SW I forgot to ask if you started Alyssa on solids - apart from the PS3 that is! - and how she is going with it.

we have started her on bits and pieces. She's not interested in anything mushy at all. The first night (rice cereal and EBM) she ate it, now she's a bit "been there, done that", and has since refused to take more than a taste. So we've had a taste now of various mashed things with no reactions and will keep trying something new every few days.

On the whole, she only WANTS what we are eating. Anything else and she's not keen at all. Even if I give her something like what we have from my own plate, if it is mashed it's not happening. She had a good time sucking on a raw carrot stick one night

We also have a mesh feeder, and she enjoys chomping on peaches using that, but that's it.

Oh - and she hates banana with a passion no matter how we serve it up to her. REALLY hates it!

Tenny - hope your little man is feeling better soon. We're up for immunisations this morning. Yay. And agreed with the others - your boys are absolutely adorable!! Think they got some good genes there =)))

Hi

Man, i'm buggered! I did so much work outside today.DS was at school and DH worked last night and got home about 8am so he watched the twins so i could work on the yard. its looking good, heaps more work yet but it will get there.
but all my boys are in bed so its time to relax, Caleb is awake but happy to chat to himself, Ike and seb and out cold. DH had to go back to work but i hope he doesn't have to stay too late.

thanks for all the compliments guys you will give me a big head. but i think we are all super mummas.

mez- dont be hard on yourself. I loose control so often, we all do and those who say they don't are lying. So many times i have yelled at the boys to "shut the hell up" and sometimes even using the "F" word at them. and then i get so upset at myself and cry cause i feel bad that i screamed at them. Its hard being depended and demanded on 24/7. and to be honest i dont find Twins anymore stressful than isaac was alone. I honestly believe it doesn't matter how many babies you have 1 can be just as hard as 5 depending on if they are teething, sick, moody etc. and i know you and every woman (and man) here would easily handle 3 plus babies.
But i hate to say it i haven't had a good nights sleep in 2 years more if you count being PG with Ike.

Pixie-Go beth.Don't wish her to walk early tho, isaac walked early and it was a nightmare to keep him in one place, sebi loves to stand aswell. and jump if you hold his hands he will bounce around.

Tennykins- its ok for your posts to be all about you hon thats why we are here. sorry you couldn't get the imunisation, but im happy DS likes school.

missy- yay callum no nappy.

Lots of babies are getting teath. we have the symptoms but no sighn of anything yet, isaac didn't get teeth till he was almost 1.

Arimeh- isaac on occation can wake screaming too, it could be juat a nightmare. hopefully he will settle for a better night for you. sorry i am no help with DD and her bottles. how many ml's is she having a day and how many bottles, will she drink more if you leave it longer between bottles.

Tannis- good on you for using the bike. i haven't been on the treadmil much. too tyred.

Marjella- you'r no under achiever! just go look at you deautiful baby. you should never think that you are.

well its late and hot and im buggered.

Have a good night all.

What a horrible night I have had trying to put Ashlea to sleep!!

Started at 7pm she went down ok, but then woke at about 8pm when Chris got home (thats a whole other story I won't go into now!) Then I got her up as I was SOOO hungry and had to eat then it took from 8.45 - 10pm to get her to go to sleep! I had KFC for dinner, I think she doesn't like it LOL

Sorry no personals tonight just wanted to come in and whinge hahaha

Hearing ya Tan, our sleeping has been all over the place... and just to add to the fun madam decided to get up at 4.30 this morning and took an hour to get back to sleep
Kristy I can't believe you were working in the yard - weren't you melting? It was pretty hot yesterday? TBH I think you deserve a big head!
Missy yay for Callum! what a big boy!
SW we have a mesh thingy too, she likes that.... bummer about immunisations it seems like only the other day we had the last ones and they knocked her around so hoping the six months ones aren't as bad!
Anyway somebody's calling so better go, big to Mel, Tenny, Tasia, Kel, Majella, and everyone!

[Tannis]

Oh Ash did that the other morning for the 1st time! Usually if she wakes she feeds and goes straight back to sleep but the other morning she woke at 3.40am and didn't go back to sleep until about 4.30am.

Hi All,

I hope your weeks are all going ok.

I can't beleive Reaghan is 7 months already (Wednesday just passed). I had her 6 month check yesterday so all is good.

6months 7months
Weight 6.970kg 7.390kg
Lenght 63cm 64cm
Head C 43cm 44.5cm

She is going realy well on solids, eats one meal a day and starting to show wanting another. She can go from laying to sitting and back on her own, and has started to pull herself up onto her knees. If we hold her standing she holds one hand and tries to take steps.

Hope you all have a great weekend, I am going out tonight for my birthday yeah. My two older kids sang happy birthday to me this morning was so cute.
