I just finished feeding Ash, now I am expressing. I have my work xmas party on Saturday and it goes from midday til night!! Bit inconvienient for me but...its not all about me I forgot that Ashlea will need to feed in that time that I'm away from her haha.....I will try to sneak out and feed her when I can. This will also be the first time someone else has fed her, even though she had bottles in the early days, I wouldn't let anyone feed her.
Not very successful, got less than 20ml...I did just finish feeding though so might try in the morning.
Night girls....
Oh I uploaded some pics on FB too....why does it take so long to upload??? Its so frustrating
Tan.. lol yes you were up late last night! Oh good stuff on Ash enjoying her swim!! Oh Jesse loves his yogurt too.. that and banana smoothies are his favourite and he would eat every meal if i let him. But theres not much past that he will eat. Hope he changes this habit soon though
Missy.. great stuff on Melissa's dancing!
Mel.. oow ill have to think about getting our jolly jumper out sometime for Keira. Thats good A understands like that.
Have a guy coming to fix the exhaust in our ensuit this morning, might bake DH his chocolate cake he wants, then Keira has her 4 month needles this arvo. MIL is coming over to watch Jesse here as no idea what time DH will be home from work, looks like will be a hot day. Ran out of sticky tape last night... just when i got everything that needed wrapping out and ready to go.. always the way!
Morning folks... been MIA for the last few days... really busy and having a very frustrating week....like for example I wanted to pick up some photos I have on display in a cafe in the city cause I wanted to give one to MIL as a Xmas present... well, the cafe has been sold and the new owner claims he owns the pics and won't give them back to me. Then I go to ring my friend (another lawyer) and our home phone battery is flat, and the mobile has been disconnected.... mobile is still disconnected three days later, now I need to go out and I would like to do last night's dishes first but I can't because the sink is blocked again so yeah it has been that kind of a week.
Tan - great news on Ash's swim - it's so cute! can't wait to see pics. Finally got some headbands... the Bear has announced he doesn't like headbands so I guess she will be wearing them when he's not around.
Kel, Kristy, Missy glad you had a great time at Kristy's Christmas party! Photos??
Tenny the new FB pics are really cute... will have a good look through when I have time!
Mel, Mez, Tasia SW, Belle, Zee and everyone sorry for the mememe post .... BBL or tomorrow

Thank you so much in answering my question re: solids/Farex. I will start Izzy on potato today I think and see how she goes.
Kell - that is so cool that you all had a great time at Kristy's Christmas party. Do you have any pics for us to see?? Woohoo on the GHD I love mine and if it ever died on me I would replace it What a bummer on the sticky tape it's always the way though... I've run out of ribbon
Tannis - Yep the weather here in Melb at the moment is crap no wonder we are all getting colds. Yay on Ash going swimming I'll have a look at your pics on FB after this.
Pixie - oh that's not very fair about you not being able to get the photos from the cafe. You have had a bad week hey hopefully it gets better for you. I too haven't bought any headbands for Izzy cause my DH doesn't like them either
Missy - well done to Melissa on doing so well at her dance concert. Did you get any photos??
Well Izzy is getting better I think still has a blocked nose but we are getting there. Oh and she is rolling all the time now when ever we put her down she just rolls it's great.
A BIG to everyone I've missed.
PS. Nearly forgot HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ZEE for yesterday hope you had a great day!!
Pixie chick - sounds like a crappy week. I'm here if you want to chat!!!
Kel - I tried Aricyn on a raspberry and strawberry smoothie once and he liked that.. he's just started eating stuff again - woohoo!!! so the fussy stage does end eventually!!!! woooot!!!!
Tan - aww how cute, wish I had been there!!!!! She's so adorable...
Missy - thats great she did well with her dancing -she's so gorgeous.
Me - well got a toothache that ISN'T going away and I'm on major painkillers - which I hate taking cos it binds me up And then I'm in pain if I go to the toilet.. lol
Anyhoo - need sleep.. bit hungover from the codeine and I'm at work - so I should probably go do some..work... yeah... hmmm.. work...
Jonathan got up twice last night, the first time he got up 2.15am I put bonjela on him & he fell asleep but didn't last long he woke up again at 3.15am & I gave him a bottle he slept right through till 7.30am.
Mary- That is great that Izzy is rolling over. Good luck with the potatoes 2d, let us know how it goes
Mel- You poor thing I know how u feel. I hope u get better soon
Tan- It was really nice chatting to on fb Have fun on Sat xmas work party. Yay on the new cafe Yaaaay for Ashlea first swim how exciting. I wanna take Jonathan but have to get hubby to come with me as I can't swim hehehehe, & sometimes I'm scared of the pools
Pixie- Sorry to hear that u have been having a frustrating rough week. We are here for u.
Kel- Good luck with Kiera's 4 month Immunisation She'll do fine. Chocolate cake yuuuuuuuuum, I bought a frozen one choc pudding & I had some last night, & left some for dh might eat his too now, shhhh.
Mel.. oh good stuff A is eating well again.. wish Jesse would. Oh hun i hate toothaches. Hope it goes away soon.
Mez.. have fun with the solids. Just remember if youre doing mash potato to add formula rather than cows milk into izzy's Hoe she is better soon with her blocked nose.
Pixie.. oh hun what a crap week youve had. So will you be able to get the photos back? how rude is that! Hope you can.
Hi all - just a really quick one from me =) Letting you all know I'm still alive
Still unpacking boxes - getting there slowly but surely. Not too much left to go. We even managed to cook dinner in the kitchen here the past couple of nights!!
We bought Alyssa a box of huggies crawler nappies to see if she fits them yet. They're still way too big for her, but they're here for when she needs them!! Has anyone noticed on some of the new designed nappies there a pic of what looks like Pooh pole dancing? Will post a pic of one later if I remember. It's hilarious!!
Anyways - waves to all and back to unpacking boxes for me!!! Hope everyone is doing well or things are improving for those that need it (BIG hugs, Pix!!)
Tasia.. oh yep totally they can have potato it on its own but just may be a little dry iykwim? Even can add a little water if need be. Pumpkin yeh i dont add anything as it kinda holds its moisture when cooked unlike potatoes. I just meant if you were to make it as you normally make mash potato dont use cows milk until theyre about 8 or 9 months i think it is, use either formula/breastmilk or water. A quick and easy way to do pumpkin is just to microwave it! Works a treat.. turns it nice and soft.
kel- yeah i know wat u mean. I perfer to add water to the potatoes only because i don't want him getting used to formula on foods. wat about broccoli, how do swe do that?
Yeh i think the only reason they suggest using formula at first is because thats what they are most use to. Makes them able to palet the new flavours and textures easier if they have formula. I dont think they will get dependant on forumula on food.. depends how you use it. Its really just a substitute for when youd normally use cows on your own foods like cereal and mash. But doesnt mean you have to do it that way, just suggestions. Broccoli holds alot of moisture still too. I would just over cook it until its nearly falling apart and then blend it in a blender until almost puree. Add a little water from the water you cook it in if you need to. Same with all other vegies.
Kel - I can't BELIEVE he is actually eating... I've changed my way of thinking and I think its working... so far so good anyway - he even ate some pizza last night (which isn't the healthiest, but it had pineapple on it.. lol)
kel- oh ok, when can we not add formula, if i decide to ad potatoes in with the formula, when can i not add in formula with the potatoes sorry about all the questions.
Pixie - Sounds like you've had a really bad week. I hope you can get your pictures back. I can't believe the people didn't give them back before they sold the place.
Kell - Those photos are so adorable. I think Jesse and Keira look so much alike. :P YAY! for your hair straightener. I need a new one. I haven't straightened my hair in so long. I really couldn't be bothered cause it's so long. I'm so lazy. Haha. No teeth breaking through yet but they're so right just under there. I feel them everyday to see if they've actually come through. Hehehe.
SW - I haven't seen the new huggies pictures. I can't wait to see it when/if you post it. Sounds.. interesting. Lol. Wooohooo at finally being able to cook dinner in the kitchen.
Tan - YAY Ash for her first swim. I'm hoping the weather is nice here next week and we can get out for a swim. It's been so hot and cold here. Good luck with the expressing.
Mel - I hope youre tooth ache gets better.
everyone else. I hope your bubbas aren't giving you too much trouble.
I'm so worn out. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Whingy, clingy boy. Far out. He won't even keep the dummy in his mouth. He just takes it out and holds it in his hand so he can whinge some more.
I wish I had the Baby Bjorn here so I could carry him instead of holding him but silly me left it in the car.
