Hi danda, good to hear from you again. It sounds like you have been busy but it must have been great to spend some time with your family. We are pretty excited about moving to warrnambool, but yes, it is going to be soooo cold! The wind was freezing when we were there the other week, so we are definitely going to have to stock up on some serious winter clothes before we head over there!! Glad to hear DD is doing so well, she sounds like a very happy healthy little bub.
esme - he he, DD has also started picking up little bits of fluff and putting them in her mouth. It seems no matter how often I clean up, she still manages to find some fluff from somewhere! I have given up on making DD feed from a spoon, as she just won't do it! I just let her feed herself with pieces of banana, bread, cheese, rockmelon, watermelon, milk arrowroots and peas and other veggies. I can still sometimes sneak in a few mouthfuls of a puree when she opens her mouth to shove in some banana or something, but she is starting to cotton on to it so it doesn't always work! She still loves her booby juice, but I have started only giving her 4 BFs a day and three solid meals.
sueby - is DD eating again now? I have had days like that with Catherine and am not ever sure what the problem is. I hope she is back to normal now.
2 please - hopefully Warrnambool will be nice, we think it looks like a good size too so hopefully we will be happy there. The shopping in Melbourne is way better than at home so I am looking forward to spending the weekend there every now and then. Luckily we have family there that we can stay with, so it should be fun!
jen- thanks for the welcome to Vic! We are still not sure when we will be moving, but probably soon, it will be nice to live in a different state for a while. That is cute DD saying bubba! Catherine can say a few things now - dad dad, num num, mum mum and other babble but her fave thing at the moment is blowing raspberries. She has done that for ages, but is now really getting into it and ends up spitting everywhere!!
I think DD must be teething - she has been a bit unsettled lately and couldn't sleep the other night which is unlike her these days, plus she is drooling everywhere!! She is also getting pretty close to crawling now - she gets on all fours and rocks and sometimes gets on her hands and feet but is yet to actually move anywhere yet!
Doing well here...Noah is cutting four teeth instead of the two I think I mentioned before! Now his top two are coming through too!
Danda, wow you have been busy! How was Zoe with all of the flights?
Bun, I hope your move goes smoothly when you end up moving! It would be nice to live in another state, just for something different !!
Esther, Noah loves his banana too! Lately he has been having watermelon as well, but its soooo messy..lol..
Sue, how has DD been this weekend with her food/bottles? Noah has moments too when he wont drink all of his bottle, he carries on like a pork chop and moves his head away etc..it sure is frustrating!
Karlie, I chop off Noahs curls...lol..so thats why he looks like he has had a haircut, it just looks tidier without them..lol..
Jen, oh thats so cute that Amber has started to say bubbub and dadad !
Well....where did THAT weekend go???????? To top off our recent travels we went to Bendigo (country Vic) to visit DH's family on the weekend. Drove up on Sunday morning, had morning tea with Uncle and Aunt and then went for lunch at Zoe's Great Gramdma's place and got home at about 6pm. Talk about a whirlwind. We were out at a BBQ all day Saturday too...Luckily we have a spa in our backyard so after Zoe went to bed last night, DH and I ate F&C's and lounged in the spa for over an hour!! It was a lovely end to another busy weekend!
Bun - Zoe was great on all those flights. The flights were all in the daytime and since Zoe doesn't like sleeping in the day, I did have to spend a lot of time trying to entertain her, but she is generally happy so there wasn't too much grizzling. One lady behind me took her for anout 30 minutes which was nice. I just sat and chatted to her and her daughter while she had Zoe, but at least it wasn't me wrestling with the wriggly worm!!!
I am taking Zoe swimming for the first time today. Don't know what I am going to do about a swim nappy....i have one but it's for babies 7kg+ and Zoe isn't even close!!!! heh heh!!
I am also going back to THE GYM tonight for the first time since a few months before Zoe was born. I am starting to feel like a tired blob. I need to regain a little fitness so I can get back some energy!
Danda -- SO jealous about your spa -- must be fabulous. Hope you have fun swimming with Zoe must look into classess for DD.
Minky -- DD has been a bit better with her bottles since her top two teeth and bottom canines cut through!!! No wonder she didn't want to eat anything or let me poke my finger in her mouth. She is however waking around Midnight for a bottle and then again around 6, and then doesn't want to go back to sleep thanks very much. She is eating a lot better and is having 3 meals now cereal in the morning, yoghurt/ sandwich for lunch and vegies and fruit for tea!! Thanks for asking.
Enjoy the Gym, I am planning on hitting the treadmill as I have put on weight and am also feeling blah.
Bun -- hi. Yes DD is back on track now. We are getting weighed tomorrow so we will see how heavy she is. Warnambool is a great spot good luck moving.
Esme -- Hi. Thanks we think she is pretty gorgeous.
Hi to Karlie, Jenjams, Jacki and Prama where are you.
Have a great week everyone we are off to the playground this arvo loving the nice weather
Hello girls, I will have to be typing at lightening fast speeds to get through this.
Sue, It sounds like bub's is doing very well with eating. Jakes is more into his bottle than the food he is given.
Danda, I live in Bendigo, I wonder if I know any of your family. Maybe you should lend me that swimming nappy. Jake is 11 kg, his a very big baby. You would think his fat, but his not. He fits a size 1 in length and weight. Hubby is over 6 ft, so I guess I should of expected it.
Minkey, My friend cut off her bubs hair, because people though he was a girl all the time. I cut jakes hair off at the back only, because it had that rub patch at the back shorter.
Bun, you will love this summer in warnambool. They have many cool event's on. I think they have a bike race finish there, and they have a big carnival for it.
Esme, Jake didnt like vegies either. I have found that Jake would more likely eat vegies if I was to let him eat them himself, but you have to have ones that they cant bite big bit's off.
Jakes 4 teeth are all through, and he slept all through the night last night. His has just started crawling too. Ahhh, there goes all my gear. Tara learned to crawl at the same time, so boys are not always slower. Lets hope Jake doesnt teeth on my tv cabnet like Tara did.lol.
Bun - haven't the last couple of hot Perth days made you want to stay for the summer !!!!!!! Not !! Remember poor me last year when we were all very pregnant and my husband broke the air conditioner on boxing day when it was 44 degrees !! I might move to Warnambool as well.
Jen / Esther - so gorgeous that you bubs are saying words already. DS has justed started babbling again. He used to chat but stopped for a couple of months. So i think any words are a long way off yet.
Sue - that is so crap that DD is making at night for not eating through the day. DS is a nightmare to feed a lot of the time. Way too distracted to eat, would rather look at the ceiling fan spin around for hours ! Solids can be difficult but breastfeeding is sometimes impossible.
Danda - I have to put pillows around DS as well as he is prone to very regular face plants. Yeah on the great night sleeps you are getting - don't you just love them sleeping though! How did bubs like swimming - DS absolutely loves it. Doesn't really do any of the things he is supposed to. Just loves to splash and look at the stuffed toys dangling from the roof.
Minky - 4 teeth all at once - poor Noah - poor you !
Hi Sue - I haven't started giving DS sandwiches yet - how do you go about it. Cut into small bits or fingers or what ?? What do you put on them??
Karlie - bl00dy hell - 11kgs !!!!! I thought Luke was big at 10kgs. We sure made some big boys.
Ash - I have seen some of your other posts in different threads - hope you are OK
Prama - where are you !?!
Not too much to report here except - LUKE ROLLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally !!!
Amber woke every hour last night. Poor girl has a cold and is teething too. Its not much fun!
Jacki- Yay on Luke rolling. He will be on his knees before you know it. I give Amber sandwiches. I cut the crusts off and give little fingers. I put vegemite, promite or Avocado in hers. She seems to like them.
Bun- Its been quite cold here in Vic the past couple of days. When are you moving? Are you going to buy a house or will DH's job be temporary?
Karlie- 4 teeth? I guess thats good in a way because you have them out the way at once. Amber only has 1 tooth at the moment but she has another one on the way. I didnt put my second PP order in on time so the prices have gone up and they wiped my shopping list so I cant remember what was on it.
Minky- I can't cut Amber's hair yet.... She has none to cut!
Danda- You have done some travelling! your DD has been more places than me! My parents live in Bendigo too. A great place I reckon.
Esme- We are still doing ok with the BF and the tooth. She really hasnt tried to bite me yet!
Ash- I believe you have a new piercing?
Prama- How is poopy and steve?
I am sorry I am sure to have missed someone.
Amber is on the floor on her tummy. She has gotten going backwards down pat. She is getting onto all 4's for tiny amounts of time so I guess the crawling starts soon. Have to baby proof the house.
We had a MCHN visit yesterday. She is just over 9kg and is 71cm long. Fits into 0 although some brands length is a little short.
Maybe you should lend me that swimming nappy. Jake is 11 kg, his a very big baby. You would think his fat, but his not. He fits a size 1 in length and weight. Hubby is over 6 ft, so I guess I should of expected it.
