hey everyone just a quick one coz i am getting lunch ready..
how much do bubs eat now? i know i ask this all the time but asha really eats alot of food! sometimes more than myself or dp.. should i be worried about it? will a baby of her age over eat? for example yesterday for breakfast she had rockmellon a piece of toast and a cheese stick then morning tea she had a sweet bun because someone came to visit and brought them lunch she had spagetti oopsthen some of my noodles in the afternoon probably around 2 awroot biscuits and dinner she had chicken and vegie fingers (3) and peas and corn and then when we were having our dinner she was still trying to steal things from our plate.. do you think she is overeating? some days she will eat even more than this and she is still having 3 bottles.. what do you guys think shes quite a big girl and i am worried i am over feeding her?
hi noni! max has 1 weetbix with about 4 tsps of puree fruit for breakfast, about 3/4 of those big jars of baby food during lunch and dinner (that's approx. since it's usually home food rather than jar), maybe an inch or so of banana, couple of rice crackers or arrowroot bikkies, 2x200ml and 1x250 ml bottle a day. oh, there'd be some more snacking in between....like, if we were having steak or something, she'll have a strip or 2 to gnaw on....eat maybe 1 strip worth.
but then, another friend's bub who's prob 2weeks older eats a whole big jar at lunch/dinner and has almost half banana, other fruits, other finger foods like boiled/steamed vegies, and a whole lot more. he's more than 10K. bday on the 26th of sep....so 10 1/2 mos?
Marydean, the original WW book does have a duck in it - really cute one too. But 'tis a doosy to make LOL - its a 3D one. I can scan it and email to you if you didn't have the book yourself. Re the comforter, I'm not keen on Alister developing any attachments as Paige still has her blankie and I reckon at this rate I'll be stitching the bloody thing into her wedding dress LMAO. But ever since sleeping with my nighty he has taken to carting it around the house and look out if you try to take it off him. So now I hide it so he can't find it.
Fianne, when she points to something, just keep saying what it is called like "here's your drink/toy/whatever" and use words with her all the time.
AFM. Alisters Big Thing now is to go outside. He will go and get one of his gumboots (they are so cute LOL - used to be Paiges but she was nearly 2yo when she wore them) and stand at the back door. I can see summer being a pain in the neck as our backdoor is open all the time, and the screen door comes open really easy and there isn't a latch on it as such. Me thinks I might have to invest in one though or otherwise he will be escaping all the time. He is all well again though.
G that's great news about L being on the front cover. Will it be national or just VIC? I will have to go to spotlight when I am in wagga next and grab one.
hi ladies! does anyone have any suggestion on having nappy free time now that max is mobile without leaving having a mess?
max has got this extremely bad nappy rash (again). the pain she's in just breaks my heart everytime i change her. makes me want to cry. i want to take her pain.
trillian, A sounds so cute. must be so good for the kids to have a big backyard to play in.
btw, on risotto, have you ladies tried baked risotto? really quite good and no standing in front of the stove for half an hour or so stirring continuously. it's just rice and stock in ovenproof dish covered tightly with al foil. pop it in the oven. take it out, add stuff (recipe i was using had prawns). pop it back in. take it out and add the "other stuff" (artichokes, parmesan cheese, butter, lemon zest). and voila! got it from donna hay magazine. if anyone wants the actual measurements (ingredients) and stuff, let me know and i'll send it on.
oops! sorry for double post. don't know how to delete. ;(

i am soooo tired!! asha is still sleeping through but its been so cold lately i cantget her to go down in her cot.. not sure if thats why i am tired or not she only slept through two nights in her cot anyway.. its probably just iron or something... supposed to be going to a friends house today for a "mothers meeting" lol just myself my friend and her sister and their kids i know i should go coz asha really likes being around other kids but i am just so tired and lazy lately idk if i can be bothered lol..
fianne - have u got a place outside you could put max for nappy free time? apart from that i just try and keep asha off the rug and on the wooden floor part so its easier to clean lol. maybe its the birthday lol asha was born on the 26th as well lol and just eats and eats and eats lol..
sherie - thats so cute little A with the gumboots Asha really loves going outside too and will be escaping as soon as she can open the door!
Noni, that sucks that you are so tired. Maybe it is worth a trip to the doc to get your iron checked?
Fianne, hope you can get the nappy rash sorted quickly, sounds painful. I don't have any advice for nappy free time - Will climbed into his ball pit and had a wee the other day lol
Sherie, W keeps bringing me his jacket with a hopeful look and then stands by the door. I feel so mean when he can't go out. It is meant to snow again this weekend. I have been letting him play on the deck but soon he will figure out the steps.
MD, sounds like E is on the verge of saying heaps of things! So exciting
Rainy, what was your 'try hard' name? I guess Ruby, Scarlett, Lily, Rose, basically all the pretty names are out lol. Jodie is a lovely name Does your DP come up with anything or just shoot down what you suggest? I will be triple checking any future names after my Willy Rod **** near miss lol
Ange, how is the morning sickness going? I hope it is easing for you.
Cally, how is K's bump? Hope she hasn't had any more accidents
Kate, heaps of people feed to sleep but no one talks about it when they are this big lol
We saw some sheep and lambs in a paddock yesterday, there was a little hand reared lamb that came to the fence saying Baaa, W was pointing at them all saying 'Neiiighh' lol, I think he is a bit confused
The week of accidents has continued - yesterday she pulled the tray from her highchair (it was hanging on hooks at the back) and it landed on her toe. The nail went all purple, but later in the day she must have knocked it because there was blood all over her sock, but her toe was back to normal. So we've had 3 lots of blood in 4 days, whereas previously I don't think we had any!
MD - my mum made the duck from WW many years ago. It had chips for its beak and popcorn for the feathers. I must go and get the current cookbook and work out what we are making. Our bday invites went out yesterday and they have a duck on them.
Fianne - I haven't been brave enough to do nappy free time in this weather, let alone the fact she can wander all over the carpet (which was cleaned 3 weeks ago). At least in summer we can put them outside and let them go crazy! (with a bit of sunscreen on)
SupaB - finally have caught up on McLeods so saw you yesterday. It must have been weird seeing yourself pregnant again after all this time!
Pregpan - how's it going at your place?
Rainy and MM - I think DH tends to write his lesson plans down at the end of the lesson once he knows what they discussed!
MD - we have the one giraffe toy that is for bedtime, but there are 3 of them (one for Canberra). I know KMart still has them so I am tempted to get another one for childcare. I just got the same little cheap thing so I could get plenty (she has some lovely other animals but they are all a bit 'good' to be chucked through the wash regularly).
Noni - hopefully you can catch up on some sleep over the weekend.
Have had a lot of early starts this week - she is waking about 5:45, I feed her then she sleeps for another 45mins - 1.5 hours. On the upside she is waking up in a good mood more often, but on the downside I am feeling pretty tired. And I thought it would be easier when she slept all night!
Off to get the groceries today. Am going to make homemade hamburgers for dinner tonight with wedges. Yum.
Does your DP come up with anything or just shoot down what you suggest? I will be triple checking any future names after my Willy Rod **** near miss lol
