hey alicia, can't beleive we're all around the same weight! haha! Kinda like the women who get AF around the same time because they hang out so much. argh, i talk crap dont i?! Cruz is a little champion!! What a great baby you have, lucky mummy! Theo doesn't nap anywhere near cruz. Today he had 2 naps, both 1 hr 15 each. Which im totally stoked about! very unusual! Normally i get the old 20 minute naps scattered throughout the day. He has 3 solid feeds a day. breakfast = toast/yoghurt/pureed fruit (depending on my mood), lunch = pureed fruit or vegies (today it was both, he was unusually hungry, lol), dinner - vegies. I often pack some cruskits or milk arrowroot biscuits in the nappy bag, as they keep him going if we're out and i don't have time to give him booby (mean aren't i?). He has probably around 5 boob feeds a day now, he has cut back since starting the solids properly. And im noticing the boob feeds he does have, are more of a feed feed... iykwim, rather than just a little slurp for the hell of it. haha! Dinner time is at 5:30. Bath immediately afterwards. But he doesn't go down for sleep until between 8:30 to 9:30. I think its hard for him to go down early because after ive done him, i then finish off our dinner, and feed us, then clean up. By the time i sit down with him and start relaxing its normally 8:00pm... so it takes a bit for us both to unwind.
He sleeps for a couple of hours, then wakes up and joins me in our bed... kinda a habit, oopsie!
The other night he slept from 9:00pm till 6:00am, then snoozed on off with me until 7:00am!!! No idea what i did differently, but i liked it! haha!!! But mind you his teeth are giving him hell atm, poor buggar!
sorry for the essay! lol! but you asked!

Been trying to mash theos vegies now, as opposed to puree', i dont want him to get too used to the puree. as kaili did and we had a lot of trouble giving her ANYTHING with a slight texture later on. (now she eats normally, obviously.. but i think she was about 16 months before getting to this point).

theo slipped his hand on the polished floor today and head butted a wooden play block, he now has the imprint of the block on his nose first injury of many.. but still feel sorry for the poor fella!

suz glad to hear everything is going well at your house. Maybe you could do a little bit of finger foods as well as the puree'd types?? best of both worlds, hehe. Thats what i've been doing. Works well for us. Theo has his dinner, then he will sit in the high chair and have some of our normal food too. last night it was a lamb cutlet bone (most of the meat cut off), and i kept loading up the spoon with mash vege and handing him the spoon. Messy as hell, but now i have my ikea high chair i'm in heaven! haha!

My sister left her vegas husband last night, i had to go and pick her up from a servo. He's such a nice guy, shes such a *****, haha! But she admits it, so what can ya do? So last night my sis slept in kailis bed and kaili slept in ours. Kaili woke up this morning and said, "Daddy, wheres Kylie?", "She's sleeping in Kaili's bed hunny", "oh... so she doesn't sleep with dad??" "no hunny... she doesn't sleep with daddy", lol!!! I cracked up!

love you all
