Babies Born September 2007 #29

[Ozstar]

Just quickly jumping on before the footy starts.

Jazmum ask away, I will answer whatever I can RE giving birth on the Gold Coast. PM if it is easier.

Renee we have just turned Logans seat around, he was starting to try and lok up all the time and straining his neck.

Hayley don't freak out about not introducing meat yet. Logan has spag bol whenever we do and he occasionally has some chicken. I think food is more about bubs experimenting at this age and not so much about the nutrition IFYKWIM.

Pregpan Noah is a very lucky little boy when it comes to food.

We have had such a crap day here today. Logan didnt want to eat or sleep today all he wanted to do was scream. In the end I gave him some panadol and he finally had a snooze around 3.30. I was almost going to ring DH to come home and rescue me lol. I think it his teeth so fingers crossed they come through quickly, although it could be anything....it's not like he can answer me when I ask him whats wrong lol.

might be going to a shop that stocks baby behinds tmw avo to have a look.. i am becoming a cloth nappy addict lol shes using terrys during the day at home and weve now got 4 pea pods that we are using when we are out and i just started using them with a night booster for overnight coz the terrys soak through really quick and she feels wet where as the pea pods have like a fleece that draws moisture away... have had a few leaks out the side though so tonight i am gonna put a cover over it.. i think its just because with the night booster in it its a bit bulkier and i cant do it up as tight so its leaking out the legs a bit.. they are great while we are out though ive had one on her for 5 hours (was out for longer than i thought lol oops) and when i goit home and changed her she didnt even feel wet the inside when i took it out was soaked though so its obviously doing its job..might get some itti bittis too coz they are still having some specials since they were at the expo.. hehe addicted!!!
katie - sounds like our day here asha has been so fussy and naughty lately she is driving me up the wall.. she throws a better tanty than me lol i didnt think it could be done
renee - asha has her two bottom teeth through and yeah atm she has oral thrush poor thing.. we turned ashas car seat around at about 5 1/2mths she loves looking out the window and gets much less frustrated in the car..
pregpan - oh i have cooking envy lol i am such a crappy cook damn it!!
jazmum - lol that sounds cute head bumpa hehe i saw little like knee pads for crawling that i thought were cute..
haley - yeah woodon floors are sooo much easier!! we live in a rented house so what we got is all we have lol atleast most of the house is lino and not too hard to clean not very attractive though lol..

renee - we changed Hannah from the rear facing capsule to the forward facing car seat about a month ago. She loves being able to see what's going on and especially likes being in the middle of her big sisters.
katie - thanks for that. My sister is 3 months pregnant and will be visiting the Gold Coast Hospital. Is that where you went? i hope Logan sleeps well for you tonight. Can't remember - does he sleep through the night?
noni - seems like you know what you're doing with the cloth nappies. I was going to look into the modern cloth nappies originally, but with so many choices and decisions to make, it was doing my head in!!! (which is why Hannah wears Huggies) i've seen the knee pads too, but thought they might get in the way a little. I hope she doesn't mind wearing the head band, otherwise i'll have wasted $35 !!

good morning lovelies

renee- yes we have changed our car seat around and he likes it much better

pregpan- you are such a great chef, i think you should write a book and make some coin out of it!

jaz- that head band sounds like a great idea. is it a pretty one too?

well i'm almost cured of my TDE. i bought one yesterday and pick it up tomorrow night YAH!!! i'm so excited. the floors here are absolutely disgusting as i stopped doing them altogether...i'm so sick of wading through all the rubble. can't wait to get it home and try it out

[*noni*e*]

lol asha was drinking her morning bottle in her bouncer, she left a bit but had finished it and was just laying there, then she sat up in the bouncer did two big burps and layed back down haha what a smarty pants!!
jazmum - yeah it is overwhelming to start with which is why asha was in disposable for this long haha.. i started with terry flats and have progressed from there its made it a bit easier i think.. wow 35 dollars lol..
haley - thanx i think it is clearing up now she has started to sleep a bit better, still not drinking better though

Oh my god Noni!! Im going to freak you out LOL!!!

I had a dream your mum lived at the top of my street. She was a fisherwoman and she would go away for 6 months finishing and during those 6 months you lived at her house LOL! And asha had a white cot! I was over at your house and you were making us toast (I think it was). We were talking about how great it was that we had Hayley living so close too! LOL!!! What the??

Im going to get Rory some new toys next week as he has started to grow out of the ones he got when he was born (rattles etc). Do you have any recommendations? Any toys your bub loves to play with??

Oh Hayley Target has a Fisherprice sale, buy two toys get the third for 1c!

Im off to do some pureeing

[Patooties]

renee - re toys - The cause and affect type toys are great - they push a button and something pops up. Stackable cups - so you can build a tower and they can knock it over. You can make one using a formula tin. Just cut a hole in the lid and buy some plastic pegs (i used ones that don't have any hinges) they can put them inside - or just shake the tin, or hit the lid with a wooden spoon lol. Hannah likes playing her piano too. Have you got one of those activity tables? Hannah has one and she likes to pull herself up to it and push all of the buttons. by the way - strange dream!! did you eat chocolate before you went to bed!!??
gracie - woohoo about your vacuum cleaner. Maybe i need to buy a new vacuum cleaner to get me excited about doing housework!! lol.
hi noni - precious little princess - sitting up to burp

[reneenay]

Pizza & Coke LOL!! Im always having fruit-cake dreams haha

[Isadora]

Katie - I meant to say that I love Logan's new ticker pic. He is going to be a heart breaker one day! Ooh another teething bubba, if thats what it is? I never know at times either why Maddie gets upset!

Renee - Yep we turned ours around at 6 months and its so much easier. I forgot I have given Maddie chicken once weeks ago, but she was the same as Rory and didnt want it. Havent tried since. Its funny how Japanese tourists get excited over the smallest things, I always find them to be really lovely and gracious.

Noni - Hope the oral thrush clears up, teeth and thrush, nasty!! We have carpet and tiles, at least tiles & lino are easy to keep clean.
