I just buy the normal light one, i am normally really fussy about the amount of sugar and sodium in foods for the girls.. the sodium is higher in a cruskit but is very low in sugar.
Z is lucky to have 1 cruskit a day or every 2nd/3rd day so i am not overly fussed.. she can't eat much else at the moment so gotta keep her happy.
gggrrr just wrote a post and then hit something by accident and lost the lot, will have to come back later and rewrite it as the little munchkin is up now.
Hello everyone, how are we all, how are those gorgeous LO's going?
It's been a while so a quick update:
1. We got Z's allergy testing done - DAIRY ALLERGY confirmed and was borderline for eggs & nuts , but atleast we know now and we have been avoiding anything with dairy, no milk solids or anything in pre-cooked foods or biscuits etc.
She has also since had a reaction to banana so added that to the NO GO list.
She has to go back in a couple of months for re-testing, we carry an epi-pen with us everywhere we go and i have just bought stickers for her when we go to public parties etc that say I AM ALLERGIC PLEASE DO NOT FEED ME in bright red with a NO DAIRY symbol.
I am so glad i have BB to call no for recipes etc as i think she is wanting to start eating a lot more.
2. A turned 2 this month, she had a great party and she has been sharing all her new things with Z, she pushes her around in the car and plays blocks with her.. it's so cute.
3. Was meant to get Z weighed last wk but had to miss the appt, get her done on the 28th now but a couple of weeks back she wore a dress that Ava wore for her 2nd x-mas at 14mths old
She's still not crawling but is pulling herself up on things and just wants to stand at all the toys, she has gotten from sitting to on her knees and rocks so hopefully she's not far off. I am going to put her behind A's old walker bike and see how she goes, she might just get up and walk .. A didn't crawl til 10mths old so i'm not worried.
She loves her food, at the moment chicken, mince, veg she loves pears she eats half a pear (not cooked) for breakfast with some toast, today she had a crumpet and she thought that was great, she loves rice cakes and i found dairy free little teddy bear biscuits for her.
I am going to try avocado again soon so she can have avocado on her rice cakes.
So how is everyone else going, all growing well i'm sure...
Zarava - good you have the allergy testing all behind you for now. dairy free is easier to manage these days with lots of alternatives! bummer re; the bananas! sob sob
C is crawling around everywhere and pulls herself up. She started off slow, a bit like a Sunday driver hehe but is now super fast (especiallyl when I catch her near something she shouldn't, she speeds up to get to it before I get to her giggling away ).
I offered her some weetbix this morning (the kids one) but she was not interested at all so vegemite on toast it was. I've been giving her her meat/veges for lunch and fruit/yoghurt for dinner because she's usually SO tired by late afternoon that she takes that much easier so that's working well. She has her two bottom teeth and one top tooth that's broken through but taking forever to come through entirely. She seems to cope well though with it all so that's good
She's SO vocal and NOISY, no words really (it does sound like she says UP though, she has said Mum and Dadada in the past but stopped those awhile ago so possibly were flukes!) she waves bye bye now so that's cute.
times flying - before long we'll be having first birthdays!!!
Z is pulling herself up on things and was 'bath surfing' last night, holding the edge and walking around, she will also walk with me holding her hands.. maybe she's going to skip crawling?
She goes from sitting to on her knees and is somehow getting around by shuffling everywhere but it's not at pace and she's still very frustrated... i wish she'd just crawl already...
A didn't crawl til 10mths so no idea why i'm so impatient this time round.. pmsl.
Good morning everyone. It's been awhile since I have been in here....
Well DD2 is now finally doing her own way of getting around. It is a perculiar comando crawl. She sort of drags herself around the floor with one arm and leg. She is sort of getting onto her knees but at least she is not as frustrated by being mobile now. We still only have two teeth. I reckon in the last week she has had a developmental change. She now has a few more facial expressions and can wave etc. She is a chatterbox who will say bubba and dadda regularly and also has started to mimic our sounds too. I guess thats all here!
Hey girls, we're going good! Still plodding along but a bit quicker. Jack is really crawling now, has been for awhile and looks like a little bulldog when he does. It's the cutest thing! He gets some speed up too. He is also walking along furniture and just started climbing, namely the dogs bed. He's also really into opening and closing anything in the house that can open and close! I've been shut in the pantry And my cupboard a few times now!
Jacks also clapping, he plays "where's Jackson" by covering his face with his hands/bib/shirt and then surprising us he will also use anything as a phone when you go "hello hello hello" ( been watching daddy to much) and my fave, when you say "Doh" he slaps his hand to his foreheAd! Gosh it's cute! He's got 7 teeth now too, and one that's still trying to make it's mind up.
We are finally getting solids down now... Especially dinner. He loves his tea and gets quite demanding with it! Still loving his booby too, especially the last few nights where he's been waking 2-3 hourly for it! Hopefully that settles again soon tho.
So, we're all cruising along quite well over here! Hope everyone else is too!
jenjams - yay for getting around, it's brilliant isn't it.
Z is finally getting herself along the floor with this weird crawl (vid on FB) and is actually happy for me to leave her alone in a room now without screaming
At the moment she's saying Mum, Dad, Ahhhhh (when she's looking for Ava), jahhh or ack ( jack 1 of our dogs), PaPa and last night she started saying nan nan
She's having about 3-4 bf's a day and is LOVING solids, she would eat all day if i'd let her.
Allergy stuff seems to be going ok, am watching everything we give her, have had stickers made up for when we go out in public and she's enjoying lots of fresh fruit and home cooked meals
She's got 2 teeth with 1 top one cutting now aswell and about 4 other top ones clearly seen in the gum
Yay TEAGZ for the solids, little Jackson is such a cutie, i love the vids and pics of him
Phew - i'm actually relieved to hear that some of the bigger kids are a bit cheeky and rough with the little ones. I thought it was just mine!
minny, DS2 is awake at least twice at night. He sleeps from about 7.30 until 6 (when the house gets noisey) and he wakes usually once at about midnight and once again a few hours later. Not too bad I reckon, but a big change for me seeing as DS1 slept through from 6 months old. Ahhh, bliss
ZF - swings, that's a fab idea. We only have one fisher price type one, so I think a double swing is the go. Maybe they can have a new pool too. Their one is a bit little for two.
PO5 - they sound just like my two! DD can be quite nice and gentle with DS but other times she is horrid and will hit him, sometimes on her way walking past him and for no reason at all! But DS also gets his own back by grabbing her hair - he has had her pinned down several times and all she can do is call to me for help! I must be a mean Mummy - I think it's funny!
DS is doing great, he still only has two teeth but he is into EVERYTHING!!! He crawls soooo fast now and climbs on everything - I can hardly keep up with him! He still wakes at least once a night and sometimes up to four times grrrr. It seems I was not blessed with good sleepers as DD was the same. Other than that he is going great though. He loves his food and has a lovely little nature - very smiley and happy all the time, although he has hit bad separation anxiety and won't go to anyone other than DH and I.
I can hardly believe our little ones are nearly one!
