Hi! Just catching up in here. Ha - funny about the ginge BexD hehe - they can look so cute tho! We have the slightest tinge from the brown turning to blonde. All the new hair is blonde. Growing up fast geez!! Was just like yesterday they seemed newborn! Crazy, now we have rolling, teeth moving etc. All is well here anyway - other than a rash that I think is a food reaction to what I have eaten - possibly strawberries? Who knows! Will keep eye on it. Keep well.

Hi Bex, how are you getting on? We started solids and Alex just loves them! He is on 3 times a day at the moment and eats equivilant to one of those baby food jars at each feed - so making my own now! He is up on hands and knees rocking so it wont be long until crawling - yikes! Rolling all over the place! Off to Oz for a week next week with him to visit my best friend who has Placenta previa (placenta over cervix) so is having a c-section 20th Feb. She hasn't met my boy yet as she was unable to fly over with the condition. Anyway I hope Grace is doing well!

Hi Taliez,
great to hear from you! I'd almost forgotten about this forum... whoops.
We're doing well. Grace is into solids too - so far very keen on peach, pear (just as well as we have a massive pear tree!!), banana (with or without avocado) & nectarine. Unfortunately, she'd rather not eat baby slop because no one else eats it. uh oh! Today DS & I both had kumara puree for afternoon tea, just to show her that "all the cool kids are doing it". Worked a treat - she ate the whole bowlful! ;)
She's sitting independently now, which is awesome. & LOVES the jolly jumper. She pivots & shunts herself backwards when lying on her back or her front (as far as I can tell she does this PARTICULARLY so she can pee on the carpet, rather than on the nappy I've put her bottom on. Wasket!).
We are heading to Thailand in about a week, for 2 weeks... with both kids. I think I might actually be completely bonkers to be attempting this!!
How was your trip to Australia? I hope Alex behaved himself for you - flying with a baby can be QUITE stressful, I think particularly because of the public-ness of it? I often feel stressed when I feel like I"m parenting in the spotlight...
Really good to hear how you're getting on. It sounds like you're doing a great job!

Good to hear from you! Australia was good although just about to land in Brisbane, but due to cyclone we got diverted to Sydney. So after flying there, sitting 1 hour on the tarmat and then into transit lounge for another 1-2 hours we were on our way back to Brisbane, but did about 4 loops in the air before landing as they were even contemplating whether we could land. So considering Alex spent about 7 hours on the plane that day he did really well!! Others on the plane were commentating on his relaxed attitude etc. He is so full of beans, such and active baby. We are crawling on the belly here all over the floor. I cannot even have a shower in peace anymore, he makes it from the lounge to the bathroom to say hello! Can sit alone here too and jolly jumper is almost too 'boring' for him now. He needs so much stimulation just go-go-go! Going to be interesting when he has this crawling mastered on the hands and knees - he just gets on them and rocks and moves his legs only in that position. But watch out - he'll be on his way soon! As for solids, we are 3 times a day with meals and he eats HEAPS. No teeth through just yet - but one is very close!
Good luck with the trip to Thailand! Sounds exciting - and i'm sure it will be a breeze! I was surprised at the number of kids and babies on the plane! And the airline staff were good too! It helps!

Hi Tailez,
We're just back from Thailand this week. It was a bit mental, I'm really glad to be home. Grace loved all the attention, & the fact that she got carted around in the front pack everywhere. ;) But my son has picked up an infection - just waiting for his test results to come back (nothing serious, he's still perky AS, but it does mean we have to limit his diet A LOT till his tummy is back to normal, poor kid!).
With regards to the "boring" jolly jumper have you tried any of these ideas:
> putting a tray with a little bit of water underneath him, so he splashes as he jumps
> attaching a balloon to the JJ with string (though the one on Grace's JJ popped yesterday... she didn't mind at all, just wanted to know where it went?!)
> tying gauze ribbons to the JJ (so they float around while he jumps)
> putting a mirror beside him so he can watch himself jump
> attaching a bell or rattle to the JJ
We often have at least one of these things on the go - yesterday we had a balloon AND a mirror. ooh ahh.
Movement is exciting & exhausting - I wish Grace would just sit still sometimes! She's very grabby - trying to get into everything (even though she can't actually move properly yet). & the number of times she boffs herself because she wont sit still...
Babies and logic: not really compatible!
Right, gotta go. Grace went to sleep at 11pm tonight - she's been going down between 12 - 2am since we got back. I'm pretty excited, except now its midnight anyway!! gah!
My Mum & Step Dad & sister are here tomorrow from Dunedin, which will be great. We also have some people coming to fix our carpet at 8am, which is a lot less than great. -sigh-
kia kaha e hoa!

No idea - I'm not on FB. Havinh resisted thus far, I'm disinclined to sign up (on principle!). Bit gutted about the group moving there, but I guess it's not the end of the world.
Grace's favourite is "Good Girl Grace!" which she uses to try & convince me she's had enough to eat (hahaha - nice try young lady!!). This is accompanied by hand clapping. super cute! Whoops is cute too!

Hey, I used to read this, but wasn't on facebook back then so it got a bit slow after a while! Anyway, feeling bad about dropping out - Nathan was born 10 days late, so made it into September. And is of course completely amazing in all ways possible ;) Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi all,
Everything is going great. Had the big 1st birthday a few weeks ago. Alex is nearly walking and so full of energy. I have been back at work full time since June now. And Alex goes to daycare twice a week and at my mums from 7am-5pm Mon-Fri. Pretty full on!! But loving him so much.He is so much fun to play with!! Hope all is well.
