Take Two - Yesterday I spent all day writing up a reply with the five minutes I had here and there, and then my DH turned the computer off before I got to finish and post it!!! How annoying...
Why have I been ****ed off? My DH is in the dog house. The full story is in the punching bag forum if you want to read it, otherwise, the moral of the story is, he isn't getting laid for a while because I am fat!!!
Thanks for all your ideas with pillows. I might go out looking tomorrow and see what I can find. Mum is going to get me one for Christmas. Yeah!!!
Tobi is eating really well now. Still doesn't have a lot for breaky, but the other meal times, he is loving filling his little belly. I have just learnt to listen to what he wants. Sometimes he is happy to be spoon feed, other times he wants lumps and for me to pop them in his mouth, other times he wants lumps to feed himself (and his lap). His favourite foods are yoghurt, vegemite and cheese sandwiches, shepherds pie, burrito mince, cheese, beetroot, banana, avocado and of course anything that we are eating. He is loving water now too and drinks a whole bottle throughout the day, especially during meals. He only has boobie 3 times a day, but not a lot at lunch, so that one will be easy to drop when I wean him.
It was a good thing I was on the ball this morning. He picked up a ****roach. We got pest control done yesterday, so it must have come out to die and Tobi picked it up and was about to put it in his mouth. On the bright side, his pincer grip is getting better.
Another funny thing he did was crawl into my shower fully clothed the other day and then sooked because he got wet!!!
Oh and he has been doing the indian thing for a while. We used to do it to him when he was crying in the car, just to lighten the mood a little, then he started doing it himself. He worked out that it would always get Daddy's attention. Now he has moved on to slapping his lips together so they make a pop pop popping sound. Very cute.
Sally - I am sorry to see that you have added an angel to your signature. Are you ok? We are all here for you if you need us. How is Brendan going? He is growing up fast and a great weight for a prem bub. He is only a kg behind Tobi and Tobi was 2kg heavier when he was born. He must love his food. I wouldn't worry about not having any teeth yet either. Tobi still hasn't got any.
Catherine - I hope you get better soon. How did you girls day out go?
Jayne - How was Jessica's birthday. Did she like her musical pack? How is Claudia going? Poor thing. I am very proud to hear that you didn't freak out with all her crying the other night and just sat and cuddled her. I am sure there are a lot of other Mums out there that wouldn't be as strong as you, especially with Alan away... That is such a good idea about the charm bracelet, I might steal that idea for when I have a little girl. At my baby shower everyone did up a birthday card for Tobi for each year until he turns 21, with a story about me or advice etc in it. I can't wait to open them. Jessica and Claudia are going to treasure their cards so much. It is such a lovely idea.
Kristy - Hello again. Hope you settle into your new home soon. It will be great to be closer to family and all these babysitters : )
Ryn - I hope Liebs feels better soon. How is his walking going?
Kel - I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that does silly things in public. I always thought some of the things that parents did was really strange, now being one myself, I am just as strange and pull myself up for it all the time. It is just like the rest of the world isn't there sometimes. Is Jemima settled down with her sleeping again or still fighting it?
Kirsten - I agree with Lisa, you have a little hottie in your house. What out for when he wants to play doctors and nurses or the like when he is older.
Michelle - Does Bella stand up when she is dancing? It must be so cute to watch her dance. Do you have a jolly jumper by any chance? I wonder if that is the first step to dancing? Tobi doesn't jump, just stands in it wondering what he is supposed to be doing.
Kym - Don't worry about how much it costs to get a good nights sleep. It is worth it in the end... Have you tried white noise yet. You MUST give it a go. It really really works...well it did with Tobi
Lisa - How is your diet going? I checked out the web page you suggested. It sounds great. Is it really expensive?
Love and Kisses
