Saffi - woo hoo to M crawling AND standing I'm glad you were able to catch it all on tape! Hope you had a nice time at the baby shower/pamper session!
Koru - yay to Orla for bunny/hobbling too Sounds very cute!
Willow - I hope you start getting some more sleep soon I can relate, Moo may go to bed at 6pm but he sure doesn't sleep all night. The other night he was up 4 times And lately I've had to resort back to rocking him to sleep for all sleeps, but am secretly enjoying the cuddles Sorry I'm not much help with food at the moment, Moo refused to eat for the last week! But I do find Robyn Barker a good source of info.
TT - I really hope your brother gets over in time for the big event.
Issy - way to go Lochie with the cruising Good luck with the childcare visits.
Been a bad week here! Moo has been refusing all solid foods which has really stressed me out. Just when I was at the end of my tether today he suddenly wanted FOOD and LOTS of it! What a relief Don't know what that was all about but am glad it's over.

Thanks girls, we've popped another two teeth and thankfully sleep has returned to normal and he is back to one quick feed a night. I can totally handle that
Willow _ wahoo on the two more teeth! Glad to see the sleep pattern has got better! We eat the same kinda things, baby cereal, then will have snacks (fruit, yogurt or rice cracker thingys) lunch is s'wishes she loves them! Loves vegemite :-D another snack time... And then dinner is what we're having mostly. cut finely or mashed.
Cheezel - No wonder you were stressed, how horrible {hugs} Glad to hear he is back eating :-)
Misty - I get ya!
Issy - Wahoo on lockie walking around the funiture :clapclap:
saffi yay on crawling :-) Fun times ahead!
tippi - Did your brother get out of the UK okay?
AFM - Eli is just growing up tooo fast! She can now stand up unassisted and walks off. I tell you it is sooooo weird watching eli come and walk down my hall way! she is such a hoot to play with, Daddy and her have a special game they play were he gets on his hands and kneeds and goes behind the wall and goes RAHHH then she'll go Ahhh and come running to me, laughing, then he goes back behind the wall so she walks/crawls after him and they do it again! Very cute! But we have learnt mummy can't do it! My Rahhh just ain't good enough she just sits there and looks a bit shocked as if to say thats dad's job!
She survived my two weeks of placment (I have a thread about placement in wahoo) the expressing + feeding boosted my supply so am waiting for it too slow down again LOL . . . Eli has 4 teeth now, two top and two bottom! And omg hurts when she bites down!!!
I really must go, need to go do my grocery shopping, but really trying to advoid it LOL
Had a little sad moment the other day, when DP said no more babies :-( He'll buy me a puppy instead... I kno i said i don't want anynmore... and i know i don't want any right now... But 5 years down the track i can't be sure that i won't... Does that make sence... I just can't see myself never being pregnant again, never giving birth again, never getting those first cuddles or smell awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Willow - what's the teeth count now? Don't have any suggestions with food as you are way ahead of me. Actually you have given me some inspiration. Cass - how many kids would be your ideal number? Sometimes I think another would be nice but realise I have my hands full with the 2 I have and work etc. My biological clock is also ticking loudly...... Cheezel - glad that Moo is back eating. The pamper session was lovely. We all agreed that we should do it again sometime. My mother's day present will be some sort of beauty salon voucher so I don't have too long to wait until my next pampering. Issy - I found a dream feed equals sleeping through too. The last few nights she has slept until 5 or 6am.
AFU - M is crawling about everywhere and pulling herself up. DH is going to have to lower the mattress in the cot as she is pulling herself up on it! She is also a major squirmy bub on the change table. I've got used to DS who just lies there now. I could really do with an extra two arms to pin her down.
Nothing much else happening. Have an eye infection at the moment so I look dreadful with a red swollen eyelid. Had to go to an after-hours Dr today. Don't these things always happen on a long weekend?
Cass - I didn't realise that your boys are from your DH's previous relationship(?) You never know what the future will hold. Maybe he will have a change of heart?!?!?!
Off to a zoo today with the kids, taking advantage of the public holiday. Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.
Hi everyone! Sorry I've been so slack and not been in here . Three kids makes it hard to sit down long enough to type a decent post!
Saffi - M sounds like she's doing so well! I have to think about lowering the cot mattress too, Alana is doing the same thing. It's so cute to see them standing up smiling at you when you go in isn't it?! I hope your eye clears up quickly .
MummeNurse - Wow, I am blown away that Eli can walk That's amazing!! And you sound like you have been SO busy, well done on doing a great job
Willow - D is a teething machine LOL! I'm so glad he is back to sleeping well again . Thanks for helping keep me sane the past week .
CheezelMonster - That must have been so stressful when your DS was refusing food. Was he unwell or could he be teething? My boys used to go off food for a while when they were teething.
Issy - Wow @ Lochie cruising! They are growing up too fast these babies! I hope the warm bottles have continued to improve his sleep!
Koru - Yay for Orla crawling! Good luck going back to uni, good on you!
Misty - Baz sounds like a very talented little guy! I hope you are filming it all!!
TT - How is work going?
AFU - Alana is going well although she has a bit of a cough atm. She's crawling so fast everywhere these days and she pulls herself up on everything. She is a NIGHTMARE to dress! She will not lie still and will roll over, try and pull herself up and complain at me. It's so frustrating! She's still a happy little thing, but is going through a separation anxiety phase atm. She loves to chat, give high fives and can wave, so cute! She also loves to put her head down and snuggle soft toys, it's so sweet to watch!
Our main problem with Alana is that she HATES the car . She will scream and cry after a short time and long trips are a nightmare. It took us 3 hours to get home from our Easter trip (due to bad traffic) and she was hysterical the whole time. When I got her out she was saturated from sweating. We have been planning a 6 week caravanning trip over to WA in September/October, but we are having second thoughts now. I don't fancy putting her (or us) through that for such a long period. I'm so dissapointed. I think we may have to wait another year when she's 2 years old and can be entertained easily in the car.
Saffi - we have 6 teeth now, another two showing but not yet through.
Trish - Awww, I know you were so looking forward to your trip! Do you think there's a chance she could improve between now and September? They can change so quickly. But I understand there's a lot of planning involved and just 'waiting and seeing' probably wouldn't be ideal! How much does she weigh now? Any chance that you might be able to face her forward soon-ish? I know it's not ideal but I do know some babies settle in the car once they are facing forward.
Issy/Saffi - Are you giving EBM in a bottle or formula?
I'm glad you were able to catch it all on tape! Hope you had a nice time at the baby shower/pamper session!
Sounds very cute!
I can relate, Moo may go to bed at 6pm but he sure doesn't sleep all night. The other night he was up 4 times
