LOL Sonya, ahh, I avoid getting on me, but my house is always covered!
I have considered getting a playpen just for him to eat in,
With fruit - how do you give it to him, diced up pieces?
Alex is great with fruit and veges (so not his father's child, ), he also loves yoghurt, sandwiches and cheese. The only thing he doesn't seem too fussed about is his meat! I think he gets frustrated with having to chew it for so long. Not sure...
Finally found a straw cup that Alex will drink out of, wooohooo.
How many bottles / breastfeeds is everyone still having... and bottlefeeds, how much?
I have first time mum paranoia and am worried i am not doing things right.
Alright, DS is attacking me and blowing raspberries on my boobs, and it's way after his bedtime.
Have a good night everyone!
Thanks Jen for Jakes card. Poor jake seem to get the raw end of the deal sometimes. MIL gave jake a freddo for his birthday present. She off to Queensland for a holiday with her girlfriend, so she can afford something. Steve said "Just get him something small" , but thats just being silly. Steve's dad forgot about him too. My kids are the only kids on both sides of our family, so I dont know why Steve's family are sooo slack. (Sorry I just needed to vent.)
Cookiemonster, The best cup i have found is the playtex insulator cup. Jon and Kate plus 8 (The tv show with 6 kids) use them too.
Esme. How did those vegies go? I hate the smoke smell, you tend to get use to it after a while. Smoked vegies.lol
Sonya, Jakes been a bit against sleep today. I wonder if he's getting teeth too. How long did it take to make that bithday cake? Yikes!
Prama, your hubby is well contained with his emotion's. I would be worried the whole time DH would of snot him one. I hope they shoved that 2 extra coke bottles up his @##.LOL.
Jen, Did Carly post on here????? Jakes naughty too. He rips the dvd playes out of their cabnets, so DH had to sticky velcro them down.
Sorry if I missed anyone, but the air con guy is turning up soon. I really didnt want him to see me in my PJS.
Karlie OMG, our MIL's can never meet they would get along so well and probably conspire against us!! LOL!! That is soooo something she would do!! She gave us nothing when he was born, not even a card, It's frustrating isn't it, I guess I struggle with it because DH's Dad is the same (they are seperated) Zane got nothing this birthday not even a phonecall. Where my parents spoil him rotten. Z is the only grandchild on both sides too so you would think they would be utterly adored...?? Do you normally get along with Steve's parents? The cake didn't take too long, I did the cake on Fri and froze it and then decorated it sat morning B4 the party. I had all the deco's before hand though it was just a matter of putting them on.
Sorry Prama we were piggies and ate most of it then I did "take home plates" sorry!! We get posted around every two years and I think Sydney is on the cards for next year, so if that is true you guys can just just come to Zane's next party and eat all the cake you like!!
Cookie, Zane is down to 2 BF a day one in the morning when he wakes up and one B4 bed (both sides) I was going to keep going but I need to wean him so I can go back on the combined pill having all sorts of drama's with the mini (a whole new post) so hopefully within 3 weeks he will not be BF'ing anymore. I have just replaced the BF midday with some milk in a sippy cup if he wants it, sometimes he doesn't My GP said yesterday that because milk is only a part of his diet now I didn't need to do formula or bottles so I won't worry with that. The cups we use are Nuby they have a little straw out the top and handles on both sides, He does have some other which he uses but they seem to be his faves.I have tried giving Z fruit all sorts of ways fresh, stewed, mashed, canned, in one of those suckyoutythings all to no avail. I will keep trying maybe the fruit fairies will come and one day he will wake up loving fruit!! Cheers to that!
Hows the smoke down in VIC today? I haven't turned the TV on yet today, almost scared to because it's sooo upsetting. Hoping nothing has changed and you are
all still safe. My fingers are crossed!!
Jen I had a look through some of your pics last night on FB, Amber is such a happy baby, You guys are such a cute little family, really gorgeous!!
Kato how are the molars coming along?? I wish Z would cut them poor bubba.
Needing a cup of liquid sanity (coffee) so will BBL.
O I made it through the night without hearing every noise so I'm getting used to being alone again, I used to do it for months at a time when DH was oversea's but ever since Z came along it's just so much harder. 10 sleeps to go!! Yay!!
Just having a cup a liquid sanity too, Sonya... Need it in the morning; LOL, I can't wait for Jasper to go down for his morning sleep, because it means coffee and BB!
Cookie - we are on three BF per day; morning, after lunch and before bed. I kind of want to cut down, but don't have the heart... He just loves it too much, so we just keep going for a bit longer. If Alex loves his fruit, vegies and milk/dairy, I don't think you have to worry about his milk/formula intake as he will get enough of everything through his food. I have seen some similar questions in the bf/solids general discussion with some very good answers, maybe have a read back through them? Jasper doesn't eat much meat either, I just try to give him egg, dairy or tuna everyday with lunch to get some protein into him.
Sonya - I hear you on hearing every noise during the night for the first couple of nights when DH isn't home. I do the same. Just when you are used to being by yourself and start to sleep well again they get home... DP came home yesterday; so I am back to sleeping well. Only ten days (nine nights?) to go...
Karlie - So sad that MIL can't even be bothered to buy him a decent present... I just can't believe people can be like that. I am very lucky; my PIL are worth their weight in gold; they are there when you need them and even though DS is grandchild no. 7 he still gets spoiled rotten.
Prama - How's Poopy? Did he sleep a bit last night? Jasper might be getting teeth too, as his hands have not been out of his mouth the last couple of days and he is having nappy rash again. I have managed to get some Hylands tablets, so we are all ready for the big event!
It sounds like I am missing out on a lot of pictures as I am not on FB... does anyone know if I can have a look at your profiles without having one myself? I am afraid I might get addicted to yet another internet site, so have tried to stay away so far... BB is taking up all my internet time!
LOL, the mutts loved the lentils! I have never had them myself, but since they are high on protein, I thought I might give them a go. I have to say I didn't like them too much.... Have put a couple of spoonfulls through his vegie mix, but gave the rest to the dogs who liked it very much.
thanks girls..
karlie - I guess steve was patient enough, im sure he would have given him something if the old bugger had said something to me directly..
i was just thinking that in a situation like the fires, would he say he only wants a certain group of ppl to save him or take donations from them.. sigh!
ash - poopy has a bf in the morning and before sleep. at lunch he has cow's milk.
sonya - would be great if you came up to syd!! the boys would have a great time together and we could do coffee etc!!
I work at Austar, so not only are we setting up a fund, but also providing free Austar at the relief centres in vic and qld. also helping the schools that austar supports. i think we are also organising a relief concert.
esme - poopy didnt sleep well at all, he was grizzling and crying in his sleep. he woke up at 9ish cried, gave him some hyland tablets and he went back to sleep. then he got really bad at 4am and we brought him to our bed and he slept well. so i think if he wakes up again 9ish 10pm, we might have him in our bed for the whole night. i know we shouldnt after all that tresillian but he's in so much pain and it affects him in the mornings. he's so unsettled and clingy and he cries and cries when i leave him at day care. maybe if he sleeps w us he might feel better in teh morning.
this morning as i was buckling him up in his carseat on teh way to day care, i said 'i love you' in my usual sing song way, and he said 'ah aaah ah' in teh same sing song way.. sigh.. i love him so much!
not sure if you can see our pictures, ive set it up so only my friends can see mine. will test it when i get home.
ooh love jasper's red hair!!!
i hope bubs get their cards on time, i sent it off last friday.
i was trying to post again and it got timed out for some reason.
i was saying karlie - it's pretty p!ss poor to give him just a freedo.. she can save herself some trouble next time. there's a difference between 'something small' and 'cheap' 'couldnt be bothered'. so sorry jake..
and isn't great our thread has become so active again!!!
Big Prama! I hope he will get better soon... It must be so hard for you to leave him at daycare; I think I would just be bawling my eyes out.. Sooo cute that he said 'I love you' Those moments just make your heart melt, don't they? Thanks, Jasper has got lovely strawberry blond hair and the fair skin that comes with it. Not too handy with the Ozzie sun; might have to ship him off to Europe; my parents would love that!
Jen - I just clicked on the link in your sig and got your photo page! Amber is such a cutie!! Did you manage to get her to sleep? I can't get your page. I just remembered that DP has got a page, so might try his page when he is home...

Sonya- We are the same with you on feeds. Amber is still BF and we do one in the morning when she wakes and one just before bed. She also has cows milk in her weetbix and yoghurt. I offer her milk in her sippy cup at lunch as well. My tat is on my right hip. Its a half moon type thing that sounds lame when I try to explain. But it does look better in real life! Thanks for your kind words.
KArlie- Nah I havent heard from Carley for a long time. Hmmmm was it a giant freddo at least? You'd think being the only grandkids, they would get doted on?
Ash, your doing fine! But I understand the paranoia. I wonder if I am doing the right things all the time.
ok so I just put a cranky girl to bed. Lets see if she will sleep.
), he also loves yoghurt, sandwiches and cheese. The only thing he doesn't seem too fussed about is his meat! I think he gets frustrated with having to chew it for so long. Not sure...
so will BBL.
