Babies Born October 2007 #29

[Willow]

Hey kids, sorry I haven't been around much. Making an effort to spend less time on BB these days. Haven't caught up fully so forgive my pathetic personals!

Trish - glad the rash has gone! L had one today on his cheeks, thinking it could have been the spag bol he had for dinner

Claire - am thinking of going to the sydney meet, wish is wasn't so bloody far away though!

Food - been pondering brekkie a lot lately. Gave him weet bix one day then freaked out thinking it was too early for wheat??!! He doesn't rate the baby cereals AT ALL....so normal grown up porridge is OK? Lunch is usually vegies or pasta or something similar. Sometimes a bit of fruit. He's having cereal with fruit and a bit of raisin toast for brekkie, vegies, meat and pasta for dinner most nights. Solids going much better these days. Still a boob maniac though!

Sleep - after a horrendous few weeks when he was sick and waking himself up constantly by coughing (Kellie - we were going through it the same time as Tahlia, the spewing and all, fun no??) things are settling back down. Still not sleeping through the night and you know what? I'm finally over it! I don't care! The boy doesn't sleep through, so sue him Going to keep truckin on knowing that I'm doing the best for my boy. He doesn't cope at all being left to cry so I just won't do it. He's doing 4-5.5 hr blocks overnight and that's good enough for me. Sleeping well during the day. Getting a copy of No Cry Sleep Solution asap, just don't have the cash at the mo (which reminds me, Ange, sending your book back to you this week babe, thanks again!)

Other stuff - cutting two top teeth. Both are nearly through and giving him holy hell. He's been sleeping OK but constantly rubbing his face and mouth and biting everything - including his 6 month old cousin

And lordy, but the boy is pulling himself up on furniture etc and standing...****, he'll be walking way before I'm ready!!

Having his 6 month needles tomorrow...whoops, better late than never!
