Sounds like were all having lack of sleep at the moment.
Sanchez - love the volleys will get a pair for Jaida too when a little older. I too am a bad mum when it comes to TV. This is the only time I get an housework done. Jaida loves Raggs the Dog - I suppose for all the music.
Sangie - its amazing what bubs can achieve if you just leave them be. We put Jaida on the floor to come back and find her facing the opposite direction. I can see her getting frustrated with not being able to move forward as well so I think she try to figure out crawling soon.
Nicola - hugs for you... it is so tough to try and do this on lack of sleep. I have put Jaida down for the 3rd time for her morning sleep and she is just refusing at the moment. I am trying the let her whinge method cause there is nothing more I can do. Hope bub sleep patterns improve for you.
AFU - tired.... oh so tired... Jaida is still waking on her tummy a few times a night and unfortunately once I'm awake it takes aaagggggeeesss to fall back to sleep.
We live in Brissy which is about 32 degrees each day at the moment and poor Jaida spends the day sweating particularly when feeding. Bring on autumn. Anyone else live in Brissy?
Easha, I used to live in Brisbane (Camira/Springfield area) when DS was born. I basically spent the whole summer inside with the aircon going because it was so flipping hot.
Nicola, that is tough going. I hope she pops a tooth or three soon so you can get some rest.
Sanchez, I really hope that V settles into better sleeping patterns soon. I seem to hear of a lot of bubs getting better around the 8 month mark. A loves watching T.V too.
Sangie, A and DS together are so adorable - she thinks he is the best thing ever! Any time he comes close she grabs at him and he is always climbing onto the couch to give her cuddles. If A cries, W comes up and gives her a kiss and says "she loves that, she feels much better now".
Taurean, your pamper session sounds great! I have never done anything like that but I am planning to get my hair cut when the bald patches (from the post baby loss) grow back.
The shopping went well, A managed to sleep the whole way there and back and was happy as larry in the sling all day. I got her size 1 body suits and all-in-ones because the 0's fit nicely but there isn't much grow in them. The ones are a bit loose but not too bad.
Hope all is well with you and bubs. Sorry I haven't been back in after asking if I could join thread don't know where the time gets to some days.
We have had a shocker this weekend as were flooded after the storms hit Sydney on Friday night so all downstairs carpets have had to be taken up and chucked out and just waiting for insurance company to tell us what the next step is going to be. House is in a bit of chaos as we had to move furniture etc so who knows where anything is. It meant that Sam got moved to sleep in his own room a little bit earlier than planned as our bedroom is downstairs and was effected by the flood. It didn't bother him in the slightest but is a little bit sad to know that he is not sleeping in the same room as us any more.
Don't know about your little ones but Sam is all over the shop at the moment in relation to routine. Some nights he sleeps through others he doesn't some mornings he will only go back for 40 minute nap and others he will do over 2 hours. Feeding also seems to be all over the place and he is getting quite fussy on the breast at the moment. Lots of kicking me, whinging when on, crying when he takes himself off. Not really sure what is going on so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Taurean your pamper session sounded great must get to do something like that soon. So far Sam has managed to attend all of my waxing sessions including being held in my arms twice as I was waxed but have left him at home when I've had my nails done. My next challenge is being able to keep the hair appointment that I've made.
No rolling at our end yet though he manages to get him self from one end of the cot to the other. So far he only appears to do this during the day at which stage he wakes himself up as he is out of the covers and gets a little bit cooler as we've air con on in his room. Fingers crossed he doesn't start moving too much at night. I started him at Gymbaroo today so I am sure he will have rolling down pat in a few weeks so I can join the land of the sleepless.
I think a few of your little ones go to Gymbaroo already do they enjoy it? Today probably wasn't that great as he fell asleep in the car on the way there and then decided he wanted a feed - only two hours after he had last fed! so we missed most of it as I had to feed him. I've booked him in for the remainder of the term though so keep my fingers crossed we time things better for next week.
Going to slowly start to introduce solids to Sam. Any suggestions on what time of day you found to be the best to have their "meal" at? I tried some rice cereal over the weekend and while he didn't spit it back out think he might have been a bit more enthuastic about it if he had been hungrier.
Anyway my bed is calling me so will talk more tomorrow.
Nicola - you poor thing, I hope things settle down for you soon so you can get some rest. Hang in there!
Art - yay for the successful shopping trip. Your kids sound so cute together. DD loves to play 'peek a boo' with Ethan. It's so cute watching them both giggle together.
Now we're 3 - OMG at the flooding, how terrible. I hope you get it all sorted out soon. Do you have to go out and buy more furniture too? I hope you get to enjoy gymbaroo
Easha - we are in Melb and its been pretty hot here too, thank god for air con hey?! How did Jaida go last go, fingers crossed you both got some decent sleep.
Taurean - yay for the pampering you lucky thing!
Sanchez - no he only wore his shoes a few times and then they didn't fit, he must have had a growth spurt just after he got them! I have a cure for your boredom hun, have another baby he he! I don't have much time to be bored with two littlies. I remember feeling a bit bored when I just had DD though so I started some casual work when she was around 9 months old. Maybe join some activities if you can? We go to playgroup and swimming lessons which takes up two mornings a week. We also catch up with my mum and MIL most weeks too.
AFU - been busy as DH has been away for work. I have a whole new respect for single mums! It's hard work with two littlies and being on my own. He got back on Sun but he is going again tomorrow and won't be back till Sat evening. On top of that Ethan has decided to not sleep during the day again unless he is in my arms At least I can be thankful that he is sleeping through the night which I really need after crappy day sleeps. We had a roast last night and I gave Ethan a taste of roast pumpkin. He seemed to be quite impressed with it and opened his mouth wide open for more lol! So I might start him on solids and see how we go.
Typing on my phone so this will be a quickie (pardon the pun...) - Sanchez, my libido is MIA too. From what I've been told and read it's very normal. It's due to the low levels of estrogen from breastfeeding. That's what also makes it dry down there. It's natures way of protecting us from getting pregnant. My doctor assured me things should return to normal when I stop breastfeeding or even semi-normal when AF arrives.
It feels weird to be completely uninterested, doesn't it!!!

Sangie - oh the single mother thing - I can't understand how women do it day after day. I would be completely lost without my DH and other network i have around me. I too have a huge respect for these women. And also the women that have multiple babies - i can't wrap my head around that either!
Thats no good about Ethan only sleeping on you....I did that for ages, i got nothing done apart from watch a lot of TV!
NW3 - OH NO! What a nightmare you are living at the moment. I saw the news, that water was crazy! At least you had insurance i guess. But oh the hassle of it all. I have no answers about your bub playing up on the boob. It did take me a while to work out that when V is pulling herself on and off and being awful on the boob she needs to get rid of gas, i sit her up for a minute she does a huge burp and goes back on happily - but that doesn't sound the same for you. Keep perservering honey.
Art - good to hear the shopping went well - i guess it does have the advantage of you spending lots of money on useless stuff you don't need! A is just precious in her pics!
Easha - I am in Brisbane on the northside and the heat is killing me. I sit inside all day in the airconditioning because i refuse to go out in the heat.I don't think i should be living in Brisbane! What side do you live on?
We have no routine in this house - Tizzie Hall didn't last long! She is back to being all over the shop. I gave her a bottle of formula last night to see if that would make her sleep any better - no. I too brewed up the old pumpkin last night and she started on that - Loved it! So have frozen some and will work our way through it before i switch to a new vege! Easha i gave it to her after her bath time so about 6pm when she is happy, however she ended up with pumpkin all over her so sort of cancelled out the bath IYKWIM!
Violet came out yesterday in an awful rash all over her trunk front and back and up her neck - awful. I took her to the doctor who said it looked like a viral rash whatever that is, she wasn't concerned as violet doesn't appear unwell. I was worrie it could be measles or something. But then i thought about it and i had given her mango the day before. Apparently a lot of young ones have reactions to stone fruits. That and i didn't realise they will react on the 2nd time they have the fruit not the first, because the body has to create antibodies after the first time she eats i. So maybe she is allergic to mango? I don't know, but the rash is no better today.
She is asleep on DH's chest at the moment - going to take the oppurtunity to have a cup of tea....I never seem to get through a full cup these days, my house is littered with half drunk cold glasses of tea!!
I know you've all been experiencing issues with day sleeps recently but am just wondering how many day sleeps you are trying to get your little ones to actually take. And how long you leave them up for before you try to get them to go to sleep or if you just wait for the tired signs. (I know when they were younger it was max of 1.5 to 2 hours up but don't know if there is any rule of thumb for the age they are now).
I normally put Sam down as soon as I see the tired signs or might try if he has been put for 2.5 hours even if he is not appearing to be tired. I am trying to get him to have 3 naps during the day though will leave it at 2 if one has been a very long one. My issue is normally around the third nap and its timing. I don't want it to be too close to his bedtime as then I find it more difficult to settle him for the night.
What are you girls trying to do - even if its not working
NW3 - I will tell you the tizzie routine even though it's not quite working, the nap times are pretty consistent With when she is exhausted.
Up at 7am & feed........down at 9am for sleep
11am feed.......down at 1pm for sleep
3pm feed....... 4.30 nap if baby wants it
5.15 bath......6.30pm feed
7pm bedtime
10.30pm dreamfeed
that's the tizzie way! At the moment V is getting the morning sleeps right on time but somedays only does at 40 min sleep and others does the 2hr sleep.
This is Ethan's routine on his good days (which are very few atm )
Feed 8am
Sleep around 10am for 45mins
Feed 11am
Sleep around 12.30pm for 1.5hrs
Feed 2pm
Sleep around 3.30pm for 45mins
Feed 5pm
Bath at around 6.30pm
Feed 7.30pm
Bed by 8.30pm
Lately he's been missing the afternoon sleep and only having a short nap at lunchtime. It's clearly not enough cos he gets really overtired and cranky. Hoping to get back on track soon, it was so good while it lasted!
Sorry had to finish up first post quickly as little noises were coming from a certain young mans bedroom. However all okay
Totally with you ladies in relation to admiration for single mothers. I have no idea how they do it on their own 24/7! Its hard enough with someone else to help and we've only got 1.
Art can't believe you had to buy 1s. We are still in a combination of 000 and 00. He is a still a skinny little thing though he has plenty of little chubby bits. I hope I am feeding him enough maybe he'll grow more when he eats solids. It is hard not to worry however as you can't help comparing to other babies that are so much bigger.
Sanchez know what you mean about half drunk cups of tea. I go round the house picking them up at the end of the night. Don't blame you for being concerned with rash. There are so many unknowns with a new baby with so many things having the same symptoms.
Still no real news from the insurance company. They've had so many calls and things to sort out its going to take another while before they send out an assessor to work out what needs to happen next. We are lucky as our living areas plus two other bedrooms are all upstairs so is just our bedroom and entrance that had the water in. Furniture all appears to be okay with just the carpet damaged.
Easha hope you had a better night last night with regards to the waking up to to rolling. I had a 3.30am call last night but managed to get back to sleep fairly quickly once he'd fed and gone back to sleep. I am lucky as he self settles once he's been fed so no messing around trying to settle him. Am crossing my fingers as I say this in case I jinx myself and he suddenly changes and needs to be settled.
Hope all is good with everyone else. Have a good night everyone and more tomorrow no doubt.
7am wake up
10am feed and sleep for 45 minutes
1pm feed and sleep for 45 minutes
4pm feed and sleep for 45 minutes
she would have another nap around 7pm but then she won't go to bed until very late so we have been holding her off until around 9ish after DS is in bed.
NW3, try not to compare - my two kids are nowhere near the same even with the same parents/techniques etc
Art - size 0 already.... you must have gooooodddd milk . Jaida is still in 000. Her dad is only little though and we are both short. Had her weighed yesterday and she is 6.35kgs.
Now we're 3 - hows the clean up going.... we had heaps of floods here yesterday but we weren't effected.
Sangie - agree with you re: single mums - DH is going away for 4 nights for work aaarrrrrggghhh so I will be a single mum so to speak for a few days. Am trying to fill the days with activities so I don't go crazy.
Sanchez I live in Algester - were in Nth brissy do you live.
No libido for me either - would rather sleep - poor DH although in between looking after Jaida and cleaning and cooking I am still 'servicing' DH otherwise WW3 would surely commence IYKWIM.
Would love for Jaida to have 3 sleeps during the day.
Our routine
Feed 4:30am
Sleep immediately
Feed 7:30am
Sleep from 9:30am usually on 45mins
Feed 10:30am
Attempt another sleep at 12:30 or feed at 1pm and attempt another sleep after this usually only 45 mins
Feed 3:30- 4pm
Bath 5:30pm
Feed 6pm
Bed 6:30-7pm
Maybe Jaida considers her sleep after the 4:30am her 1st sleep of the day. The good thing is Jaida goes straight to sleep after this and also at bed time at night. I can also just put her down in her cot and she is happy to entertain herself there for awhile. She may not sleep but she is content. This is what usually happens with the afternoon sleep. Luckily she is mostly a happy bub so even if she doesn't sleep she is usually not to grumpy.
Hi girls,
Wow it looks like a lot of us are putting up with slightly grumpy babies at the moment… I have no idea for whats causing it – teeth, frustration, hunger… just trying to roll with it and thanking god for good sleeps at the moment!
We have started solids, I gave T my half eaten apple on the weekend and he loved sucking it so I figured I would try a few small things and see how he went. We have had sticks of cucumber, carrot (doesn’t seem to like that yet), 1 small bit of watermelon, and avocado off a spoon he holds himself. I’m quite impressed with his dexterity. I’m trying to resist the temptation of giving fruit too soon, as I’ve read they can get a sweet tooth – so just in case there is some truth in it, we’ll hold off. Pumpkin is a great idea Taurean – we may have to try that soon.
We are also still weaning onto a bottle. It’s going well – loving taking my time over it, as I think you’d get quite a shock if you had to suddenly stop after spending so many hours feeding for the past 6 mths. We are onto 2 bottles and 3 BF’s. We have also cracked 7kg – yay.
Art – we definitely get an overtired bub at times. If I don’t get him into bed when he is tired it will build up and then he finds it really hard to fall asleep, and will cry or just be unsettled. T seems to be quite fussy about how and when he will sleep, needs to be wrapped with a dummy in his cot. Although today he proved me wrong and fell asleep in the buggy with no dummy in! Right when I was thinking, this walk is a good idea as an alternative to a 4th day sleep – he proved to me he still needs 4 sleeps
Easha – Great idea on the journal. I had a pregnancy one which I updated the first 2 months, but have been so slack recently. I need to get back into it! It will be great for them to read back over when they are grown up – and fun for you to remind yourself too! I don’t seem to get too bored at home, probably spend way too much time on the internet! Uploading photos, emailing, BB, FB, shopping! I usually go out probably 3 times during the week, just to buy something small / supermarket / visit a friend. But I have DH home on Wednesday’s (working but at home) and the weekend. Also I know I am going back to work – so it makes it easier to enjoy. It is hard trying to find small activities to fill in the gaps. You could find some art or craft thing to do, baking/cooking, walking with the buggy, cleaning – boo that’s no fun tho. Also, we are having tantrums too – when I got T out of the highchair twice in a row he has cracked it so much I thought I’d hurt him somehow, but today he cracked it as soon as I unbuckled him – knowing what was coming. At least he is enjoying trying out the food!
Taurean – funny how they suddenly get or seem ‘big’ about 5.5mths huh. Tadhg feels so solid now, don’t you love those chubby little leggies. Loving the day-spa day, that must have been awesome
Sanchez – yay for a couple of good nights sleep, reassuring to know V can do it. I hope she gets back into it asap for you! Those shoes are so cute! Girls and shoes is much more fun than boys, I think. Poo that the Tizzie routine didn’t work out, it is pretty strict though huh! I hope you can work out some routine – with that being said, it sounds like a lot of us have little idea how long each sleep will last 45 mins to 2 hours! Libido wise – mostly I just don’t even think about it! Although, maybe TMI I definitely think my CM is coming back (I guess its related to weaning). Bugger I hadn’t even thought about AF coming back! LOL Thanks for the info on stone fruit… I didn’t know. T also has a rash on his forearms today which I’m wondering could be from the highchair somehow. Wonder if Avocado counts as a stone fruit? Maybe I should hold back on it for a while. Hmm! Hope V’s rash clears up soon.
Now we’re 3 – you poor thing with the flooding, not what you need! T is also really fussy on the breast too, apart from random occasions. Doing what you describe, kicking and flexing his back, then crying when he comes off and only sometimes wanting to go back on. I have put it down to a mixture of too much going on around him, and my milk coming a bit slow. Not sure if my milk has changed much, or if he is now used to the bottle which delivers a steady flow… but for me it is making the choice to wean a bit easier. It seems to help T if I sit in a quiet room and relax and wait patiently; I hope it gets easier for you! I don’t want to make a storm in a tea-cup, but my opinion is that bubs should be left as long as possible (near 6 mths) before you start solids. The more room in their little tummies for milk, the better as it’s the perfect food for them nutritionally. Also, digesting food can be quite hard on little tummies. But I know plenty of people who start solids at 4 months and get along fine… We started trying some food at the midmorning feed, because I’m showered and relaxed, not trying to do my own lunch yet, and T is quite awake – it seems to be working well (only 3 days into it!).
Sangie – well done for managing without DH, its hard enough with one – so you deserve a medal too!
Ps. T rolled for the first time last night at a friends house – he saw it but both Tim and I missed it! Waiting for a repeat…
Kelly - T is so cute!! Great to hear he has started rolling too although it can be frustrating for them at the start. Izzy is a real pro now. Back to tummy, tummy to back - rolling everywhere and she loves it! I often find her off her rug now though and doing 'snow angel' type movements on the floorboards. LOL! Izzy likes pumpkin but she LOVES carrot! She tried it for the first time yesterday and scoffed it! Highly recommend it, just good old pureed carrot.
Easha - lol re: servicing! I'm letting DH service himself!! Bad wife! He he he. Jaida's routine is a bit like Izzy - lots of 'ifs'! As long as Jaida is happy then I wouldn't be worried at all. It is frustrating when they get cranky and overtired though but still won't sleep, hey.
Art - PMSL. Our libidos have officially left the building. Hmmm, I wonder when they will return?
NW3 - OMG, you poor love!! We saw the floods on the news! Glad to hear you're coping with it all so well and thank god for insurance! As for routine, we don't really have one to be honest as Izzy is such a busy body that she likes to fight day sleeps when we're home. I do find that she has three naps throughout the day though but the first nap will often only be 20 minutes. Anyway, here is a rough idea of how our day works (keeping in mind we go out a lot):
7-8am - wakeup and feed
9-10 (so 2 hours later) top up feed and attempt to put Izzy down for a sleep. We often go for a walk around nap time and she nods off in the pram - anywhere from 20-60 minutes. We're not usually that successful at getting her down for a nap in her cot in the morning.
10-11am - feed
12-1pm - Izzy has a nap. We are usually out so this nap will either be in the sling, the pram or car. Anywhere between 20-60 minutes
1-2pm - feed
2.30-3.30 - Izzy often nods off mid afternoon for a good nap. We can usually transfer her during this sleep so she goes from the car seat to the sling to the pram and so forth. This sleep has been 2 hours lately. It seems to becoming more regular.
5pm(ish) - feed
6pm(ish) - bath
7pm(ish) - last feed and settling for night
8pm(ish) - sleep for the night. 11-12 hours straight.
As you can see, we have a good night routine but our days are all over the place. I just look for tired signs and work on a rough 3 hours feed schedule. It works for us and I love the fact that Izzy is so mobile. I would love it if she would nap at home in her cot but she just fights it most mornings and I usually get out of the house in the afternoon so she sleeps on the go. The afternoon nap seems to becoming quite a regular thing though so I think I'll try putting her in her cot for the arvo nap starting tomorrow.
Sanchez - thanks for the stone fruit tip! LOL at the half drunk cups of tea. I only have one tea a day and that's during Izzy's first feed for the day so I manage to finish that one. I have lots of random glasses of water throughout the house though...not to mention several 'To Do' lists that are half done!!
Sangie - boo hoo for crappy day sleeps again! Have you got a sling? I LOVE our sling. It really is my best friend. Hey, can I ask, what is your DD's name? I've always been curious!
AFU - I experienced our first solids poo today!! Izzy tried carrot for the first time yesterday and LOVED it and you guessed it, today we had a kind of solid poo sprinkled with carrot! LOL! I gave her more today for lunch and she really enjoyed it. So pumpkin and carrot get the thumbs up. Hmmm, what next? This is fun!
We went to a Mums and Bubs movie today, Valentines Day, and it was great! Izzy was a perfect angel and was mesmerised by the mega sized TV so she just sat there sucking on her teething toy and her spew rag!! LOL! She fell asleep in the sling for the last half an hour then had another 2.5 hour nap in the pram while mum and I were shopping in the afternoon. I was one very happy mummy today!
Izzy has really stepped up the language in the past few days and it's bloody hilarious! She's trying out all sorts of new sounds and basically won't shut up. I guess this was always a possibility given her mum is a bit of a motor-mouth
Rolling is full on now and she's all over the place - often off her blankets and wondering how the hell she ended up on the hard floor boards! The look on her face is priceless!
We tried a sippy cup the other day as Izzy has taken over holding her bottles and keeps reaching out for our drinks! She loved it and was so proud of herself pulling it in and out of her mouth, smiling in between. It was so cute!
Anyone else experiencing mini tantrums?! Izzy is chucking them when she doesn't get her way or when she is a bit overtired. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she cracked it at Gymbaroo yesterday then threw her toy at me! It was so funny but a little worrying. I think I have a fiesty one on my hands!
We're moving out of our place this weekend and into our temporary home for a few weeks - DH's boss' apartment. It'll be a bit like a mini-holiday as the apartment is in West Perth so walking distance to the city and some really good restaurants. We're only going to paint our new place and recarpet it before we move in so we should be living there in about 3-4 weeks time. If all goes to plan, we'll knock it down in about 18 months time. We built the house we're in now and loved the building experience so we can't wait to do it all again. We've already started looking at display homes and getting an idea of what we want next time. It's going to be great fun!
I guess I should get to bed as I've got a big day of last minute packing tomorrow. Big hugs and kisses to all of you and your gorgeous bubbies!!

Kelly - Great to hear bub is rolling, its exciting to watch and they are so proud of themselves when there over. Jaida still only rolls back with my help so that's a little annoying but she's not far off doing it herself. My DH also works from home so it is great to have him around so I can have a shower in peace!!
Taurean - Love the babbling. We cant get a word in edgeways with Jaida sometimes and I swear she's said 'hi' a few times. She loves talking during breastfeeding too .and doing raspberries on my nipples I've Jaida with the sippy cup in the bath. She got the hang of it pretty quick and eagerly held the cup herself. It still tastes a little plastic at the moment so the look on her face was priceless - eeeeewwww. She does the same at swimming when she gets a mouth full of chlorine.
We started music group today and I'm not sure whether Jaida is too young. She seemed to love all the songs and watching all the other kids but it is targeted at kids that can at least walk. Although shes little, she got quite heavy after carting her around to all the actions/songs.
What else.... Jaida is 5 months today - my gosh it has gone so quickly
Easha - sounds like you have a little chatterbox! Lucky you with a DH working from home. I have to plan my showers lol!
Taurean - yes I have a sling but Ethan isn't a fan of it. If I'm desperate I'll put him in the pram and go for a walk or wheel it up and down our hallway until he goes to sleep. My DD's name is Elena. I think I'm just used to writing DD instead of her name lol! Good luck with the move, glad its you and not me lol I hate moving! Tantrums already !
Kelly - T sounds like he is doing great with solids. I've also heard that giving fruit first can cause a sweet tooth. No idea if there is any truth to it but I'm happy to start with veg first anyway.
I can hear my little man so better go. He had a later nap than usual today so fingers crossed he still sleeps ok tonight. Had a rough night last night. He was up at 3am for an hour then woke for the day at 5.30am. Have no idea why He wasn't hungry, just wanted to talk and smile at me which it made it hard for me to be mad at him lol! Of course he does this when DH is still away
Forgot to say that Ethan sat up by himself today for around 20 mins before toppling over. He was so proud of himself, grinning the whole time!

: forgot something
Sangie - hows the sleeping going now?? Jaida has slept through the entire night for the last 2 nights.... fingers crossed this continue and I better shut up now before I am jinxed. How exciting with you bub sitting. Jaida sits quite comfortably in a donut but still needs some support. Aaaahhh they grow up so quickly
Am going to be starting Jaida on solids soon as well - I'm quite excited and am looking at the Baby Led weaning method... am reading up on it now. Anyone doing this?
Any advice on good highchairs and do you ave any ideas about where I can get a spill mat for under the highchair?
At least I can be thankful that he is sleeping through the night which I really need after crappy day sleeps. We had a roast last night and I gave Ethan a taste of roast pumpkin. He seemed to be quite impressed with it and opened his mouth wide open for more lol! So I might start him on solids and see how we go.
. Jaida is still in 000. Her dad is only little though and we are both short. Had her weighed yesterday and she is 6.35kgs. 
.and doing raspberries on my nipples 
I've Jaida with the sippy cup in the bath. She got the hang of it pretty quick and eagerly held the cup herself. It still tastes a little plastic at the moment so the look on her face was priceless - eeeeewwww. She does the same at swimming when she gets a mouth full of chlorine.
