Babies Born October 2007 #21

[~Trish~]

Leah - I might do a ring around before heading out then. I know Babies Galore stock them, but we don't have Babies Galore in VIC, I was hoping other baby shops might stock them too. I really want to try one on and see the colours in person first! Oh well, maybe I'll just have to buy one online and cross my fingers LOL! What colour is yours and are you happy with it?

Mo - Bummer the rice cereal didn't agree with Maddi! Oh well, not long until she turns 6 months!!

Becky - Blurrgh, your night sounded terrible! Good luck tonight without the wrap and dummy tonight! Let us know how she goes.

Have a great night everyone

Trish if you go to the ergo site it has a list of stockist! i got mine from a shop up here in Qld surely Vic would have them! Hope K is alright after his jabs!

Mo have a ball at moomba! Dh is soo jealous! We may go next year!

Becky hope chels is better for you tonight welcome to the no sleep club! Sucks hey!

Rebecca we will be making our own food! You could just use a masher if you didnt have a blender! We got a stick blender from aldi it was like $6 bargin!

Well not much going on here except Myles is up nearly every 2 hrs which is driving me insane! I miss my sleep so much!

He is aslo kinda belly crawling which is cool! I think he will crawl before he sits up
sorry if this doesnt make sense I am just sooo tired!
Anyway will bbl have a good night!

Hey all

Busy day. Went to a workshop with a whole lot of other mums. They had organised day care for bubs too. Was interesting to see how L went without me. Didn't sook or anything, but I think at this age they haven't formed that deep emotional attachment.

Rebecca - I got a stick blender for my b'day for that exact reason. I have made hummus, a peach mousse, frappicinos and whipped stuff with it so far. I can't wait until I can puree stuff. I got one with a whisk attachment and also a bowl.
Becky - sorry you had a carp night. I guess if you are going to do it then doing the wrapping and dummy at once is a good way to go. At least get the pain over with in one. Hope it is getting better for you.
Alz - good to hear that baptism went well. Poo that you got sick tho.

Bottle warmer turned up yesterday. Forgot to take it down to the car and I really could have used it today. Also bought a portacot for our trip up north which also turned up yesterday. Been putting L in it to get used to it.

L's shots were yesterday. He had the briefest of cries when the needles went in and then totally forgot about them. He seems to have been really good overnight and today. Doesn't a fever or anything which I am happy about.

House looks like a bomb has hit it. Need to do some housework..... tomorrow.

Later!

Hi everyone

It's been pretty busy lately for us!

We had mothers group today and I had all the girls and bubs over at my place. It was a nice day for it, had a good time, but am pretty tired now!

Becky Good luck getting rid of wrap and dummy! Hope things get better for you.

Carriers I have a bjorn and I like it...it is one of the ones with the back support though. I like the material it is made from, and judging by the slobber mark on the front, Max likes it too! I use it to do the food shopping.

Rebecca I plan on making my own baby food. I have a stick blender which comes with different attachment thingys like whisk and little bowl thingy (same as Saffi by the sounds) which is good, and not expensive either. I have already made steamed some carrots and frozen in the freezer tray thingys for when the time comes.

I was out the other night and Mum was holding on to Max. I turned around and she had given him a taste of a potato WEDGE! Thing was....he LOVED it! He was sucking away on it like he'd always eaten it! I'm still going to wait until 6 months to start the food though. Not long now!

Still no rolling here (Maybe there is something about the 12th of October Leah) but I am pretty sure that Max is going to be sitting before he rolls! He loves his bumbo and he loves sitting on the chair. He leans forward and is getting better at balancing.

Max is pretty close to the 8kg mark so I turned around his car seat the other day! It says it can be done from 8kg to 18kg. He likes it so much better.... he doesn't have to lean forward like he was AND he can now reach his toy!

I booked Max in for his swimming lessons the other day....starts on the 17th....SO EXCITED!

Anyway.... I am off to laze on the chair with DH

Hope everyone has a good night. SLEEP TIGHT!

Trish my Ergo is Cranberry and black. I like the new Retro Green Limited Edition Sue has on her site, very spunky! Of the plain colours I like the blue or the cranberry.

We love the Ergo. I should get my Scootababy this week to WOOT! It is similar to an Ergo but a hip carry style. Good for quick in and out of preschool drop offs, shops and for when they are older and are up, down, up, down etc etc.
The Ergo is best for longer periods and sleeping in though.

Good luck!

Oh and I had Amara weighed today and she is 6.9kg!!! Eliza weighed 7.4kg at 8 and a half months so I have 2 very different bubbas!

[nickers]

i did the same with Nixon as a few have suggested regarding prep of solids.
However ofcourse i use tupperware!! They have these great ice cube trays that have a silicon notch on the bottom so you can pop just one cube at a time out. You can mix up different things in different trays then pop a few cubes of each out.
from memory after the rice cerial it was 1 fruit of vege at a time.
i would give only that to him for a few days ina row before introducing another food just to be sure there were no reactions to the foods introduced.

soooo saves time once they have a variety of foods to make up batches and be prepared, i still do vegies cubes for Nixon and its great to just add a few to whatever else i have for him on the night.

Tyron now has 2 teeth! the second one came through a few days after the first. he's been a bog grizzly on and off and they seem to be coming up fast.

anyway well past my bed time, i dont think that evening coffee helped me to go to bed!

[Khaleesi]

Maddi still has no teeth, but i'm happy to wait for the teething for the stage.

Amber-How are you doing with the nappy hunt?

Kim-Hope you doing better.

Becky-Hope you had a better night.

Hi ladies,
How is everyone going???
WOW... These babies are growing up too fast! I've had a look at your signature photos and the changes are just amazing!
How is everyone finding mother hood 4-5 months down the track??? I'm LOVING every minute of it! Tiera is just a fabulous baby!!! She has found her voice and loves to squeal!!! lol I went to the clinic to get her weighed last week and she 6.75kg!!!! What a fatty dumb She's still sleeping through the night (9pm - 7am then back to sleep until 9am-10am ish), but is sleeping more through day now. I'm still breastfeeding and just loving it. Someone once told me it was addictive, didn't really understand it at the time, but certainly do now. Tiera is still thriving on the breast, so I'm not starting any solids until 6mths.
Tiera is now rolling both ways (tummy to back, back to tummy) and wiggles her way across the floor. She puts EVERYTHING she can get her little hand on straight in her mouth! She is still a little sticky beak and I can't feed her when people walk into the room, cuz she just wants to turn around and stare at them!

As for me everything is going pretty well. STILL having trouble with my tear (now scar). Went back to my OB/GYN and have been refered to a colin surgeon in Newcastle which I can't get into until June. She still may operate on the front end if the pain hasn't stopped in a few months time. Four months on and DTD is extreamly painful and doesn't happen too often because of it. But it is all worth it in the end. I'm just greatful I have such a happy and healthy baby girl!

So.... Has anyone got another one on the way, or looking at trying for another one anytime soon???
We're not looking at having another one until Tiera is 3yrs old, so will start trying somewhere around her 2nd b'day (which I"m sure will come around before I know it). Trying to get my brother and hi wife to have a baby next year so I can have a fix in between!! lol

Well, now I've written a novel I better go and face the day!
Take care all.

Morning...

Been a while since i popped in.

Lauren....your not working now? Did i miss something? Welcome to SAHMotherhood!

Rebecca- Only food i made was the vegies...the rest was canned stuff until Chelsea was old enough to begin eating our food without being mashed! They say to introduce vegies first rather then fruit because fruit is sweet and babies get hooked on it faster making it harder to get vegies into them....not sure how true it is. Chelsea will only eat pumpkin and potato.

Im feeling much better now....was a severe gastro bug in the end..not gall stomes...stupid dr. I am now however dealign with severe AF cramping so been makign me bit off sorts.

Nappy hunt....driving me bonkers...i gave up looking.....which reminds me..have ot move icon tonight...been alot of cheating going on

I cant remember what anyone else has said so huge apoligies.

I have Jasmines check up next week now cos i was sick on Friday. Also due for needles but dont want to do them.
