Jazz's farts are getting more stinky, she's worse than her dad now!!!
She isn't rolling over yet, should she be? She still hates tummy time but I try to do it for a short time a few times a day, she's trying to roll over and gets her head up higher.
My sister gave me her Jolly Jumper and Jazz loves it! I hang it from my bedroom door coz it is next to the lounge. I was at the other end of the hall, our house is open so I can see her from almost anywhere. She was stepping and trying to get to me. She gets so excited while she's bouncing around!
Getting more vocal giggles now, I've found something that unless she's in a bad mood always gets her laughing, I rub my nose on her bare belly while I'm changing her and make ba ba noises at the same time and she just goes nuts!
Counting down to Thursday!
Oh yeah, forgot to say. I have an interview and skills testing at a temping company on Tuesday. Wish me luck.
MJ rolled for the first time yesterday evening, of course she hasnt done it again since, but gets really annoyed as she knows she can now. WOO HOO - so Danni, no Jazz doesnt need to be doing it yet, many babies dont do it until later, like when they are 4 months, so dont worry.
Babies do things at different rates anyway, some are better at gross motor, or fine motor or language, some just sit and wtch, putting it all together in their heads and then all of a sudden do loads.
I wouldnt be concerned at all.
re the JJ - i thought they needed to be a bit older so they didnt get whiplash - not enought head support, i could be wrong thou
re-building the back porch today, hope the rain stays away, i really need my washing line back
Oh and decided not to go out tonight, MJ wont take the bottle and although i could go after her last feed, i would worry to much that she would wake.
I had a call from the lady from day care. She's had Tuesdays open up so Jazz is starting on Tuesday instead of Thursday. That works out really well coz I have a very busy day on Tuesday with the interview and other things. But then in August there is 5 weeks of Tuesdays that she already promised to another lady so I will either have to make other arrangements if I'm working or not work on Tuesdays then. But at that same time Mondays come available and by the end of the year we'll be able to have her in care Mon-Thurs which will be good.
Keep your fingers crossed girls hubby went for a job interview on Friday they rang as son as they got his cv and also rang a reference before they even rang him hope it turns out.
Will is still sleeping through the night though manages to get his hands out of his wrap every night at 4am *L* he is still asleep and happily lets me wrap him back up and goes back to sleep..
Big belly laughs happening now too and is ticklish under his arms. He's been rolling over for a while now and the last couple of days sits bolt upright on my lap with no support when we read books of a night. I feel the whole thing flashing before my eyes he has grown so very much I have loved every minute of having him and can understand why people keep going back and back I wish my body would stand up to a a large family I really do.Have uploaded new pics in gallery.
Its freezing here a proper winters day with lite sleet.am loving it .

Hubby and I went out last night and his parents looked after DJ. I so needed the night out so it was good. I missed him but knew he was in good hands. DJ is now full-time on formula and I feel so much happier in doing it. I got really emotional last night when out with friends feeling like a failure for giving it up but they just reminded me that I need to do what is best for me and bub. Doni is feeding DJ at the moment so it is good to feel that I am not the only food provider
doh I can't remember what was on the other thread.....
SJ - great news about Molly rolling over for the first time, that is very exciting.
Danni - good luck for your interview on Tuesday.
Well girls, off to relax with my hubby and DJ - just watching foxtel tonight.
Work was ok today, summy was happy and i got DH to bring her to me about an hour and half before i finished so i fed her and all was good didn't bother making a bottle for DH to give her, all my girls didn't like having a bottle to begin with i don't want to give her formula and seeing as though i only work 4 or 5 hours i can manage it hopefully, not that i have anything against formula i just want to bf for as long as poss as this is my last bubba.
LOL on leaving your keys SJ i am really really forgetful at the moment i have so many things happening i am scared of leaving Summy somewhere hehe. This morning when i left i took my car with bub seat when i was meant to take DH's car so had to turn around then i left again and forgot to get my work keys off my keyring then left again and found the dog up the end of the street so had to bring her home DOH!!
Glad you had a nice night shell and don't feel bad for FF you need to do what is right for you motherhood is full of guilt unfortunately if it isn't about feeding its about something else you're doing a great job so it doesn't matter what sort of feed it is.
Bron good luck to hubby on the job sounds promising. We did the soccer rounds today and it is Tahnie's birthday so i gave her pressies and gave her money to spend at Toys r us on whatever she wanted she is such a girl and loved the shopping so much. She turned 5 what a big girl seems like yesterday she arrived in the middle of moving from the south coast. Tomorrow i am going to look at a horse.
Summy rolls from back to tummy nearly every time she is put down now and is trying to sit up i swear when you want them to be a baby for as long as possible they do things faster but when you want them to do something they take forever!! She is a giggle monster too and she would quite happily have me talk to her all day. Bought her a cute toy today, it is a soft banana thingy that you can hang and you can peel the sides down which are crinkly and mirrors on the feet (i hope you understood that) but anyways she just loves it, she isn't really into any toys so glad i found it.
