Urgh, we're having an awful couple of days here. Jared has got his first tooth and the second is almost through too. He also has a runny nose which is stuffing him up everytime he lies down. I don't know whether that's from the teething or if he has a cold. He hasn't been sleeping well at all and therefore, neither have I! Just to make it worse... Ben has an ear infection! It's his second and I think it's from swimming lessons. We had such a good run with him healthwise until he turned 2 and ever since then it's been terrible! Anyway, he's sooky and waking once during the night too and just wants to be held all the time.
Sorry for the me-me-me, but I needed to get it out!
Me-Lisa, Ben didn't really take to food at first either (unlike his piggy brother!). I actually gave up for a couple of weeks and then went back to it and he was far more interested after that.
Jared doesn't sleep well during the day either (or at night right now!). Apart from this week, he usually wakes once between 3am and 5am for a feed and then goes back to sleep. I've found that since he's started three meals a day he's not as reliant on his booby juice, but is still having at least five daytime feeds a day.
Gypsy, have fun at the party this weekend! I'm such a sook about my boys, but I couldn't leave Jared anyway as he STILL won't take a bottle!
Sounds like Max is doing really well with his sleeps. I'm totally, totally jealous right now :lol:
Shanti, the canvas footprints sound really cute! Did you just buy the canvas at Spotlight or something or was it in a kit? I'd like to do something like that, our house needs more of a personal touch I think.
I know what you mean about not wanting Ava to walk early. Everybody keeps saying to me that it won't be long until J is walking and everytime I hear it I think "Please no!". He grew up way too fast as it is, I don't want to accelerate it any more :(
Runner, I hope you're having a great time in NZ :) Hope the appointment went well today.
LS, sorry no tips for sharing toys! Ben just started doing it. He still hogs his favourite toys a fair bit, but usually finds a suitable substitute for Jared. We're lucky that both of them seem to favour balls (apart from Ben's trains) and we have about a million different soccer and footballs around the place so there's more than enough to go around :)
I bought some baby yoghurts today for Jared to try. He's eating three fairly big meals a day now so I'm going to start introducing a few more things. He's tried chicken, which he loved, so we'll try some different meats now too. He'd live on avocado if I gave him the choice, he doesn't ever get sick of it!
