Tara sometimes we get up & sometimes we don't, sometimes we feed & sometimes we don't. Often I am asleep when she wakes up at 11pm and DH sometimes settles her with the dummy and sometimes with a bottle, he lets me sleep. Then some nights she wakes up at 3am... we have no "normal" over here ;)
Ive not tried avocado yet.... might give it a go.....!
Cruskits too... Jovie had a ball gumming one today.
I forgot to say that we had blood tests this morning. Both girls... it went so much better than I expected which was great, but there were still tears.
aston managed a few movements forward this afternoon!! YAY!! and he can now get himself up from his tummy to sitting...any day now..
OK today we have had 3 bottles so far and drank most of them, 1 vegimite sandwich ate bout half, yoghurt, fruit gel, some potato and half piece of bread.
woo hoo go Chelsea!
1 sandwhich is huge!

Thanks Ann and Blanche... i guess her food is ok.. btu not *real* food IYKWIM... not meals as such!

We're still feeding thru the night, here at Bilby HQ.
11pm

5am
8am
that's our night of b/f-ing
but we've stopped changing her every feed, that's the only real change. The night nappies are working really well (Kester Kovers, Sandman, Sugarpeas) and the woollies make great defacto pyjamas. I am very happy with the no leaks, considering she is in our bed for the feeds, and i often fall asleep so she stays there for hours.
tried the Jolly Jumper for the first time tonight, she ADORES it, not a very vocal bub, but the huge grins and chuckles, just gorgeous to hear. She looks like a laughing baby with the sound turned down!!
tried some steak and veg food in a jar, for 7 - 9 months recc. - well she choked on first mouthful, so won't be using that again for a while. (she's 8.5months old). we keep feeding her in the rocker, as don't have a highchair yet, it's such a battle to keep her little hands out of the food on the spoon!
Where is my beautiful baby who used to sit in the middle of the floor and play quietly by himself1?!?!?!?!?!?
Jake is crawling, commandoing when we get lazy, and pulling himself up on everything! I have a shadow that follows me everywhere and as soon as I stop he's pulled himslef up me and is standing there pleased as punch! Can't sit at the computer anymore without little hands questing their way along the top of the table - Jake is a very tall baby! He can open drawers he discovered last night and I am sure cupboards aren't too far away either....
This weekend is the baby-proofing for real weekend!!!!
I hear you Nelly! Evie pulled the corner protectors off the cabinet and chewed on them!!!!
We were up every 2 hours last night, but i alternated feeding and patting and she didnt take too long to go back to sleep...but this every 2 hour business..i dont know
Ann - good to hear someone else is still a feeding night-owl like me :)
TARA sophie did the same thing with those corner things!!!! we fed at 2.30am last night, WT?????
The only baby proofing I have done so far is put the play pen I got around the entertainment unit. When we got it home (the playpen) I put Aston in it, and looked at DH and said I can't do it. lol. It looks like baby jail. He rolled his eyes and said well that was a waste of money wasn't it... No, I say, let put it around the entertainment unit... lol Oh well.
sitting here looking at all the things that I will have to move once Aston is really crawling... Even though he did take some forward movements yesterday, it is still really only backwards, and I thikn that because he is concentrating so hard on moving forward that he forgets about all the things around him that he was trying to get too lol.
Kim - that's great what chelsea ate - and it is real food!! Aston had toast with melted cheese yesterday for lunch, ate probably half of it, then gave the rest to the dog.
Nathan is home today sick. When he got home from school yesterday he hada temp of 39 again, and this morning he was still feeling off. Mind you after giving him nurofen he is jumping! and driving me a little mad!!
hope you all have good days... waiting for aston to go to sleep so I can have a shower!
Kim Loved the photos.Chelsea looked like she was the belle of the ball, and enjoyed every moment of it!
WOW i cant believe how much i am getting done today! i am on fire!! Here's proof - our wash basket is totally empty. there's not even a shirt that needs to be washed on its own sitting in the bottom. i know i know, i am great! roflmao. The sun is soo lovely today - another day in paradise!
evie ate a bit of yogurt this morning and gummed some pear but i dont think it was ripe enough to go really mushy in her mouth, but she gave it a burl.
Vicky, i saw a playpen in Big W that has activities around it and music and such - i'm looking at getting one when we move it looks a bit less like a jail!(just dont give him a cup to tap along the rails...or a harmonica...)
Nelly - evies also opening draws and cupboards and the other day pulled the door open and put her fingers around it so i'm worried about her fingers being shut in the doors. I bought an activity centre that evie sits in when i need to get things done but she doesnt want to be left alone - quite a good investment, and is handy to take outside to hang out washing etc. i think she loves in because shes not strapped into anything, she just stands in it and bops away.
My SIL suggested i try a 'snuggly' cushion so evie doesnt roll over in the night - anyone else tried one? i dont know if she'd just be able to roll over it
wow i'm chatty! no more coffee for me!
wow you are on the go today tara!!!! caffine high hey!!!
i think i have been visited by...........................AF!!!!! the first one since sophie was born!!!
DH is pretty happy about it, i'm not!!!
A GF just rang and chatted for 40mins all the while evie's asleep and my precious alone time slipped away! she's been asleep for an hour and half already - so it's almost over :)
I've only had 2 AF's AJP and i dont remember when they were so i dont know when the next one's due but DTD the other day so am kinda hoping there's no repercussions (LOL i dont mean that in a bad way...) but am not really ready for another bub yet although DH is starting to talk about it.
I think i may have had a mini-breakthrough on the solids front. i put some avocado on bread and broke it into teeny tiny pieces and she snacked away. she choked twice and then realised she could swallow it. so fingers crossed - we're on our way!
