Eluned - Z's have settled down a bit i am giving her the multigrain breakfast now and pears at lunch.
Illey - well done on surviving teh trip, sounds like you guys had a ball, she will get back into a normal routine again for you soon i'm sure.
Am going to start Z on banana and avocado for lunch to mix it up a bit.
Jenni13 - ohhh Freya would be so cute, my Z would look lanky compared to her she's only 1cm shorter but only 6.6kg.. lol i love little chubba bubba's though, they are so damn cute.
How is everyone else going with solids etc now? Z is a pig and LOVES her food, so much so i am thinking of introducing some meat a bit early, the health nurse said b/w 7-9mths BUT as she's eating 3meals already there should be no harm, am thinking i will steam some chicken keep it nice and moist and make like a past with avocado and maybe even do some mince.... wont be doing chicken mince though it always seems to go tough and A would never eat it when she was younger.
Yesterday was CR@P day, Ava fell down the stairs cos she was being stupid and dancing, some woman pulled out in front of me driving home from MG and i was 2cm from t-boning her and then last night A's roof started to leak so she slept in our room, Z's teeth were playing up so by 12 she was in our room too but slept from 12 til 5 on A's fold out couch beside my bed... ahhhhhhhhh
I forgot how much time preparing food for a little one can take up and with Ava constantly eating i feel i'm never out of the kitchen.
Hows everyone going with rolling, sitting etc now?
Z wont roll, she can but she wont.. she sits though so i think she's going to be like A and just SIT until she figures out how to crawl..
zarava I hope A's day settles down now! poor thing was in the wars it seems!!
Well, jackson is rolling around like there is no tomorrow now, he started on sunday night and there is just no stopping him! He can sit as well but I still put something behind him in case he flops. He's pushed himself up on his knees a few times too, but I'm hoping crawling is awhile away yet. OH! And we have the very tippy corner of a tooth popping out. Eep! It's all happening quiet fast over here!
AND we FINALLY got some solids into him! Sweet potatoe. The rice cereal just wasn't going to happen so we moved straight to the real stuff and he LOVED it. IT was so cute seeing him all covered in orange too. However, I'm not looking forward to the next poo nappy XD
Freya seemed a bit constipated today....was it mabey the mince? first time and everything?
Is coconut thought of as a allergy food? I gave DD a taste of coconut icing today (naughty i know lol ) she didnt have any reaction apart from wanting more lol....just got me thinking
illey, glad to hear the trip went well! Sorry to hear about the weaning, are you ok with how it's turned out? At the very least fantastic effort on making it this far!
ZF, poor Ava!! how's she doing? Is she better?
Party of 5 - woohoo on the toothiepeg!!
Teagz, go Jackson! Looks like he's going to be keeping you on your toes in no time!
Jennie, I'm on FB. PM me for details. I didn't think coconut was an allergy risk food.
AFM, Amelia is loving her food. In order to beef her up, we have been on 3 meals a day for the past week or so including meat for the protein and fats. She's been having mainly casseroles, spaghetti bolognese and cottage pie. She's loving her veggies too. Have decided the Rafferty's Garden porridge is making her poos hard. We cut it out for a couple of days and they went back to how they should be, then I gave it to her again yesterday and this morning and they were hard again. So now just have to find something else to give her for breakfast. Might try her on some yoghurt tomorrow morning. She's had bread as well so could do toast. She lunges and tries to grab anything I've got in my hand. Today we were at my nieces birthday party (movies and mcdonalds) and I was eating a chicken wrap and she grabbed at that. She almost got some in her mouth, lucky it was only that pitta bread wrap stuff! She went to her first movie today - the new Shrek one in 3D. She didn't actually watch it, just fed and then slept in my arms or layed on my lap. DS loved it, it was his first 3D movie but he fell asleep in my arms too by the end of it. He was so knackered, he fell asleep on the couch at 6:30 tonight. He's starting to drop his day sleeps so he's dead tired by the end of the day.
Eluned - PM'd you. It sounds like you give your DD quite a variety....im a bit lost on the creativity side of things! you say casserole's, spag bog, and cottage pie (omg like my fav!) im guessing you make it yourself? how do u do it for your DD? does she have they same as you, but just pureed? I have given Freya a heap of different veg, fruit, lite jelly, and tried her on mince the other day which she enjoyed.....but now im lost on how to expand her menu
Thanks everyone Ava seems fine, the fall down the stairs didn't seem to bother her, she has a slight bruise on her head but thats all, the little feral was still running round like a freak and climbing the stairs like normal. She's an odd child, she walks up them with her hand on the wall or rail and the same coming down.. i wish she would crawl on them but NO WAY!
Jennie13 - i am on FB PM me if you like, i don't think coconut is on a high reaction list but then i'm not 100% sure. it's great she didn't have a reaction though.
Teagz - Jackson is such a clever little man, can you send him round here to teach Z... she will sit but wont roll.. Ava did the same and refused to roll even though she could and just crawled at 10mths.
So glad he likes the sweet potato
Eluned - so glad Amelia is loving her food, i should be more game and give Z some of the stuff we eat but A had reactions on 2 seperate occasions and although her allergy tests have come back clear i am still cautious with Z... although she eats a lot.. she LOVES milk arrowroot biscuits, ate an entire one the other day.
Poor Z has conjunctivitis, am hoping the drops will clear it by lat today, early tomorrow though as we have her cousins birthday party on sunday!
Eluned- Interesting that the Rafferty's Garden gave DD hard poos. Which one were you using? We use the purple one. DD1 had rafferty's garden too and I thought the purple one tasted better than the green! You do so well with what you give her for tucker! We are just starting to explore veg in our cereal at night. I am going to be "brave" and try some pears for brekky this morning! It's funny how two kids are so different. We had DD1 on a whole lot more at this age. Well done on the movie too
Zarava- I just finished looking at your latest pics. The girls look like such good mates in the making there. Did you have a better nights sleep last night?
Teagz- Look out! J will be off and roaring in no time! Have you turned his seat around in the car? How did he go if you did?
Illey- I am jealous of your QLD getaway. I could happily live there. In fact Darwin is my place of choice too How is Caroline going? Are you still going to try the breastfeeding or has she completely weaned?
Trace- Hmmmm how many Jovi concerts are you going to here in Oz? I think Maddie has no choice in her music tastes does she? How is she going with her sleeping in her cot?
Hello to everyone else. Bun are you there? Is all ok?
How many sleeps is everyone's bubs having at the moment? I get roughly 3 naps a day out of DD2. Although it depends. She very occassionally has a decent sleep in the middle of the day so that leaves 3 sleeps but she mainly goes down for 1 sleep cycle at a time. I remember DD1 was down to 2 sleeps a day at this age. Oh they are so different!
i had actually changed my mind and decided to wait til he hit the middle range of 10 kgs'... but DH, being the doting and excitable father that he is... chnage the seat forward facing while i wasn't around. He hasn't been in it yet... but I shall let you know how it goes.
