The CD's are great - I need to get DH to put them in iTunes because I have no idea.
Had our first meal in ages at lunch today which didn't end up all over the floor - pear, banana and cruskit with cream cheese. She gobbled it down. And the steamed apple at dinner was a hit after her mornay.
Ange, hope you are feeling better. Glad you don't have to take the medication any more, that must be quite a concern. I was testing for mercury and heavy metals until I found out I was pg at 6 weeks, I was a bit worried about it.
Noni, hope Asha settles down quickly and has a good night for you soon. Hopefully she will be happy again once those teeth are through.
Pregpan, just saw your other thread, W has had baked beans quite a few times. I didn't even consider that they might be hard to digest He seems to be fine with them though. Although a serve for him would be a few teaspoons, I think N is a bigger eater?
MD, did the toothfairy manage to make it to H last night? So cute that E recognised her dad on the phone.
Clare, bugger about the never ending tonsillitis. Are there any natural remedies that you could try?
Trill, hope your hives have cleared up
Rainy, how is L's sleeping? Hope you are getting enough rest
Is anyone else's bub dropping down to one day nap? The past few days W has decided he only needs one day sleep. It is now 1.30 and he isn't even looking tired yet. He would usually have a nap at 11am and 3.30pm for 1.5 hours each but since he slept well the other night (not repeated) he doesn't seem to need it. He already only had one nap on playcentre days (twice a week) so I guess it is just a natural progression. Hoping it will lead to better sleeps at night.
He did the cutest thing the other day and I have to share lol. I said 'we will get our jackets on and go for a ride in the pram' and he looked around and disappeared behind a chair and came out with his jacket! Now I tell him to get his jacket on and he goes and gets it and hands it to me, sooo cute.
Yeah Arte- there is something going on with day sleeps here too. I am lucky to get 1/2 hour in the morning, but still getting 1.5hrs in the arvo. The good news is she is doing 7pm - 6.30am pretty regularly now. Thank goodness.
Feeling much, much better not to be taking meds not recommended during pregnancy!
Cally- food time here is sooooo messy. On the floor, all over the high chair, in her hair. She's a grot! Having homemade tomato sauce and toasted cheese sangas as we speak. Seem to be going down well!
I'm off to chinese Dr for some acupuncture this arvo. Should be nice and relaxing. DH was been a champ, has cleaned the house from top to bottom this morn. while i slept. Feel so lazy but on strict resting orders.
Arte, that's gorgeous! I can just picture him doing that. Alister will sometimes have two sleeps and other times only 1 it depends really.
The hives are still here, but I have some cream that I can rub into them to ease the itching so I don't have to take as much phenergan. When I was in the chemist the pharmacist said it could take a few weeks to clear - thankfully it isn't summer - my legs look so awful.
Alister is getting very speedy now with his walking and a lot more confident. He hasn't crawled in ages. He was so cute at Baby Bounce yesterday because he would walk around, come back, have a sing and then off he'd go again LOL.
forgot almost everything from the other thread though LOL! i am soo vague.
Arte: yeah leila is kinda dancing on the precipice of not wanting 2 sleeps. she has a brief morning one (if we are lucky) then a big arvo one...last couple of days has been for 3 hours!
OMG W is so cute! his comprehension is fantastic!
Ange: glad to see that you are feeling better. some harrowing moments back there no doubt!
Sherie: i too am glad that it's not summer...cause i am soo not into shaving my legs ATM!! LOL! although will have to spare the ladies at L's swim class on monday...better get out the chainsaw...
AFM: well the saga known as tonsilitis has intensified. the dr was unhappy with it resisting the penicilin. so now i am on daily pen injections for the next week!! at $50 a pop, i am not happy. also, i just dont feel that comfortable with the idea of so much toxin in my system. although today is seeing some improvement. just feeling dizzy though...
Leila on the other hand is (thankfully) doing great guns. she has a 'boyfriend' at kindy called Max, and they are just too cute playing together. he is a bit of bruiser and is almost double her size and yet is really gentle with her (meanwhile he bashes up the other kids! LOL!).
