Babies Born June 2006 #12

[*Ali*]

I think it might be the age thing for waking for extra feeds during the night. Tori has been doing exactley the same thing as Aleise and Ally over the last week, she was waking for an extra feed at midnight and then her normal feed at 3/4. It only last just over a week though and last night she went back into her normal routine of only waking once at 3 for a feed.

Karen- I think that if weaning is the right thing to do for you then you go right ahead and do it. You have given Nathan the best start with being a breastfed bubba, but you know in yourself when the time is right for you to stop. I am going to start weaning Tori when we get back from Bali in Nov. partly because I am going to go back to work and partly because I feel that it is going to be the right time for us. I think for each person it is a personal decision and you have to make it based solely on what is right for you, your baby and your family.

Amanda- I hope Kailen is starting to feel better.

Jess- Great to see you back, looking forward to catching up on all your news.

Rory- Glad to hear you enjoyed your night out. It must have been nice to do somethign a little bit different.

Neeny- Glad to hear that all is going well for Aleise at Daycare, hasnt going back to work come around fast?

It looks like it is party season in here for some of the older brothers, I can't wait until I can start making fancy cakes for Tori's birthday and organising parties and stuff. My MIL still made fancy cakes for her kids for their birthdays right up untill she moved to bali a couple of years ago- so all three kids were in there 20's and still got a special cake for their birthday which I thought was really cool.

As for us all is going well, this is the first weekend in AGES that we have NOTHING planned and I am so excited, means we cang et some stuff done around the house and just spend some time veging out. We are going to a Quiz night on Monday to raise funds for breast cancer (this is something I always support as both my Mum and my Aunty have had breast cancer) and it is the first time we are going out and leaving Tori with my Mum and Dad. I am off to have coffee with the BB girls again today- that will make 3 weeks in a row that we have met up.

Went to visit DH Aunty, Uncle and their new baby at the Hospital on Wednesday and she is just soooooo cute, you can really see that she is related to DH side of the family already. She was about the same size Tori was when she was born and I just couldnt believe how small she was, just goes to show how quickly they grow up.

ETA: Candy I am glad that the name day went well. Congrats on the job, I am sure that Ryan will be fine in family daycare. It sounds like the wedding plans are ticking along well, I really enjoyed planning my wedding.
