Oh, and on the sleeping / nap saga, I am back to Bailey napping every 2-3 hours, and sleeping normally again, he had himself (and me) all over the shop for a while there, I think we made up our own wonder week!! We are due on between Xmas and NY - hoping it came early and we are over it
surprisingly, i'm not a big sugar fan Naomi - i'm making it all to do little gift packs for Christmas - and so DH has some yummy stuff to take to work... i just want to make sure it works first
ooh, and my bros kids iwll love it christmas day and will go home super hyper and my bro will have to deal with it
Hi girls!!!
Just popping in quickly... so much to do this week!
Naomi - Yes we are away over Christmas. I'm unpacking from the weekend and about to re pack. How fun! NOT!
BG sorry to hear your wrist is having issues! I hope it's better today.
Well, we had to turn Allira around in her car seat yesterday. I didn't want to, but she now exceeds the weight limit for rear facing for the capsule, and Lachie's old seat is the same limit, so forward facing it is
She really likes it though. The seat is tilted back a bit so she's very comfy in it.
Picking up a new booster combo seat for Lachie after new years ( he's in the one from mum's car at the moment). Gah, they grow too quickly!
...did someone say chocolate fudge...yummmmmm
Totally agree BG with making a test batch
I stocked up on PL before I was given the pin from my job..thank goodness!! One can't have enough tealights hey??
Naomi, it is very special this year to have our bubs for their first Christmas...I have gone wild in the shops...poor DH
Great to hear that Bailey is napping every 2-3 hours and sleeping normally again!!
AFU, Master Aaron has cut his second tooth!!
He has been a little off for the last few days not sleeping till 11.00pm then crys out at around 1ish cuddle with mum and back to bed till 7 which is alright.
Must be his teeth and maybe that he didn't do a number 2 or should I say 3 in a 4 days.
Poor little guy had such trouble pushing that one last night...
Well enough poop talk hope everyone is having a nice day!!
Well, I had hoped to be in bed asleep by now but Phoebs has different ideas. *Sigh*
Nicole: Welcome Yay for another tooth. 11 til 7 is a great stretch of sleep. We are in for another hot couple of days Wednesday and Thursday - they're predicting 38 on Thurs, so lets strap ourselves in, LOL.
Nicky: Bummer about the car seat. That really sucks. I'm not looking forward to having to buy another bigger seat for Natty, but she is so tiny I can't imagine it happening any time soon. She's only 12kg still. I think she has lost weight over the last month or so She has been seriously better since I got my head out of my butt and started paying her more attention the last couple of days. So hopefully her eating will improve and she'll start growing more again.
Naomi: Fingers crossed that was the WW and now it's over. Phoebs is usually up between 2 and 3 hours between sleeps, although now I find it next to impossible to get her to have that 3rd sleep so depending on when she wakes from her second sleep she's sometimes up for 4, 5, even 6 hours. On those nights there are many tears. Sorry to hear Bailey isn't feeling well. Phoebe is ok - maybe the temp was due to teeth? Either way, it's something I can't see so I'm hoping it's behind us now. Enjoy the time with your dad. Loved the Chrissy card, thanks mate! Way cute.
BG: Is that the BB choc fudge? I LOVE that stuff. I have made it for Christmas presents before but this year I'm doing bickies and lemon butter. Hope you get a good rest tonight and can give that cold the final boot.
Bella: Glad you've fixed your supply issues. I have all but given up on my RHS. Phoebe thinks my right boob is just a big joke. Shame about the biting, but I suppose you have the reason behind it and if that's the case it shouldn't become a habit. Our struggle is pinching. Not so much while feeding but when people hold her she grabs great handfuls of flesh and squeezes REALLY hard... she's incredibly strong. Gave my friend a bruise on her neck last week. So I have started to be really consistent in telling her to be gentle, praising her when she touches gently and reminding her when she pinches. Even when it doesn't hurt I still remind her. Sometimes I feel like she's taking it in and other times not, LOL! But it's all we can do. Thank you for the Chrissy card too! Jemima is very cute! She looks a lot like (photos I've seen of) her dad in that photo
Agh, Phoebe is still spiritedly chatting away in there. I could probably go to bed but she may well start to cry at some stage and need me so I think I'd rather wait until I know she's asleep rather than fall asleep only to be woken after 20 minutes or something.
Am trashed though. The weekend was very full on. But the next couple of days should actually be quieter, which is a relief.
Phoebe has in the last couple of days decided she likes food! She had her first taste of banana today. I just used the spoon to get some smaller chunks off for her and she chewed away. Even got upset with me when I slowed down to talk! That was mid afternoon, so I figured she wouldn't want any solids at dinner time. Wrongo! Luckily I had steamed myself some pumpkin and I shared with her. She just took little bites off the chunks I gave her. She still can't feed herself, but at least she's starting to show interest in eating. I've noticed her growth slowing down. Feels like she's been in 00s for ages and isn't looking to grow out of them any time soon. Some clothes she wears are 0s but they are smaller sized ones.
Orright, I think I'm going to peek on FB while I have the chance.
Well holidays must really wear babies out, CJ is having the longest day sleep has had in ages - although am just making a coffee and normally that is her cue to wake up!!!! Had a fantastic weekend in Grampians with my parents, before we moved to Melbourne the only time I really thought about wanting kids was when I was on holiday, and going away with a child lived up to my expectations - even at six months the wonder she displayed at everything is just infectious. DH didn't come due to work and CJ and I were in a hostel while mum and dad were in their camper van - hostel was fine (even had high chair and baby change table) CJ slept in with me which was a bit odd as am not used to it but worked out fine. Back at home now for a few days peace before mum and dad get into MEL on Christmas Eve.
Oh right on cue she has woken up - will post more later - can catch up on posts now though as read while I feed her!
Hi girls, gosh this is such a busy time of year isn't it? I'm just finishing off the last of my Christmas cards to send out and I'm crossing my fingers that they get there just before Christmas, but I think they are going to end up arriving late.
DH and I decided this year that seeings as we spent so much on things in the new house, that we would count those as our presents to each other, so we're not buying each other presents. But I really wanted to get him a little something from Kyson. Problem is that I couldn't find ANYTHING! Oh well, I guess Kyson is the best present we could ever ask for
I just can't believe how quickly Kyson is growing up. Not only is he standing up holding onto furniture and walking around them, he's now using a box to stand against and walk wile he pushes it across the floor! DH thinks he'l be walking in a month. I walked at 8 1/2 months and I think Kyson is trying to beat me, lol.
He's become a really affectionate little boy. He loves his cuddles and will crawl across the floor and into my arms for a snuggle. I love when he tucks his head into me, TOO CUTE! Yesterday morning DH got him up for an hour first thing in the morning, and when he brought him back to bed he laid him down in his cot. I thought he'd play for a while so I just kept laying with my eyes closed. Then he crawled onto my bed and over to me and laid his head on my shoulder and fell asleep there! It was the sweetest thing, and I didn't have the heart to move him back to his cot, so he slept his nap like that
I'd love to do persies but I really need to get a million things done. I have a pile of dirty clothes that I just dropped on the lounge room floor (BB took precedence), the rest of the crissy cards, I have Kyson's Santa Sack half sewn on the kitchen table, the kitchen is a war zone (I really believed the dishes would do themselves during the night...), and my parents are coming to visit later.
I hope you are all well and that you are enjoying this Christmas season with your special little people! xoxox
Super quick post the house is a BOMB!!...and the BOY is FINALLY SLEEPING!!
Just in case I don't get a chance to post here till just after Christmas I just want to wish you, your family and your bubbas a fantastic and safe Christmas!!
Deck the halls....woops nearly broke out into song
Anyway my baby boy is 7 months today!!!
Seeing my ticker with his age is just as exciting of when I had my Pregnancy ticker...hehehehe
Just wanted to add that Krystie, Kyson sounds like a real sweetheart.
What a very precious memory to have
