Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hello Mommies

How is everyone?

Lindy- about the earings, its a hard decision. I personally would prefer piercing under a yr because I feel they are alot easier to clean etc and also to do the piercing itself. Although hubby and I don't agree, he feels when she is a teen she can do it being a girl I don't agree. I remember people teasing girls with no earings LOL. But I agree with Elrike, baby girls look so cute with their earings in. And if you do it early and later they don't like then they can take it out.

Deja- saw some of the pics from your holiday, lovely and you looking great. The sand did look hot though lol. And your kids are so cute So sorry to hear about Sion. The head is the worse place to see a drip but I think it looks more painful to us. When M was in hospital they struggled to get the IV in and when they did it kept infiltrating. They would take him away to do the drips coz he would scream blue murder. After seeing the marks on his legs, I will never allow them to take him out my sight again. They always needed two nurses to hold him down I am glad you only had to spend a night with Sion in hospital. Its the worst place to be. They recover better at home shame.

Liz-glad I could help and you are welcome to pop me messages anytime even if its at midnight

Lindy- its quite sad that baby products contain hidden items. Unfortunately we just have to study food labels nowadays. I won't lie, besides saving when making your own food its so much more healthier for them. I have to date cooked 3 times for Michael and he has been on solids for 2 and a half months now. And the transition is so much easier to the family meals. Its advisable to introduce the different colour veggies in stages. And starting yellow veggies is ideal. Every mom will differ but at the end of the day you gotta use what you read as a guideline and just follow your mommy instincts too. I started M on fruit at lunchtime once he was on cereal at night and morning. I then started reducing the night cereal and adding fruit until he ate only fruit at night then I started introducing veggies at lunch time. For allergy reasons they advise giving 3-4 days per veggie to rule out allergies. And whenever trying new foods, do it before 4pm so that if your child has a reaction then you can at least see it. So it doesn't happen while they sleeping and you don't see it. I personally only use Woolies fruits and veg for Michaels purees. I did try fruit and veg once and was really dissapointed. And Woolies fruit & veg really isn't so expensive. I buy two packs of 1kg apples and it makes enough puree for a month for M. Maybe its coz I am a chef, but homemade food is so much tastier. When M was in hospital I did try the Olli, but he spat it out refused it. I find when making your own, you can make more variety. I like using Annabel Karmel's recipes for guidance and ideas. I must admit I do have a dim view on baby jar food I find them very watered down, and extreme temperatures destroy important nutrients.

Elrike- Dis wonderlik dat E om rol

Shame, my sister had a mc at 8 weeks (blighted ovum). Having her d & c done today. Feel so sad for her and her Fiancee. It's never an easy time losing a child.

So what is everyone doing for easter? Any special traditions?
We have bought one choc easter bunny and 6 loose easter eggs LOL will most probably just use it for photos with him in it

Hope you all have a wonderful easter with your lovely families

Hallo julle almal!
Jana - Bly om te hoor julle vakansie was lekker! Jammer oor Sion wat in die hospitaal was. Bly hy is uit! Sterkte daar! Dit was seker nie baie snaaks vie jou toe Nienke vir Sion Roomys gegee het nie....! Luwan het al vir Edrich nou die dag bietjie sappies gegee... Ek het amper uitgefreak!! Maar ek is seker E het niks ingekry nie, want hy gril so - ek kan nie eers medisyne vir hom gee nie! E rol om, maar die sit doen hy nog nie!

Dankie Lindy dat jy my page gelike het! Ek is mal oor Acornkids! Luwan geniet die badprodukte verskriklik baie! Jy vra oor oorbelletjies vir dogtertjies. Ek was 2 toe my ma'le my gaatjies ingeskiet het. Ander mense se dogtertjies moet self vir jou se as hulle oorbelletjies wil he. Vir my is dit mooi as klein baba dogtertjies oorbelletjies in het. Is maar jou eie keuse sou ek se!

Chanz - geluk met M se 6 maande!

Ek het vir julle die special aan van Acornkids. Laat weet my as julle belangstel! Ek kan ook die volledige katalogus en pryslys stuur!

Hey ladies

Skitterling - Thanks did you start L on veg first and then serial afterwards? I read yesterday that sister Lillian suggests you start your baby on yellow vegies first and then serial? and then last night on Carte Blanche they were talking about all the GM (genetically modified) grain that is used in baby serials??? and they don't even have to put it on the box so I'm going to rather use the organic range from purity. The veg etc I will cook myself.

Elrike - I went and liked your page I also love acorn. Ek gaan ook probeer wag tot op 6 maande.

Ek geniet ook die koel weer n bietjie. Happy 6 maande vir M.

Hi Deja - Glad you had a good holiday baie jammer om te hoor van S hoop hy word gou gesond. I know the feeling about baba being in the arms all the time. Lol about the chocolate.

AFU - I am so in love and loving every minute with Kylie she just gets cuter and cuter by the day she had a giggling fit this morning and I just started crying cause it was so beautiful haha . Kylie rolled over once and now only gets to her side and no further haha.

I have a question for those of you with little girls. When is the right time to have her ears pierced? or when did you have your girls ears pierced?

Hi everyone!!!

I just love all the pics of your LO's, soooo darn cute!

Back at work since last week. But I'm enjoy being back, feels like I have more patience with Paul now. I miss him terribly during the day and can't to see him at lunch times and in the evenings. He is getting super cute now.

Just doing a quick hallo to all..... Deja, bly julle het lekker vakansie gehou, maar jammer om te hoor van klein Sion, ag dit breek mos mens se hart om hulle te sien swaarkry. hehehe, moes lag toe ek myself indink hoe moes dit lyk toe Nienke vir hom roomys voer.....

Chanz, I honestly don't know if the amber necklace is working, but I'm with Joey, no way I'm taking it off! He seems less niggly and he's fists are no longer in his mouth all the time.

I've started Paul on solids over the weekend. Thanks for the advice Chanz, sorry, my cell's battery died. I gave him some "Nestle's first cereal", but I think it's a bit "hard" for his tummy. I'm a bit "onnosel" when it comes to solids..... so I gave him some in the morning and evening. He was a bit niggly yesterday. But he enjoyed the cereal very much. Bought him Purity rice cereal today, going to see if that will go down better. He's not rolling over yet, just trying to stand up, bringing his head forward, he doesn't like lying down, always wants to be in the sit position.

Lindy- whoo hoo well done on Kylie rolling over

Skitterling- I saw the pics of Liam eating the pumpkin, so adorable. You can see how much he enjoyed it You will laugh but I didn't know there was a beach on your side LOL Enjoy the beach, kids love the fresh air and its nice for mommy to get out too.

Elrike- Ons het die laaste paar dae lekker koel weer, ons geniet dit. Bly Edrich vorder so goed. Michael raak net so ongeduldig. En die foto van Luwan en Edrich saam is te kosbaar. Ek sal bietjie kyk na jou facebook page

AFU- Michael is 6 months old today, can't believe how time has flown. Michael still hasn't popped any teeth yet although he chews on everything as if he was about to pop a tooth LOL. He has been eating fruits and veg for 2 months now. On monday he started with chicken. So will try fish this week then red meat next week. He is getting so cute now. Rolls perfectly onto his tummy but hasn't yet accomplished rolling back and then he gets so frustrated LOL. He just loves attention at the moment, if you not looking at him he will do something to get your attention. And so observant, I wear my hair up mostly but when I get out the shower and he sees my hair down he will study my face and then give a giggle LOL too cute. And he is so inlove with his pappa at the moment, sometimes he forgets about me LOL. Hubby and I are still trying for baby nr 2. We trying not to lose hope. We hoping that we won't need fertility treatment again. Would love to fall preg on our own

Hope more moomies pop in

Sjoe, dit is heeltemal te stil hierso! Wat gaan aan?

Dit gaan goed met ons. Net die simpel winter wat nou vinnig oppad is. Saterdagaand het hy ons vieslik bekruip en Luwan se stem is vandag weg! Klink so funny as hy huil!! Met Edrich gaan dit goed.. Hy skuifel so rond op sy maag as hy iets soek... Groot geskarrel nog, en hy is baie ongeduldig! Ek het nog nie begin met Solids nie... Ek gaan regtig probeer uithou tot 6 maande! Ek oefen sy beentjies en dit lyk of die suster bietjie te vroeg begin sres het. Hy trap nou op sy beentjie! Ek let maar op, want L speel maar rof met sy boetie.

Ek het weer begin met Acornkids...gaan join asseblief my facebookpage. www.facebook.com/FunStuff4Kids Hou die bladsy dop vir spesiale aanbiedinge.

Hoop om gou van julle almal te hoor! Lekker week!
