i just discovered the handles come off the straw cup!!! now we cooking with gas..... hehehehe it funny what a evil sister in law at mothers group can do to you................

my clever little cookie i think got 3 new teeth THIS WEEK .... I THINK - there is heaps going on up there, could explain the screaming before every sleep we have been having lately

baby caravan would be cool -- maybe i ccould get the dogs to drag her around, i have a bike but not the coordination to ride with the baby i dont think so will have to stick with jogging around the block with the dogs and the jogger pram - and going to the gym, it is almost an excuse to use the kidzclub and have an hour away from jemima.... not cool i know but at least i am getting some excercise while dumping my child....

tashie- the not eating thing could TOTALLY be teeth heaps of the bubs in my mothers group went off their food when they got teeth, with jemima it has been hard to tell as the first time she was too young to be eating and then second time she was really really sick so not interested in eating anyway, have you tried egg custard, avocado, or this awesome stuff made by "only" brand that is pasta bolognaise??? Jemima laps all those up and baby yogurt too.....

we have been getting more and more little spews lately, which is weird coz jemima never been a spewy baby maybe it is the rocking around she is doing rolly pollying around the floor.... or the yogurt but that is not new she has been having yogurt for months....

jemima went down a line on the baby chart thingy too jayne, i am hoping it was from the week she didnt eat when she was sick so will get her weighed at 8 months to see if she is back on the line or not she was not even 8kg and i think about 72cmish that was at about 7months 1 week i think
also remember those charts are made for bottlefed bubs not breastfed bubs and apparently at about 6 months the bottle fed bubs can overtake the breastfed bubs apprently
you can check out jemima's funky walking on her youtube site so so wobbly and funny she is heaps better now, but still i would not suggest encouraging it.... one it means she is not being encouraged to crawl and two it is annoying to walk around letting bub hold fingers so they can walk around and sometimes it is the only thing that makes her happy
recently though she is realising how much more fun it is to find stuff on the ground that i have left lying around and eat it, really likes to make a point of showing how bad of a house wife i really am....

lisa - SO sad to read your posts about little wing, my thoughts are with you, hang in there. You didnt tell us Harrison was talking!! i read it on his site, benji and my mum both think that jemima says Mum but i dont know, i think she says "hey" and i know when she wants a drink of water, i just realised she only has about 4 months to get the words happening, i read somewhere by 12months they should have 5 words!

christie - sleeping through is totally overrated!!!!! heheheheheh i WAS one of the lucky ones, jemima slept through about 5.5 weeks and then all of a sudden about i'm going to say about 5 or so months she randomly starting waking once a week and then more and more and now it seems to be about 6 our of 7 nights she wakes at least once......
the other night though all she wanted was a cuddle AND I SLEPT THROUGH, i may have already told that but it was so so nice! i have the flu and broke my car so needed the sleep
patting to sleep is weird but seems to work i have not tried offereing water yet but i will if when these teeth come through all the way she is still waking, time to get tough and my sleep back!

happy friday for tomorrow everyone
