I hope that all the parties have or will go off without too many dramas.
Cass sorry to hear about your family all ditching, it seems like some people don't think 1st birthdays are too important!
Kailee's party went great, I was up till 3am the night before stressing that I wasn't ready and come party start time of 1pm I was organised and got to sit and enjoy. My biggest stress was the cake fell apart in the tin, so a last minute repair job and it kind of looked alright!

Thanks all! Izzy had a wonderful day! Although she was so buggered~

She's such a clever little girl.

Hi All,

Just popping in to Wish happy birthday to all the March bubs.

You probably dont know me, but my dd is turning 1 on April 1st. I just wanted to see how you all went with the 12 month needles. Dont know why but am a little more worried about these ones...probably coz she understands more.

Cheers

Melissa

Hi Melissa! We havent had our 12 month needles... will post again on the results!

Shell, woohoo go Emily!! Claires just started walking too. Its so cute to watch!

Well I have been working this week and last week - just three days a week - and its going alright so far. The workplace is a million times more disorganised than it was before I went on maternity leave. Simple things like not ordering our letterhead paper when we asked for it, so now we cant print out anything (as EVERYTHING needs to go on letterhead - some stupid legal requirement.) But its ok - better than I thought it would be. I do miss Claire during the day, but I am pretty sure she enjoys going to day care. The family day care mum tells me that Claire loves walking all over the place and spends half the day playing on the stairs. I am going to print out some photos of Claire and put them up on my desk.

Anyone elses bubs obssessed with Stairs? As soon as Claire sees any stairs, she just wants to go up and down them. She could play on stairs for an hour or more if I let her.

Also - Food. What foods are your bubs eating? How much food? I'm getting hassled by the ECHN because of Claires weight (7.4kg) and she keeps on telling me she shuold be bigger/heavier and eating more at her age. So, what sorts of things are you babys eating?

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of the babies that have already celebrated their big day! Actually, on second thoughts - they're toddlers now aren't they? What a scary thought!

Sorry that I have been so slack with coming and giving my birthday wishes, but we have been very busy with trying to get the buying of our house organised. SO much paperwork to read and fill out and get witnessed and returned....don't want to do this again for a LONG time!!

We move into our house in 2 weeks from today, so I am also trying to start packing up all of our stuff, but I keep procrastinating when Emy is asleep, and it is impossible when she is awake - we packed up half of her bookcase this morning, and as soon as we put 3-4 books in the box, she would be taking one back out again and running away with it. She is such a funny little monkey!

Anyway, so then we are going to have Emy's birthday on the 12th April in our new house, and have it as a kind of mixed first birthday / house warming party - but obviously the emphasis will be Emy's birthday!

Karina and Cassie - hows the uni studying going? Are you enjoying it? I hated studying, but LOVE my job, and I'm sure you both will too!

Karina - Emy's typical day is:



Wake up somewhere between 7:30 - 9:00

Breakfast:
- 200ml bottle of formula
- 1/2 kids weetbix made with cow's milk, heated up, and with some pureed fruit on it
- maybe 1/4 - 1/2 piece of toast with plain margarine, vegemite or jam on it

Morning Tea (about 10ish to 11ish):
- varies - could be some fruit, or one of those Heinz Little Kids muesli bars or some of the cookie things, or maybe a little bit of something leftover from something (cake, dessert, stewed fruit, whatever is around) when we are at mum's house
- some water

Sleep: usually about 11:30 for anywhere between 1 hour and 2 1/2 hours

Lunch (after she has woken up, so anywhere between 1pm-ish, and 3pm-ish):
- usually yoghurt, or one piece of bread made into a vegemite and cream cheese sandwich, or some leftovers (depends on what it is), and then maybe followed with more fruit
- more water

Afternoon tea:
- not usually anything too exciting - usually just given to her to get her to be quiet while dinner is being prepared, but could just be a jatz, or a tinned apricot or something - don't want to give her too much so close to dinner!
- mum has given her something from what she is preparing before, just to give her different tastes, so she has also tried gherkins, and cucumber at this time of day!

Dinner (between 5pm and 6pm):
- maybe 1/2 a sausage, or some chicken breast, or a few beef chunks from a casserole, or fish fingers, served with vegies - she LOVES to pick up peas and corn herself from the highchair tray,
- sometimes, if we are having chips ourselves (oven fries) we will give her a couple of them with her dinner as well as her meat and vegies - she LOVES chips!
- or maybe an omelette with peas and corn in it,
- or some tuna pasta,
- or some of my excellent homemade spaghetti,
- or some of my attempts at making vegie patties (usually pretty bad attempts!)
- or when we have gotten home too late to be able to cook anything, some tinned spaghetti, or baked beans, followed by some fruit,
- or whatever it is that mum gives her when she is over there, and I am at work - I think it is usually something from what they are having for dinner, or mum makes up some of her vegie patties for her (hers are soooo much better than mine!), or something else that is usually healthy.
- more water

Dessert:
- I don't usually give her any, but occasionally some custard with a tinned apricot, or maybe I have bought one of the heinz jars of dessert, and will give her some of that, or if we are having a get together at mum's or something, she will get a tiny taste of whatever it is that mum has made for dessert - usually the fruit bit, if it has any, like the top of a pavlova or fruit flan.

Bath time after dinner - it is a very messy process feeding Emy - she gets food everywhere, all over the floor, and her clothes, and her face, and in her hair

Bed:
- about 6:30 - 7:30 (depends on how tired and cranky she is), with a bottle of cow's milk



I have just recently started giving her the cow's milk bottle at bed time, and cutting out the middle of the day bottle of formula, because she was sleeping for so long in the middle of the day, that by the time that she woke up it was 2:30 - 3ish before she would have the middle of the day bottle, and it seemed too much with both lunch and a bottle so close to dinner.

We have also been trying to get her to drink a bit more water, which she wasn't having much of when she had the middle of the day bottle.

I asked the child nurse about it yesterday, and she said that they say that 12 month old babies should be having 600mls of milk a day, but when I said that I was trying to get her to drink a bit more water, she said that it should be ok as she is still getting the fluids, and eats yoghurt etc, but to try also giving her some milk during the day in a cup - I tried it today, and Emy just spat it out everywhere... she was the biggest mess!

Anyway, I think that I have really got to go now, and pack up a couple of boxes, or I will have one very cranky husband - it's not my fault that he only has 3 days off before we move! He should still help me!

And, in case it's a while before I get back in here - a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the rest of the gorgeous kids that are still to celebrate!

Hi everyone, sorry it's ages since I posted. Glad to hear the birthday parties went well for those who had them.

Not sure who asked about needles but S had his about a week ago (or was it two weeks ago?!!) and was fine. Did his usual trick of sleeping it off and I checked on him about a million times but he was fine, just tired. MMR was a little tender for a day or two afterwards, and of course he cried when he got them all but he's pretty stoic and doesn't seem to get too upset about pain... so we just had lots of cuddles and reading and playing together for the rest of the day and the next day. Thank goodness they're over for a while.

Weather has cooled down a little here finally. I'm looking forward to autumn so much! Pregnancy going well, although I'm already having trouble fitting into my jeans :( I think I'll have to get a belly belt or something this time around because I don't plan on giving my jeans up this early in the piece! First Birth Centre appt is in about three weeks, and I'm going for the anatomy scan on the 18th April. Still a while away, but I'm looking forward to seeing the baby again!

Anyway, I've spent so much time looking around here and still have some emails to write, so I'd better be off, sorry for not checking in too often, sounds like everyone is busy - ooh, and S is "walking" with help! Getting into the idea of holding onto my hands and walking along, it's great! He just got his first molars, too, can't believe it! What a mouthful of teeth (10 now! )

Have a FANTASTIC easter and don't eat too much and drive safely, if you're going anywhere.

best,
bec

Ok this is a very random post as I don't remember what I read, Kailee had her needles on the 11th and has still got the measles rash from it, which can last a few weeks but other than that once she got over the shock of being jabbed 3 times she was fine.

Food wise, I think Karina, Kailee usually has a weet bix wit hcow's milk for breakfast, followed by a cheese stick and then maybe 1/3 piece of toast with jam, then she will play for a little hwile and then have a bottle and sleep for 2 hours, lunch is usually some cold chicken and asaragus with some plain bread followed by some fruit or a biscuit ( water crackers are awesome) then she will play for an hour or so and then have a bottle and go to bed for 2 hours. then dinner she has about 3/4 a jar of food with natural yoghurt for dessert. a bath and then bottle and bed. I had put her onto cow's milk bottles but she refused to drink it so we had to go back to formula.

thats about all i can remember for now, hope it helps.

Happy Easter!
Richelle - I had the same problem with Emily with the cows milk, i HAD to make formula and just put about 10ml cows milk in the bottle and gradually worked an extra 10mls each time she had a bottle until now she'll have full cows milk, must be a big taste difference!

Karina - Emilys daily food,
7.30am - 1 wheat bix with cows milk and fruit.
9.30 - 10am - 150ml cows milk bottle and then sleeps...
12.30 - 1pm - (most days) cheese sandwich then youghurt. (or baked beans etc, but always yoghurt after lunch)
3.30pm - If BB for lunch, cut up blocks of cheese or fruit or a heinz finger thingy
6-6.30pm - Vegies, and meat OR whatever we have she has
8.30pm 150 - 200ml cows milk bottle.
Water is offered ALL day (tho, she mailny drinks it after lunch) but i leave it on the floor or coffee table where she can get it.
Claires weight is around the same as Emilys, dont worry too much, they can only eat as much as their little bellys can take. I was worried Emily was under weight but even if i wanted to give her more i know she wouldnt/couldnt take it. As long as i know shes getting all the good foods she needs, im fine with it. ;)

Hi...just a quick drop in to say Happy Easter!

Also, Grace hasn't had her needles yet, she had gastro last week so we are waiting until next week to give her needles, just to make sure she is 100% and her little immune system can handle it all.

Karina...Grace has been nicknamed 'seagull' cause she tries to get food of anybody and everybody! A typical day for her is...

7 - 7.30am
Wake up and have bottle - 260ml, still currently finishing of tin of formula but we mix half formula and half cow's milk. Then she plays for an hour. Then has her breakfast.

Breakfast 8 - 8.30am
1 and a half kids weetbix with cow's milk OR 3 tbsp muesli and apple with cow's milk. Sometimes she has fruit with her weetbix if we have any. Then she will usually take some of my breakfast too!

No morning tea as she is usually asleep through that time.

Lunch 12 midday
Sandwhich with cheese and ham/vegemite/cheese and vegemite/baked beans/tinned spaghetti/left over dinner such as vege's/tuna stir through pasta - we mix it up but sandwhich is definitely the fave. She will have a piece of fruit afterwards.

Afternoon tea 3pm
This was her bottle until recently when we were told to drop bottle by MCHN, so now she gets a tup of yoghurt (adult full cream yoghurt - ski)or cheese or fruit.

Dinner 5.30pm
This is usually what we have had for dinner the night before, what we are having for dinner or what i have put in the freezer from other nights. It's either meat and vege, pasta, stirfries..she eats what we eat, the only time we make seperate meals is if we are having something spicy, and then we often make up a tuna mornay (using heinz white sauce packet) or meat and vege with a heinz sauce packet, she loves them

Before bed 6.45pm
Bottle (half and half as before), this varies from 120mls to 260mls depending n how tired she is and what she has eaten in the day.

Bed 7 - 7.30pm

As you can see Grace loves her food! We were out yesterday for Good Friday and she ate all afternoon i think...she ate prawns and chicken, heaps of watermelon and rockmelon, pavlova and chocolate easter egg :o (not a normal day obviously), and she was still trying to get more! Hence the name seagull! lol. She also weighs 10.4kgs and 77cm long (which makes her 75th percentile for both). As long as you are happy, Claire is happy and your MCHN isn't worried then I wouldn't worry, she is just petite!

See you ladies, enjoy the rest of easter.

hello
i haven't really posted in here much, i actually forgot about it, but my dd hollie just had her birthday yesterday, and it got me wondering about development, talking and identifyng objects actually.... i was just wondering what your 12 month is up to?

i have bought lots of cardboard books and we spend alot of time 'reading' them (basically pointing to pictures and saying their name).. at the moment dd can identify probably about 30 different objects in the books by pointing when i say "where's the dog, cat, ball, drum?" etc.... she has also started talking and can say 'teddy, light, fish, cup, dog, duck' although the pronounciation obviously isn't spot on.... she knows lots of objects around the room too, like clock, window, light, couch, tv, tap, kettle, keys, etc etc etc and also parts of her body, like toes, eyes, nose, legs and can point to them when asked...

anyways, i'm just wondering if this is about right for a 12 month old, or whether all my reading and identifying objects etc has made quite an impact on her.... just interested to know what other babies her age are like... i always forget to ask at playgroup as there is so much going on.

happy 1st birthday to all the bubs, where has the year gone?!

Wow Emma! Hollie knows a lot more than Emy does!

We try to sit and look at books with her, but she just tries to steal them off us to eat them! Or she will nab it off us, and run away with it and then sit and look at it on her own, pointing at random things and babbling to herself - but she has only recent starting to do this, more often than not she will just want to eat it, and then throw it away, and go for her toys.

We have been trying to get her to know where her nose is, but it isn't working, and I think she is just starting to know what "teddy" and "ball" are. However, I think she is starting to listen to me when I say "don't eat it" - I swear, absolutely EVERYTHING goes into her mouth, and we are always fishing out grass and rocks and bits of cardboard she has chewed off a book. But sometimes she will appear to listen to me, and bring it over and put it in my hand before it goes near her mouth - something that makes me very happy!

She is only saying a couple of words - 'daddy', 'yay', 'mumumum', and has recently started 'oh no' when she drops or throws something on the floor. Oh, and sometimes it really is like she can't understand me when I ask her something, like "we go and find your water?" and she will go "yeh", and once, my BIL and I both heard her say "no" when I asked her something. Cheeky little monkey!

She did walk very early though (about a week before being 10 months old), so I think maybe she is just more advanced physically at the moment, and will catch up with talking and knowing what individual things are in her own time.

Anyway, she is driving me batty when it is time for her to have a sleep - and it has just been in the last week of so. She can be obviously tired, but stick her in the cot, and she won't want to go to sleep! She just has one daytime nap, usually about 11:30, and I was able to just lie her down, put the dummy in and she would either go to sleep straight away, or play quietly with her cow-rattle-toy thing or her blanket for a little while and babble to herself and go to sleep, and at night I would put her down with a bottle and she would do much the same. And I would be able to put her down for both sleeps, and be able to walk out of the room and close the door behind me, and she would quite happily go to sleep.

But in the last week or so, she has turned feral - I can't put her in the cot without her crying, no matter how tired she is. In the day, she will just stand back up again and cry, and if I have to leave the room (gotta go to the toilet sometimes!) she will scream blue murder until I return, and then I can't just stand there, and calm her down, I have to go over, find the dummy that she has launched from the cot, pop it back in, lie her down, and then lie down on the floor next to her until she is well and truely asleep - and if I move at all (even to have a scratch of something), no matter how close to falling asleep she is, she will jump up and think that it is time to get up again, and will start crying again unless I go through the whole process again. At night time it is much the same, except that she will drink her bottle, letting me leave the room, and then once she has finished that, will stand up and do the whole crying thing again, and I have to go through the whole process that we went through for the day sleep again.

It is soooooo frustrating!!! Once she is asleep, she is fantastic, and will sleep until 7:30 - 9 am, but the whole going to sleep issue is really bugging me! She used to be such a good sleeper in all ways, and I don't know what has happened to make her not want to go to sleep now.

Any ideas?

Sorry for another long post!

funny you should mention it, our sleep has gone out the window this week!!!! she has never been a good sleeper, but for the last few months her night time sleep pretty much goes without a hitch, she goes into bed after her bath and babbles to herself to wind down then eventually falls asleep... this week she has been screaming blue murder, and silly me has been getting her up and laying on the couch with her on top of me (oh but its so nice!!!) and watching a baby einstein dvd.... of course this is lovely and i have longed for the day where she would lay still and cuddle me while we watched a dvd (has been a livewire since day dot not wanting to sit still) - but to be stuck doing this every night before bedtime????? no thanks. so tonight im going to be mean mummy and bedtime will mean bedtime, no getting up again. i am working full time in a week so there is no way i will be wanting to be up til all hours with her, i will need some time to myself to make dinner and lunches and clean up and of course go to bed early!!

sorry i have been useless to you!! maybe 12 months is some sort of developmental milestone that throws them off a bit??

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone??!?!!! My baby will be one tomorrow! I'm finding it so hard to get my head around that, I can't believe it's here already!

Karina, Oskar is a little piglet!
Wake up and have BF... both sides these days.
Brekky is 1 1/2 weetbix with fruit mixed in.
Snack mid morning if awake - just a biscuit or something like that.
Lunch, depends on if we're at home. Sandwich and some fruit. Or just fruit. Tuna, fruit and sultanas (not all mixed together...lol).
Arvo snack of whatever I get out of the cupboard..lol
Dinner, now he's a real piggy here, ... 1 cup of veg. Then he eats some of my dinner about an hour later - can be as much as another 1/4 cup of food...bath... then usually a yoghurt, play, BF then bed.

Anyway, I have done the canvas thing I was talking about for Oskar's party. I have pics from the day he was born and then one for each month. Tomorrow I will take his birthday pic and that will go on it also. It looks really great! I'm impressed with myself, pmsl. Must be off now, better get dinner going.

Oh... and Oskar is not doing nearly anything as much as Hollie! He says ta, dadadadadad, mum if he has to...lol. Car is a favourite lately. He knows what things are, but doesn't say them... if you tell him to cuddle elmo or his puppy he'll go and cuddle them. He loves keys and water bottles oh and puppies are a definite love.

hmmmm from the age of about 7 months i started walking around the house telling her the name of objects, so i think this may have layed the foundation for her learning more, iykwim.

its funny how much they understand really, anytime i say 'come and get your nappy changed' she crawls off in the other direction.

by the way how many milk feeds are they still on? dd has 3 x 150ml bottles.

im hanging out for her to start walking!!

Emma - enjoy the crawling while you can! Emy only crawled for about a month, and then started walking, and now she just wants to run everywhere! We can no longer keep any doors open in the house, coz no sooner do you put her on the floor, and she is off - into whichever room has an open door, and destroying whatever she can get her little hands on! There is a path of destruction behind her too!

Oh, and Emy has 2 x 200ml bottles, (I have just recently, in about the last 2-3 weeks, cut out the middle of the day bottle, coz she wasn't drinking much water) sometimes both formula, or one formula, one cows milk. She has one first thing in the morning, and then one at bed time. I have her water bottle lying around wherever she has dropped it, and that gets re-filled at least once a day. I thought today that maybe some of the problem with the middle of the day sleep is that she wanted some milk, so I tried giving her 100ml of formula, but it didn't work very well...!

Anyway, the last couple of nights, she has been going to bed with cows milk, and has been feral, and so tonight i gave her formula, and she drank it, had a little whinge (not even long enough for me to stand up from the chair), and has fallen asleep! I fully expected her to go feral tonight, but she tricked me!!! I don't know whether it was the formula, or whether it is just because she was really tired, but YAY anyway! She is so funny - I reckon she was really tired coz I walked into her room, and put the bottle on the bookcase while I gave her a kiss and she reached for the side of the cot, and held on tightly, and was trying to put herself into the cot! What a funny little monkey!

Anyway, Cass, your canvas thingy for Oscars birthday sounds really good!!! You will have to post pictures of it for us! Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow Oscar!

Anyway, better go and start getting my dinner ready now, and wake up DH, so he can eat and go to work.

Have Fun!

Thanks for everyone input re the eating thing. I think she is eating enough. After dinner she always has a little pot belly so I suppose she is full,? and every morning she always does a massive poo shortly after waking up. She has days where she'll eat lots, so we'll just put food into her.. other days she'll have two mouthfulls then she's over it.

Haha Cass,how cute. Claire loves Keys and water bottles as well. Her fave is my car key, cos it is one of those ones with the button you press to unlock the car. She likes to chew on it. She also LOVES the fridge. As soon as she hears it open, she'll come into the kitchen and have a stickybeak and stick her head in and try to get things out. Your canvas thingy sounds very cool. Hope his party is splendid.

Ali, we call Claire "the destructobaby" because she walks everywhere and leaves a trail of destruction wherever she goes. Ohh we've had a few of those feral nights too. I have been going into her room and boobying her and laying down with her. We have a sofa in her room for that purpose.

Emma, Hollie sounds like a very clever girl! claire doesnt know the names of that many objects, but she does know things like giraffe (we called it Raffi - its what she cuddles when she sleeps), and bear, blocks and milk.She says dadada, mumumum, bububububub, nananan, yeah and boo. Do you find she is interested in the Baby Einstein dvd? We have one and claire looks for like 10 seconds then she is over it, lol! But Hi 5 - she'll stay glued to the TV for the entire time.

Cant believe its been a while YEAR!!!!! Where on earth did the time go.

Claire is teeething again. She is getting her 5th tooth! Her teeth are so cute at the moment. She has two huge teeth at the bottom and two huge teeth at the top. They are all very sharp. She is currently getting another bottom tooth. The other day she BIT my booby and DREW BLOOD!!!!!! Needless to say, mummy put booby away after that. She hasnt done it since though, so thats good.

Hi all, glad to see all is well.
Short and swift reply as it is so late....

According to ECHN, at 1 babies refuse to sleep etc so this could be the problems you are all having.

Ali, we put Kailee onto cows milk to have her throw her bottles and refuse them completely until we put her back onto formula, I think they just get so used to the taste, I am going to start trying making half cows milk half formula and see if I can wean her onto cows milk.

We have just made it through day 4 of Kailee's hunger strike. She is basically eating nothing more than bread crusts and cheese. At least it is something right? She is sucking her bottles dry so she is still getting some nourishment. I just hope that saying that a child won't starve themselves is true!

Ok Bedtime. Emma, enjoy Hollie not walking as long as you can, it becomes full on once they are off!

Hi Everyone, well my little princess turned one yesterday! Its a happy and sad moment! Now thats shes walking its hard to imagine her as being so little even tho i remember it all perfectly.

She can say, mummy, daddy, menae (sister, Renae) nanny, poppy, puppy, goska, gotcha, turtle, dog, ta, bath, water, chicken, book, no, yep, water, in the car, baby, duck, gone now, ditta (dora), bless you,
thats all i can think of atm. :rolleyes:

Hope everyones well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OSKAR! :dance:

Well, it's the wee hours of the morning of Emy's birthday - she was born at 1:58am, so I have stayed up so that I could sneak into her room and take a photo of her at the time that she was born. I was very good not to wake her up! That flash is mighty bright!

J is on night dute at the moment, so I had to have a little celebration on my own, which was a bit sad - I wish he was here.... oh well, it's his last one of this run, so we are going to have a little get-together in the afternoon with 2 of my sisters, and MIL. Then she is going to have a big party in our new house! It will be so much fun!

Anyway, I have spent my night, while waiting for 2am, looking into MCN. It has been a bit of an information overload!! And I don't really know anyone who uses them. The girl next door uses cloth, but I have only ever seen her boy in the old terry flats, and so I don't think that she would be able to help me much either... oh well - I have to convince J about it anyway! He LOVES the convenience of disposables, but the MCN are just so cute! May not even work for us anyway, coz I usually stay at mums house on monday nights, and sometimes tuesdays as well, and I don't know if that would really work.... will keep pondering it though...

Anyway, sorry for my boring post that is mostly just me thinking......well not out loud, but you should know what i mean......

Suppose I should probably go to bed now - Emy will be awake in about 4 1/2 - 5 hours. Yucko!

Just a really quick question, does anyone have a bub who is lactose intolerant? How do I find out if Kailee is lactose intolerant or maybe allergic to cow's milk? Just the GP or a specialist? So confusing!

Richelle, maybe your ECHN or GP might be able to give you sone info on lactose intolerance?

Ali, happpy birthday to Emy!! MCN are awesome. We use them here and they really are very convenient and save money. Sarah has them too. Theres a whole thread on MCN at https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ies-112-a.html

time for a new thread everyone!

your new thread is here - https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...2007-12-a.html
