LOL J, we're struggling with BLS too - I gave her a piece of avocado the other day and she just held it for a couple of seconds, shook it, and when it didn't rattle she just dropped it
I tried P on the mashed pumpkin but she wasn't interested. I think I'm going to leave it another week or two.
Tried giving P her first bottle tonight. No luck. Will try again after one of her sleeps - I wonder if she was just too tired to give it a fair go.
Just a quicky cos I wanted to brag about our new computer!!! We have been using a laptop for yrs so bit the bullet and bought a IMac.... it is soooooooooo nice! So I won't spend ages talking cos I am playing with the new toy... wasn't sure if it would be easy or not cos we have never had one before, but it is super cool, and super easy. I am in love
Jacinta and Amy - I have tried the BLS a few times too, and Bailey is just not interested (I think he is too lazy too), and one time where he did eat he shoved the watermelon so far down his throat that he started to gag/choke and it scared me half to death so haven't attempted since. I have tried to give him lumpier food but I dont think he is ready for it yet as he has gagged so he is still eating very purreed food atm. His current fav is mango and kiwi mixed together, tonight for the first time he didn't eat it all which I thought was great cos then I got to eat it LOL
Happy 6 Months Jamie, Allira and 5 months Jemima!
Amy - I sneak veggies into Seans food LMAO - yes my 37 yo husband refuses to eat most veggies so in things like spag bol etc I sneak grated veggies in - he is none the wiser!! Bailey will eat pretty much everything, if he is a bit non-plussed I just add pumpkin and he'll eat it. I had a big cook up and I have a freezer full of icecube portion fruit, vegies, sheppards pie and chicken casserole for him. We were out the other day and I tried to give him a tin of baby food and he turned his nose up and clamped his mouth shut LOL. He'll eat the chocolate custard one though LMAO. Want me to come up and stay hahahahahaha, Bailey and I will keep you, P and N safe while DH is away!!
Nicky your DH is dead crazy playing tennis in this heat - its like a sauna over here, 40 today, we have a cool change tomorrow - 26 LOL
Bella I have IMAC envy too
Went to the IL today - have to share this gem..... MIL asked me if I add sugar to Baileys water bottle? WTF? I asked what she meant and apparantly she used to put sugar in Sean and his brothers water when they were little so they would drink it (as well as glycerine and honey on the dummies LOL). She also told Sean that he has the toughest task with Bailey as when Sean is on parental leave Bailey may be crawling etc. I wanted to slap her..... as I'd forgotten how EASY the last 7 months have been for me Sheesh I think every age has its pro's and con's. Sean lapped it up, put I quickly put him back in his box LOL.
Anyway enough about her. Bailey is really hard to get to sleep at the moment. I used to be able to cuddle him to sleep in a few minutes and put him in his cot and he'd stay asleep. In the last week its taken an hour or so to get him to sleep and when I do put him in the cot he instantly awakes ..... so soooooooooooo frustrating. I'm thinking its a heat thing, I think my body heat against him makes him unsettled. Anyway, we'll see if it passes when it cools here a bit. I miss the sleepy cuddles, its just way to hot to cuddle for too long atm, we both end up sweaty and uncomfortable.
I have put our Xmas tree up, going to attempt my Xmas Photo of Bailey tomorrow - wish me luck
Aaaaaaaagh! @ your MIL. She's mental.
LOL @ you sneaking veges into DH's meals!!! That's hillarious. My DH is a crap eater too, but won't have sauces (except for satay or white cheese sauce) so I can't really sneak anything in... He is pretty good with green veges though, so it doesn't matter. Will have broccoli, snow peas, lettuce... actually I think that's all.
Good that Bailey's mad keen for home made food! I had the opposite problem with Natty for a while there - she'd only have the commercial pureed food. Now she won't have anything, LOL. I actually gave Phoebe a snow pea tonight while I was finishing off Natty and my dinner, expecting her just to play with it (shake it, etc) but she actually sucked on it and gummed it! I ended up taking it from her because I wasn't convinced it was safe with those little peas inside that she could choke on, LOL! What a moron I am. Will have to try again another time.
SNAP with the difficult to settle thing. Phoebe feeds to sleep and lately (the past week and a half or so) she has taken much longer to get to sleep. Her alertness has increased and she can be awake for longer periods now, so I'm thinking that has a lot to do with it. Mind you, after 2 hours of being awake she gets soooooo cranky! It's pretty obvious when she needs to go to bed.
We had a pretty good day today. Will see how I go tonight without the man. Naomi, would love it if you and Bailey came over and kept us company! You'd have to sleep with me though, otherwise I'd still get scared. PMSL! I am a big sook overnight. I have actually just had a vodka tonic in the hope that I will pop off to sleep really quick. The only bugger will be getting back to sleep after P's feed...
We had lunch with friends today and they have a little one who'll be 2 in Jan. She is soooo funny! She's a little nudist. Loves taking her nappy off and running about. They have a lovely house, floor boards throughout the living space. Lucky because she keeps weeing on the floor, LOL! Today she and Natty came outside to the table and Natty announced that M had done a wee. My friend said, 'Oh, dear! Did you really? Now we will have to clean it up!' and M said, 'Yes. That's why we wear a nappy!' Cracked me up!
I am psyching myself up for TT round two with Nat. Will have a go in the next couple of weeks, I think.
Ok... I have put it off for long enough, LOL! Time to go to bed. Nighty night. xx
Nicole - Just added your details to the birth list
Also just realised that I missed Kat, Bridg and Cathy in my persies. Sorry ladies! I promise I'll do persies for you soon, but Kyson is stirring for his 11pm(ish) feed, so I better run
