Babies Born March 1st-15th 2008 #6

Hey girls,

Well i was a bad mumma today I left DJ's dummy at home so he didn't have it at childcare and was really unsettled arghhhh I didn't even think to just go and buy one and drop it back to them.... Ended up leaving work early and picking him up at 3pm which was ok, he came home and slept and fed :) much happier. The carers were really nice about it, but i felt bad, typical motherhood guilt I suppose.... Good excuse to leave work early though ;)

BUT the best news is that DJ is now sitting up all by himself I am so proud :) and it is so much easier now that he sits up by himself.

Re: water - I wish DJ would drink water - he just spits it out and looks at me as if to say you think I am stupid haha

Re: first words - wow, I wasn't sure if some of the things I heard were first words or not. I wasn't sure if they could actually say anything at this age, goes to show how much I have read...... DJ has said 'Hi' back to Doni when he has said it....we both were almost in tears and wondered if we heard right.... so obviously we did. Ok, now just train him to say mummy and then I am set ;)

re: solids - DJ is now fighting back from eating his lunch meal, when he was eating it last week. Has anyone else found that? For breakfast I am giving him rice cereal or yoghurt which he abo****ely loves, and for lunch is normally a vege puree and dinner is normally a fruit puree or something. All depends on the day.... Just wanted to know how you are all going with solids.

Now personals.....

SJ - sounds like you are having a great time :) and congrats on MJ's first words :)

Skye - sounds like a great trip to the beach and DJ is an expert on fighting sleep also, he wriggles around and then I walk back in and find him right up the top of the cot with no blanket on or he just lays in his cot giggling and cooing then falls to sleep.

Danni - how was the trip to the beach?

Prama - wow so many changes for him, he is growing so quick. Looks like you will see him crawling in no time, since he is really trying to do it more :) wooohoooo

Trina - hope the girls get better soon. So many things going around. Since I have been back at work, I am continually getting sick grrrr damn aircon I blame!!

Well I better go.

I think Jazz was completely worn out from her beach trip with my friend. She was asleep at 6:30 when I got home tonight and is still asleep (but I think she's waking up)

Go MJ on the toilet training. I spend 6 months of my year toilet trianing at work *L* a few of thr younger babies are trying this mehod which has proven succesfful for those really committed. YOu know during the war particulalry in the country areas with little water babies were always trained this young becasue mums coudl not wash nappies or they were in low supply hope it goes well. Makes you think about the 3rd of the worlds population who odnt use nappies at all huh and they have been doing it for a loooooooooooooong time

Shell Will has 3 solid feeds a day and has dropped a bottle feed. He doesnt have puree as such I just mash stuff. If have tried allt he high alergen food and he is fine and enjoys the variety. He hates any sort of tinned food so try to make a variety of stuff a thome. He has weetbix and fruit or youghurt for breakfast and water. for lunch he wil have any sort of the combos i have made including pastas and tomatoes, chicekn and gravy with potatoe and spinach, he has carrot, sweet potatoe, pumpkin ,zuchini, scrambeled eggs quiche, spag bol, roast dinners, tuna and rice cheese, avocado, sweetcorn, bread,brocoli, custard, strawberries, kiwifuits, bannana ( now) pears, apricots, peaches, prunes( just a litte in with other fruit)and we let him try just about anything we are eating now I know he isnt allergic. He has water with everymeal and I Offer it during the day especialy if we have been out and about as he gets really thirsty. He doesnt really like puree at all he would rather chew on something which makes life a little easier and he could demolish a punnet of strawberries i fyou let him *L*

yay on sitting up dj way to go you clever boy!! i would be excited tooo
Not a bad mumm a busy multi tasking mumma. I have an extra in my handbag and 2 in the nappy bag for just in case becasue its always when you want want huh *L*

Trina yay on the horse riding lesson and your weight loss you sound determined..you go girl!!

SJ hahahahaha keep hearing that poo song in my head

At work fairly busy. Had a horse riding lesson yesterday and it was awesome woody was such a good boy so hopefully we will be competing at a dressage day soon. Started a strict eating plan this week and have beeen working out super hard and i have lost at least 4 kg's so pretty happy about that and that is with AF arriving so may be more. Can't be single and frumpy hehe god not that i want a man just want to look and feel good.

My work puder is crap back later to do personals.

I think my man's teething. Second time this week his had a red cheek & been grumpy. Maybe he'll finally cut one soon. Poor bubba. He was rubbing & pulling at his ear before too. & chewing on his dummy.
Biting my hands everytime he gets hold.

Trina - how do you go BFing with teeth. I'm kinda scared. He often squeezes his gums on me if he goes to sleep, or is not quite finished, or simply doesn't wanna let go.
I'm scared he will bite my nipple off!

I think Jazz has cut her 2nd tooth. Re words, I have been thinking about it and I'm not sure but I think Jazz may have said "yeah" a few times, like we'll say something and then she'll respond with something that sounds like "yeah" as an answer to a question. She was so excited when I dropped her off at mum & dad's. Mum is so excited about having her until dinner time tomorrow and had heaps planned. We are watching the grand final and then hopefully we'll be able to go out and celebrate with a few drinks tonight (GO HAWKS).

Just thought I'd share. The first is waay long (both the girls labours).

Teeth and bfing sometimes DON'T go together. As much as it killed me i had to tap her on the hand a few times cos she has bitten me a few times, i had to say no loudly and lightly smack her hand cos they are like razors. My mum had her nipple half bitten off by my bro she had to have it sewn back on OUCH!! Even when she latches on sometimes they brush against me and it really really really hurts.

I am sick of being on a sh*t house rollercoaster life is weird, busy, crazy. One minute great next minute SH*T....

Mum sold her house today so 6 weeks then she is off to QLD so i will most likely have to quit my job. She isn't concerned at all about me not that she has to but i am in the midst of a life crisis and she is pi$$ing off to another state. Was missing ex until yesterday, he picked the kids up and i am pretty sure he was drunk. I am no longer the "fun" parent, they love going with him cos they can do whatever they want and when with me they have chores etc. so not missing him any more Anyway sorry to babble crap......

My god i need a wine .......

And with all this Summy is going 100 miles per hour and into everything and is staring to pull herself up on things i need to put the cot mattress down cos i caught her in there standing up... She was in the kitchen before trying to eat cat food then went over to the oven ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! she is into everything i found her chewing on the vacuum cleaner cord (wasnt plugged in luckily) can't leave her for 1 second.

Bugger! I really hope his teeth stay away for a bit longer!Your poor mum with her nipple!! OUCH!!!

I wish I was there Trina. You'll have to bring the girls to Scotts when I get there! If I don't beat you to your place.
:hug:

So glad I stopped BF before teething started! I hope she's being good at Grumpy & Gran's house. Haven't had any phone calls so that's gotta be a good thing. My plans for tonight were runined by DH who declared tonight that he didn't want to go out and hates going out. Why did he have to wait until we were on our way out to mention that? I've been going on and on about tonight since last weekend. He got all depressed and upset when we went to go to a pool lounge and they refused entry coz he was wearing a hat - he didn't want to take it off coz his hair was really shocking.

boo :-P

sorry havent posted all weekend, been flat out.

shell - dont fell like a bad mumma, these things happen and as steve always tells me when i feel guilty for small things, 'if that's the worse thing that happens to poopy, he'll be all right'
my friend when her daughter was little left her dummy at home when htey went away on holidays, and didnt get one and she actually weaned off her dummy.

mj - woo hoo on potty training! i got poopy one but havent started yet.

trina - sorry things are rough...
XH brought this upon himself, i guess, he must have been taking you and the all that you do for the kids for granted. but the girls will know that you've always been there for them, sacrificing so much..... do you have friends that can help out or offer a shoulder to cry on?

geez! im petrified of teeth now!!! his sucks are getting stronger and that hurts, and he also chews on them..

bron - will is one happy bubba!! it's great that he's eating all sorts of foods.
im still holding off poopy from foods with little seeds, the paed said it can cause his eczema to get worse. :( tho i did give him zucchini. so no tomatoes, strawberries, kiwi fruit etc..
re- eggs, he will have to wait till a year old..

skye - do you know when you will move?

sorry i was going to write to more to everyone.. im just zonked.
we had a malaysian/singaporean society dinner in the city on fri nite and didnt get home till almost midnight. we had to take poopy w us. i was very surprised, he was very very well behaved and didnt fuss at all. probably cos everyone was fussing over him and there was so much going on.
then had to wake up at 4.30 for meditation class on sat, and that was a long day too.
we got his forward facing car seat installed. he's such a big boy now, he can look forward. he looks so grown up sitting there!
i'll miss having him in the capsule.
went to mil's for dinner and he refused to go to sleep. i think he's getting manipulative and cheeky. he cries and then falls asleep, as soon as imove he wakes up. sometimes he grizzles so much while im holding him, then when i put him over my shoulder to soothe him, he has this mischevious glint and smile that says, im getting my mother to do what i want. he's smiling away..
it's getting terrible.
we went for a swim today so that was nice too..

anyway, off to bed. cooking up the last of his meals for thenext few days....

Hi all.

No idea when we are moving. There are no houses at all to rent atm in Scotts Head. Plenty in Nambucca Heads, but I want Jaz to go to school with all her friends & they are in Scotts.
I would drive back & forth, but I don't think we'll be able to afford it. & being public schools they are zoned, so going from a bigger town/school to a smaller one it probably wouldn't be allowed.
I'm trying to convince Anth to let me go stay with mum til I find a house so we can get Jaz started there. Anth reckons we should wait til christmas hols. I have been thinking about it, but I dunno if I can stay here that long. I didn't have the best of days today & its only the start of the holidays.
I just want my mum!

I turned Jesse's car seat a few weeks ago. We went for a drive in MILs car & I just put it in forwards coz it was quicker & just decided to keep it that way when it went back into our car. I really miss him backwards though...he seems too grown up!

Jesse's getting manipulative too! I was cooking tea & he was quite happily playing til I walked into the lounge room. The second he saw me he started winging! I walked out, he stopped!
Oh well...He's my baby. I can't help but to give in to his every demand!

:grouphug: Hope every one had a good weekend.

Yep, Jazz has definately got her 2nd tooth. I can't belive it! 2 in one week but mum said that is normal. Jazz & my parents had a great time this weekend. Mum said she was a little angel. She got up at 1am and 6am and then 8am. They took her to church and then mum took her shopping and said the whole time they were grocery shopping Jazz was inspecting her dummy and growling and making other happy noises. She's out like a light now.

Prama my mum god bless her painstaikingly seperate a whole carton of eggs and made an egg yolk custard which is ok ffrom 6 months on. I guess though if poopy has excma and stuff is much better to avoid anything that will flare it up including possible allergies such as with the strawberries. Guess we have been lucky so far.

danni yay on jazz's 2nd tooth well done!!
now we have to wait for jesses tooth too :-)

Time for bed night night all xx

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...0&ppuser=10556

Just added a couple of new pics! :cool:

Great pics skye! He sits so well! I'm so looking forward to Jazz sitting completely by herself, she's almost there. She gets really annoyed with laying down all the time now but if we aren't there to catch her while she's sitting she falls head first all the time.

bron - re egg yolk, all the literature i've read and been told, they've asked to introduce yolks at 9mths..
mil showed me an article the other day that says that now researches are saying you can introduce solids at 4mths! these things go full circle.
i have been adding tiny bits of pepper, nutmeg into poopy's food. once he's 8 mths, i might add tiny bit of paprika and see how it goes. i add onion and garlic, but havent done ginger yet.

skye - your babies are gorgeous angels!!

danni - wow 2 teeth..

poopy seems more settled, no more restlessness that i thot was due to teething. mil said steve didnt get his tooth till he was 13mths! anyway, the later he gets his tooth, the longer i can bf..

i think im going to crawl into bed and watch tv there..
this movie Fido looks funny...

Skye, awesome pics, the girls are really cute :)
Bron - how good is your mum!!! TBH i have given whole egg to MJ, but it is totally cooked... she seems to be fine with it. I have heard loads of conjecture as to whether foods should be help off until what ever is the recommended age, its hard to know what to do!
Danni - two teeth wow!
Shell - your a great mummy, forgetting a dummy - in the scheme of things, who cares... you didnt forget about DJ, that would be terrible, do be so hard on yourself, you are back at work and being a mum, you are bound to forget things now and then, I do and i only work one day!
Trina - sorry things are hard. The girls are going to think that the sun shins out of exDH butt as they dont get to see him that often and when he does see them he can give them his undivieded attention, so it will be fun... But your girls will soon figure out which side their bread is buttered, especially if he is turning up drunk (the nasty side of me hopes that its because he realised what he has let go and feels so bad about it - sorry thats horrid, but man, he is a fool!!!)
Have you started the process of CS? hopefully if you do have to give up work, the money that XDH will have to give you will make up for it, that and the increased amount from centrelink :crossfingers:
Sorry that your Mum is moving away - what a cr@ppy time.

MJ is up on all fours, rocking and taking what i can only discibe as bunny hops!!! She is not going too far yet, but it will not be long.
She has also figured how to safely get from sitting (she has been sitting alone and unsuppoted for aboyt 3-4 weeks now) to lying. Sometimes she will go down to quickly, but wow she has changed soooo much this last month...

Happy 7 months Summer - i cant believe it has been SEVEN whole months... how our lives have changed

Mj is teething pretty bad too - the necklace that we got was obvioulsy helping as she had it off yesterday afternoon and night. I didnt click, but DH said, why do you think that she is sooo niggeley, After being up with her for nearly 2 hours over night we put the two together... the necklace is back on now and she has been a lot more settled so i guess that it is helping to a point, i fuigure like everythiing, its not going to take al the pain away, but if it helps a bit its worth it.
Prama did you get some things for poopy?
The dinner sounded great, so good that you had a well behaved bubba for the night, it makes it so much more enjoyable.... how are you feeling this week?

Sorry for the novel, Have a great night everyone :)

sj - wow mj is doing so much!!! poopy's nowhere near sitting on his own.
he's trying to, he lies on his side like he's a sexy lingerie model hahahah, then sometimes lifts his bum and pushes his legs back. and sometimes tries to angle his bum like he wants to sit.

thanks, i was amazed and surprised that he was so well-behaved.usually when he's tired and sleepy he just cracks it.

yeah, these food things, one time you hear one thing and then another. has anyone given shellfish etc?

thanks sj - ive had a crappy week on and off. i finally got some anti-depressants, i didnt want to but then i had a chat w my gp.. we're just going to try and see how it goes...

We are having a bad night. I'm pretty sure its teething, constipation & being way over tired all in one.
Jesse's probably only slept 2 hours all day & is laying here now on the boob just grizzling & stretching & just doesn't wanna settle. He's so tired. I haven't been able to put him down all day. As soon as I do he starts screaming.
Poor bubba.

prama - I've given Jesse prawns.

Sorry guys. Can't write more. He's just dozed off. Another 10 minutes & I might be able to put him down.

BTW - Shell, was it you who had the constipation with teething? What did you do?

Yeah, I can't believe 2 teeth in the space of 1 week! It's like the day before the tooth cuts she's a bit out of sorts, then the day it cuts she's very grumpy, then the next day everthing is normal again. I wonder if there will be a break before the 3rd tooth comes.

Prama I hope the anti d's give you some balance. it is a big decision to go on them but in a few weeks when all things seem easier to handle you will be happy you did. They are not like the old days of additive stuff and making you feel like a zombie.
yay on the spices I add a little cinnamon to the apples and pepper to other foods also chicken stock when I do the veges ( low salt or make my own) I;d like for WIll to have a good vaired palate as he grows up I love all sorts of food so hope he gets to taste them all through child hood.
*LMAO*@ the lingere model thats classic

SJ I have given Will full egg now too in quiche. I have sort tried him on pretty well everything though not the baked beans yet my boy is smelly enough as it is *L*

Skye hope jesse gets through the teething soon and you get some sleep. YOur kids are gorgeous those smiley girls butter wouldnt melt in their mouths huh. I wish WIll coudl sit like Jess he is starting to crawl forward but when he sits he gets frustrated that he cant move around quick enough *L

Danni wow on the 2 teeth sounds like Jazz handles it really well halfyour luck

*waves hello to shell* hope you and dj are well
Ok am off to do the rest of the ironing blahhhhhh
Have great day girls
Bron xx

Hi all.
I am sooooooo tired! Jesse went into his cot & slept til about 1.30. (Better than I thought) I brought him into our bed when he woke & he slept well for about an hour, then spent the rest of the night grizzling.
He was awake crying like he had a pain in the belly between about 4 & 6, then woke up every 20 - 30 minutes grizzling, so I gave him the boob & he went to sleep after about 5 minutes.
Went on like that all morning. I made myself get up at 10 (the girls have been up since 8), but Jesse only woke up about 20 minutes ago at 11am!
Poor baby really needed the extra sleep. I've got a massive headache coz I'm so tired.

Off to have a shower & wake myself up before we go down the street for lunch. (Stopping at the corner shop for panadol on the way!!)

Oh, BTW - After all that there are no teeth yet!

oh skye - that's so tiring.. that's awful. hopefully the panadol will help him sleep a bit, and then hopefully you can get some rest too.
:hug: you poor darling. poor bubbas they seem so in pain and tooth doesnt appear for ages.. it's not fair.

bron - thanks hun.. it is a big decision but i thought in the end to stop thinking abt myself, that i would feel like a failure etc, and do it for steve and poopy.
i cant wait for him to start on curry! LOL.
that's one of the things i asked the day care, they do all different types of food, chinese, indian, greek, italian, aussie.. i want him to get a taste of different stuff there too. and the day care has a good mix of kids and staff from different ethnic backgrounds.

ive been meaning to put the washing away, and it's been days! LOL.

bron still no news about the meds? :(

OMG this has never happened before!!
I just gave poopy his lunch, he was hungry and had a bit more than usual. And I put him on the floor to play before i gave him his milk and i was typing the last post.
he was playing and then i saw him lying on his tummy grizzling a bit. as i sent off the post, he was asleep!!!
OMG! I wish i could just put him down and he'd sleep on his own. sorry it's a big shock as often he fights his sleep. I picked him up and put him in his cot and he fell asleep again without a fuss.
Can I have this not all day but most of the day??!!!!
:rolleyes:

Danni wow on the 2 teeth sounds like Jazz handles it really well halfyour luck

---

Touch wood! I hope she keeps being like that! She's really entertaining herself quite well now and is totally facinated by her hands and feet. She can't get her feet in her mouth yet but is getting more flexible with grabbing them. In my body balance class we do a pose called "happy baby pose" where we lay on our backs and have our legs bent wide at the knees and hold the soles of the feet just like a baby does. Whenever I do it, I always think of Jazz!

OMG! I know how sad this sounds, but, JESSE DID A POO!!!
Here I was stressing the last 3 - 4 days coz he hasn't done one & he finally did!
Ok sorry. Feeling better now.

I took the kids for a walk down the street for lunch & had a bit of a look around. Wasn't too bad. I'm a bit sore, but I think the panadol on the way down helped me a bit.

Prama - hope the ADs help you. I'm still tossing up getting them myself. I was told I'd have to stop BFing to take them, but there are a few girls on here who are bfing & taking them, so I'm thinking about it.

Yay poopy now you have to remember todo that everyday little man!!

Stil no word from SYdney prama :-(( heamo very frustrated atm so they have applied up here for it and one of the girls who works there asked me the other day when I was going up for treatment as my name was on the list and the paper work was there for the drugs so hopefully this means I can have it up here and bathurst will pay for it. They are talking about doing another bone marrow biopsy atm to test for marrow function things are really all over the place with my FBC'c so they want to test for some other things..fun fun.

Was trying to catch up on posts but Summy just woke up so short one....

Summer is pulling herself up on everything now so i can't leave her plus she is into everything found her splashing in the dog water earlier and of course she had just had a bath.

Back later

Summer has a chest infection and is on ab's poor little thing has had a cough for 2 weeks hopefully she will start getting better soon. Also took Paige to Dr cos she has these weird little lumps that look like warts and one has gotten really big, scaley, swollen and sore all around, it is all infected and cos it's right above the gland in her groin the whole area including her leg is sore so she is on ab's too.

Paige's Birthday today she is big 7 year old now, so we've been busy shopping and having fun today.

Hope you are all well sorry for lack of personals AGAIN

trina - big hugs to you, you've got so much going on...
hope the girls get better, it must be full on with school hols...

dont worry about doing personals, you always do great ones, and it's so busy at the mo for you.

sorry but it's funny that summy got into the dog's water... they always do that dont they, once they are clean. poopy always does a poo as soon as i put a clean one on or as soon i put them in the wash

Hi girls,

Sorry I have been so slack been so busy at work.

DJ is good :) He had such a great time in childcare today, they even did some painting - mind you his piece was a few blobs on the page but I was still so very proud kehehe They are going to do more stuff like that, exploring their sensory/creative side. I am now thinking of buying some paints for him and I to do when I have my days off work. He had such a great day. I picked him up with a face full of smiles and laughing. He is rolling over heaps now, and sits up really well, hardly tumbles over much. Not crawling yet, still commando crawling which is so cute. We still haven't baby proofed the house yet eeek will do when I get paid. Speaking of which I have only been back at work for a month and I am getting a pay increase already. It is a given at my work that you get a 4% increase at this time of year, so it will come in handy :)

I will respond to you all with some personals tomorrow on my day off. I have mothers group tomorrow so will do some personals after that ;)

Hope you are all well.

Shell xxx

Summy is pulling herself up on everything now. She is a little terror, she will be running around before i know it. She gets into the cat bowl the dvd player and loves the bathroom i have to make sure the front and back doors are closed as she heads for them now and can get outside even found her on top of the cat LOL lucky he is pretty chilled.

Off to the gym soon better go get ready.

Anyone ready to go for another bub yet? :o

The girls are going camping for a few days with X I have told them to stick together and got credit for Codie's phone and she has to keep it on at all times He is good most of the time but it only takes one second for something to go wrong im a bit nervous about it.

forgot what else i was going to say hmmmm

Morning,
Trina, i hope that Summer feels better soon, poor little thing.
MJ is pullng herself up on things too, she did it last week and i didnt take much notice as i thought it was just a one off, but yesterday she tummy crawled over to the coffee talble at MG and pulled herself up, she is not up high yet, but she is able to get up enought for it to really hurt if she looses her grip. Poor bubba screamed when she hit her head - i guess thats the frst of many!

Bron , i am crossing everything for you :)
Shell, glad that DJ is doing so well in DC, must make it easier for you.
Prama - glad you have made a decision about the A/D's, hopefully the cloud will start to lift for you :)

Trina, i guess that is the hardest part of a break up, giving the kids over, i think had you been together you would have worried less about a camping trip, but now you will be sooo much more protective of the girls. I am sure that everything will be fine, but it doesnt make it easier for you at all Enjoy the peace fro a few days

Oh and about the next one, we are talking about it :shhh: and practicing but not actually trying yet iykwim... will let you all know thou

Hi guys.

Well I am starting to plan the move. Anth is moving in with a mate here when harvest starts in about 4 - 6 weeks & thats when I'm heading to mums. Mum & dad are clearing their garage for our stuff & my sister is going to stay with our grandma so there are 2 rooms for me & the kids. Just need to find the cheapest way to get all our stuff up there in one go. Trying to think of anyone we know who has their own truck we can use.
ATM I'm saying around the 8th November. Anth's going to find out a date today hopefully. He has to wait for someone else to move out first.
I'm so excited! Friends of ours moved up to Brissy 12 months ago & will be moving back around the same time as me.

Trina - Your girls will be ok. Do you know where they are going? As long as there is phone service. Do the 2 little ones know how to use it JIC?
NOOOOO plans for another baby. I still havent gone to get my depo needle again yet though! NOT SMART. I got the first one when he was 2 days old & haven't had one since, so I've been out for 4 months. I'll try to do that this week. Just glad Jesse's BFing every few hours still. No AF yet, but I better get that needle soon!
(Not too much practicing going on here though)

Ooh - Happy birthday Paige!!:birthday2: for yesterday.

I better get started on this house. The owners are bringing someone through for a look to buy tomorrow. I think the only 2 rooms ATM that are clean are my room & the laundry. (Normally the 2 that aren't clean!)

Wow SJ already thinking about another one! We aren't planning to start trying for number 2 until Jazz is 2 or 3!

I don't think Jazz is herself (again). This morning I changed 3 very dirty nappies before 7am (one when she first got up at 6am, then one about 15mins later, then another one about 10mins after that). Also, she refused to eat anything at daycare yesterday and when I last spoke to Matt this morning she took the first mouthfull and swallowed it and then realised it was food and closed her mouth when he offered her another spoon. I'm not sure if it's anything to worry about or not. She's still taking her bottles fine.

She's sitting up in the bath now (with a bath seat). She's had a few baths like that and yesterday was the first time she didn't get upset - she used to be in a reclining seat and loved that. I was dripping water from the top of her head down her face and she was sticking her tongue in and out like a lizard tring to catch the drops, it was very cute. She even had the tongue "cupped" so the water would pool inside the tongue rather than just rolling off. Very smart!

I can't believe she's going to be 7 months next week.

Poopy's sick :(
he was so restless last night.. i woke up at 2, hearing him grizzle... he had crawled in his sleep to the top of the cot and couldnt move. when i moved him back down, he was sniffly.. and he was so restless and couldnt settle. steve and i took turns trying to settle him. gave him some panadol and finally he fell asleep at 4.30, and then woke up 6.30 w a really bad runny nose.
poor bubba. just gave him some panadol and he's having a nap..

danni - oh no.. poor jazz.. maybe the bug still hasnt gone away?

skye - that's great news that you're moving close to your parents!! will anth move later, will he find a job there?

sj - #2!! holy crap, haahahah.. i need to get some sleep first before we can even think abt the next one. we'll prob start trying again once poopy's almost 2.

trina - yeah, hope the other girls will use the mobile to ring you too, JIC.

shell - well done, dj.. poopy hasnt shown any sign of sitting up on his own. im sure he will in due time..

Hi girls,

DJ is having a sleep so thought I would post some personals :) I had such a good day with him today. Took him to mothers group and he was an angel and then we came home and played with his toys, and I didn't want to stop cuddling him all afternoon. He is soooo cuddly :)

Prama - oh no poor thing, is he feeling any better? DJ gets a runny nose as well, but it comes and goes. It doesn't seem to bother him though, just early morning when he is a bit sniffly. Hope Poopy feels better. Loved your status on facebook, that is sooooo sweet :) And yeah DJ has the sitting down pact, now just has to get the crawling thing right, he is almost there, tries to do it. I put him on his tummy and he just rolls back over onto his side.

SJ - number 2, no way not for me, at least for another 3-4 years anyway. I am just not ready for another yet. That is great news that you are trying again. Some of the the girls in my mothers group have started trying for a second bub as well.

Trina - wow on Summer pulling herself up onto everything, that is exciting. haha on the cat, yeah our dogs love DJ as well, he hugs them and they just lick him kehehee

Danni - hope Jazz feels better :( poor little darling. DJ sits up in the bath as well, I just hold his back though - too scared of him slipping. I don't put much water in the bath though, just enough so his legs are under. Sounds like Jazz is a real water baby :)

Skye - wow that won't be long before the big move, I bet you can't wait and something good to look forward to as well.

Bron - hope all goes well - is everything ok? Sorry to sound vague, I couldn't go too far back on the posts....

Hope everyone else is well, take care.
