Just a quick post before I have an early night. Lucy got me up about three times last night to feed. She has two bottom teeth right there below the gum line and boy does she chomp down hard if you offer her a finger! So I'm guessing they'll be through very soon. She has also figured how to sit herself up from any position now and is rocking on all fours. I'm hoping she might start crawling while my Mum is here for her christening this weekend.
Em - Lucy 'gums' me with her big open mouth kisses as well and it's too cute! As for food, well, after a slow start Lucy will eat just about anything I give her (although she has to be hungry first). She has toast fingers with avocado or vegemite at breakfast, usually a fruit mush at lunch and then vegetables, sometimes with meat, late afternoon for dinner. She's still having 5-6 breastfeeds a day as well. I've given her pieces of steak to chew on and she's definitely not vegetarian, she loves them! She's also tasted a fair few foods that I've had and had half an arrowroot biscuit today. If I eat in front of her now she wants to try what I have, so it's probably improving my eating habits too. She likes yoghurt best of everything, she would swallow the spoon if you didn't refill it fast enough. She has yoghurt for lunch now when I leave her to go to work on Tues and Thurs.
As for another bub... refer to my ticker - I need a chance to recover! I think you ladies are very brave, especially the other Jen who's already cooking no 2!
Kas - how did you go back at work? I am doing two four-hour stints in the city for Tues and Thurs and an extra ten hours or so for clients at home. It's seriously curtailing any social life I had!
Must go, I am so tired I need to go to bed early. DP is working late so I'm better organised for sleepy-byes!
