Babies Born October 2007 #26

Becky - BLS means baby led solids, basically skiping the puree's and straight onto finger food (though obviously very soft to begin with).

Willow - 4 BumG's sounds like a great payment. I was going to do a few hours on the Homebirth Australia stand but Harry is coughing loads so cancelled.

Oh wow Claire - tell me more! When do you start that? Have you already? And what are you going to start her with? Solid foods that she could choke on scare me!

Willow WTG on the nappies

Hope everyone else is well

Hi everyone

We are sick here (Mo know how you feel with M) Poor Maxxy boy is so blocked up and snuffly and coughing....awful. We found some good medicine though...not sure if anyone else has heard of it..(I hadn't) Paedemin? Good stuff....dry's up the nose so well. I think it's help Max deal with this full blown cold much better....and now that he's passed it on to me, that should help him too!

The wedding was good on the weekend. Mum was here with Max, he downed a bottle of formula while I was out and slept through the night. I was exploding the next day. I couldn't even sleep properly coz my chest was so heavy!

Anyone elses bub starting to get more talkative lately? Max is going nuts..I think he likes the sound of his own voice!

After the trip to CHN last week and she gave us some tips on how to get him stronger in the arms while on the tum, he's a new boy! He's pushing up with his arms and isn't whinging as much. So happy!

Anyway, it's 7:10am M back in bed, so I'm going to make a cup of tea and go back to bed myself...sweet! DH is away for a week and a half overseas for work, so I can do this without feeling guilty!

Take care everyone

Hey everyone!

We've had a dodgy morning here, hopefully the day will get better! K slept until 7:50am which was great, but he was pretty grumpy and then refused to have a nap, ahhh! I ended up just getting him up and starting all over again. He is having a nap now though, so hopefully there will be no more shenanigans today!

We had a nice weekend, pretty uneventful. We went to a first birthday party on Saturday and it was the coldest day in 31 years! It also rained non-stop. Not the best day to throw a party! The couple who had the party never have luck with weather. It poured with rain and was freezing at their wedding (it was meant to be outdoors) and they held a new years eve party at the end of '07 and it was a 40+ degree night so it was stifling! I think they should stop now LOL!

Julia - Sorry to hear Max is sick too, it's so not nice. Bummer your DH is away. What tips did your CHN give you to get Max to push up with his arms? K can't do that yet. He hardly does anything! I'd love him to be able to move around more, I think he gets so bored and then whinges.

Mo - I hope you guys get better soon!

Willow - Awesome about free nappies! (Well kind of free, you did work for them ). I helped a friend out at the baby expo a couple of years ago, it was madness! She designs/sells soft leather baby shoes called Cheeky Little Soles (such a cute name), so we talked shoes all day. I scored some slippers and shoes from her though! I hope you find the right sling soon, have you stalked the threads about them?

Becky - What a PITA about the RSL! I can't believe they wouldn't let you in because of that! Don't they have better things to worry about? Oh well, their loss of $$$.

Claire - Let us know how the BLS goes, I might try some finger food with K soon.

Celtic - Glad you had a good time away. Sorry Ryan is sick again. I hope he wakes at a more reasonable time for you again!

Saffi - Yay for L eating pears! And yay for a CC place! Make sure you show us those professional photos of L.

Alz - I'm sure Ethan will go back to normal soon, he is still probably getting over feeling sick. I know after I've had gastro I've gone off the foods I ate just before I got it!

Viv - How is your DH after the funeral? It must have been tough on him.

Misskate - I don't think anyone thinks you're a pushy stage mum! It sounds like you had a great fun day with the girls.

Amber - I'm glad Myles likes swimming lessons! It's great for them to learn so young.

Kellie - Haven't heard from you for a while, how are you and Tahlia going?

Kim - You too, how are you feeling? How are the girls?

Have a great day everyone!

Trish love your new ticker pic
Are you still going to the belly belly opening?

Juila sorry to hear Max is sick as-well

[~Trish~]

Thanks Mo! Yep, we plan on going still. Not sure what time yet, probably late morning. When were you planning on going?
