December 2010 babies!

I keep forgetting to check on here after I revived the thread and all, lol

I usually give N something like cruskits with vegemite or avocado, or toast/sandwich with vegemite, jam or peanut butter, hard boiled or poached egg and toast, bread roll with something on and cut into triangle pieces, pasta/leftovers if there are any, pieces of fruit, raisins and or yoghurt to go along with it. Whatever really. At lunch I like to eat cream cheese or cottage cheese on cruskits which N can't have but other than that at dinner and breakfast we are all now eating the same things. It's so much easier

ETA I have also done the above on corn thins and rice wafers which he has liked

Niquey you could still go trick or treating now, it's for kids of all ages.. was thinking of dressing Liv up as Casper for the kids when they come knocking. Happy Halloween!!!

heh, why is it that no matter what time I put little miss down to sleep she still wakes up at 6am? I've been trying to make her bedtime later in the hope that she'll sleep in a bit more, but I think it's only resulted in her being more grumpy as she's tired the next day.

Has anyone taken their baby swimming in an indoor public pool? I wanted to start taking Violet to some swimming lessons but apparently the chlorine can cause asthma? DH has it so I'm a bit hesitant to do anything which might bring it on in Violet..

That's interesting about the link between chlorine and asthma niquey. I took Chloe to lessons in a chlorinated pool from age 9-18 months, and we now go about once a month to Lloyd Elsmore in Pakuranga. I had childhood asthma and both MIL and SIL have asthma too, but thankfully Chloe hasn't showed any symptoms. From what I have read it is to do with the atmosphere in chlorinated pools, but that if you aren't taking them lots it shouldn't be problem. It shows up more in pool workers and competitive swimmers. The classes are usually only 1/2 hr.
I guess it's just something you are going to have to weigh up. If there is a non-chlorine pool you can get to that would obviously be great, otherwise maybe just take her every now and then so she gets some exposure to a pool - Alex LOVES it

Just wanted to know if anyone else had comments about the size of their baby. Reuben is a big boy for his age but is in proportion and his plunket nurse isn't worried about it but I do get annoyed at peoples' comments. The other day we were at the doctors and another lady in the waiting room commented "We don't have to report you to the SPCA do we!" I know she meant well but it was kind of rude

As for swimming - we go every now and again just for fun, R loves it and we don't go frequently.
