May 2011 babies :)

Hey Everyone!

Yay for a good plunket visit Heaf! Next to H, A would seem like a giant lol

Hope you're feeling better now Jaks! And goodluck with the diet! If shopping isnt a motivation, I don't know what is!

Yay fr your friend Isaacsmum! I hope you get sa bit more sleep soon!

We're going well here. I tried to install A's big carseat in the car yesterday, following the directions but it moved HEAPS from side t side and I couldnt get the belt to lock sooo.. I'm going to take it to plunket this morning I think and get them to do it for me haha. We're planning to drive to Marton labour weekend so I need it to be extra secure, I dont want her to be in her bapsule for that long drive (even with the stops..)

A's on 1-2 solid meals a day, so far she hasnt had too many things, farex, apple and a bit of pumpkin.. but I was going to give her banana this morning I think. She didnt like the pumkpin too much though, I gave it to herat night the other night and she was up most the night waking and crying and then wanting to feed, I'm not sure if it was a bad night or the pumpkin (I thought it would be a relatively safe vegetable though...) so I gave her more a couple mornings after and she did not want to eat it... ah well, I can always melt all the ice cubes and make pumpkin soup LOL

I'm also going to have to put her in her cot relly soon, I had to take her bassinet off her stand cos shes big and kicks it and it rocks. ITs wooden so it makes heaps of noise.. so now shes on the floor until I get her cot sorted lol.

Bah, I hear crying... so much for nap time.. bbl

Tinkerbelle, In West Auckland we have a scheme run by Portage Licensing Trust... They donate carseats to every baby born in West Auckland. You just give a $30 donation to plunket and go pick it up :) (has to be before they are 4 mpnths tjhough and you have to have their birth cert and hospital discharge papers)
The one I got is a evenflo Tribute5, its up to 18kg or 101cm tall and is used rear facing :)

School holidays are hard! Have you thought of playdough? theres recipes online for some good ones.. cheap and easy!

Alice loved the banana, she was grabbing my hand holding the spoon and forcing it into her mouth lol

Got the seat all sorted, I think we werent pushing it down hard enough to get the belt tight, hopegully its more comfy for A :)

Oh wow, that's pretty cool Keolyn! I think we had to pay about $80 to hire the plunket one. Might have a look at the one you have though.

Holidays have been pretty good actually. He is a bit old for playdough really but we made cupcakes together the other day and he enjoyed that. Also went to the park today and will head out to the waterfront tomorrow to go on the Chocolate bus! I'm looking forward to that :) We have a start chart going so it's making life a bit easier ;)

Hope Luke was Ok Megan. I'd say that if he seems happy he's ok :) I would say there would be lots of change in their poos from now on when they try new things, just like when we might have something different I guess.

awesome work Keolyn

Josh is now mobile    He's had rolling over for a little while, but today he's figured out that he can roll multiple times - lol. In a matter of hours he went from happily staying on the mat to hitting his head on the TV, coffee table, and Isaacs toy box in quick secession (they form like a triangle around his mat). It's too soon, my baby's growing up

I also think a tooth is coming up. It's not quite through yet. That's 2mths earlier than Isaac.

Hey guys,

Thought i'd give a wee update on Luke.

He is doing so so well :) LOVING his solids, he is such a good eater I feel so lucky. He is still sleeping through the night (hoping not to jinx it lol) and he is generally just such a happy little boy! I feel so very lucky. Teething totally sucks though, he has had the RED hot cheeks and excessive drooling etc for months now but we still have no sign of actual teeth, very annoying for all involved lol.

In other news our neighbours are total losers who can't contain their loudness to their own house. Looks like we will be making yet another phone call in to noise control this evening.

Have posted about something else in the FB group that was a bit private to post here :)

take care everyone! Lets not let this thread fade !!!

Hi guys, havent had a chance to post for ages but have been coming on to read quickly and keeping up on FB too.

Quick question, how long is everyones baby's up for now? We've been doing an hour and a half but im wondering if i should keep her up for a bit longer.

Havent started solids yet but am thinking im going to do more BLW too, again because i cant be bothered doing too many purees. Poor second child he he
Quinn has started rolling and crawling kindof, more crawling than comando crawling but she cant lift her head up so we're calling it bulldozer crawling. Causing all kinds of havoc with her sleeping though - arghhhh!

Hope everyone is enjoying the last day of the school holidays (thank goodness they are almost done!!!)

IsaacsMum I think we are all mostly on the FB group now?? its a bit more private and I think most people use it more often?

hope everyones bubbas are well

LG S is up for approx 1.5 hours from the time she wakes until she goes back down. Any longer and she gets way overtired and it's a nightmare to get her to sleep.

Issacsmum it is quiet in here! But like Megan said we are all chatting away on FB in the private group. I check FB throughout the day but I don't come in here as often. I think with this nice weather we are all probably out enjoying the sun (in Auckland at least) I hope everyone has some sunny weather where they are!

Can I join the FB group?

Hey Rachel, would love to catch up. I'm busy for the rest of this week, and working tues/thurs. But could do any other day next week

How about Wednesday next week Issacsmum and Rachelsea?

LG, X is up for about 1-2 hours and gets overtired after that. He had 2 really good sleeps this week though (2.5 hours! in the middle of the day) and stayed up for longer. He's got a cold and cough at the mo so is finding it hard to sleep anyway :(

I haven't had much of a chance to get on the internet at all in the last wee while so just catching up now.
