Just a quick one...while Cam is happily playing by himself.
We had a lovely day in the park yesterday with mothers group. We all took toys, which bubs shared and Cameron had a blast. He just wandered over to the other bubs and was trying to interact with them and happily shared the toys -though some of the other bubs were a little snatchy, which brought on a couple of tears, oh - but it was good to see them learning to share and interact. This time I remembered his hat...and he made me very proud and kept it on all day . The only stuff up I made was I missed a little spot under his eyes with the suncream , so it was a tiny bit burnt (its gone today though).
And today we had a 1st birthday party in another park. It was good, Cam started eating the fruit I brought (he ate a slice of pear, apple, rockmelon, watermelon), then they passed around other fruit, so gave him a bit of pineapple, which he ate, then they passed around cheese and vegemite sandwiches...which Cam ended up have a little triangle...then the bad stuff...fairy bread. I figured hey, we were at a birthday party...so why not. Well Cam loved it, almost finished the little triangle. About 30mins later they brought out the birthday cake...and I had promised him he could have some. Well they cut a little square for him...so we sat him down on the grass and let him feed himself. No sooner was the plate on the ground, Cam picked up the cake and shoved it in his mouth. He kept on shovelling til it was all around his mouth, with most of it in his mouth. He loved it. Then the birthday girl was placed next to him and they were laughing and sharing cake ...it was soooo cute. Got some great pics...I'll post them when I get a chance. So overall it was a good day...he fell asleep as soon as we left, and was easily transferred to bed when home. He was exhausted...think it'll be an early night for all here, cause so are we.
Oh and Sassy - Woohoo congratulations on Jayda's 1st tooth. I've been wondering whether it had popped up yet. I love sharing exciting milestones on here too.
Bec: cameron sounded like he had heaps of fun at the party.
we had a busy weekend. it was my bro and jacobs (a friend of the family's) birthday yesterday. we went and seen jacob yesterday for his birthday and they had cake and party food and jayda was into all of it. prob naughty but i let her suck on a snake for a bit and she loved it. then she ha some chips and boy did she love them. oh and when the cake come around she took a big handful and was into it had it everywhere but loved it.
then i was feeding her a custard and she cut her finger on the can but she didnt cry for long.
i have had a bad morning this morning so many things have gone wrong.
Sorry, I'm just lurking for a bit. Have had a write-off of a weekend, with 4am wake-ups, constant tantrums and screaming all day today. DS is TEETHING so bad! He just suffers so much and these top teeth are giving us all hell. it will be all over soon. I am starting to dread a 14 hour flight like it's some kind of death sentence... let alone the other long flights we have to make. GP said we could try him on Polaramine to sedate him a bit, but the pharmacist wouldn't sell it to me! Argh!
Sassy - congratulations on Jayda's first tooth! That's great! She sounds like a real party animal Aadi got into some chips at a BBQ we had last weekend, he made such a mess but absolutely loved them!
Bec - your party sounds nice too. I bet the pics of the kids sharing cake are so cute! How good is Cameron, keeping his hat on?! That's quite an achievement!!
Girl - I almost got my Saturday morning to myself, but it's just too hard. DP freaks out if he has to change a nappy, but considering how much Aadi throws himself around on the change table, that's not surprising! I did get a bit of time to do some extra housework that had been bugging me for months, but that's not exactly relaxing. Soon maybe it will be better, but I shouldn't really vent and whinge. Single mums have it so much harder, with no break. I do get the occasional break, even if I have to supervise nappy changes and instruct DP what to do to amuse Aadi.
Abb - How's your little Cyclone Hamish??
OK, hope you all had a nice weekend.
Sassy - Sounds like Jayda also had a good time party'ing too . Won't be long before they are asking when are we going to another party...just to get the junk food they wouldn't usually get The cake Cameron hoffed into also had a red snake on it, but i wasn't sure how Cam would handle it (it was a little chopped up though) - so I snagged that one - but if I hadn't of taken it I wouldn't have gotten any of the cake . Oh and I hope your day improved.
NaNa - Oh, hurry up those teeth hey They seem to be a bit of a real bother for you. I hope they pop up soon then give you some rest while your away. Yeah, I was very proud of Cam wearing his hat all day when we were out both Friday and Saturday. I found the key is to distract them with their hands while you are popping it on and after a while he forgot it was there (until another little kid tried to pull it off ). Next step is the sunnies!
How's everyone else going. Been rather quite in here. Hope you's are all well.
Cam has been rather tired last few days...think he was a little exhausted from the last few days being out and party'ing. This morning I had to wake him at 7am (he usually wakes between 6-6.20am these days), then again after his morning sleep at 11am and again at 4.30pm - both days sleeps were at least 2hrs! But the weather is making it great to sleep anyway. That nasty Cyclone hanging off the coast it making it very windy and rainy. I'm praying it disappears by the weekend...its my best friends wedding.
Oh Cameron did another funny thing this arvo. DH came into Cam's bedroom when I woke him this arvo and was eating a banana. He offered Cam some through the cot...Cam just looked at it like "what is that" (I think he was still waking up). Then half the banana fell off into his cot...he quickly grabbed and shoved it in his mouth. He then kept pushing it in and pretty much devoured the whole lot within a matter of seconds. Little gobble guts.
I think Cam's next tooth is on its way. I could see the little white tooth pushing through his top gum today...so hopefully it breaks though over the next few days.
Question:- Has anyone given there bubs peanuts / peanut butter yet?
I know there is all different rules...some say to wait 12months, others say 2 years and some say that I shouldn't be eating peanuts or peanut butter while BF (I was never aware of this, I ate it all through my pregnancy too...I love it...it ain't toast without it). I think it would be very unlikely Cam would react, but it's still a scary to give it a go.
Hi everyone
Well i have had a busy few days, worked 4 days last week (all weekend also) but it was only a one off, i am happy its over though, sooooo tired. I did 36 hours in 4 days and felt so bad not spending much time with the kids especially hamish, i went to work yesterday morning and he was not even awake yet and got back in time to feed him dinner and bottle but to tired to bath him so dp did for me. I cant believe how lucky i am to have a such a great partner he spent his entire 3 days off with Hamish and dd and wait for it managed to keep the house clean and do the washing.
Bec i haven't given hamish nuts yet but i was thinking of doing a test with peanut butter soon, i think he has had absolutely everything else. It was nice to chat to you the other night, i have managed to take a little photo and put it up, although i hate it. I hope to get the camera repaired soon.
NaNa - lol cyclone hamish, i did find that amusing although i realise it is not that funny to some. We will be in Melbourne this coming weekend, we have Dp's family reunion thing on Sunday and we are staying out at his parents place (greensborough), what part of Melbourne are you in? I will be vising my sister sometime Saturday, she lives in Camberwell.
Sass- sounds like jayda enjoyed the party, wont be long before we are holding our bubs partys.
Girl - Hamish loves hair, he use to run his fingers through my hair, he stared at me for a long time after it was cut but i am getting use to it now and it is alot easier to look after.
Jess - how is everything?
Nikki - where are you? how are things?
Mis Tree - how is stanks?
Sorry i have been MIA for a few weeks i have been sooooo busy with everthing, i have been on here reading just not posting i just seem to run out of time or something hapens and have to run.
Ok while abbie is asleep i thought i would try and get on here and post lets see how i go lol!!!!
Bec i would probably wait with peanuts only because i am paranoid but i suppose if they have not had a reactin to things like chocolate and other things that have traces of nuts in them then they should not really have a problem. Dont think i am a bad mum and feed abbie chocolate but she has had some either because the boys have given it to her or she is screaming at me while i am eating lol!!!!
Abb thats great that hubby is great at home when you are working i too have a great hubby who helps around the house and gets the kids ready in the morning !!!!
Nana i know about he whole medicine they are not allowed to sell it to you if your child is under 3 or something like that even for cough medicine so i just say its for cody he he he naughty i know but i am not going to the stupid doctor everytime i need cough medicine for the younger two.
Sassy sound like jayda had a great day at the party abbie would be the same if there was food around she loves her food!!!!!!! Hope you day got better the other day:-)
