January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

YAY - finally a pic! Your kids are gorgeous Sma! And you are so right - they are starting to look alike now that Mina is getting older

Hi ladies

Finally got a picture ....well the nanny was the photographer

Tamina's teeth are almost out, well the one is out but still just above the gum, she's still struggling a bit at night with a blocked nose but she still sleeps okay and eats normal, more solids actually. And she's 8 months today!!!! Mondli is 2 years and 9 months on Thursday.

Realising how they look alike ... Gosh Mondli loves taking pictures, and Mina is just in another planet hahahaha

Morning ladies

Hope you all had a good weekend...? We had such lovely weather here! And its predicted to last all week

Yes Cherikey - she goes down by herself, hahahaha ! If only... No we hold her while she slides down...

We see paed this friday for a check up so will see what she weighs then... Colby is such a healthy weight... Morgan also eats almost everything... we'll start introducing the moajor meat now but she eats all her homemade veggies too... and she loves those boudoir biscuits, and ice cream - think it helps for those gums too...

Still no teeth in sight but the gums are rock hard so hoping anytime soon - although we have saying that for a while to no avail... But the older the better for me hehehe...

Cherikey - whats those marks on the side of his face? He is so adorable...

@Sma - yes my Morgan is such a happy baby, even with complete strangers... always has a smile on hand... and both girls have their father's big eyes...

Here some pics we took over the weekend...







Busy week and weekend ahead - we off to Hoedspruit for the long weekend... and we taking my niece with... 3 girls for 5 days... should be interesting hahaha!

Snoekie, Tamina does the same scruffy face it's too cute...will try to take and post some pics sometime this decade

She's still a bit miserable, the teeth are just under the surface so ya they must come out now, but she eats well still so that's good, and she plays as normal, but ya there's that nje. She's trying to hold on to things and stand, if I give her my hands she can stand up. She totally enjoys her time in the walker, actually that's her favorite thing. She even goes to whichever room now and plays by herself, she just loves being able to get places.

Colby is growing so nicely and his teething is going well hey.

Morgan's eyes are always soooo open its like she can't see enough hahaha love how she's forever smiling.

Just saw this old pic of Mondli and my husband, it was last year April, he was a year and 3 months so I'm not sure what he wanted to order at mugg & bean

Hi Ladies

Weekend... YAY!!!!

Anthea... Morgan looks super stoked on her swing & slide... Does she go down on her own yet...

Snoekie... Anja is too cute in her outfit, Colby also does the scrunched up face, especially his nose. Love the cake, you're very talented.

Tazzy.... your boy is super cute, sits so nicely!

Sma... How are your kids doing? Still snotty?

AFM.... We had our weigh in last week and my boy is a healthy 9.1 kg's now and doing so well. He eats loads (all home-made)... from pureed peas & sweet potato, to butternut, to spinach, to carrots & chicken, to spagetti bolognaise, to dried fruit, to stewed apples, the works... basically anything you put in his mouth. He even had scrambled egg last night & popcorn (the soft bits) yesterday afternoon. When we give him meat now i don't even blend it anymore i just give him tiny pieces he can gum... He LOVES meat...

Our 3rd tooth is visible in the split gums and should be out today or tomorrow...

Sleeping is going ok... Like Anthea says he wakes during the night usually around 4ish, i put him in bed with me, he BF for a bit & falls back to sleep easily.

He leopard crawls backwards quite nicely but is very interested in standing and balancing on his own... and has recently started trying to pull himself up on things. Going to have our hands full with this one.

Generally all is going well & he is such a happy chilled baby.... Here are some recent pics of my kiddies...

Colby's 2 Teeth:


Colby's First Swimming Lesson:



Garden Water Fun:

Hi Snoekie - lekker om van jou te hoor...

Thanks Snoekie - we have been managing it well with the two pumps - the controller and the reliever... AI - i hope that with the change of weather things improve with her health... But i am asmatic too so it was bound to happen, and the asthma and eczema is always linked so we have that problem too.

Morgan is also toofie-less and its so cute... i think they look alot more "grown up" when they start sprouting teeth, so dont mind her being a baba for that much longer...

Anja is truly adorable! And that cake is awesome!!! What is with the scrunching of the faces?? My first born never did it - but its too cute on Morgan...

Glad to hear the breastfeeding is going so well And sorry to hear that she still wakes to feed... Is she really hungry though? Some nights Morgan will wake in her cot at 3, and when i put her in the bed with us she settles immediately... SOmeones she just wants to cuddle...

Here's a pic of Morgan on her swing and slide... the look of delight on her face was priceless!

Hey Ladies,

Sjo, I have been SUPER busy lately. With Anja and working from home, I hardly have time to breathe.

All your little baba's look Gorgeous and Handsome.

Anthea, sorry to hear about the asthma, I myself also have asthma, not fun!
Can only think it is so much more difficult when it is your baby! Good luck.

Tazzy9,
I too have a toofless wonder.
And she also scrunches up her nose when we try to make her laugh.

AFM,
Well Anja is still BF with me on the Eglynol to help keep up my milk supply. She is eating solids, but no protein yet, only going to introduce Goatsmilk and goats yogurt at 9 months due to her sensitivity to the protein in dairy. also scared to intoduce meat too soon.
She loves her veggies though. She isn't sleeping very well. She is up to feed every 2-3 hours.
Anja went to a kiddies birthday party yesterday, it was a prince and princess party so I made her a little snow white outfit. I also helped the mommy with the cake seeing as cakes are my business...

Here are a couple of pics... of the cake, anja in her outfit and a pic of her scrunched up face.
