Hi all.

Jordan's Birthday ended up being a good day.... He had so much fun. The day started off looking aweful. Cloudy, cold but ended up warming up and bacame noce and sunny not long after we got there. We got him an Unlimited pass to ride the trains and he took full advantage of it... He got heaps of presents even BIL's new GF brought him one... (very sweet... she's 13) He loved all the Thomas stuff so i think we'll go again...

DD was ok considering the flies.... No matter how much areogard we used they just wouldnt leave anyone alone. I didnt get to do much with jordan it seemed like i was stuck with DD and the bags and minding the table... Every time i asked someone to watch DD so i could take DS on the train or to see the petting farm or jumping castle it was... "she'll cry... she wont stay with me" in the end i gave up and walked round with her and made the others watch everything. Still didnt get a chance on a train or to have any one on one time with DS.... But all in all he had a blast so that was the main thing.

We've still been having several wake ups... The 1 night was short lived but what can you do... she's having constipation issues again from the farex so i'm not using it anymore... everytime she has it she's bound up for few days.

With the getting round, she's also doing the circles... Sometimes looks like a turtle how she pushes her body up and stretches out her neck, others like a seal... hehe... she can still get round the floor very easily... she can go backwards and has worked out if she rolls over few times she ends up on the other side... Has said Mum few times and i swear she says "hello" she's started giving kisses when i get her out of bed 1st thing in the morning (like the final wake up) she hold my face and then sucks on my cheek ... HEHE (probably cos she's hungry but still)

NaNa- Yep still having teeth issus... NEED them out but havent had time to go or money to get them ripped out. its getting bad cos there on an angle towards my cheek its really painful. Also withthe biting i read that bubs can form a habbit with biting. SO the tips were to tell them no and take them off and put them down straight away. wait 10-15 minutes and try again that way they start to know that if they bite they get put down. With DS i started doing the "uh uh" when she does and i take her off and put her on the floor. She cries i leave her and then when we try again ahe's all loving and plays with my hair and just stares in my eyes like "sorry mum'... we havent had it happen with the tooth yet but it hurts enough with gums... Sorry to hear you've had some more bad nights...

Bec- I agree with NaNa... I dont see the issue with it. Morning solid we do after a BF. but dinner solid we do before a BF. They say that the BM is still the most important thing but i've found being a mum, in most circumstances you have to do what works for you. I was also thinking of trying DD on an Avo... i tried her with a milk arroroot biscut yesterday at the train place... she loved it but i was freaking out the whole time cos she was chomping down and finally a chunk broke off... Muckily she spat it out. But i think she just like to eat with everyone...
