Susie loved the farex! and pumpin! we gave her a bit of pumpkin last friday, just a lil and she thought it was marvellous! monday we tred farex and she ate up a fair bit, prob about 1/4 of the quantity on th back of the packet! not gonna give it every day just yet, just when she is asking for it
Mrs C so glad Susie is enjoying her food. Kodi just spits everything out & pulls this face like i'm trying to poison her lol
So we are gonna wait till 6 months now, Her sleeping is much better & her feeding are back to normal so i guess she wasn't ready for solids just yet.
Everything is going well here, We are in the middle of planning M's 2nd birthday & Kodi is getting so much personality now. I really love this stage
Mo - Kodi sounds like the same size as Miss T. She has rolls on her legs too.
Solids are going well.
Mrs C - Miss T tries to help mum and dad drink too by putting her hand under our cups. She gets upset if we eat without her having food.
We are giving her water to wash down her solid food - smooth consistency.
Breast feeds are about 4 hourly but not consistently - she is very distractible now and often doesn't finish her feed in one go so comes back for more.
Sleeping 7.30 to 6.30am with about 2-3 feeds in between now. Ends up in our bed sometimes if I am too tired. Using portacot in ensuite to prevent too much co sleeping. Works OK.
Not that good at settling self - sleeping after feeds
JB - have a safe trip. Where are you moving to?
Hollo - congrats on the teeth! Wish T would break one through soon - she has been teething for ages.
Miss T rolls one way or the other but not often - not as keen as the boys were I'm sure. She is a pretty content and relaxed little chick most of the time (except when teething).
JB - can safely call it teething when baby chomps, drools, and looks distressed/cries etc. Also can have red cheeks, amonia smell to urine, runny nose, rash. Miss T started chewing her own fingers at 8 weeks accompanied by swollen gums, distress, drool etc. Couldnt use teethers at that point.
Alexandra is trying so desperately hard to crawl, it's so funny. She pushes up on her arms and brings her legs up and ends up going further backwards and further away from her toys, poor little thing. Not much happening here apart from being busy preparing for our trip. We're in the process of getting passports, visas, booked our flights today We're moving up north when we get back so have to pack up all of our stuff and put it in storage before we go.
JB - hope you had a good trip, I bet the relatives love Immy
FF - it was you that was moving - I think I mixed things up - So you are moving further north - that should be warm!
Tirion is doing the same backwards movement but it is more of a creep than a crawl at the moment. The frustration should do them good to help them want to work out the crawling thing.
Hey nice work on getting Alexandra down in her cot. Have you started the solids yet? We are moving on from apples, pumpkin and cereal this week. I think I will make some squash and maybe try avocado.
I cant wait til she can eat porridge with me in the morning.
Sometimes when I put her to bed I miss her at night! It seems so weird as it my time out but she is just so lovely.
FF we are hvaing a BBQ with a Dora theme, So we have a dora pinata, dora cake, pink, purple & yellow balloons, streamers etc..
Kodi does the same backwards action, brings back so many memories of Maddi doing the same stuff.
SP-good luck with the avo & squash I remember Maddi loved avo & Banana when we first started solids.
Kodi is still not the least bit interested in solids yet & she's back to feeding 4 hourly so we will till she 6 months & go straight for the veggies i think.
Phoenix - I used to love doing themed bday parties for the boys and am looking forward to it again. I am not up with Dora but sure I soon will be! Have fun with that!
my Josh did not care for solids for ages pat 6 months but my Ben loved them from 5 months. miss T just cant get enough and started at 4 months. I laughed when the health nurse said that we should start at 4 months now as new studies show no probs with allergies! When you have been a mum as long as I have you realise thigns always just keep changing incessantly and you need to make up your own mind.
SP - I think that JB is moving too, just to confuse you even more I'm a little bit woried about the move because we're going overseas and will be coming from -20 to 40+ degree heat. will be nice to see snow but.
Haven't started solids yet, will probably try in the next few days. I have a feeling that she isn't quite ready yet, so we'll see what happens.
ahhh I feel good getting to bed at 10:15 last night! up from 4:15 till 6 then bed for a couple more hours. very good!
my clever little girl rolled from her tummy to her back last night!! shes loving naked massage and tummy time at night that we started this week! and voila all of a sudden she was on her back!! we're not feeding solids every day, just every couple of days for the moment, making it fun! but she loves it alright
Funkee - phewwww thats a huge temperature change!! hope you have a good move!!
Mrs C - I hope you have many more improvements in your nights sleep! It is amazing how much more human you feel when you actually sleep for a few extra hours eh!
Go Suzie with the rolling. It is exciting to watch them progress.
FF - I was just thinking that the pain of OS travel is the time zones too. At least bubs is small but you will still notice a difference with sleep wake cycle.
Interesting to hear that it is warm in QLD already. We had 20 deg in Melbourne the other day but that was very out of the ordinary. Isnt the smell of spring motivating! I think we will walk again this morning. Need to shed the winter kilos. Always hungry at the moment
Sorry I haven't written much lately. I'm having a pretty rough time. My Grandpa is in hospital. I've spent the weekend down there but had to come back since DP has work.
DP's leave application was denied because there has been a freeze on any time-off since others have taken so much lately that they are falling behind... so everyone else doing it has meant we can't when we really need it. They said it will be lifted at the start of November...
I also have lost my engagement ring. My beautiful engagement ring. The worst part is I think I left it in a shopping center bathroom so I'm wondering what the chances are of me getting it back
Imogen's sleep is all over the place. The other night she was up from 8:30pm to 2:45am and then woke again at 4:30am... last night was a bit better but it is all so unpredictable.
JB - I really hope that things start to look up for you soon. Fingers crossed that an honest person found your ring and handed it in to shopping centre management.
SP - We're lucky in that there will only be a 1-2 hours time zone difference when we are overseas so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm not looking forward to the 10 hr flight to Seoul during the day, at least our return flight is an overnighter so hopefully Alexandra will sleep most of the way.
MrsC - Yay on the sleep and the rolling!
Alexandra just rolled over onto her belly in her sleep and woke herself up in a fright, poor little thing. We have started on solids with pumpkin and also some watermelon in one of those mesh feeder things. She loves watermelon! I took it out of her hands to try to move the watermelon down and she started screaming I think we're going to try avocado tomorrow. We had a quiet father's day today, I had a killer headache and slept for 3 hours in the middle of the day but we still managed to have a nice late lunch together.
JB - Hugs for you! Yes hope your ring is handed in by an honest soul! And that you all get that break soon and some rest
FF - I must try watermelon in the mesh bag thingy. I bought one on a special but havent used it yet.
Oh Seoul should be fine re time zones. Cool
Happy Fathers day to all the Dads for yesterday.
We (Miss T and I) made a special hand and foot print card for Dad. We went for a quiet lunch together at the bakery and had champagne with our own Dads in the late avo. We watched Never ending story with DS 1 &2 in the p.m.
Tirion just rolled from tummy to back to tummy to back to push over the cup tower as we speak!
