Hi all,
Here is another selfish post from me; too far behind again... The modem from the PC blew up and DP is away for work quite a lot at the moment and has to take the laptop... I miss catching up with you girls.
For us there is some improvement on the solids front (hang in there Bun, Catherine will surprise you one day!), a few days ago Jasper started to eat his rice cereal! He is having about 2 tablespoons for lunch now mixed with some pureed apple. Sometimes he just keeps trying to grab the spoon and that is when I do the same: give him a rusk to suck on while I try to get as much rice cereal into his mouth as possible. They are so messy!! Tried him on some pumpkin and sweet potato the last few days, but he didn't like that at all. He's probably a sweet tooth like his mum
.
Regarding sleeping, the last week and a half have been a challenge as he is practising to crawl in his cot and keeps waking himself up when he pushes himself agains the side of the cot.... Does anyone else have the same problem? He usually only cries for a couple of minutes in frustration and then selfsettles, but that still means that everyone is awake sometimes every 45 minutes.... I don't want to use cotbumpers and I don't know if there are safe alternatives... The positive side of all this is that he sleeps really well during the day. How many naps are your bubbies on and how long can they stay awake? Jasper only stays happy for about 1.5 hours, after that he gets too cross to keep up. I can stretch it to 2 hours when we are out and about, but only just. This makes the whole solids game a bit harder too, because there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get him fed three solid meals and go out and see people or go to town; just like you said, Prama: sometimes it seems like all you are doing is feeding him and cleaning up...
Sorry about the selfish rant, I will have the computer for this week, so I will try to keep track and do some personals.
Good on you Sue for planning a trip away! Bet you can't wait!!!
Hi to everyone I have missed and wish you all a good day!
Esther
