January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone had a good Mother's Day - alot of our firsts as mom's of 2 and 3... and Snoekie's first!
Hope everyone had a truly memorable day!

SMA - hope Tamina is feeling better already! She sure does keep you on your toes hey! Sounds alot like the things Morgan is doing too...they are growing to beautifully!

Here are some (more) pics from Mother's Day... Morgan loves expolring her rattle and putting it into her mouth, and smacking herself upside the head with it... hehehe

she simply adores her sister hey - follows her every movement. i Just love this pic of the two of them - Tristyn being the clown as usual!

Hey ladies

We haven't gone for the 14weeks vac and Tamina is 16 weeks now. She's not feeling well, nothing major just a bit flu-ish again, but it's clearing up so I will probably take her next week. But she also got an eye infection, but that was also cleared by just Salex. So yesterday she was mostly fine and you could swear she was paying back for the days she wasn't well...sooooo active. Gosh it took me forever to dress her after her bath cos she wanted to do what she wanted to do, and there I am getting all fired up and she laughs, ay ya . And she fakes her coughs now, does it when she's fighting sleep, then when I check her she'll look up with this bright face with a big smile but that doesn't work anymore now I know when she's just trying to get more play time.... I was telling my husband that it's like she knows she's a girl hahaha, she's much more hyper and louder than her brother was, and you could swear she knows when she does something out of line, like chew on her vest sleeve, cos then she looks at you with this smile that can make you do anything for her

Hiya ladies!

Survived my first day back at work... Had a Mother's Day Tea at Tristyn's school in the morning and then i worked from 9-1... Eased into the work, sorting out emails and my desk... And i need next friday off so might as well have started today!

Morgan is 4months old today Where has the time gone hey?!? We still not in the clear with her white blood cell count... its still not within normal range... But it is on the increase which we are so grateful for! She is also growing well, weighed in at 6.27kgs so nicely on her growth chart She is also 60cm tall... she didnt even cry when they drew her blood, and barely cried for her vaccination - so proud of my little champ! So for now we are still just monitoring it... We have another test on the 3rd of June... Really praying hard that this is the last one - FX!

Here are some pics of our day... Treated myself to a cut yesterday, and some highlights in preparation for my new "year" at work - considering this is my first working day for the year!!

We were told we can start introducing solids, so will be trying out the Organic rice cereal... Will post pics of that mess too - heheh!






Have a wonderful weekends ladies

Go Tamina!!! Such a strong little girl hey! Hope you can now get used to the extra hours sleep !

We only go on Thursday for all the tests, and then i will be going in half day to work on Friday... That way my first week back is not a long week, as i will be taking next week friday off again!

Morgan's also been sitting unaided for a few seconds at a time - part of her daily exercise activities we do with her, which includes tummy time and "uppy" - where she has to pull herself up into a sitting position. She loves it - and the bumbo seat too... Really strengthens those back and neck muscles...

Will keep you updated on how all our appointments go on Thursday...

Anthea how did it go with Morgan's tests?

Tamina can sit without support !!!! Well still for a short while , she did it for the first time Sunday night. I haven't been able to take a picture cos when she does it I'm on standby cos she's doing it penguin style haha. She really surprised me cos her neck took a while to stiffen, so I totally didn't expect her to sit at 3 months.... Oh another breakthrough, last night she slept around 9h30 and woke up at 5h00.....it was great!!!!!! Well I still woke up at 3h00 cos I always use the bathroom before feeding her so now my body is used to it .... Let's hope that this is the beginning of full sleep nights.....

Hahahahahaha Colby finished me....he totally knows the code word hahahahahaaha....

Juway they are girls what can we say ... But her brother is worse, he just sees a phone and goes picture picture....

I've seen kids wearing those necklaces and I'd wonder what they are for. I'll check them out.

Cherikey Tamina is the same hey, her weight always surprises me cos she doesn't look fat, but ya she is tall. Her clothes are loose but short ....people will think I like hip hop, dressing my child in baggy clothes hahahahaha... I wonder what she weighs now, we are also late for the 14 weeks vaccine cos she's 15 weeks now.

Hope it all goes well with Morgan. Poor thing will be poked again, but that's really great with kids, in a short while she would have forgotten, I wish I could handle pain like babies

Hi Ladies

So great to hear i'm not the only one who's baba is munching their hands.... Colby tries to get his entire fist in his mouth. He loves chewing his fingers. I really need to get him a teething ring...

I've also got him a teething necklace & also swear by it. I also used it for my first born & didn't have one problem with her.

We had Colby's 14wk vacc's this week and had them 2 days after he turned 4 months and he's weighing a whopping 7.5kg's now... He's not fat so i think he's going to be tall...

We were lucky enough to get his first laugh on camera on Wednesday...
