hey all,
buzzie - ta for info on milk/quik/milo. I was going to do that too if Ella wouldn't drink it, altho i just keep offering her some milk each day. sometimes she drinks it, sometimes not. It was encouraging to hear that it's the overall dairy not necessarily milk per se - can't recall if it was this thread or another... ella loves cheese & yoghurt. I'm like lori, not going to wean yet - just think it would upset baba! hoping she'll wean herself sometime by mid-year. hey adkins, don't feel bad - you prob weren't going to even give bub the stuff for that long anyhow. a friend of mine has done it for 3 years! We're all learning all the time
ta for teeth-brushing tips. will try them too, but have 'strong-willed baby of the year' at our house, so tho she sees me doing it & thinks its funny & has enjoyed playing with a t'brush for months, we're getting lots of mouth clamped shut!!! i'm sure she'll open up eventually he he he. after a couple of months she decided she would eat solids after all so that gives us hope!
immunisations. I've had big concerns about this, but now feeling much better. have spoken to a fab paediatrician who actually took me seriously and who was up to date on all the research, so gave me a good low down. no link between mmr / autism except for the prob in US cos of the carrier. it's not used in australia so ok. you can't have the MMR shots separately apparently (tho i'd thot you could), but I'm going to defer all of the shots a little & give them a couple of months apart so i'm not overloading her immune system. I'll do MMR last between 18-24 mo. I am totally pro immunisation for both ella & the community, but we've got autism in family so am a little nervous. no reason that mmr has to happen at 12 months, they just put all those immunisations together so people don't forget them. Hope this is useful info. guess everyone's gotta make their own choice!
hey nic, totally impressed at your shiny house. wtg!!! could you come do mine now please ? . sorry to hear about the smacking. whoah! good on you for speaking up.
hey tinsel, must be in the air - ella was up too, lost track of how many times ... maybe it's a 1 year thing.
gotta go clean up the joint & find some food for dinner. so uninspired ....
just a quickie, i just took a pic of ash - its soo funny, hes learnt a new trick!
i put it on his facebook (i think most of u have it already) - the camera was playing up so it came out terrible.. but u get the idea LOL!!
Had a great afternoon.. We went down to the beach after school. Olivia gave us a fright.. She was on the boogie board and fell off in ankle deep water and some how took in a lot of water. She seemed a bit breathless for a while there.. and her lips were a funny colour. She seemed fine.. We dressed her and she was a funny colour but by the time I finished dressing her she was back to pink.. we watched her for a whole and realised she must have just been cold.
. sorry to hear about the smacking. whoah! good on you for speaking up.
Happy 1st Birthday Olivia Margaret 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA B!!!!!!!
