Babies Born December 2007 #21

yep, Sofia is 1 next Wednesday

hehe Nic - well usually he's grazing ALL day. But I was fedup with it.. he didn't want to eat what I gave him for lunch, so I said he wasn't getting anything else. He agreed to it.. so I had to follow through. Worked out well, coz he wolfed down his dinner, asked for more vegies, had dessert and a cup of chocolate milk! I couldn't believe it! Should starve him more often! LOL. Not that we have a problem with him eating, but he has started to play his food a bit too much rather than eating, and I'd say it's coz he doesn't have a ravenous appetite coz of the grazing.

I just watched the baby gorilla be born on The Zoo. OMG - what a clever mum Down on all 4's birthing, and whips bub straight up to the boob

[Tinsel]

Liz, I just saw that too, wasn't it amazing and she is such a good mummy.

I am feeling better today but DH has it now and he is really sick with it poor darling.

Thanks for the food ideas, I have added a few to my shopping list. I usually give Monique a sandwich for lunch too. Gosh, doesn't vegemite go absolutely everywhere! Banana is a shocker too. Monique has been doing this thing lately where she will have a few mouthfuls and then will spit out the next few and then eat again. Don't know what's going on there but it takes ages to feed her sometimes.

Nic - Olivia is a clever girl. She will be walking in no time. You sound happy which is lovely.

Lori - I hope your DH gets a kick in the behind.

[aussienic]

Louise: Have you got anything planned?

Liz: My kids graze all day and eat a huge meal at night.. Well except Isaac.. he drives us mental.. Eats and eats all day but won' eat dinner or not much then wakes at the crack of dawn and wants breakfast *sigh* I make thm wait till after 6 now..

i wish I had seen that Zoo show.. What channel was it on? i am an hour behind you guys?

tinsel: hope you and Dh get rid of this bug

[Liz]

it was on at 7.30. Dunno the channel - it was before that Find my Family show.

[kitten2b]

Nic - we are having a little party on the 1st Nov for her at my Aunty's house.

[M D]

Girls a couple of you have mentioned giving your bubs sandwichs for lunch. I am fast running out of ideas apart from vegies, meat, fish, chikcen and the like.

Where to next for their meals.....I'd love to hear what solids you are all feeding your little ones now ( I guess they are not really babies anymore - where has the time gone)

[Buzzie]

Nic - Thats great your having a good week Yes Ash did sleep fine after the Huge 'nap' which was really good of him. i was worried i would of broken his routine. As for birthdays i dont know what ill do, its bit hard being 2 days before chrissy and in summer. I would of like to go to the zoo but might be too warm, and you cant really do a birthday cake there so ill prob just have something here.

Tinsel - Big hugs, hope you get better soon. How terrible to have gastro.

Lori - I agree with the girls, Dh needs kick up the toosh! i hope you are doing ok, i hate partners doing that. Unfortunatly Rob has a heap of female friends and they are all very flirty. But he knows he only has to slip up once!

Kts - I dont think you need to do anything extra special for bubs, just give then what ever your eating. Ash has a piece of toast with me every morning ( smooshes more than he eats) and then hell eat a bowl of porriage. Lunch he has a sandwich or a jar of his fav organic food (LOVES them) then afternoon snack, custard and some biccies or yoghurt and a banana and then what ever i have for dinner or if its not appropriate i have frozen veggies ive cooked and put in the freezer.

Well everythings pretty good here, ash is waving and saying byebye now and its SOO cute! Gymbaroo today YIPPIE!! Weighed him too and hes 12.1kg i thought he would be more than that but hes obviously slowed down.

Last night i had severe pains in one of my boob and its still hurting, i so hope im not getting mastitis feels like ive been punched really hard and its all swollen! Is that the start of it???? I did stop taking the pill yesterday cos im so over being uncontrollably hormonal for a month straight! grrh

Massive house cleaning day today, i am looking forward to it actually, weird i know.

Have a good day everyone

If its mastitis you'll have red patches on your boob, you'll have cold/flu symptoms etc... check in with your GP. When you have mastitis you know about it, your whole body feels it, its yucky. Could be a blocked duct, so try massaging your breast under a hot shower (without burning yourself of course) but see if you can massage it out. A blocked duct can get worse.

[Liz]

Yeah I agree - nothing special needed these days for their food. Just give them whatever you're having (unless it's too unhealthy! LOL) and remember to avoid the recommended things re allergies etc (strawberries and seafood and stuff) But having said that, I shared my strawberry yoghurt with Kayla a while ago and didn't think twice (until after LOL). I gave her scrambled egg a few weeks ago too, I don't bother separating egg white & egg yolk to test for reactions. But then I'm sure she had had egg anyway, chomping on my chop bone that had been crumbed.. and also in fried rice. *shrug*. I guess I'd be more careful if we had allergies in the family.

Well, we have a property inspection today which I forgot about until yesterday. Thankfully the house isn't in too bad a state LOL.

Kayla is waving hello & goodbye too.. so cute. She opens and closes her hand sometimes as well as shakes her hand about.. but I'm not sure if she's signing for milk or waving! maybe both - I just haven't distinguished them yet LOL. I've also noticed she says 'da' for dummy. So she's starting to try to make sounds which is cute. Still not saying mama when I want her to, only when she's really upset. I'm pretty sure when we look in the mirror she says 'dat' and points.. oh and she points at everything at the moment too LOL.. so I think she's saying 'who's that' coz I say that all the time when we look in the mirror. heh.

I'm hoping she'll start signing soon. She understands a lot of them.. if I sign 'ball' she turns around and looks for the ball.. and milk she understands.

woops - gotta go.. she's awake and she was sleeping on our bed.

[Tinsel]

Liz - Monique points at everything too, so cute. She does the whole arm wave and says hi and bye. I was thinking about signing this morning. Are there universal signs that you use or can you make up your own?

Buzzie - I hope your boob gets better soon. Did you try massaging under hot water like your sis suggested? I have to tidy the house too but I'm not looking forward to it as much as you

kts - Monique loves her yoghurt and custard so she will have one or the other after lunch and dinner. She has fruit or biscuit for a snack in the afternoon. Toast, weetbix or cereal for breakfast. If we are out, she has a jar of food which she loves warm or cold. She also loves mashed potato and I mixed in sweet potato as well for a change. She didn't like tuna but will try her on other fish. I have added a few more things to the shopping list so she has a bit of variety each day.

I can see a tooth on the bottom gum so she might actually have a tooth soon.

Monique was trying to say book yesterday but couldn't get the k sound out. She is a little groover too so if you start singing she will make singing noises and bops up and down to dance. I let go of her yesterday when she was standing and she balanced so well for a couple of seconds and then she wouldn't do it again. She still doesn't like walking behind her walker and wants to hold our hands instead.

I just got home from a bike ride.. was sooo scary lol.. Jacob wanted to ride his bike and well a 3 yr old on a bike is scary but add hills and roads and well I had about 4 heart attacks Also trying to keep an eye on Isaac and make sure we got Ethan to school on time.. but jake did brilliantly and Olivia was such a good girl and is now napping..

I actually got a decent nights sleep last night and I didn't get out bed till 5:30 and that was only cus I heard the boys up.. I turned the Tv on and went back to bed for half an hour

now I can finaly sit down and eat brekky.. aahh

[Buzzie]

yes my boob is red ouchies!!! but no cold symptoms yet, that why i wasnt sure wat it was. Thanks kell.

Nic - thats so nice getting out together, im not surprised you were nervous omg so would i!

Liz - ash has strawberry yoghurt too, loves that one, i only give him the baby sized ones tho to see how he would go.

Well house cleaning has turned into a brand new bedroom for ash YaY,. now mum has the shop the office is free and im giving ash finally his own bedroom so i can get all his stuff out my room today, thank god!! now he has his own room and a huge playroom, lucky boy

[aussienic]

are any of the bubs here not liking cold food? Olivia wn't eat yoghurt or her veges if they go cold.. Cheese is ok not sure why that is. but she doesn't even like cold water.. At first I thought it was because it was winter but now that summer is here she still doesn't like it..

Lauren: i hope you aren't getting Mastitis.. fingers crossed its justa little glitch and it wil be gne buy this afternoon

[Lolli]

Hi all,
I'm pleased to report dh feel suitably guilty and is on his best, most charming behaviour. Even taking me out to dinner tonight
Had a shocking night- Ty was up and bright as a button at 3am. Went back to sleep at about 6ish then slept till 8:30. So we are waaaay out of wack today. But the weather is so cold and windy that it is ok- I don't really want to leave the house anyway.

Ty won't eat any of the foods we eat, doesn't matter what it is. So I'm still cooking all His Majesty's food seperately

Nic- Ty actually prefers his cold, even things like mixed vegies and pasta and florets of brocoli. Sometimes I think it's because his teeth are sore.

Lauren- Ouch! Hope your boob gets better

Liz- I think Ty says Da for dummy too. He waves to people when they walk in our out of the room, and I think he might have learned to shake his head for 'no'. If you say no to him, he shakes his head, and if he's finished eating (or sees me coming with facewasher to clean his hands, he hates it), he shakes his head then too.

Not sure what we're doing for birthday. I want to go to the zoo, but that might be too much of a hssle with Ty being the cranky pants that he is if he gets tired. Dh wants a party here with both families and godparents, but that seems like a lot hassle too lol. Lazy mummy!!

[mummy of many]

Hi everyone,just wanted to pop in to catch up,we had a weekend away down south,which was great.
Kieren cut his two top teeth on Sunday,amazingly without any dramas,lol.

I havent had much time to read BB but hope eveyone is doing fine. Ive had such a crappy day today,car at the motor mechanics to get brakes fix,but the battery packed up early this morning cause havoc in our house,and made DH cranky.
Our two year old is having a massive tantrum day,and I just want to lock myself away and have a bubble bath,where`s the sleepin pills,lol.

take care,hope all your bubs are well.Susan.

[Lolli]

Pffffft. So much for going out to dinner. Ty has been cracking major tanties all arvo and refused to have an afternoon sleep, so he is in bed early and we're not going anywhere

[mummy of many]

Hey Lorirae,sounds like your day was as good as mine,lol.
Dont ya just hate when you look forward to going out,but the kids are having a day full of tantrums,Ive given up on my 2 y/o,bloody hopless,to take him out lately.
i hear exactly what your sayin,hun. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Hello to all,and sweet dreams.
