Hi all,
It is quiet in here at the moment isn't it?
MofM- Oh I am feeling for you hope it eases up soon.
Buzzie- I am terrified of the stairs... we really need to put a baby gate up there. Dh had a nephew who passed away at 10 months- mum left him unattended of two minutes to go to the loo, he climbed half way up the stairs then fell down and broke his neck. Very sad. Be careful with them.
Ty is up in his cot going feral... screeching the house down (not in a distressed way- that's just his new sound- a high pitch screech). I wish he would just go to sleep- we are supposed to be doing a swimming lesson at 11 and I'm not taking him if he's over tired, it's just absolutely no fun for either of us.
The downside to this crawling thing is that I now have to get up when he wakes up- can't doze next to him in bed cause he will crawl himself off the bed!!
ETA- We missed the Sydney show- Ty was too little to enjoy it then anyway. But I was thinking this morning we might take him to Taronga zoo for his birthday... dh and i got engaged there (how romantic) so it will be a bit special

Hugs for the mums with sick bubs.....I know how you feel, it was my turn last week.
I am getting so bored of Loren's diet!! So far she is having pumpkin, sweet pot, potato, green beens, zuchinni, carrots, corn, spinach, lamb and chicken (not much of), apple, pear, banana, avocado. A bit of baby cereal here and there. I have introduced little bits of bead to suck on and corn cruskits and star pasta. Can I give her yoghurt yet?
Lauren- I know what you mean, my dog drives me batty too. She was my baby before Ty came along
Bekz- Hi I'm pretty sure you can do yoghurt. A lot of the baby yoghurts have sugar in them so double check the ingrediants. Ty has Jalna yoghurt (bit spensive but pot set so no preservatives) and loves it. IKWYM about being bored with the diet- Ty eats the same as Loren except for the meat and pasta. Bring on the family foods I say! But he's not good with chewing or lumps yet.
Lori - Loren hates lumps too. I have started steaming the potato then grating it into sweet potato and Loren seems to accept the lumpy consistency. We only eat Jalna here so I may try her on some
Bekz, yes yoghurt is from 6 months, there my first yoghurts Ash loves them but im obviously not giving too much, he prefers custard so it the one dairy i let him have.
Lori, tya was my baby girl before Ash too. she gets occasional cuddle times now (if ashs asleep lol) but i swear its like having 2 kids... she snatches EVERYTHING he eats..and if he is in his high chair she sits underneth waiting for something to fall, in his walker she jumps up on the tray and runs off with it and always sits right on top of him! no matter how many times i pull her away cos he hurt her, she runs straight back and sits on him! grrrrr i counted 5 times the other day she cried cos he pinched her and she STILL came back... i dont get it!!! - thankgod shes only a chihuahua and doesnt crush him! hehe
Bek: Olivia hates lumps too.. I have tried yoghurt with her but she doesn't like cold foods Or at least I think thats what the problem is. I quite often have to reheat her meal halfway through cus it isn't warm enough for her liking lol...
Lauren: I think it looks cool (ticker pic)
Olivia's diet is boring too. I worry I don't give her enough variety.. I think sub conciousl I am holding off till she can feed herself.. We have tried a couple bits of meat but she doesn't like lumps so there isn't much point! Tonight she had potato, pimpkin, sweet potato and zuccini.. other nights she will have those veges with broccili and carrot.. but thats pretty much it.. I bought some spinach and haven't cooked it yet..
I will try again with her sitting at the table with a bunch of veges in front of her.. Oh and she eats sandwiches.. and custards..
Well time for custard here now.. She is just resting after a full bowl of veges
oo I hadn't thought of banana and Avacado together.. Olivia can take or leave Avocado (forgot that one in previous post) I did make her a avacado sandwich the other day and she loved that...
Bek: Do you use white or brown bread? I have heard white bread is harder for them as it sticks to the roof of thier mouth..
Ty looooves mashed avo and banana. He also loves sweet potato and apple, cold, mixed together. I'm still making those bake in the oven rusk things with wholemeal bread.
Lauren- Our poor dog used to come out with us on weekends and come inside and sleep on the kitchen floor.. not anymore. She's a staffy and just mental- too big and energentic to be around Ty much. He loves her though- when we get the two of them together he thinks she's hysterical
Hey girls, just a quicky to do with what you're talking about... will come back later with updates and personals.
Kayla's diet isn't very exciting either.. but we are slowly branching out. I gave her bread the other day and she was absolutely fine.. why was I so scared? LOL. We have Helga's light rye here, and I gave her a crust with vegemite on it. She does shove too much in her mouth at once, but she sorts it out hehe. I'm giving her more and more finger food (coz i'm too lazy to prepare anything LOL) and she had same as us tonight.. she chomped away on my lamb cutlet bone, and she had carrots & broccoli tonight too. Wolfed it all down.
OK.. gotta go.. this is Tallon's 3rd sleep where he's putting himself to sleep (yay!) Requires me popping in there for hugs and kisses regularly.. but I think we're onto a good thing. He doesn't get himself up, and when I tell him he's being so good for staying in bed he's all smiles and proud of himself.
Lori - Can you pm me your rusk recipe please? Loren hates shop bought ones.
I might try some yoghurt, I am a bit funny about dairy though. Loren is on lactose free formula. I guess I can try.
Liz - yey for Tallon. Loren loves lamb bones too
I made some chicken stock from stratch yesterday and I have frozen small amount in ice cubes. I figure she can get used to the taste of chicken before the texture.
Best go DH has been really good today and he needs company...oh probably not that sort but who knows!!!
Hey girls, I'm still around too. Abbey has been sick too. Teething and a shocking nose and lingering chunky cough. All this adds up to a very broken night with Abbey crying and wanting to feed but can't. I took her to the Dr's as slapped cheek was going around the school and I thought she may have gotten it. Dr said no, cos her cheek wasn't red then, had been days prior to it though, I just thought it was her teeth, still could have been. Anyway, now she has that viral rash all over her so.... Anyways, nothing can be done about it.
Me, I have woken up in the middle of the night with the shakes, chills, fever, aches, headache and bloody mastitis! I feel like crap. Have taken some nurofen but the headache is still there and of course my boob is killing me. Told DP before he went to work and his response, if your still sick tomorrow I might take the day off! He knows that the first day is the worst with it. A hole. There is no way he'd have to cope with the kids on his own if he was feeling like this. GRRRRR. Wish his balls were still sore from his vasectomy.... LOL.
Sorry for no personals. I am going to crawl back into my hole now and die
