia's needles done on friday soI weighed her (nudie) and she weighs 7.2kg and is 67cm in lenght she has no teeth at all yet either

[kitten2b]

I must admit, I was a bit worried re the teeth, especially as Sof was nearly 9 months, but she is otherwise healthy and eating ok. The outfit is actually overall over an espirit skivy, it is one of my favourites as well. She does have a similar outfit in a pinafore dress

Hi everyone, Thankyou for all your thoughts. The funeral is on tuesday so Im leaving to Adelaide at 4am! and wont get back home till around midnight that day so its gonna be a LONG day. I cant believe how many people in my family are going to be there, and some I have never seen before so as I said to my nanna its great we can get together at last as a family and Ash will meet everyone for the first time, but so sad it had to be under these circumstances.

I just wanted to post as I have got everyones details for the birthday pressie /secret santa thing.. and i have just emailed Haroula who should be back from holidays so i will wait till she messages me and tell everyone who they got, im just letting everyone know last chance to put ur name in now if you want in. But please dont feel pressured anyone.. im not telling everyone whos in it so no one feels bad for not being part.

Im moving back to the old house today with the 3 dogs - ahhh fun! and staying there till wednesday then moving back to new house.. crazy!
Ash is almost crawling now, he sits upright then leans forward and crawls a few times then falls. He now calls for me and says mum and as of yesterday, nanna

Hope all is well with everyone.....

Lauren.. Funerals are never nice but fr some reason it is when families all get together...

I got mad at my family last year as this is what we all did.. My Grandmum died and all of a sudden all her grandkids were there.. I felt like smacking them and saying why didn't you make the effort before she died.. anyways... Sorry you have to go through it.. Your Pop died on Grandmums 1yr anniversary..

Haroula is back.. Was chatting with her on msn the other day.. If she pops up today I will let her know you messaged her about the pressie swap...

Las night I was woken at 1am by Olivia crying in her sleep.. This is the 2nd time she as done it, last time I picked her up as she was so sad but she became inconsolable.. so this time I stood beside her cot patting her back and whispering quietly to her it was so sad.. 45 minutes it went on for.. poor baby..

4am she woke for a feed then 6... lucky thing is back in bed now..

its a little chilly here this morning. I turned the heater off and opened some windows and now Jacob and I are cold!!

Hi all,
ella's still got no teeth, but has been in terrible pain with teething for over a week now. The worst ones seem to be the molars which won't come thru yet, so will be curious to see what happens. Think that was behind the early morning wakeups which nothing could console. I hardly ever give her drugs, but have had to keep up a steady supply of panadol (day) & nurofen (night - lasts longer). i hate doing it, but she's just in so much pain & is not herself. We're holding out til she just can't cope & then giving her the bare minimum.
Can't believe my little girl sat up & chomped on a piece of chicken (from our chinese takeaway - naughty me) & celery. So excited she's finally into food that I'm breaking all sorts of rules. No allergies in our fam & I sucked off all the sauce - she loved it.
Yay for Rafferty's I say. It's a winner here, and I know it's good for her!

I think Ella's got that dress you guys were talking about too - is it Max & Tilly? If it is I just bought a pair of shoes online that match it. Very cute!

We've actually had some good night's sleep here - miss just wakes for a feed. That's when I give the nurofen & then she's going thru mostly til 6.30. It's so nice to get some sleep at last. I dunno what will happen when she's not being doped, but I"ll enjoy it for now. Giving her a chance to put herself to sleep seems to be working so far. She goes off with a tiny grumble after 5 min or so most times. Mummy is so much happier and so is Daddy!

hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Buzzie - Hi hope you and your family are ok. I wanted to be apart of the Birthday present thing but I thought that I missed out. What do I need to do?

Jus - Glad you are having a bit more sleep. Loren seems to be getting better and better. She is self settling a lot more and yep I am a happier mummy too.

Hi everyone

[Buzzie]

bekz - its not too late, thats why i was giving everyone heaps of time to decide if they wanted to or not, just email me ur postal address and the email you prefer as im not PM everyone - too hard - and ill let u know who u got, my email is buzzandash@hotmail.com

[Lolli]

Hi all,
Lauren- Hopethe funeral goes ok :hugs:
Jus- Bet Ella loved her Chinese We are being a bit naughty here too- had a chunk of frozen mango today. Not supposed to but he's alreadt had that apple and mango gel so I figured we'd be ok. Loved it too.
Hmmm Ty is not sitting up yet and has no teeth. I'm not worried about the teeth- still bfing so the longer he is gummy the better!! But the sitting up is starting to worry me. I know he can do it but he just doesn't seem to want to- he'd rather be on his belly on the floor. Almost crawling. He tries to move forward on his hands and knees but ends up faceplanting.
We had Ty's christening yesterday. It was such a long day and he was such a trooper, very well behaved as long as mum was holding him- velcro baby. My arms are so sore today. Got lots of very groovy presents, some cool new toys, and a whole stack of silver moneyboxes and photo frames- 11 altogether

[Harri]

Hi everyone,

hope you are all doing well!!?>!?!

We're back from holidays and it was fantastic.. ! Chrissie did so well! Am really proud of my girl.. while away she went from being held seated to sitting all on her own and NOT falling over in 2 days!! WOW we also got a tooth! wooohooooo When you hold her by the arms she walks to you!! so impressed!

She did real well travelling too!.. such a trooper!!

I'm in for the pressies!

At the moment am finding it hard to keep up with posting and getting things back in order from the holidays! Now that Chrissie is sitting up it's easier to move her from room to room, so hope that i'll be able to check in a little more!

hugs to all
xx

[Harri]

ohhh forgot to add, for anyone who has Face book, i have loaded lots of holiday pics there... you are welcome to join my friends

(i seem to have issues loading photos on BB lately!)

[Liz]

Lori - Tallon sat before crawling, but Kayla seems to have crawled before sitting. If I sit her up she doesn't really last that long.. like she doesn't want to. But she's now starting to sit herself up from crawling on her tummy... so it is possible for them to crawl before sitting heh. I'm sure Ty will get it soon

Sorry, can't really stay and catch up properly.. have had a busy weekend and we're all trying to catch up on sleep and housework!

Will be back soon

[Tinsel]

Wow Haroula, you go away and look what happens - teeth and sitting. We are off to visit my family on Thursday so maybe we will get teeth too although I think, like LoriRae, the longer she is gummy the better considering she is STILL biting. Not at every feed but just about - sigh.

Monique sits up pretty much all day but doesn't have any interest rolling around the floor and will tolerate some tummy time. She is really strong but no sign of crawling.

Gosh I am tired today. She has been waking through the night since just after 5 months and it is all catching up with me. Totally zonked.

BekZ glad to hear everything is settling down for you.

Nic, how sad that Olivia cries in her sleep. Poor little darling. Monique whimpers sometimes in her sleep. Wonder what they are thinking about?

Buzzie, big hugs for tomorrow. You sure are going to have one long emotional day.

I need a cup of tea so am off to re-energise.
