Prama - i have started to ket MJ 'taste' things... she has been chewing for weeks but still has that tounge protrusion thing - also i do want to wait til round the 6mth mark as its a whole lotta work that i dont have to do at the moment!
I was cutting pumpkin the other day and i cut a peice that was way too big for her, but she could hold it and gum it...it was raw so there was no chance of her actually eating or choking in it.
havent done it since, but she really wants to eat, yesterday we went out for dinner and she cracked it when we were eating and was chewing like mad and talking... she was funny to watch.
Who ever finishes dinner first picks her up and lets her sit on our lap so that she can watch us eat - i figure the more exposure she gets to it, the better she will be when we actualy introduce.
Skye - hope your foot is better - and you weekend improved
Bron - how are you doing?
Got DSS on Saturday through to this thursday night, we are about to head the factory, as he loves 'working' with his dad!
I've been giving Jesse tastes of things too. Mostly stuff that can go on his dummy. Vegemite, tomato sauce, gravy. Things like that. The faces he pulls are so funny.
DH made the mistake of trying him on a slice of tomato the other night. He broke out in a rash all around his mouth. Dunno if it was an allergy or just the acidity of the tomato, but he won't be trying it again til he's over 12 months. He did love it though!
I might get some farex next week. We'll see. I wanna get him some rusk sticks coz he's constantly grabbing my hand to chew on. & his own.
Oh & the boob. That hurts. Normally when he bites there's a fair bit in his mouth, so it doesn't hurt too bad. But the other day he got me right on the end of my nipple!! I yelled OW & said don't do that again. He just grinned at me & kept on biting.
Sorry I haven't posted much been so busy. Yesterday I went for a 12km walk with my hubby and friend, we took DJ in his pram. Basically walked from my place to Rouse Hill, it is a big walk and I am soooo sore today from it. Last night I felt a little sick from doing the big walk, but I think my body is trying to adjust again......Today I did some of my postnatal bootcamp dvd and omg it is such a hard workout, I worked up a sweat and felt buggered afterwards. Tomorrow I have my mums and bubs class... Just so much more energised and motivated.
I will try my best on personals.... I am sooo behind.....
Nappy rash - just wanted to ask you girls if your baby has nappy rash/ecesma? DJ has been getting ecesma on his bottom, two spots which won't go away, been trying nappy rash creams and powders and nothing works. I am giving him alot more nappy free time so he can just be free - he loves it....
Baby clothes - DJ is still in 00 bonds wondersuits, and between 00-000 depending on the make. All-in-ones he tends to be 00, but mostly 000 on everything else.
Skye - I bought some rice cereal for DJ as well an organic one. I haven't started to use it yet, will wait until next week since he is 4 months this Thursday. Lately if I am eating he opens his mouth and is interested in food so thought we would give it a try next week. Slowly introduce it. I think Farex say to start with one teaspoon.
Trina - a new horse woohooo you will have to upload some pics
Prama - that is soo hard for you being without Steve, but just keep counting down the days. Miss seeing you and Poopy at Ness' class and especially the coffee afterwards. I am seriously addicted to coffee, more so now that I have given up breastfeeding kehehee How are things going?
SJ - it is soooo exciting to get them measured and weighed, I am always wondering how much DJ has grown as well. Have fun on Thursday.
Danni - don't worry re: tummy time, DJ is still grizzly when on tummy but is doing much better with it. He just hates being on his tummy for any longer than 5 mins. It will come in time for Jazz All babies are different.
I know I have probably missed a few posts, so apologies....
shell - 12km!! wow! thats fantastic! you'll be all geared up for City to Surf. I'm going to miss it again this year, last year i didnt go cos i was in my first trimester and dr. wardena said i might get too hot etc. over 14km so advised against it. but i went to help out at our Camp Qualilty tent.
i miss our coffee too.. another 7 weeks to go! i hope ness will still have our classes when i come back.
skye - does jesse ahve teeth already?
poopy sometimes looks at us eating, yest he made chewing actions, will see how he goes before we start him on solids. lucky im flying home at night so wont worry about solids, will give him his milk.
have to go give poopy a bath.
oh, poopy has had urate crystals in his nappy, once today and once last week. does anyone know if this is ok at this age. i know they do it when tehy are newborn. he's still having hsi milk so he has fluids, so im a bit worried that he might be dehydrated. he is procuding enough nappies. i dont notice them on his BBH cos the liners i use are dark. ive only seen them on his disposables.
Prama - I noticed the crystals in Jaz's nappies when I used Huggies. I changed to V.I.P.s & haven't had them since. They are made by the same people. Can't get them here though.
I think it might be something they put in disposibles so they stay dry?? Not too sure though.
Jesse doesn't have teeth yet, but they are moving around in there. He gums everything. He was a bit irritable a few days ago too, with one red cheek. But he's ok for now.
Prama - yeah she will have classes still I am sure mind you I will almost be back at work by then. I start back on Tues 2 Sept. Going to work Tues, Thurs and Fridays. I wanted Mondays off for a long weekend and Wednesday is mothers group. Just means I will have to miss Ness' classes but there is a gym at my work so can workout there..... As for the walk, yeah it was a big one yesterday and I did C2S last year, just walked it though and took it easy. It was hard work especially pregnant. THis time we will be taking DJ in the pram and taking turns pushing him along kehehee
Can't wait to have you back for our coffee catch-ups. Take care of yourself and big hugs to Poopy.
I had my first full on formula nappy today...YUCK! It was smelly and army green. I messaged my mum to ask her if that was normal. She said it definately is.
Mum bought a few romper suits for Jazz today. She's getting too big for 000 wondersuits so mum bought 00 which are slightly too big but just about fit.
kehehee
