Well Liam is growing so fast. Not sure what his weight is as he has his appointment with the nurse next thursday but I reacon he has to be at least 6.5kg. He is pretty heavy well I think he is. He is talking heaps, giggling, doesnt roll over yet but wont be long. He bounces of the lounge in his bounce a net so much. Its very funny to watch.
Wow - it's been FOREVER since I last got on here... have been SOOO busy it's unbelievable.
Well we do the big move to Emu Park this Thursday (13th) so I've been busy packing and cleaning. I have decided that if I ever build a house, we're not having windows - it took me 5 hours to clean them!!!
Jess is going great. She had her needles on Friday so has been running a temperature since then, and her little legs have big red welts on them. But, doctor said there is no question that our little girl is definately NOT underfed! Lol - she weighs 6.8kg and is in the 75th percentile for her height... yeah, not a chance of her being a little bit short like her daddy!
She's now rolling over, laughing and loves telling "stories" to anything that stands still (including the bathroom tiles!). She has gone swimming a couple of times now and is getting used to water. The last few days, she cracks the BIGGEST tanties if I leave her sight which is frustrating when I have to pack and clean... but I put her in her walker (she can only go backwards at the moment!) and we're good to go!!!
Bondy's going well. He is enjoying work and really enjoys his week at home - he notices a lot more of the changes in Jess than I do! He's at work until tomorrow night, so has missed out on helping me out... I'm sure he planned it this way! Lol.
We went to Melbourne last week for a friend's wedding and Jess was an absolute angel - she slept almost the entire flight and only got upset once and that was when another little baby over the aisle from us started to cry.
Oh - she's on solids now too.... wow doesn't that make a mess!??!
Not much else to report. Just thought I'd drop in quickly and say hi since it's been a while. Hope you're all doing really well.
Taz xoxo
P.S Hard to believe Jess was 4 months old yesterday - where has that time gone!?!?!?
Taz i hear you where has the time gone.
Hope your move all goes smoothly
Lachlan had his needles last week and was very grumpy for several days infact on Friday he didnt sleep at all. I was exhausted, seems like he is back to normal now except for a bit of a cough and runny nose.
Im going to have to find new things to keep him occupied as rolling is now his great event and he does it constantly, and grabbing everything in sight , he loves his hands. The nurse weighed him in at a whopping 8.2kg at 4 months. When i tell people his age they always say my gosh i thought he was 6 months old.
He is also in desperate need of a hair cut, he has a shocking comb over my friends have nicknamed him Uncle Arthur
wow its beena while! and gosh havent all the bubs grown up in such a small amount of time! just amazing!
Last week dd bought a nasty cold home from kinder.. so now everyone has it, Tia is ahead of everyone and alyssa seems to be doing better than hubby and I (must be the boobie milk..)
Alyssa has 2 teeth that are deffinately thru. The bottom front middle ones.. and the top ones are not far behind.. she has been teething now for 3 weeks.. I cannot believe it! I know i said from the begining that i wanted to breastfeed past the teething this time around, but i hardly expected to face the challenge 3 months early!!! i had one terror night in tears, fearful of another bite.. so much pain! All coz the milk doesnt come quick enough for her! humph! Weve started her on a wee bit of rice cereal, but she still has that tongue rejection reflex thing and so if not all of it comes out.. lol.. she does enjoy biting the soft rubber spoon tho! So Alyssa is bonjella'd to the max, dribbling like no tomorrow (even spiting bubbles out.. lol) She knows how to kick her legs to get her bouncer bouncing, too cute!
we all went out to dinner with friends and she slept thru the whole time, a miracle! Will have to go out for dinner more often i think
Alyssa slept thru one night from 8pm to 5pm, which was lovely.. unfortunately hasnt happened since.. lol.
Our 9month old kitten Nori ran away during a storm awhile back and so last week i fell in love with these little fluff balls at the pet shop and came home a week later with 2 kittens! So now we have Anna and Asha tiny little 9.5 week old kittens..and im thinking im crazy 4 wanting more babies in the house.. lol
Bella is now 8kgs neat. I have lost 5kgs and I have digital scales, so I weighed her myself yesterday for giggles....and now I wish I hadn't.
How did they all get so big so quickly!
I am working crazy hours and Darren has had nightshift and thanks to the airforce he is being sent away for a week which is really traumatic as I now need to find and hire a babysitter who can do all nighters during the week. Luckily I have already had 4 responses to an add that I put on Gumtree and I should be fine.
Porsha and Bella are very much in love, which is nice. I was worried that the "new baby" excitement would have worn off, but Porsha is a great big sister and has taken to Bella well.
Hmm, not much to report really. Just amazed that 4 months have passed.
Bella will get her needles on Wednesday afternoon I think..... will have to try to fit them in!
Wow - it's been quiet on here lately huh? Guess that means everyone is super busy!!!
All going well this end. Jess is still a pretty good baby most of the time. Though, she can throw the BIGGEST tanties ever.... it seriously sounds like a banshee - people must think I'm killing her or something the way she carries on!!!
At the moment she's in her walker, and sucking on the steering wheel on it so that's alright - better than the scream she did while we were in the park with the dogs! For some reason, she has decided she doesn't like going for a walk (but will scream blue murder if the sun shines in her face!!!)
Bondy's gone back to work for another week. He gets back next Monday - my 31st and Jess's 5 month birthday - as well as Jessie's careparents who are going to be staying with us for a couple of days on their way down to Toowoomba. Can't wait to see them again - it's been a while!
I've joined a gym and so far that's going alright. There's a free creche there so I don't have to worry about Jess - she's right next door. I must say though, that you find some muscles you forgot about when you start doing weights etc again! Lol.
The first class I did was last Wednesday and it was pump. Bondy was there with me and by the end of it I told him Jess needs to start walking NOW as I was sooooo sore I couldn't imagine picking her up!
She's on more and more solid food every day. Apple & Mango fruit is her favourite for the morning, and meat & veg for dinner... though she LOVES the parsnip, carrot & sweet potato!
hi every1! hope all is well!!!
good on u Taz for getting into the gym!
Im still breast feeding Alyssa, biting is not happening as often (altho she has the most amount of teething toys/rings etc ive ever seen for 1 bub) I have to watch her as she is getting around rolling everywhere! right now she is chewing on photo frames?! what the.. hang on.. she constantly has something in her mouth, hand, blanket, socks, dummy, chew toy, sleeve etc.. She loves watching the kittens when they are nearby and ive come in to find one of the kittens sleeping in her cot(up the other end) Alyssa has her 4 month needles 2day, a bit late again. The kittens have their needles today as well..
Tia has started churcking screaming tantrums.. and will tie a long sleeve top around her neck so she has a bib! Her kinder finishes up soon, she loves her school uniform and wanted to show everyone at her daddies work. lol.
Alyssa im pretty sure is constipated! she hates rice cereal but is loving carrot! surely even on solids babies have runny poo? these things ive forgotten!! x.x
anyways gotta be off..
