Just a quick one before I have to go wake Cam up - almost 3 hrs now and I think that'll be enough or he won't go down easily tonight. And I'll need to have an early night tonight because I have an early dentist appointment tomorrow and I will not be sleeping too well tonight worrying about it - I chipped one of my back molars at lunch today - doesn't hurt, but the thought of going to the dentist brings tears to my eyes.
Cam's going well. Growing and learning fast. Its amazing how quickly he is learning stuff - only having to watch us do something once then go copy it. The other week I had a flat battery in my car (at home) and as I had my bonnet up waiting for RACQ- he kept pointing to the portable fluro light DH keeps in the garage (to work on the car) and then pointing to the bonnet. I ended up having to attach the light to the bonnet - the clip that is designed for that thing and then Cam was happy, gave me a nod and then looked very pleased with himself. I mentioned it to DH when he got home and he said that Cam had watched DH do that the week before (which I didn't know of) and that explained how he knew what to do....I was amazed. And he keeps doing stuff like that which amazes me. Oh and he is loving cleaning too...which I'm using to my advantage too...lol...picking up stuff off the floor or wiping the floor with the paper towel if he or the dog spills water etc... think I'll keep encouraging this...especially as the floor seems so far away at the moment...hahaha!
A couple of issues we are finding...so any suggestions are welcome - but when changing Cam's nappy (still using MCN's)- and it seems to be only the stinky ones - he really carries on and it usually ends in tears. I'm not sure what it is about those ones- as the wet ones are fine - does anybody else find this or am I alone in this strange behaviour?
Also lately when he is eating - doesn't seem to matter breakfast, lunch or dinner - he'll eat some of it, but then a few mouthfuls later its being chewed then spat out. It is so frustrating (thankgoodness for our catching bib which collects most of it - and it doesn't seem to matter whether he wears this bib or not either) - as I don't know if he is getting enough nutritious food - as he is a petite boy anyway, but last weight at his 18month needles was good - so not worrying too much yet, I just don't want this to become a habit.
His sleeping in his bed is going well though - which is good as we're about to take the cot out of his room this weekend (though he hasn't even slept in the cot for about 4-5weeks now anyway and couldn't if he wanted to as I've got other crap in it at the moment). The only problem I'm having (which I was having with his cot anyway, so don't think its really a bed issue) - is that he likes to wake around 5.30-6am. I'm ok if he wakes from 6, but anything before 6 and I struggle at the moment. But at least being in his bed, he can get out and play with his toys until I'm ready to rise (usually plays happily by himself for 30-45mins before trying to get me involved by shoving toys in my face...lol!) - I have all the doors except his and ours closed and the child gate in the hallway closed - so he can't get into the kitchen or crawl out our doggy door - so I know he is safe too. But I just wish he'd learn to sleep in like his parents like to. Figure he'll probably work it out sleeping in just as PJ arrives...lol!
Pregnancy is going well...almost there. OB said he looks a good size the other day so not going to worry about the 5x0 clothings like I had to with Cam. Getting really tired though...which is why I struggle in the morning, especially when I can't seem to find that comfy position anymore or wake to pee a million times a night...haha. Argh the joys of pregnancy. But I'm still loving it. Once again Congrats Nikki and fingers crossed for you Sassy (I'm assuming thats what the others meant and your thread from the last week - went searching for an announcement for you too as thought I had missed that too - I haven't missed it have I).
Well that's all from me for now. Time to go wake Cam I think...that's 3hrs now - obviously needed it after the 5.30am wake up this morning.
