Woohoo!!! Long weekend is here!!! Off to the Coast in the morning once drop the puppies off at Grandmas.
Food out and about - only give L bottles when we are out, but yesterday he grabbed at the Club Sandwich I was having for lunch so I gave him a crust of bread to suck on. He loved it! Think most of it ended up as moosh all over him, but it gave him something to suck on and stop attacking my lunch. Going to pack a few of those rusks that MIL gave me ages ago for when we are out.
Starting to think that L might be more of a finger food than a spoon fed type of bub.
L's ear is giving him grief atm. Not sure if he is teething, its his cold, or an ear infection. His poor ear and cheek are red from where he's rubbed at it :( He went to sleep ok tonight tho so we'll see. I'll be sure to pack the panadol for our trip JIC.
When we looked at prams I was told most 3 wheelers aren't jogger prams eventho they are labelled as such. I think you need to ask which brand is made especially for jogging. Jogging? Me? No way!!!!!
Nappies - L is a tummy sleeper and we have always used Huggies and rarely have a problem. I make sure I change his nappy when I do his 10pm feed and by 7am his nappy is pretty full but he's still dry. At daycare today he had 2 "accidents". They do cloth and someone didn't put his pilchers on properly. Good news is their policy is that they clean the clothes and sheets when he has an accident. Bonus! Missed the discussion about the double layering. Interesting!
Be back on Monday. Have a good weekend all.

Thanks for the tips Gals...will try double nappy, or even boost with his BumG thing into the sposie.
Viv Your questions...
Boobing...I will do whatever, but will probably do same as you and get him off when he can have cows milk.
Out and about feeding. I take along his home made stuff in a little lunchbox (which are now very funky!) and just feed as I would at home...but without the high chair! Will occasionally take a rafferty's....Max luuurves them!
Jogger pram...me jog?...never!
Chords....Viv to be honest I am quite a fan of the wondersuit...wondering if they can start making them for adults. How COZY! But wouldn't exactly bring sexy back in the bedroom....actually, they would be a pretty good contraceptive!
Willow...yes you should be well proud! As should we all :) Hope your horror nights come to an end soon.
Bye for now everyone, you lucky eastern staters...public holiday...we had ours last week!
Must go....

Waaaaaaaaa :cry:
We're in for another bad night, it's already been bad!
Trish - can you please come over to my house and sort this kid out for me like you did K?? Pretty please??
-
Julia- i'd put a microfleece liner over the BumG microfibre. Not sure why but microbibre feels horrible against your skin! ;)
Willow- :hug: it might get better!

How'd last night go Willow? I hope it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be! :hug:
K decided to have an extra long feed at 5am this morning for some reason. At least he went straight back to sleep afterwards, sometimes it's a struggle to get him back off after his early morning feed. I woke up at 7am to hear him saying "dad dad", it was so cute! He learned to say it this week and this morning was the first time he's woken up saying it. He's said "mum" once or twice and he says "yeah" (Joel used to always say that too!). DH asked him the other morning if he was going to be a good boy today and he said "yeahhhh", very funny :D
Hope you all have a great weekend. We don't have much on, we'll just play it by ear. Tonight we've got a birthday dinner for my step-dad and Grandpa. Grandpa's 84 and as fit as someone 20 years younger, he rocks!

Nice work big K- i figure if they saya dadda in the night, then the dad has to go! Don't want to confuse them. :lol:
The Guni has a new trick, she is pretty confident at pulling up on her trolley now, she wobbles across the room until she hits something and then YELLS OUT until i come and turn her around! She has NO idea how to get down. It looks pretty funny. :lol:
How'd you go Julia, any leaks?
Oh, i meant to say, guni has partial fussed labia, no big deal will fix itself over time as her hormones increase, but DH said to me, 'Ah well, at least we wont need a chastity belt when she gets older' :doh: men! Seriously is that all they think about!
-
Hey all, just popping in. Nothing much new here. Same old! Chels is rolling all over, sitting up, comando crawling, trying to pull herself up. She is a CHAMP at eating and even better at night (sorry). Sleeps from about 8pm til 8am, waking maybe once or twice just to pop her dummy in then straight back asleep.
Not much else thogh. My Birthday tomorrow but DH has to work so wont be doing a whole lot. Might go out for dinner depending what time he gets home. Other than that, a quiet one!
Hope you all have good weekends

ok pc was down for a few days so i have a bit of catch up, ive browsed passed sorry ive prob missed a stack.
doh i already forget what i was going to write! ok i will edit as i remember lol.
Saffi- congrats on L walking
Kim- if anyone knows what it feels like to have a baby not doing things other babies the same age are doing i do. I was and still am in two Baby buddies groups for Nixon. One for June (cause those were the girls that i went through my pg with) and one for April (cause thats the month he came)
Ppl were posting in BOTH threads when their babes were doing things and even the June babies were acheiving milestones before he was. also in our mothers group Nixon was the eldest out of 8 children but practically the last to do all of those things. Also most of the June buddies forgot to wish nixon a happy 2nd birthday, not cause they dont like me or him but brithday's wernt on their minds in April where as now in June every day its a happy birthday to someones little one. Its kinds in built in us i suppose for us to get a little down if u hear or see all these babies doing things that you'rs is not but on the same note mums get very proud an excited when their baby reaches those goals, and not to gloat or make it obvious to the ones who ARE NOT yet doing those things.
There are bubs in here that are born from mid Sept to early November too so even if every single child did the same thing at the same time there would still be a 7week wait for all of them to acheive.
i get excited when tyron does something new, i know i have come in here and posted when he got tooth 1, tooth 2 etc etc (btw just popped tooth 7) but it by no means impy's i am rubbing it in anyones face that i have a baby with a mouth full of teeth!
I appologise if i have missed commenting on particular posts from you but as you would know when you cannot come in every single day its impossible to catch up and comment on what every person has written,the last time i was in here was about 3 days ago i think, a lot has happened since then! im sure someone else has written something i prob should comment on but i just havent had time to read all of the posts
who made the comment about having an adult size wondersuit LOL?? now their's an idea!!
oh happy birthday becky!!
-
:D Happy Birthday Becky!!! :D
I hope you have a great day and get lots of pressies!!
Nic - Wow, Tyron has 7 teeth! K still hasn't popped a single tooth yet!
Ange - How cute that Lu doesn't know how to get down! She'll be walking in no time :o
Have a great day everyone!

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Becky!!:happybirthday:
Nic - 7 teeth??!! Hooley dooley!! We're still sitting on 2 here.
Well we've had better nights the last two night since cutting back on the solids. BUT he is feeding more frequently overnight again, twice instead of once. I guess he's more hungry now but at least he is feeding and straight off to sleep again, no episodes of crying and no settling for an hour at at time! The lesser of two evils for now, but at least I'm getting some sleep again.
We're off shopping today to replace L's change table. I know a lot of people say they are useless but I seriously can't live without mine! I used it with DD till she was like 2! LOL. The one we have always had was borrowed from friends of ours who are now expecting their second bub so it has to go back to them. I'm actually thinking of getting something a bit more practical - a low boy or something simililar - and just getting a change mat to sit on top. I need some more storage space for his MCN and also for his clothes. He only has a tall boy, no wardrobe.
Anyhoo, that was a ramble and a half! Am sure you all found it very interesting :p anyway, gotta go, DH is hanging over my shoulder calling me a forum w*ore again! LOL...

i love my change table too willow. i still sometimes put nixon up there if he is being a worm and i just want to dress/change him and cannot keep him still on the floor etc! i also have a bad back so bending over all the time on the floor is not ideal.
i found though with nixon i had everything placed in my change table and it was so handy, but with Ty everything has to be stored in cubboards etc cause nixon gets to it all now!
yup 7 teeth, i suspect number 8 wont be far behind because everytime he has cut one the other hasnt been far behind. He's been a lot more upset about this tooth come through, for the last 5nights in a row he has needed rocking and holding to sleep, normally he is not a cuddly boy and when tired prefers just to be put down.

Morning all,
Not much happening here. Just a cruisy day at home. Got a sitter for Ethan last night so we could go out for dinner well we went to 4 resturants before we found one that had a table (dh forgot to book).
Up early this morning to feed little man (cut down his 9pm feed to 50mls so he woke up early hungry). Then went back to sleep and slept till 9.30!!!! WOOOHOOO!
Jogger prams - not sure why we were talking about them. (I think I missed something) We have a 3 wheeler but not sure if it is a jogger. We love it. Find it great for steering one handed and walking (since that is my mode of transport). We have a little layback stroller for the car which is fab too but wont go the distance like the jogger.
Nappies - given up on the bumg's for night. We were double stuffing them but he still leaked heaps. Even the snugglers nappies (which we have always found really good) would leak. Tried using 2 of them (one crawler one toddler) but that too didn't work. Given in now and use huggies. Not many accidents now. Still using bumg's and hautes during the day.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

7 teeth! holy fangbusters... lucky he's not on yer nip anymore, it would be hole-punched!
nappies - last night i tested a babylove 10-15kg on its own, and it was great - even for mr weebags... so, that was a surprise, might use them for a bit. i still like mamia, but it's such a strange thing trying to find the right fit for each bot!

Happy birthday becky.
Alz- Using Huggies isn't giving in, it's just doing what works! Changing sheets and wet cloths or a baby waking b/c it's wet is not cool! ;)
7 teeth???? holy guacamole Nic! we just cut the 4th and i was wondering if it was ever going to stop! Does it effect sleeping at your place? speaking of your place, have you moved in?
Been painting and decluttering the house today, anyone would think i am nesting...... am not!
Willow- are you up to more filling solids yet? ie, pasta, meat etc. might help with the overnight hunger....
-
ange - have you been fanged on the nip with those 4? i'm scared of his teeth coming in yanno...
-
Ange - nah, not yet. Bit scared to now! Have halved his dinner portion because of the vomiting and waking and crying etc etc...when are you supposed to start pasta & rice?? He's had chicken once and was OK on that. Should give him some more I guess.
Viv - having fed a baby till 16 months with a whole set of teeth...it seriously is not a big deal. They give you a nip every now and then, mainly with the first teeth coming in (kinda working out what they are and what fun things they can do with them). I never had a big issue with it, don't know any long termers who did either, it's usually just a passing phase.
