Cally, Alister has done that a few times now and it worries us more than it does them. If the teeth look fine and can't be wobbled etc, then it's fine. It's hard to get a good look at it though when they hurt their mouth.
Pregpan, awww thanks hun It's been a long time since you've been away. You have to have another holiday so I can live vicariously through you again
Arte, sounds like Will has really turned a corner with his sleep. LOL at him getting the speed wobbles.
Noni, *YAY* for Asha's great sleep! Peanut allergies may not present for months after the first exposure. When I had Lindsay he was having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch at 12mths and I didn't even think about it, but I *know* a lot more now kwim? She will probably be fine with it. Alister has had a pillow for months now and it made a difference to him too.
Hi Babysocks. Alister has been walking for nearly 6wks now. Alister's not eating a lot of family foods as we are still having issues with sleep from some foods, so we are just taking it slowly. I haven't had a fussy eater yet LOL so I'm not concerned at this point.
G, I haven't had A weighed by our MCHN in ages either! I hope the new one is better. I think I'll book Alister in when he's 12mths.
Marydean, Awww, poor DH. I can imagine how hard it must be for him I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
AFM - The prodigal Brass Monkey has returned LMAO. I think we are having the coldest weather this year ATM. I have a heap of washing to do, but I can only do the essentials and put it in the dryer because it is just coming over with misty rain every now and then and nothing will dry.
I have to go to school assembly today too and the place they hold it is sooo cold in winter. I will have to really rug up LOL.
Cally, if the teeth are moving at all, take her in to see a dentist. Gosh their mouths bleed a lot, don't they, it always looks like so much more blood than anywhere else. Always a very spectacular injury LOL. I hope she's feeling ok when she wakes up, might be a bit puffy around the mouth?
BBL for personals everyone, just having a quick read when I'm supposed to be packing up the care parcel!
Cally - OUCH poor Katie!!! Glad she is sleeping ok, i reckonthey let you know if something really hurts.... must have been scary for you!
Sherie - we are off to Bali at the end of the month - i cant wait. it is only a week though, so i will prob unwind just in time to wind up again. am looking for where to go for xmas/ny this year - we need a good break. i am thinking maybe sth coast for a week and then melbourne for a week or so...
MD - what's going in the care pack?
Carepacks - usually contain: note/picture from DD and a card from moi, his favorite telly shows burnt to DVD (esp the motor racing!!), some snacks (usually savory, like popcorn, nuts, pastry twistie things), photos, and we also put in things that are related to what we're doing, eg when DD1 and I saw Shrek 3 last year we sent him a box of shrek Frootloops LOL! It was more of a big deal last year but this year he can go out to the shops and they have lots of Australian stuff there.
I tried putting my finger in to see if the teeth wobble but she wouldn't let me. I gave her a bit of cruskit after swimming and she crunched that off without any trouble.
Pregpan - if you want to go to the sth coast over Christmas you better book now - the good places book out very quickly.
Swimming was cold today - we had a substitute teacher and she didn't know how to turn the heater on for the pool. It was 28 (normally 32). Usually we hang around afterwards for freetime during the next lesson but we were all out before the next class got in!
hi ladies! it's been more than a month since i've been able to get on here and i will not even try to catch up reading. i have enough trouble trying to catch up after a couple of days.
progress notes on max....she's walking...not very steady but definitely walking and not just cruising. has weetbix with fruit for breakfast and whatever family meal for lunch and dinner. vegemite sandwiches are a hit. down to 3 bottles a day. sleep is still an issue. still no continuous sleep for us. and the past week or so, it's been "wake up for 1.5-2 hours" in the middle of the night type of wake up. don't really know what's wrong with that one. now has 4 teeth...2 top and 2 bottom.
cally, wouldn't have jumped in the pool without the heater on. brrrrr....
now i'm being reminded again why i haven't been on. she's standing by my leg and screaming to be picked up. before i started typing, she was happy to play by herself. gotta run.
fianne- i was wondering where you had got to. welcome back, congrats on max walking. how fantastic! a lot of the girls in my mothers group are more advanced than the boys, is that very common? i'm not too sure!
cally- ouchies, hope she's ok! swimming sounds cold grrrr. it's so cold dowm here atm. we've decided to skip swimming for this term (lewis has been too sick to go anyway) and i'm kind of happy about that! looking forward to getting back to it in summer though.
md- ooohhh i want a care package! it reminds me of on the 'biggest loser' when they get their little box from home and everyone ends up bawling their eyes out, even me!!! dp laughs his head off at me. i hope your dh loves his package.
sherie- ikwym about the cold. it is absolutely freezing here. makes me not wanna do anything!
pregpan- yes dp let lewis touch the snow. he grabbed a big chunk and chucked it straight in his mouth. i was having images of in 'dumb and dumber' when that guy got his tongue stuck to the ice! ouch!
bali sounds nice
arte- your stories fill me with hope of sleep!!!
yes i didn't realise that feeding to sleep was going to become this much of an issue. i thought it was an eay and quick way to get them to sleep pain-free. i didn't realise it caused night wake-ups.
i saw that teeth powder in the local health food shop- i'll have to grab some next time i'm out that way.
noni- i'll have to jump on fb and check out your pics.
well, the mchn visit went very well. she is so much better than my old mchn. she is thorough and non judging and actually made helpful suggestions instead of just telling me about tizzie hall!
she has strongly suggested i give the koo wee rup sleep school a ring. apparantely they work on attachment theory and are very helpful in helping the baby learn to sleep longer periods- no cc required! i've called them and i'm waiting for someone to call me back for a chat.
apparantely there's about a 5 week wait, so it wouldn't hurt me to book in and see what happens over the enxt month and then make a decision iykwim?
mchn also advised me not to wean lewis. she thinks tandem feeding is great and would work much better in my situation. dp is getting sick of all the conflicting advice i keep coming home with, but i think i'm going to give tandem feeding a try. i just don't feel ready to wean yet.
now if only i can get him to sleep a bit longer, all my troubles will be over!!
It's been a long time since you've been away. You have to have another holiday so I can live vicariously through you again
I nearly hyperventilated when I read that your lekkie blanket wasn't working! I would die without mine ATM LOL - it is sooo cold here and when DH is on nights I put his side on too because it's too cold still otherwise.
