Plus he is working so many days on either side he will efffectively not have a day off in 14 days
Amy - Wow, that's a lot of sleeping that Phoebe is doing! Hopefully she doesn't reward you with a wakeful night tonight! Sorry to hear that you got food poisoning. I bet you'll not feel like chinese food for a while...
Kat - What a little rolly-polly bubba you have there! So far Kyson is just doing the major side-lean when changing his nappy, but not actually rolling over. The 9 month old in my mother's group has shown us all how difficult chinge time can be with a rolling bub though! LOL!
I've noticed the huge change in Kyson that you seem to be seeing in Ivy too. He just has some much more intent. He sees something and knows that he wants it, and knows what he wants to do with it. I am finding that he is getting increasingly frustrated that he can't sit up yet. He tries to sit up more in his pram, the car seat and his swing. I generally have the pram upright now (unless he's asleep), but the poor bugger doesn't realise that he has to stay reclined for quite a while to come in the car.
Bella - You'll have to tell us all about the baby welcoming ceremony! Did she enjoy the tree planting? Our garden at home has really taken off lately with spring and Kyson and I have been spending quite a bit of time watering our vegie garden, checking our flowers, and more recently, staring in digust at the aphids on the roses. Jokes on them though, because we sprayed them yesterday and today the bushes look much less buggy
BG - How did you go meeting up with BR? I'm trying to organise having her dog desexed for her. Just waiting to hear back from my friend to find out if we can do it at my clinic. $$ isn't exactly free-flowing at my place, but I'm hoping that I can get her desexed cheap enough that I can pay for it myself. I thought we had a bunch of frozen meals that we could give her, but I didn't realise that DH had already given them to his cousin who currently has a baby in the SCU.
Naomi - How's your trip? And how are you going with the decision making about feeding? At the end of the day you have to do what feels right in your gut. And it has to be right for both you and Bailey. And if that means going to formula full-time, then so be it. Hopefully things have improved for you though so that BF is still an option, but don't beat yourself up about any decision you make
After all the humming and hahing, I think we are going to give Kyson his first shot at solids tomorrow. Since my post he's become much more interested in food. He tends to get fussy and cry any time he sees me eating, and tries to grab stuff from my hand. He's even trying to get at my drinks, lol. And while I eat he makes chewing motions with he mouth and tongue. We are just going to steam up some broccoli and put the floret on his highchair table and let him have a go at it. I figure that if he's not ready to eat yet, then he either won't be interested, or won't be able to eat it. So I guess we will see how we go. I think I'll set up the camera
Vic - Sounds like the first leg of your travelling went well! Good little CJ! I hope you have a wonderful time and can't wait to hear about it and see photos on facebook.
Uh oh, small fry stirring so sorry to anyone who's persies I've missed! Just a quick update on us before he cracks it...
Well, the holiday is over; AF returned this morning. Almost 5 months to the exact day. I don't mind though. It gives me a chance to hopefully become regular and get my body ready when we decide to start trying for number two. When I told DH he said "Oh, we better stop having all that sex then", lol. Poor dear hasn't been getting much lately.
Oh, and Kyson rolled from back to front for the first time yesterday! He's been going front to back for ages, but had not quite managed the other way. Since he did it he's been trying to do it ever since, including change times, getting ready for bath/bed, etc. Lol, cheeky monkey.
Well, talk to you all soon. Much love!
EDIT: Just saw your post Bella. The ceremony sounds like it was fun! Can't wait to see the photos!
I can't wait to hear all about the home birth too. I can just imagine your excitement!
Even rice isn't remotely tempting. GL with the solids! I know people who've started on BLS before bubs was 6mo - just like you're doing. Putting something in front of him and inviting him to eat sounds like the perfect way to do things to me. Let us know how he goes. Bummer about AF, but LOL @ your DH's comment... We have a similar situation here.
I couldn't believe how clearly she spoke and how sweet it was of her! I was so proud I could've cried. She's growing up.
