August-September 2010 Moms

Geez Hi all!

Maybe I should re-introduce myself LOL!

Iz is keeping me SOOO busy. She is a little horror. I took her to the paed on tuesday. She has ear infection. Figures why my child has been so niggly. As I am catching up I see all of them are being a handfull at night. Urgh, Iz is a handfull night and day! She won't let me do anything. Cries non-stop. Hence she gets picked up, cause I feel sorry for her being sick. Ending up in me having inflamation in my wrist.

Iz is far behind on everything! She is only now discovering feeding herself. She loves potato pops, smackaroos, veggie fingers, fish fingers and wors. Though I fear the dog gets more than she does, so I still give her puree and then when we eat, I give her some finger food. We stay clear from all forms of dairy at this stage still. Doc said it's still too early to test her, we must just keep a food diary of what causes her to cramp. Mainly I picked up dairy, tartrazine and msg's. She also only drinks her milk, refuses to come near tea or water.

My baby girl is 9 months old today! Her vocab is now pappa, baba, oupa, MAMMA, ouma. So proud Mamma also came into the mix! She waves her hands in the air everytime she hears music, which is so cute, when we walk in the mall past a shop who's music is on loud, her hands go up! She is trying very hard to clap hands. Her piggy nose smile now turned into something resembling a tortoise smile! Pics to follow!

No normal crawling as yet, leopard crawling, followed by a bunny hop. Kinda giving up on that one!

Any of your LO's got earrings yet?

Keep the food ideas coming!

I am really missing my girls, wish it's monday already!

Welcome to all the new mom's.

Yikes, we need to get our butts into gear with the party planning!

Friday - YEAH!!!!! Doesn't feel as if this has been a short week - I am sooo tired. Emily was up alot last night (not up, but awake). I tihnk I went to put that dummy in 4 times and DH twice! THen at 5:30, up for a bottle and would not settle again so I brought her to bed with me for a snuggle, but that meant no more sleep for me even though she nodded straight off not fair. I took her to my mom at about 6:30AM and got ready for work, but soooo wanted to get back into bed instead. Its tough coming to work in winter even though its a sunny day today, its still cold and dark in the morning.

Kerry and Sher - we eat out with Emily and try to be home by 8:30/9 for the latest. BUT she is only happy and content if we are out at a restaurant - if we even try to be at someone else's house in the evening, the child goes MAD!!! So, I don't take her to dinner at anyone else's house anymore

Still not sure what I'll do for Fathers DAy I got Tanzanite earings for mothers day, so I guess I have to get him something special as well = but WHAT!?

my hair app is next sat the 28th... i cant wait. DH will watch her for the few hours...he is good like that

today is so freakin cold, what is up with this weather.... makes me want to hibernate in my house snug watching tv...

Only twice a week... thursday we eat at the MIL's and friday we go out with my parents.

Soo glad its friday unfortunately DH is working so i have to get up on saturday and sunday... sooo not fair, he usually takes the morning shifts at least on one of the two days.

and then on saturday Kaelyn is going to het Godmother so that my mum and i can go to the hairdresser.

you go out almost every night to dinner

shuu, lucky that your parents take you... saves time making dinner at home

tonight is mom nights off DH came home at 7pm last night, i was knackered... K slept usual time of 8pm and he did the shift.

tomorrow is a big game of rugby and almost planned a braai at our home but decided to give it a miss... it only starts at 7 and finishes at 9pm.... babies wont sleep with all the noise and screaming. her nursery is so close the lounge. being a light sleeper she will wake up. will do a braai when there is no rugby....

today is Friday.... apart from our babies, what else can anyone tell us, just a breather

You are welcome!

We still go out to dinner almose every friday night... my parents take us... and Kaelyn takes her bottle at 7:30 and then pops off to sleepyland. Sometimes she does battle to get to sleep, in which case hubby and i will walk her to a quiet corner and rock her a bit, but in the end she still sleeps.

Thanks Kerry
