So at the usual time Alex is put down to bed in his nappy and light gro-bag because it's hot. He probably wriggles a bit but doesn't protest so I leave him and he goes off to sleep on his own. I go to bed a bit later but find it hard to sleep as it's hot and the curry I had for dinner is giving me heartburn.
Eventually drop off after putting the air con on. Wake up a couple of hours later because Alex is grunting and wriggling in his bed, a precursor to yelling and complaining. So I pick him up to go feed him - he's soaked. His gro-bag is wet and cold. So we go into the change room and I unzip his gro-bag...he'd somehow wriggled his leg out of a still fastened huggies nappy, it's just hanging off the other leg with his bum completely bare!
While my half asleep befuddled brain tries to process this and I grab another nappy, he firehoses me square in the chest. I duck, grabbing for a towel and he decides to wriggle, turning the stream that had been hitting the wall into a sprinkler until I manage to get the towel over him and eventually a new nappy on...
Mollie that sounds scary I'm glad Aubree is so much better Wow Lilly is lagging behind she is still in 000 haha only just recently graduated to them.
Ok so we didnt do the dream feed, Lilly has been having toothypeg troubles these last few nights and has been chewing her dummy like there is no tomorrow and it took her so long to get to sleep I didnt want to bother her again. I think I'll try it later as it only worked twice as from then on she wouldnt drink much and woke later on anyway. I put her to bed at 8pm, she woke at 4am fussing so I gave her a feed and put her back to bed, she woke at 6:30 fussed and then went back to sleep on her own till 7:30, when we started fussing more so I got her up and gave her a feed and a play. She is back in bed now.
Looks like she is an early bird I find though she cant stay awake longer than an hour before she gets super cranky tired, so it makes going out places hard. I'm guessing I will just have to wait till she is older to go out more? She also now seems to hate her car seat and screams in it.. no idea why.

It's a bit surprising for me because DD was a petite bubba and didn't graduate to 000 until about 3 months. Alex is a boofa by comparison
Have spent the morning rearranging and organising his bedroom. Moved his change table back in there instead of in the room next to ours because I usually can get away without changing him overnight (except for in cases of last night's shenanigans ) and organised his toys into those he can play with now and those that are just a little old for him yet. Need to get him a toybox or shelf of some kind eventually - he has soooo many toys already from Christmas that if I don't get a handle on them soon they're going to take over the house!
Crikey Mollie that's some scary few days you've had!!! I would have been a complete mess..
CK that's hilarious.. You know i've got two boys but never been pee'd on but they certainly made up for it in the vomit department.
Abby has only recently grown into 000 as well and I can see she'll be in the bassinet till 4 months.
I was looking at the formula tin today and Abby should be moving up to 200mls per feed but she can barely have 150mls still guess some babies just aren't big eaters.
DH has flown interstate this morning for 5 days, only found out lastnight so I've got the three kids to myself with no help... yikes!!
Yeah?!?
hope everything is ok Jan I would have been a mess too! Poor thing so much stress
Well the new dummys are a big hit, had to get something bigger for Lilly as the old ones were too small now with the toothypeg chomping. I got her the next size up in the avent ones and she loves them. Wew. It is so hard finding teething stuff for 2month olds ;( Lilly is doing really well with her sleeps. She needs the dummy but settles herself right down and spits it when shes asleep. Can't complain about that.
She has started angry babbling at me instead of crying latley! I was like OMG stop growing up so fast!
Lilly is like that Dan, overnight she seems hungriest taking almost the full 200ml bottle. During the day it varies from 100ml - 200ml depending on her mood. Eep at being along for 5 days with no help! I hope he comes back soon
Ck I've tried toys with Lilly, she is mildly interested. Mostly she likes books and being spoken and read too. Guess that is why I have a babbling monster atm? LOL
P.S Feeling alot better today, fingers crossed it gets better
Danni how on earth did you manage to get through raising 2 boys without being peed on at least once?? Must be some kind of record! I swear Alex is a sneaky rascal and waits for the precise moment my guard is down
Just found out my local book exchange has quite a good range of kids books - Alex loves being read to, so I'm planning on buying him a book a week. Better than small change kicking around in my purse.
ohhh for cheap books go to book depository dot co dot uk
Can not rave bout them enough! cheap books and free delivery
I am usually getting at least a book a week hehe
They accept paypal, and I consider the money I make off ebay that goes into my paypal, as not real money! so I spend it online hehe and that company gets a LOT of business from me!
I'm using Heinz nurture gold 1 for Abby and it states 2-4 months 200mls 5 times per day but Abby is lucky to have 150mls and most feeds I'm tossing out 20-30mls at least. Funny how different formulas state differing amounts.
Nikky can't believe you can pin back Zoe's fringe! Abby was born with a fair bit of hair but it 's really thinned out on top ATM.
CK I must be lucky to escaped no peeing from the boys hehe.. But as I said the baby vomit made up for it..
Lolpigs if Lilly is having teething trouble already have you thought about one of those Amber Necklaces for her? I have one for Abby but probably won't use I for another month at least but they do say to start putting it on them from 8 weeks.
Pee, poo, vomit - Alex has gotten me with all of them. Ah well, part of the joys I guess
Wow that's a lot of hair Zoe has Nikky! DD was bald as bald until she was nearly 1, Alex has a bit of fuzz on top and longer at the back (ha ha, I just realised it sounds like he has a mullet) but not enough to bother with a brush. He lost a fair bit on his sheets and on the insert of his ergo at first though.
Alex loved his new book tonight - cuddled in on my lap sucking on his hands and cooing while I read it to him, then had a little feed before laying his head on my chest and going straight to sleep.
) and organised his toys into those he can play with now and those that are just a little old for him yet. Need to get him a toybox or shelf of some kind eventually - he has soooo many toys already from Christmas that if I don't get a handle on them soon they're going to take over the house!
