I have one wound up crazy child and one sooky grizzly child! Finally asleep tho. Am waiting for my Foxtel man to come and give us IQ woohoo can't wait.
Heaven- thanks I'll go look that up, I've heard of it but was bit confused on what it actually is. I still will give lots mashed up spoon fed food but I like the idea of offering finger foods also.
Meg- Emily not eating all that much breakfast she has one cube pear or apple that I'd pureed up with tiny bit baby porridge (she much prefers to rice cereal) then dinner has 2 cubes vegies. Doesn't always finish either, I just will increase it once she is finishing off what I am giving her.
Thanks for all the solids advice, got quite few puree ice cubes in freezer so one they are finished up I'm just gonna go onto mashed and finger foods. I'd preefr to get her taking it now then still at one still not eating finger foods.
God 6 months already! Where has the time gone? I keep asking myself.
I've found Emily now is starting to get grumpy about things other than hunger and tired, like Ash took a toy from her and boy did she crack it, usually she just forgets about it.
Shell - E cracked it yesterday because J was sitting on the front of the stroller. As soon as he got off she was fine!
Heaven - Just rolling tummy to back. Rolls around a lot on her back, but not completely over!
I jsut got a call from my sis. Her waters had broken at 5am, and she is now in the hossy. Hopefully my neice will be born today!
E had her MCHN appointment today. She is still little Miss Average for everything. Not looking forward to her having her 6 month jabs as it took weeks for her to get over the Rota Vac last time.
J is in childcare today, so gotta get started on the housework soon.....
Ali - Was thinking of you last night darl. Hope you're doing ok.
Shell - Jacob has started getting upset by other things as well. They're so much more aware of what's going on around them.
Heaven - Love your DDs T-shirt We're thinking of BLS as well but I don't think we'll start for a while. I reckon my family will be the same in thinking we're nuts. I can so wait to have those discussions!!
Meg - I am worried about Js 6 month shots too for the same reason. Sending positive labour vibes to your sister! How exciting. I bet E looks ginormous next to your newborn neice, even though she's Miss Average pmsl!
AFM - Thanks for the info on sleep/feeding girls. I can't seem to shake my underlying anxiety about his feeding from when my supply dropped and his weight gain stalled at 3-4 weeks old. I know I should trust him more but there were no signs before that I picked up on. Anyway, he is much better in the last 24 hours and his poo looks normal again so hopefully it was just a growth spurt. It's nice to have my happy boy back after nearly a week of grumble-bum!
