Wow Viv, how's your back coping?! What a big boy that J is, you must have the good stuff .

[ninja_turtle]

just noticed all the typos in that last post. that's what a crying baby does!

trish - the breastmilk round here must be fairly solid to make a fellow this big. all this eating like a horse is paying off. yeah, my back (and whole body is ouchie most of the time).

he's crying again. bah. refusing to settle this afternoon. wooh. lucky me.

Happy 6 months logan, Kieran and Tahlia
Happy 7 months to Myles!

i cannot beleive my boofa has passed J in the weight department!
Had him weighed a few days back and he cracked the 10kg mark exactly! also is 75cm long, maybe i have a basketballer on my hands!
Nixon at 2yrs is 13kg and 90cm.
we now have 4 teeth here, 2 top and 2 bottom.

wow to the early talkers! and yayyyy on the first word being mum!!

Nixon came out with bub first followed by dad and then finally mum, but he was 9-10months old before that started.

I just started Tyron on 2 solids a day now. I read in my baby love book (how sad i had a baby 18months earlier and already forgotten) and a suggestion was to increase the 2nd about 2 weeks on and the 3rd around a further 2 weeks. I decided to because he started dropping a feed, wanted more than the 3rd but not quiet 4.
so now he is having 3 200-250ml bottles and 2solid feeds of about 2Tablespoons each.

Hi everyone

Sorry haven't been able to read the posts, my computer at home is completely stuffed...I'm on DH's laptop at the mo scamming on someones wireless internet Better not keep it up for long...

Just wanted to say a quick HI and I'm not completely vanishing.....I never realised how much the computer keeps me in touch with the world! Sad!

Thanks for the feeding info ladies. Wow Nic only 3 bottles! I am still BF 6 times in 24 hours. "Sigh" I do love it but would like a nights sleep. Today though she refused the 4pm feed and trucked through until dinner, then she had sweet corn and rice cereal, had a half a$$ed feed at about 7pm and then to bed at about 7.30pm, and she has just woken (8.30pm) and had another feed!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Now in a perfect world that may mean only one room service tonight but I bet it is still 2!!

I am stressing too because tomorrow I have to play soccer and I have expressed enough for a feed - it will be interesting to see how DH goes with both girls, sleeps, feed and solids LOL!

Must run, have a good night all.

Hi all

Well its quiet in here!

Quiet on the home front too. Doing the handover with DH atm. Writing instructions on how I run the house, use the washing machine etc. Think he is going to get a bit of a rude shock. Maybe I will be the one with the rude shock when I come home and find house as a disaster zone. As an example, I slept in this morning and when I got up there were dishes everywhere, the drawers in L's room were wide open where he had gone to dress him, and bottles needing to be washed and sterilised. I am trying not to be a control freak about it all. He's just going to have to learn for himself!

DH tried pumpkin on L this morning. I think there was more of it smeared on the bib and L's face than actually got in the mouth. Oh well, we'll persevere.

Have put him on Stage 2 formula and using Avent Number 4 teats. Does anyone else use these teats? We were on 2s but DH bought 4s so worried that we have missed a step. The flow is so much faster than he is used to.

Good night tho. Fed him at around 10.30, but didn't settle until almost 12. Then he slept through to 5, fed at 6 and up at 7. Interesting. Tonight will be my last night shift, tho I will probably do Fri and Sat nights to give DH a break LOL!

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

there is a size 3 teat as well saffi.
thats what we have Ty on now, even still i think he gulps too quick so i 4 would be pretty quick.

leah- how did dh go with the girls?

well it seems there is a lot of dh doing child duties atm. i had a tupperware party this arvo so dh had the boys. he worked all last night got home at 5am but he slept until 12.30pm, so still the same amount of sleep.
i was gone 3.5hrs and when i got home he is grumpy as anything,nothin done ofcourse exept more mess than when i had left. i think his work is stressing him out atm but i hate the fact its arond the home, if he's in a bad mood we all are!
