Hi girls,
Sacha - thanks for the info on the night terrors and baby led weaning. Re the night terrors, wow! You are so right that trying to help them can actually make it worse. Last night I definately felt like I was doing more harm than good but saying that I could never just leave him to cry like that. Re the food, I have given Oliver avocado to suck on and he was fine. He also had some rockmelon which I held onto while he sucked on it and a piece broke off in his mouth. I got a little nervous at first but it was so soft after it had been sucked on for ages that he swallowed it down with no worries. I think I will try the brocolli! I know I gave my oldest son toast fingers just before he was 8 months. I probably wouldn't give it any earlier than that though. I'm not pureeing anymore either, especially things like pumpkin and zuchini - these vegies are so soft anyway. I have also been boiling some rice and adding that to the vegies as well.
Megan - I hope Lucas makes a quick recovery and I hope you are ok!!!!
Jas - Yesterday morning when DF was leaving for work Oliver looked over at him and said "did". It was very cute. Funny thing is when we fell preg, DF sent everyone the same text message, - "Hi everyone, I'm going to be a DID!" - obviously spelling "dad" wrong. I think that might have been a 'you had to be there sort of moment' but had to share! LOL
Oshani - have fun shopping tomorrow and good luck with your phones.
Veronica - I tried to look at the video of Avaleigh but it wouldn't work for me. Oh and I wouldn't be giving cows milk until 12 months.
Em - I absolutely love nectarines and whenever I'm eating one I always let Oliver suck on it. He loves it, actually I think he ends up with more than I do! And he screams when it's gone! I find the white ones aren't as sweet as the others.
I'm so glad my DF is home. It was our first night apart since that horrible argument we had at christmas and I think the break did us good. But he went to bed when the kids did cause he was so tired from work.Oh well tomorrow is friday and we've got nothing booked for the weekend for once!!!! Think we will head out and do some fishing at Bribie Island. Would love to catch some whiting for dinner.
OH yeah!!! Strange thing happened tonight. My boob leaked. It was weird, hasn't done that in months. I've felt like my supply has increased a little lately and then tonight after I got out of the shower I put a singlet on with no bra and a few minutes later I felt something and looked down and had this huge wet patch!! It was really odd. Does this happen to anyone else?
Well I'm off cause I'm rambling now.
Sweet dreams all.
