January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hey Ladies

Your baba's are too cute!

@Anthea... Colby also loves his feet and often tries to put them in his mouth. Sorry you guys haven't been well.


Us neither and you're right, pre-school are a sesspit of germs. Excuse the word i used but it's the best description. Tori is sick one week, better the next, and then sick the following week... and then of course i get sick & pass it on to Colby. Very annoying. At the moment i have to run every time he sneezes as the snot ends up on his chin... I did a photoshoot at her school two weeks ago & every kid there had a snotty nose. Terrible i tell you.

@Tazzy... your boy looks so happy & chilled....

AFM... We are doing well (other than the stupid cold). Have moved Colby out of the crib in our room into his cot in the room he shares with his sister. Last night was the second night & it's going well. He sleeps through from about 8 till 5:30 ish... It's Tori we're struggling with as she wakes every hour until about 2 when she finally sleeps through. She's been sleeping on the floor in our room for the past couple of months and so it's going to take time to get her back to her room comfortably. Not that it helps my beauty sleep.

I'm struggling with getting Colby to self soothe as he's been using boob... He's got ZERO interest in a dummy or bottle... Don't know what i'm going to do. It seems though that he has started to hum/moan himself to sleep. The first couple of times i thought he was moaning in some sort of discomfort but last night i thought it might just be his way of self soothing...

He's also loving Cerelac... busy steaming apples for him to start on that and will make butternut tomorrow... Hope he enjoys it as much as his sister did!

Anyways, i've got a busy day.

Here's a pic of my boy that i took last week!

AAAHHHH Isnt he precious!! Morgan has that same toy and loves it!

Thanks so much Tazzy - i am just glad she is much better! Slept through again last night after a few difficult nights so we know she is on the mend! We started the butternut last week and she loves it hey! The paed agrees with you hey - she says schools are septic tanks, and its just as well Morgan is in school with her sister... But you right, it will definitely strengthen her immunity. The joys of having two hey!

Connor sounds like Morgan (and Tristyn for that matter (with regard to sleep) and the paed said as long as they are sleeping through the night they are getting enough sleep and the 45minutes are sufficient during the day. Morgan's awake for an hour and a half... And then she must nap... She also fights us but eventually goes, albeit for only 45mins... Doc said its also a genetic thing - my husband functions on very little sleep and the girls could be the same...

Enjoy the Baptism - where are you based? Attached is the invite for Morgan's baptism that i designed...




The cake will be something like her sister's was... With the main pic of the invite...




The place that made the cake is in Roodepoort - check out www.magnoliacakes.co.za They'll be making Morgan's cake too, with different shades of pink...

@Anthea - Im so sorry you have been ill and that your little angel was sick again! It must be her older sister bringing germs home from school? My friends baby started school and has been on antibiotic 6 times this year - scary! At least it will stregnthen her immune system in the long run! She always looks so happy and content! Are u feeling better? How is BF going? Ive itroduced 2 bottles of formula a day to Connor and he loves it!

@Snoekie - you little princess is so cute so is her puppy #LOVE!

Starting Connor on solids this weekend, so excited! Going to start him on sweet potatoe for 4 days then butternut. Here is a pic of him in his new high chair - too cute!

Struggling being back @ work - missing him so much! He also only laughs @ the nanny now and not me! Breaks my heart! He is still fighting day time naps, he screams and wants to be held and only sleeps for 45min, cant get him to link his sleep cycles. Night time he is an angel but still wakes once for a feed but that takes 20 min and we both back in bed sleeping!

Its Connor's Baptism this weekend too, so excited! I need to find him a little outfit! and trying to get a cake made!

Hi everyone

Snoekie How was the baptism? Are you feeling any better? That is such a cute pic of her and her doggy! Friends for life hey!

Tazzy Your little man is too adorable hey... Is the reflux better?

AFM - I was diagnosed with bronchitis last week - all the sickness finally caught up with me... Touch wood Tristyn hasnt gotten sick but on Saturday night at around 11 we rushed Morgan to Unitas ER... She had been crying inconsolably for over an hour and the minute i tried to lay her down her screaming just got worse... I suspected an ear infection but with her compromised immunity we couldnt take any chances (btw - the condition that docs suspects she has is called Neutropenia - you ladies can google it)... Thank God it was just an ear infection... and through it all she never had a fever which is awesome because it means her body is capable of fighting a bit... We also took her for physio in the week to loosen the phlegm in her chest and sinus cavities... That really worked for her... Not sure if that may have caused the ear infection - will still check with paed!

So to cut a long story short we came home Sunday morning - luckily we didnt need to be admitted...

Here is a pic of the happy baba, she's not sure if she should play with her toes, or dig out her teeth, so she does both - howzat for multitasking hey Typical woman!

Hey Ladies,

Well I am as sick as a dog! And we are doing Anja's Baptism this weekend. I hope this mommy will be better and not standing infront of the congegation with puffy eyes and a red nose

Anthea,
Your girls are too cute!

Tazzy,
Connor is looking so alert and enquisitive.

AFM,
Other than the runny nose and aching body, there isn't any news really.

Here is a pic of Anja and her Doggy, Sasha.

sorry about the overkill - computer froze and I kept hitting submit
