Hi all :)
Missy - all is well here - you? The job is in the police force for admin work - so will see if I get an interview or not. Have a good time at the xmas party!!!
Kel - woohoo on getting your money!!! I remember DS liking that show too. Haven't seen it in a while though. I don't know if we'll get our money before xmas or not, I keep checking and nothing yet. Ours is going to pay off the tv we had on interest free (which expires in March) so nothing special for anyone - not even a new nappy!!!! ;) hehehe
It is really quiet in here.
Not much going on... DS is watching Alvin and the Chipmunks - he can say Chipmunks now - last month he was still calling them monkeys.. lol....
Have a good day all!!!
Hey Girls and Bear,
Party went good on Sunday, only 1 of the offendig SIL's was there (her party) and she said they were "concerned" as I had said Ash will probably wake about 9.30-10pm for a feed and when I wasn't there they thought she would be hungry. Anyway its over with now.
Kell: Ash has been getting a little attitude lately too, poor thing its cause of her teeth though....I gave her bonjella for the first time yesterday and she fell asleep straight away. OMG @ your mother! especially since your bro and sis are only 5mins away! She should work it around you! Our money went in today too, think its going straight on the credit card though :(
Its a busy time for everyone, I'm guessing thats why its so quiet. I have finished all my xmas shopping...thank god cause the shops are gettin crazy!!! Just have to go to the post office today to post xmas cards and a present and I am done!
Its a bit cooler this morning so we could play outside until about 11am, lately its been too hot by 9am! Sunday morning it was already 30 degrees at 8am! Well better make sure Jayden is still awake and give him some yoghurt. He has been eating like a horse since he gave up the bottles, he is always saying he's hungry! Might pop in later....gotta upload some more pics to FB.
Hello all!
Had a busy day here shopping!
I have now hooraaayyy finished our Christmas shopping woooohooo! Apart from FIL but DH has to figure out what to buy yet. Got Jesse his Brum car.. hes gonna love it when he sees it. Picked up our Wii! woo! So will be having a crack at that tonight with DH once kiddies are in bed. Bought a few games for it too. Bought some clothes for the kids as Kmart is 40% off kids clothes atm!! BIG saving!
Keira's KK arrived today! OH the little top and shorts are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! A big THANK YOU to our KK person!!! Absolutely love it! Cant wait to go out again so i can dress her in it and take some photos! Thank you so much again! You have great taste! :D
Tan.. oh poor thing yeh the teething sux hey. I found yesterday though for Keira the bonjela would work for an hour or something then she was grizzling at her gums again. So had to opt for panadol. Tan oh thats great Jayden is eating so well. I have a terrible time getting Jesse to eat. Good you sorted it out with your SIL.
Mel.. Good luck with the job hun!!!! :fingerscrossed: for ya!!! yeh its on Cbeebies on fox. Only on a few times a day though i think but Jess has a dvd of it.. so Brums the flavour of the month atm. Thanks hun.. yeh unfort you cant choose your family.
Missy.. hope you had a good day at the party.
Tenny.. exactly! Theyre missing out. Oh i hear you on the teething.. little buggers those teeth are.. lets hope they get some toothie pegs soon and arent teething for months on end!
Well DH is on his way home.. better go get Jess some dinner.. we're just having left over home made pizza from last night. Mr fussy poohead wont eat that.. so maybe will get him some fish fingers.
Hi all
Kell yes had a good time today. I love seeing the kids play. Glad your xmas shopping is all done
Arimeh cool hun. Geeee i hope you get it.:pray:
Tannis glad the party was good hun.
Well bbl
abit tired at moment
bye
Hi all,
just a quick one as my little one has another cold and is very clingy.. also doesn't want to sleep cause she can't breath.. blocked nose :(
Do we have to start feeding them farex or can we just start giving them mashed potato and veggies??
I'll be back tomorrow for all personals. have a great night!
Hi everyone :)
Hope we had a great day today. I just went to k-mart just look around. Jolnathan is doing really well with his solids. I gave him puree apple yesterday & will be continiung for one week then i'll be giving him pumpkin one week, & other veggies. This question is for anyone Do we have to add fruit in with the farex or can we give farex to babies on it's own? I give Jonathan 4-6 months pear & banana farex in the morning, then in the afternoon i give him puree apple. Is this ok wat i'm doing? I rang maternal line & they said that's fine wat i'm doing. But my friend told me to mix puree apple in with the farex so he will get used to it and also add more apple each day for one week then add pumkin to the farex for one week and so on??? I think i'm doing ok my way & like i said the nurse said it's fine, any opinions will great thanx :) Oh my friend also told me to give jonathan the plain farex but i couldn't find it, i only found like i said 4-6 months start farex.
Mary- How was the wedding? I saw the photo you look beautiful & so does gorgeous Izzy. I have commented on the photos on fb. Poor Izzy I hope she gets better soon :hug: With the solids, i give Jonathan farex in the morning & then fresh puree apple in the afternoon. I'm sure other girls here will give u more advice, you can always call 24 hr maternal line.
Kel- Yaaaaay on finishing the xmas shopping, I too have finished as well, feels good doesn't it. Oh I bet Jess will love the brum car, you have to tell us his reaction. Yaaay for getting the wii.
Tan- Yaaaaay on finishing the xmas shopping. I'm glad the the party went good on Sunday.
Mel- Yaaayy for ds on saying chipmunks, that's great :)
Tenny- Yaaayy for giving ds solids how did he go? I wish i didn't have to see my il's alot. Mean i know but i couldn't care less.
Big hello to everyone else i have missed :grouphug:
Mez.. yeh you can start on potato or veg.. or fruit. I think most just start on farex as its similar to their formula so easier for them to get use to the texture iykwim. But yeh when introducing a vegetable, stick to the same one for at least 4 days.. same goes for any new ones introduced.. so that you can watch for any reaction to it. Happy solids :)
Tasia.. honey you can do what you want really. I never added fruit with any of Jesse's farex. I think towards the end i did with his cereal (when he went up to the next stages). But Jesse never liked the apple for a long while. But what youre doing sounds right to me hun. Listen to people's advice but you dont always have to take it.. and theres no rush. Just take your time with it, let him get use to it all, find out what he likes and doesnt like.. thats what solids at this age really are for, for them to get use to new tastes.. and just have fun. I dont think theres any right or wrong.. just make sure you give at least 4 days inbetween introducing a new fruit or veg to watch for any reactions. Youre doing a great job hun ;)
Ok back to the Wii! hehe DH is boxing atm.
kel- thanx sweety, yeah i will do it for 4 days. Once i have tried him eating other veggies on it's own i was thinking of adding potatoes & pumpkin together & see how he goes, after he has done the individual stuff iykwim.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
How's everyone?
Mel - Oh wow. That's interesting and a great idea for starting foods. I feel like such a fool for not even knowing what it is. We start with farex and purees then when he can hold the finger foods properly he'll be right into those.. and if he's anything like his brother was it'll be for the best. DS1 was such a fussy eater when he was little.. still kinda is but if he's hungry he'll eat whatever I give him or have a piece of fruit since there is always fruit here. I'm such a mean mummy. :P
WOW. Your job sounds great. I really hope you get it! Alvin and the Chipmunks is a cool movie. It'll always remind me of my labour with Bubbablue cause I had that to watch that night he was born. Lol.
Kell - YAY for getting your Wii. I hope you have a great time testing it out. DP and I are bad, we got Elijah a portable dvd player and we tested it out before I wrapped it. How naughty of us. It's reallllllllllly good too. How's your little miss going with the teething?
I hope she's going ok.
Mez - I hope your DD feels better soon. Bubbablue still has a tiny bit of a cough from his flu from the other week. The colds and flus seem to just hanggggg around so long. It's awful. I hope you and DH don't get it either.
Missy - That's such a cute video of Liam on FB. I think I'll start with the apple puree in the farex next week or something. Idk yet.
:hello: Tasia, Pixie, SW, Belle, Zee, Feeb, Sweetpea, Bear and anyone else I might have accidently missed. I hope you're all going great!
Sorry, my attempt at personals was so lazy. I'll try better next time.
Thank you all so much for answering my dumb questions about solids. I thought all this would come flooding back to me from when Elijah was a baby but it's not really. Yesterday when I gave him the farex straight after his first bottle I was thinking it wasn't the same as what we did with Elijah but I couldn't remember how it all worked. Lol. Today i moved it to the middle of the day and it worked out better for me cause I wasn't all doing housework and trying to get Elijah's breakfast at the same time, etc etc.
I uploaded a couple pictures of his first go at farex. Here and here.
Today we had Santa photos. We thought Bubbablue was going to cry but once he was distracted he was right and smiled away... Elijah on the other hand wasn't in the mood but we did manage to get a decent smile out of him by the end. I would put it on here for you guys to see but I don't know where our scanner is or if the cords are all with it. :dunno:
Teething is going okay here so far. The days are full or whinges and clingyness, but so far the nights haven't been disrupted. I've got everything crossed the nights stay that way too. The bonjella seems to be helping somewhat sometimes. I'm also hoping he's a fast teether like Elijah was, and I was when I was little too. :pray: :pray:
I uploaded a few new photos to FB. Here they are.
I'm going to change my ticker picture and all that jazz.
I'm sorry I rambled. :hug:
xx
Tenny- Love the pics hehehehe very cute. asking questions about solids is not a dumb question don't think like that sweety, ask away :)
Wow. So so soooooooo quiet in here today.
Tasia - Thanks. xx
It's a quiet day for us here. It's raining, but I still managed to wash and dry the clothes on the line this morning before it started to pour so YAY!
I haven't seen our Santa photo yet, but DP picked it up and says it's really gooooood.
Can't wait!!
I can't believe it's so close to Christmas already. This week is going so fast and I have no idea why. Our Bubbas will be having their first christmas next week. It's soooo exciting!!!!
I hope you're all having a more exciting day then I am.
:hug:
EDIT:
YAY! Bubbablue can roll over both ways now. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( as you can tell. :P)
and yes, again I missed it but Elijah saw it and told me. He was so excited telling me too. Hehe. Yeah, baby, yeah!!!
:leap::leap:
Howdy!

Mez: Hope Izzy gets better soon! Summer colds are the worst....Oh its not really summer there lately is it?? ;)
My BIL & SIL's cafe is looking great! Opens 27th Dec. It is in the Botanic Gardens where the new Aviation centre has just opened and right next to Bert Hinkler House (if you don't know who Bert Hinkler is, he flew a tiny plane somewhere for the 1st time and landed in Bundy I think...sorry I should know). I took 188 photos of the cafe, Hinkler house, aviation centre, train, feeding ducks, turtles and eel and of the playground....Then helped with unpacking and cleaning etc in the cafe.
I came home to find our last goldfish (one died last week) at the bottom of the tank and limp but it was still alive so I put it in a bucket with a little salt and clean water, gave it its "last meal" then went out for a swim, I got back expecting it to be dead but its looking pretty good, it might live another day! Maybe I should become a fish Dr LOL wish I had of thought of it for the other fish. Anyway I should have been off here ages ago. Miss Ash has decided to wake at 5am or earlier for a feed and then screams/talks etc so I can't go back to sleep....I've been too spoilt!
