Babies Born July 16th ~ 31st 2008 #7

Hey folks.... hope you've all had a good weekend!
Been very busy here but pretty good.... had a fabulous time at the MG party with all the dads.... got some more photos which I will post probably tomorrow and put up a link :D
Don't know if I can catch up on personals but here goes...
Tasia sorry hon I can't even remember what the problem was that you rang the 24 hour line for, I thought it was cause J was waking at 4am every morning? Anyway my only suggestion would be make sure he gets an extra bottle in the day cause maybe he is not getting enough :dunno: hope he sleeps better for you
Kel hope you had a good time looking at the Xmas lights! We were going to go and look at some in Manly this week but not sure we'll have time.... it's going so fast!
Missy sorry to hear Callum is sick. Are you still going to Zee's to meet up tomorrow? Do you know what time? The window cleaner is coming but that should be early so I will leave here after that. Not sure how long it will take me to get there.... just wanted to confirm it's still on since my phone is still disconnected :wall: I worry I have missed people trying to contact me!
Tenny your grandma sounds like a big meanie! and yes one of the girls had a santa suit it was so cute!
Mel, Tan you gorgeous girls big kiss!
ah I'm running out of steam LOL big :hello: to SW, Belle, Mez, feeb and everyone else I missed!

HEY,

CANT SEEM TO FIND THE POST I DID A FEW DAYS AGO (WED), MAYBE IT DIDNT WORK:doh:

Sorry im so outta the loop, just wanted to say im feeling much better.. still bruised ((looks like DH has bashed me LOL), had a great bday and Laila had her bday party today and had heaps of fun.

Kellxx- Glad you told your mum what you thought, I got the shakes when I told MIL off for the 1st time.

Rach- Hun im not sure whats happening thats why I have popped on, still come over even if Missy cant make it. Anytime after 9 is ok, I will just be podding around my place lol.

Sorry have Lucas in my arm..BBL

Mel - YAY DS! That's great! It's so exciting when they first start. I hope DD is ok. Thanks for replying in that other thread. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Zee - Glad you had a great birthday and Laila did too! How's the teeth going?

Sorry, I'm very lazy with the personals.
Thank you for replying about my nan.

Hey girls, sorry I can't do too many personals tonight, feeling sick and so tired!! I'll do my best though.

Tasia: Can't remember if I said to you on FB the other night but with Jonathan just go with the flow and let him lead the way, I wouldn't let anyone tell you that you should be getting a 5mth old out night feeds. I always fed J first if he woke during the night, he only did it during growth spurts and teething. You can alway catch up on sleep during the day when Jonathan sleeps if you are struggling with that (I did), housework will still be there when you wake up.

Mel: WOOHOO ARICYN!!!! Now its time to encourage (but don't push ;)) and he will be TT'ed in no time!!

Missy: No idea how you got on each others MSN's very strange haha. Hows Callum tonight?

Tenny: OMG @ you grandmother!!! I second everything Mel said, you are the best mother your boys can have and they are gorgeous boys at that! I also read your other thread (sorry I haven't responded) I agree with you I was horrified when I read it! Oh hun I wish you lived closer so I can give you a big :hug:! You can always state your opinions in here or PM me I'll listen :)

Re: Xmas cards....No problem, it was a pleasure making and sending them :) If anyone didn't get one its cause I don't have your address....if you PM me your address I can send one :)


Jayden has been a right PITA the last few days, I know he isn't well but OMG!! He was having "issues" about going to bed tonight, Mel when you text me he was having a tantie over not wanting the light off. I eventually calmed him and he touches my boob and asks "whats that" he know what they are but I told him and he said "Oh.....Ashee likes those, Ashee likes your boobies" I laughed and said yes she does, he said how he has baby boobies but its too dark to see them then said how he wanted boobies! I told him boys don't get boobies and he had another tantrum saying " NO BUT ME WANT THEM!!" I told him "fine get them when your older then" LOL Anyway lots of whinging, a toilet trip and a custard later, I eventually said I have to pee now I'll be back and I haven't heard from him since so hopefully he's asleep.
I put Ashlea in the cot for a sleep today for the first time, I went shopping about 45mins later and apparently she woke up not long after I left so either she didn't like it or just wasn't that tired then.
My xmas party was great last night, although it was a bit windy on the boat. I had about 5 or 6 drinks....no 2 the same! Luckily I sobered up well before we got back as I was so conerned over if I needed to feed Ashlea and came to the conclusion I wouldn't dream feed her I'll have another drink and I'll be right by the time she wakes up herself early hours of the morning....didn't even think of the fact that we drove there so I have to drive home!! All was good though and I fed Ash before I went to bed at 1.30m. Anyway thats the reason I am soooo tired today, no hang over though thank god!! Just wasn't impressed with Ashlea waking at 6.30am haha.

Just a quick pop in this morning before we head off to see my girlfriend and her kiddies. We're all dressed just waiting to go now.

We went and saw some Christmas lights last night.. oh Jesse absolutely loved them! I was almost in happy tears hearing him so excited each house we went to saying "wwoooooww" and "loooook". Oh its such a great feeling. Was a late night for him as it doesnt really get dark until about 8-8.30pm and hes usually in bed about 7.30pm. We got home about 9.30pm. But he did so well and im so glad we did it. Keira slept the whole way which was probably a good thing.

I best get going. Hope you all have a great day! Only 3 sleeps until Christmas!!! :o

Good morning ladies & Bear

Hope we r all having a nice morning. Jonathan slept ok last night, he went to sleep at 11.30 then he woke up at 12.30, went and checked up on him but he fell asleep asap. He then woke up at 5.45am, but he was happy and taled to himself, i stayed in bed till 6am & got up and fed him, Thank-u all so much for ur help & advices. I'm sorry if I was winging or complaining ( i didn't really mean to be).

Kel- that is so cute that Jesse was happy to see xmas lights at houses :) Have a great day sweety :)

Tan- Yeah u have mentioned it before about going with the flow & I will. About was u sleeping during the day while Jonathan is asleep, I can't it's me I can't sleep during the day, I will only just lie down on the couch & watch telly. Glad u had a great time last night. LOL Jayden so cute that he said lol how funny. Yaaay for putting Ashlea in her cot for the first time, even though it was a short time, but she will get used to it :)

Anastasia - I was thinking this over this morning - and you said he doesn't drink the boiled water - how are you giving it to him? If you are trying it out of a bottle - try it with a sippy cup instead ;)

Kel - aww that woulda sounded sooo cute!!!!!! I love it when DS gets all excited about something and yells "mummeee... LOOK"... pmsl.. its sooo cute..

Tan - J is so funny!!!! Such a treasure ;) :lol: And yay for having a few drinks - you go girl ;)

I'm at work today - DH is home with DD - having a daddy/daughter day! DS is at daycare for the last time this year. Umm yeah.. thats all from here!!!

Better go before I get busted. hehe

Mel- Yeah i give bottle boiled water. Thanx for suggesting the sippy cup, I will try & see how he goes.

This question is for anyone- Are we aloud to add butter to mash potato? I will be adding water instead of formula.

Butter is dairy based, and they say you should avoid feeding dairy in the first 12 months. Having said that, many peeps do feed dairy in small amounts and have no problems. It's up to you to decide how you want to do it for your child. Personally, I wouldn't

We had our first mach nurse appointment today since the move =)))) The nurse is absolutely in love with my girl (gorgeous little charmer that she is), and said she's tracking beautifully.

she now weighs 6.29kg and is 62.5cm in length. Couldn't be stuffed lookin for that chart thingo everyone has been filling in - too much to do and not enough time to bother with that ;) Some other time!

Haven't yet read over everything that has been happening, so not much in the way of personals. Just a quick drop in to update her stats and say how happy I am now that we have made a decision on a builder, and as such should be really getting into things with the house build early next year!! First we need to finalise all the plans, inclusions, figure out electricals, etc. We're going for fully CBus automated electricals so that will add an insane amount to the cost, but will be extremely geeky and cool! Even some of our windows will open and close at the touch of a button (and some will have rain sensors and self close!) ;) So lots of work to do to get that one organised. Should have council approval around April and start building shortly thereafter!! YAY! Might just manage to move in by next christmas, if not then shortly thereafter.

gotta go feed the gal =)

waves to all!

SW- thanx sweety for that. I have given Jonathan mash potato without butter and he loved it. That's fantastic that ur girl is doing well, great stats too.

Hun I wouldnt with the potato. Just milk(formular milk) is fine.

Well had nice day at lindsay's house with lindsay and rach. Beth is sitting up by her self and she isnt evern 5 months yet. She is so cute. Lindsay and I couldnt believe how well she was. Liam was also holding her hand today as well, Kell he is a little stud...lmfao. It was so cute.

Well bbl for a chat if I have time.

Take care and bye for now

oh kell those photos are great, the ones from kristy's house.

see ya

Hey folks!
Like Missy said we had a nice day at Zee's, sorry I couldn't stay long but its a long drive :rolleyes: and I had a late start!
Your boys are both looking great - I think Liam is a bit of a heartbreaker! Kiera better watch out, he's a flirt! Shame I didn't get a photo of him holding Beth's hand it was very funny! Callum and Laila were looking gorgeous too. What you were saying about writing things down reminded me I should write some of her milestones in her baby book :doh:
Anastasia what SW said... and the Bear has just piped up that apparently introducing fats other than those in BM or formula can cause stomach problems at this age
SW great stats, and great news about the house! Our little chunk is 7.34kg now :redface: weighed her yesterday
Tan :rofl: at Jayden's boobies!
Mel - hope work was OK, yay for daddy daughter day!
Well the wind is absolutely howling here and I'm exhausted.... just going to have a simple dinner, feed Beth and go to bed!

Howdeedooo..

Had a lovely day with my girlfriend. Was so good to see her. Her bubba is teeny tiny! Couldnt believe how small she was! Makes Keira look like a heffa lump instead of just a porky pig!

Good to hear you ladies had a good day. lol.. i think Liam and Keira have an "open" relationship. Shes always flirting with those Hawkins boys too! (Kristy's) :lol:

Tasia.. nah i wouldnt add butter just yet. Babies can have yogurt at around 8-9 months. But i probably just wouldnt introduce the butter just yet as hes only just starting on solids plus the salt content in butter isnt good at a young age. Its best not to add anything (esp salt) other than formula to their first foods as you want them to get use to the foods as they are naturally. Oh thats a good sleep for Jonathan! Its all a start at least!

Mel.. lol cute. Hope your DH and M had a nice day together.

Tan.. does he have a night light? Jesse doesnt like the light off either and has one to fall asleep to. Glad you had a nice night.

Ok DH wants to have a go on the Wii so im off.. have a nice night!

lol @ that kell. Oh that is so funny!!!!!

Have fun on the Wii

Hi all sorry no personals as trying to catch up on what you have all been saying!!!

Had DH family over for chrissy lunch sat and then sun drove 2 and 1/2 hrs to my parents as my 19 year old brother was singing at carols by candelight. (lots of pics on facebook of Jacob)

Hope you are all well and sydney girls enjoyed catch up

Evening all....

Sorry I've been MIA over the last couple of days, been getting ready for my IL's visit. They arrived last night and today we pretty much stayed at home and just chilled. Was lovely as Izzy put on a show for her nana and poppa. Very cute :)

Tenny - You're a wonderful mum and your boys are just gorgeous. :hug: to you sweet keep up the great job of being a wonderful mum.

Missy - how are you doing sweet??

Kell - Have fun on the Wii we have bought one too as our "Family" Christmas pressie can't wait to play it!

Im sitting here by my self. Everyone has now gone to bed. Just cruising the net. Ill be off soon too as I was abit hung over today...heheheh.

Have a wonderful night all.

Happy 5 months Isabel *mwah*

Soon wake up little miss - even though I HATE to do so since she took so long going to sleep tonight - but I didn't expect her to take so long to go down - and didn't put a good nappy on her - so we have to change her..

I'm contemplating trying to do a nappy change without waking her... hehe....

missy he sang wonderfully!!!!!!!!1 he has such an amazing voice he loves performing but often says no to things to be a twisted 19 year old and annoy mum and dad!! he really should go to uni and study it, (just finished 2 year graphic design course) He has won lots of trophys at eistedfords and has been in many theatre shows.

Arimeh good luck for nappy swap!!!!

ummmm hi not sure how this all works as you'll see this is my first post on here and just wondering if i can join you ladies? My DD was born 17th July. My name's Chantel i have a DF Dale and live in perth. Hope i can hang around here :crossfingers:

Hello there and welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are a pretty chatty bunch most of the time hope you enjoy your time on BB!!!!!!

Be warned very adictive

My DS was born 8/7/08 but as i spent my whole preg with these girls and bear!! I wanted to stay here and they let me YEAH YAAAAYYYYY


Tan Thanks hun for the chrissy card!! its gorgeous (only just opened todays mail as been a hot long day)

:dance:HAPPY 5mths Izzy!!!:dance:

Welcome Chantel and welcome to BB!! You can definitely join us in here, we are usually a very chatty bunch but of course things have got a bit quite as it nears to xmas. Is Alexis your 1st baby? Look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Kell: Nah he doesn't have a night light, usually he is asking for the lights off

Pix: Glad you guys had a great time, OMG I wish we all lived in the same state, it would be great to meet up with everyone....one day haha. Beth is such a clever girl to be sitting already! I think Jayden was but Ash is not even close LOL. Her stats are fantastic too! Your doing a great job!

Tasia: Enough ppl have replied but I know one of my friends used to put cows milk in with farex when her DD started solids (although she was 6mths old). Butter I wouldn't use either, pretty sure I just used formula for Jayden as he didn't start solids until 6mths either and I had stopped BF'ing by then.

I know there are posts I have missed, I'm sorry....I'm going to clean up Jayden's toys then go to bed

Oh Chris is on holidays and he has "issues" with me being on the computer...apparently I'm meant to spend all day everyday cleaning and looking after the kids :rolleyes: therefore I may not be around too often but I will pop in when I can.

Hello.
well its almost midnight and i have been feeling guilty for not being here over the last few weeks. I guess i can say i have been busy, but its just another excuse. at the end of the day im just so dam tired i look at my computer and well thats as far as i get. even poor DH has been getting neglected but thats another story.

My boys are going well. i will weigh them tomorrow again but about 3 weeks ago they were 7.9kg (Caleb) and i think it was 6.9kg (Sebastian) but i think they have put on heaps of weight in the past few weeks.
We have started solids. ATM its been all Farex and Jar stuff. I'll probably move over to home made soon but just cause of the money savings, baby food is expensive enough without buying double.when i first started ike on solids i was so worried about giving jar food but these days they are so good and even organic if you so choose. i'm not worried this time, they are healthy little mites, but I did learn from isaac to keep it simple one taste of one vege at a time creates a less fussy eater, so i will be keeping it very simple this time. at least till they can eat regular food with the rest of us.
oh and Regarding not giving butter. most nutritionists recomend mixing a small amount of salt reduced Pure butter (not marge) into carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato well anything orange it helps to release the Keratin and vitamin E and A. and also formula is mad from Whey which is derived from cows milk. just though some might find this info helpful if not interesting i know i did after i started ike on solids. but my poor buggers don't get much, breakfast is farex with pear and bananna puree or similar Lunch is fruit or pumpkin or sweet potato puree and dinner is a single vege puree. will start meat after new Year once they are almost 7 months.
They don't move much but getting there slow and steady their corrected age is still just over 4.5 months so no need to worry.
Pixi its fantastic that Beth can sit up, Isaac was sitting at 5 months too.
kell / missy the pics look great it was a nice day. and yep keira will have a few of our boys after her, she already can batt her eyes to get what she wants.
missy / pixie /Zee glad you had a gr8 day together.
AlexisMyMiracle Welcome glad to have you. its a quick bunch here but everyone is very nice.
Well it look like a few of us got or is getting a wii for christmas. it gr8 fun i kicked my DH's butt. but he has been getting practice and wants a ree match. " BRING IT ON, I AM THE Wii MASTER":lol: sorry but that what i have been saying to DH. hehe.

well its soooo late and i didn't get 1/2 the personals i wanted to get done.
But i'm thinking of you all and hopefully i won't bee too much of a strainger.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ALL.
