Sounds like we are all doing the post-Christmas toy blitz! I've just packed up all Autie's baby toys and sorted out all her others into a somewhat organised stack of boxes in her cupboard to make room for all her new stuff. I'm going to head off to Ikea at some stage and try to get some more permanent storage for inside her cupboard, probably something with tubs and drawers of various sizes. Actually, I find a weird joy in organising chaos so I'm quite looking forward to it.
Em, sounds like I will have to get the large too. Autie is about the same weight as Tom, though most of it is in her pot belly so maybe a medium will be ok. What kind of liners do you use? I have been using some Coles brand ones but they tend to end up being bum-munched if you know what I mean LOL I am thinking some cloth ones would be better. Muffins are a good idea, I just need to get off my butt and get busy in the kitchen. I like the idea of an eat-as-you-please fruit salad but I don't think it would be appealing for long in the weather we're having. Had a laugh at Tom's 'wow's. I said it to Autie when we first put the tree lights on and now whenever I turn them on, she looks at me and says 'wwwwwwow!' You are quick off the mark getting your tree down! Think ours might stay up another couple of weeks....or so....
Ooh Jan, I love a post that's all for me! LOL On the sleeping, we have had two nights of all night through! Whoo hoo! I keep telling myself not to get excited but secretly I'm hoping that it's a new routine here to stay. We're also getting 2-3hrs during the day.
New words are coming out here too, though we don't yet have 'gook' - how cute is that?! Mostly she gets the first syllable of words but strangely, we have 'shower' quite clearly - go figure. Autie got a stroller too, and like Liam, hasn't stopped pushing it for days! She was given a Baby Alive with it (from her nana) but that usually gets tossed out in favour of Upsy Daisy getting a ride. I think I will look into some cheese slices. Usually I give her grated cheese but that's way too messy for on-the-go. I think the Bega ones are quite good quality aren't they - not fake cheese?
I took advantage of Deals Direct's free shipping and bought Autie a potty - one of those ones that you can use as a step stool and toilet seat as well. I don't think she's quite ready yet (lucky, since I've just spent money on MCNs) but it's a little exciting to think about...
Well, I guess we are officially though with Dan taking a week off for Christmas, his roster now has him away for the all-important time of the month so I'm guessing it might take a while. Anyone else planning on baby-making this year?
