We are still around!!
Hi there ladies and gentlemen, it has been such a long time since i last posted!!!
I have been working 3-4 nights per week till 12am and Ashlyn still doesnt sleep through she usually wakes around 12.30-1am for a bottle then back to sleep till around 7.30am so sleep is very precious for me
Ashlyn is still so little she still fits into 0000 outfits i bought when she was born...not all but some!! I have been buying her 000 an 00 for winter she is just long and lean..i cant remember her weight i have to take her for her check up soon. She is crawling properly now and is super quick...Rylan doesnt know what has hit him she likes to ruin his little Thomas train tracks he meticulously sets up and is constantly saying no Ashlyn leave it alone, go away!!!Soo cute. They also like to wrestle with each other now which he loves and she thinks is quite funny...but as soon as he is down she goes in for the kill...pulling hair and licking him anywhere she can manage!!!
He thinks its gross she cacks herself.
Ashlyn can cheer she throws her arms up and goes ergh
She is climbing up and walking around anything that doesnt move and tries on those that do hehe, she has just cut her 2 top teeth so thats a total of 4...but she is sick atm poor thing she is so hoarse and has a terrible cough so dry and rough and has a temp for a few days, so she has been very unsettled!!
Rylan is loving preschool he goes 2 full days now and thinks its great.
Sorry i cant do personals its fairly late so i am going to hit the hay before one of the kids wakes up!!
I will try to pop in more regularly but with planning our wedding, work and 2 kids and not to mention housework etc etc it gets hard.
Take care will be back asap

Hi everyone
Argh, Diana seems to want to put everything in her mouth, except finger food!! How weird is that?? We went to playgroup today, and when they brought out morning tea (bits of fruit and cheese), the other bub there, a 7 month old boy, ate the finger food happily, but Diana just didn't want to know. Even when I picked a piece up and tried to give it to her, she wouldn't open her mouth.Has anybody else experienced this??
Hi to everyone. Hope your bubs are doing well.

I have to know how much she weighs!!! Please come back and tell us when you know.
Starfish - If I let DS touch the finger food, he smashes it into the high chair or the ground. If I hold it, he eats it. Go figure?!?

Starfish - I gave Lewis steamed carrots today. He squished them into the carpet. Yet he is happy to put my plant in his mouth! The only finger food he will eat is toast (after he has spat it out and re eats it!)

At last checkup which was on the 5th feburary so she was 7 and a bit months she weighed 7.3kg 69cm long..her next visit is on the 10th April so i will have a definate updated weight then
Ashlyn loves fingerfood she does everything you have mentioned the mashing etc but she also eats it inbetween...she should be fatter because she is forever stealing rylans food hehe...she loooves scrambled eggs i have found out, after rylan walked out of the loungeroom leaving his lunch on a little collapsable table and i walked back in to find Ashlyn was sitting with the table upended and the eggs surrounding her having a good old munch
I had noticed earlier in the post you were talking strawberries, they are reccomended for later on but mainly if you have had a previous history of allergies, the jars should be ok because there is such a small percentage of berries in them compared to the fresh fruit itself..if that makes sense.
I havnt had a chance to not be able to give her anything because she always steals rylans sandwiches so far she has had peanut butter
But i am actually heading up to the hospital with Ashlyn at 10.30pm as she has a terrible cough and stopped breathing in her sleep last night and i took her to one doctor and she has had a swap taken for whooping cough..then i rang the hotline thingy and he said it maybe croupe and i talked to the gp access (afterhours dr) and he said it could be sleep apnea, he mentioned there is a new study that suggests that this is what actually causing SIDS!!! so either way i dont like any of the 3 diagnosis...i will keep you posted.

Rylansmum - i didnt think you could give egg till 1 year old? But, like you said, if they are eating what their big brothers or sisters are eating while your not watching - what chance do you get? Aiden has only had vegemite or raspberry sandwiches so far. Ashlyn sounds like she is doing just fine. One of the bubs at my playgroup is 1 day younger then Aiden, but, like Ashlyn, hasnt hit 8kg yet. Aiden, is wearing anything from size 00 thru to 2, depending on the make, what it is, and how much it costs. I have heard about sleep apena and sids - but keep us updated on how you go - hopefully, its nothing to serious for Ashlyn.. fingerscrossed.
Sarah - Aiden quite likes steamed carrots. More then pumpkin, which i was surprised about. When i first started offering him finger foods, he just squished and dropped, but, i kept offering, and now, he hardly drops any, and eats most things. I offer finger foods 3 to 4 times a day. I have in the fridge little containers of different things - cheese, polony (one of the mums at playgroup gives it to her boy, so figured would give it a go), rockmelon, and watermelon. As well as vegemite sandwichs, and sticks of pumpkin, sweet potatoe, carrot, and normal potatoe. The better he gets, the smaller i make the peices. We are down to about 2cm long, 1cm wide type bits now. But, playgroup for me, has been the driving motivator - seeing what the other babies are doing has sorta made me encourage Aiden more.
Starfish - i suggest you keep offering. Aiden would do the same, everything into his mouth other then what I wanted him to eat.. Diana will figure it out when she is ready.
Well, i think that i have finally got Aidens sleep pattern sorted. I have actually had one night where he didnt wake up at all. Mostly once a night, sometimes 2 times. Am getting less of the having him awake for 1 to 2hours where he is 1/2asleep, but, just wont go into a deep sleep. The big thing has been getting him to go to bed without a bottle, and abit of self settling - not controlled crying. I have been reading The Baby Whisperer, and i feel like I understand him so much more better now, which has been great.
Anyway - gotta go.. Night all!
Did anyone see that Meegm is pregnant again? I hadnt realised she was still using the site, and i stumbled across one of her thread yesterday, she is expecting #2 in November. Congratulations Megan!

hey all!!!!
sorry its so long, been busy doin nuthin much!(typical). work is fun and looking forward to human conversation again.
NATE is tearing along at a pace that frightens me. more barriers made and installed the other day because he ripped one down. dont realise how strong he is. we measured him at home last week with a tape measure, 76 cms..DW bought some clothes the other day size 1 and they fit very snuggly, maybe growth will slow for a while? will post a picture as soon as i can. day care love him. still waking at night
celsie- those bags are cool. especially the mens ones, if they came in camo colours i would definetly get one(hint hint).
till next time ciao

Just a suggestion. I have been reading the baby whisperer, and it has been really helpfull to me in getting Aiden sleeping better. If Nate is waking like clockwork overnight, then, for him, it is a routine. What she suggests in the book is to get up an hour before he is due to wake, stir him slightly, enough so that he is concious of you being there, but, not actually 100% awake, and then, just stay with him, keep your hand on his back, talk softly to him etc until he goes back into a deep sleep. What you are doing is resetting his clock. I do this with Aiden for his day sleeps. He wakes at the end of his first cycle, so, i go in about 5-10min before, stir him abit, roll him onto his side, reposition his legs, stick his dummy back in, and then, stay with him till his breathing goes back to being really slow, and he stops sucking his dummy. By doing that, i have extended his day sleeps to over 1 1/2hours each. I only have to do that as he comes out of his first cycle. Try to see if you can get the book - "The Baby Whisperer, Solves All Your Problems" Try ebay, or, even just your library.hey all!!!!

Your other option is, if Nate doesnt take to water, is diluting formula or b/m, which ever he is on, and gradually making it weaker and weaker till it is just water. The theory being, it will fill him enough to put him back to sleep, but, not as many calarioes so that he doesnt eat properly during the day. I had an issue with Aiden when he was about 5months of eating really only from about 1in the afternoon thru till about 3am. I had to retrain him to eat during the day, and thats what my chn suggested to me.
Another thing with the eating finger foods, they are getting to the stage of imitation. So, when you put finger foods on bubs trays, sit with him/her, and eat a few peices yourself.

Unfortunately, Ju Ju Be don't make one in camo. Funny, my husband said the same thing! But, I'm looking in to two other lines, so if they do a camo, I'll let you know.celsie- those bags are cool. especially the mens ones, if they came in camo colours i would definetly get one(hint hint).

Rylansmum - Good luck with Ashlyn's diagnosis then. Hope it's nothing serious. LOL at her surrounded by scrambled egg!! I read it was 9 months for egg but you are right, all these things are only for allergy's sake so once you know she can eat it, it's fine.
Debbie - You are very organised with your fridge! I tried Lewis with Cucumber which he seemed to like. Will keep trying new things. His food isn't very mashed anymore either and he manages to chew quite well. I still see things in his mouth 20 mins after he's eaten them though!!
I forgot about Meegm, I wonder what happened there? Anyway good to hear she's pregnant again.
I just don't know if I'll have another baby. I go through phases of either wanting one or not, but I must admit more recently I'm leaning towards not. Plus there's the whole IVF thing again. I would just feel guilty having Lewis as an only child though. I'm 36 next month so shouldn't take too long to decide.
Anyway am at work so should get on with some work!

MumofLewis Thanks for the luck...we got home from the hospital at around 12.30am last night and they seem to think it is a viral infection, but i will get the results for whooping cough tomorrow afternoon, just to make sure. they took her temp while we were up there and it was 39.5!!!!
It was pretty funny to find her with the egg...rylan wasnt happy but i have told him a thousand times to put things up but he doesnt listen...he will learn one day hehe...thats a 3 year old for you.
Im not too worried about what she eats now as she has stolen all the scary stuff off rylan and she didnt get any reaction so i think i might be right.
Debbie i have tried to limit what she gets but it is hard she is such a little thief!!!
Doctors/hospitals and helplines can be so frustrating i got 3 different possible dignosis plus a 4th once i saw the doctor so i really dont know what to think...ill just keep an eye on her and se how she goes.
Celsie We weighed her at the hospital and she weighs a grand total of 7.8kg!!!! tiny little thing...ill have to upload some newer pics of her for you guys
Debbie Wow you are super organised with his food..im nowhere near that organised i kinda whack what we have in there together and give it to her hehe...and if i cut up any fruit Rylan would steal it he is a fruit freak!!
