Question for everyone: I was interested to know what is your bubba's favourite activity and/or favourite toy?
Maya loves it when I hide near her, then pop out suddenly, move very close to her and say "Hello!". I'm not sure if she has a favourite toy but she does love a tigger teddy bear that plays music and has flashing lights. When I turn it on she goes totally quiet and just watches it. I just wish it played longer than it does.
OK.. will try and BBL for personals. Gotta go feed Maya.
Girls, still around, problems posting and time ----
Happy 8 months to X/Z for yesterday WOOT!! Still b/f, but feeling a bit meh about it at the moment, probably get over that tomorrow LOL...
Belfie - how did the MCHN appt go - Zander ate 3/4 jar of custard last night lol - so I spose I am doing a bit of BLS and conventional style - depends what we are eating and what suits. He wont touch brekky cereals like weetbix or porridge yet though - i wouldnt either with warm water ewww - but am not gunna crack some formula for cereal and have to throw it out etc. I think he is getting there verrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly.
Georgi - Z is sleeping like crapola again during the day 3 - 4 x 30 min sleeps - but sleeps well at night - throw the balls up in the air and he loses here with me trying to resettle during the day due to time constraints hehehehe.
Tanya - Zander loves his Bright Stars mirror I got him a couple of months ago, he talks and babbles to himself - and his GloWorm, he sits there and sings lalalala and bobs his head up and down when I activate - its a cack!
Fluff - yep zander sleeps mainly through the night, but I never change his nappy o/n though - so still looking into cloth for overnight.
He has been very compliant with my wish for him not to poo in his new-ish MCN's LOL. He is in sposies overnight still and usually uses those first thing in the morning the last 3 weeks when he has had to go - good boy!! He is still a little lump though quite happy to sit and play and not in a rush to move - fine by me for now
Thanks Tanya yeah trying to get on here yesterday was a nightmare!
Well our MHCN visit went well -she was actually really nice. X is 9.7kg and 70cm long. She agreed that we should give his solids before his bottle given his vomiting tendency. She was also very pro finger foods which I was pleased with (even if I am too gutless to try them most of the time haha). I'm also off to see a paediatric dietician on Weds, cos I really can't work out what to avoid or include given most of our family digestive probs are intolerances & malabsorptions as opposed to allergies. Hopefully that'll help.
His sleep is totally stuffed up atm, dunno what's going on with him... the internet seems to suggest this is common at 8 months. And as we all know, "the internet" is always right
SamiH - I can only imagine being meh on the BF. I'm meh on the expressing (whcih i'm doing right now.. haven't had lunch yet hmmm). I'm planning to stop 9 mths I think... will start phasing in FF in a few weeks. I prolly need to get a life whcih is not being on a pump 5 times a day... LOL on Z being a lump. X is rolling like crazy, and was almost on all fours rocking today... uh oh!
Tanya - great question! X's fave toys - a cloth book "farmtails" with animal tails all sticking out hte side and a Lamaze dragonfly and ... em... panda too . And of course, the tags/wrapping on everything/anything. Had looked at that Bright Stars mirror, mmm tempted to get it now!
amy - Sorry to hear about Bethany's UTI. How's she doing now? I assume she's on anti-biotics and hopefully that has fixed things. And sorry to hear about the headaches. I hope things ease up for you soon!
Sami - I've been thinking of getting a mirror too cos Maya loves it when I take her to a mirror. She squeals at herself. Where did you get your mirror from? ohh.. and I have a recipe I made up for weet-bix that doesn't involve BM or formula and Maya loves it! I get the weet-bix and add boiling water (from the kettle) until it's mushy, then add some yoghurt to it and stir through. It's actually quite nice.
belfie - Wow, X is about double the size of Maya. I keep thinking we should organise to get together IRL. I reckon X would look huge to me and M would look so tiny to you! Oh and Maya's sleeps aren't that great at the moment either. I've been wondering if it's time to go to two naps a day or not?!
Fluff - Happy anniversary to you and your DH.
Georgi - Hello! How's everything going?
csab - How's V doing?
Amanda - Are your boys better now? How's the flooding?
Have I missed anyone. Sorry if I have! Hello to anyone I missed.
Oh and he is trying when we are in the bath together to suckle/latch on!! I let him to see what he would do...happily sucked away....strange how he still remembers.... don't think i am strange girls!!!!
Tanya~ Bethany's UTI is on the mend although we will need to follow up and check that there isn't anything wrong that we can't see. We are at a bit of a crisis point here....She has spent weeks screaming and not feeding (hence not being around much) no one can decided if it is reflux or behavioural. Bethany will be one of the cases discussed this morning at a big peds case conferance and hopefully all those minds together can come up with something. FAST!! Yesterday was by far the worse. I just want her to be able to eat and feel better. She went all day yesterday with out a sleep so she was a nightmare to settle last night. I wish there were easy answers with these little people. Anyway the last 2 days has seen me do assesments and interviews with people who will present the case to the peds, hard to do when your child is screaming and you are half asleep. But we got there. Although she has lost a bit more weight and I will have to go out today and get her more winter stuff. The pants she has are too small and I can't even pin them they need to come in that much!! Had she not gone on a hunger strike all would be well! Anyway hopefully the brains of peds will come up with something, I have a feeling the something will be reflux meds but to be honest at this point bring it on.
I am going to have a cup of tea and enjoy the silence.
amy - I also have a UTI. I've been feeling terrible over the last couple of days and finally saw a doctor today. Hopefully it'll clear up soon. So I can imagine how poor Bethany must be feeling. What did the paeds come up with for Bethany? I hope things improve soon!
fluff - That's great on the "dada" Maya did it over and over again for days and now has stopped.
Well I had an annoying day yesterday. Most of you know this already, but just want to vent once more. Went to an ABA meeting for the first time. I was having a cup of tea and another woman (who has a toddler) insisted on holding Maya. She knelt down on the floor and was cuddling Maya. Then had Maya on her knee and wasn't supporting her well, but I stupidly didn't say anything cos I assumed she was ready to catch her. Then she saw that Maya can stand (with support!!!!) and so she let Maya stand and then let go! So Maya fell forwards and planted her face into the floor! OMG I was so upset and so ****ed off. The woman just said "oh I thought she could stand" and "I forgot that you have to support them". The woman is heavily pregnant, but I don't think there's any excuse for it at all! It makes me feel like I don't want to let anyone hold Maya (other than people I know and trust of course). Then I was worried that Maya was injured and wasn't sure if I should be taking her to see someone. But she calmed as soon as I held her so I thought surely if she was badly injured she would keep crying. Anyway, not a nice experience for me or Maya!
