Welcome Baby Q!! Congratulations on successful breastfeeding. We have a nice mix of breastfeeding/bottlefeeding mums in here so there is lots of positive support either way. I myself bottle feed. Look forward to learning more about you and bub.
Shanti: Sounds like Ava is doing a great job with her solids and YEY for her sitting all on her own!! DS is still on mushy foods 2-3 times a day but still prefers his milk. I did have DD on more solid food by this stage but DS seems to just swallow/guzzle without any gumming etc. He'll get there lol! Maybe when he gets some teeth hehe! Anyway, always have a giggle when you post about new nappies......how many do you have?
Caidens: OMG about Caiden's teeth!! That is sooooo many. No wonder he hasn't been a happy chappy. DS is going to cut one any day now but it has been pretty much a non-event other than going off his food/milk and a little extra sleepy. I guess the bright side is that hopefully he will have all his teeth quite quickly and you can move onto the next phase lol! Bet you are taking plenty of toothy pics - how cute!!
Jo: Nice to see you pop in again. How is Caleb going? I don't have you on my facebook.....maybe one of other girls could suggest me as a friend??
Dis: Thanks for asking after me re work. It has been quite a transition but I am doing it slowly. I did one day the first week, two the next and maybe three this week. My goal is to keep it a 3 maybe 4 days a week until the kids go to school. It will just be hard for the rest of the year trying to co-ordinate childcare with casual work etc. They do spend some days with my mum which is good. Next year I will return as part-time and will have consistent days so there will be no juggling act. The kids are coping really well....just tiring trying to work, be a good mum, keep house etc all at the same time. Bummer about Ben being allergic to penicillan (sp) AB's....that's going to make things hard. Did you find a daycare that you like yet?? It has taken DD 12 months to really enjoy going and now she doesn't want to come home. Took a while but I feel happy and relaxed when I send her to CC now. I can now leave without tears!!
Ella: I LOVE looking at the pics of DD on facebook. She is just sooooo gorgeous and has a gorgeous head of hair. You probably hear that a lot though hehe.
AFM: Nothing new happening here other than Dash starting Daycare once a week. The centre commented that they have not once seen a baby settle without crying or caring that Mum has left. I'm sure that is great for DS and for them but to be honest I felt a little lost and uncared for hehe. Then again, it is just as awful when they do cry when you leave so I can't win really lol!! He didn't even really care that I came back to get him. He did all the right things and self-settled etc. etc. I just can't get over how 'easy' he is...for now anyway. I am predicting he will be a quiet but sneaky kid. I also think he will be a fussy eater too.....only time will tell. I'm sure he will be very active and into everything (cos he is now).
DS is starting to be brave and let go of furniture OMG!! Sometimes he gets the odd step in before falling in a heap on the ground, only to get up and do it all again lol!! I am not ready for this but have no choice. It is exhausting trying to keep track of him and we have many accidents when he falls when walking around the furniture. I have also found him a couple of times choking on things which is very scary. HE IS NOW IN SIZE 1!!!! What a big boy!!
Chat soon,
L
