August-September 2010 Moms

babyK - Congrats on dropping the feeds... K has managed (the other night) to finishish a purity stage three already! :-0... but that was during this massive growth spurt she had over the weekend! Now she wont eat the smooth purity stage 2 at dinner time, she eats about 3/4 of a stage three though. and i make my home made meals to match the 200ml size, just in case she is that hungry again!

Hmm looks like its a bad time for a meet, we are already 4 weeks away and battling I guess the first weekend in June is fine too, DH doesn't have a roster for then so he may be working but i am sure he can get them to give him that weekend off when they draw up the next roster.

Babyz – that’s what the ENT told me last time. Evan had finished the last lot of AB and he gave us nose drops for 2 weeks. He said if the fluid hadn’t drained or if he got another ear infection he would need grommets

Sher – that is so frustrating! I really hope things go better until January… We are going to have a get together at my place at the end of may. I stay in North Riding, you are more than welcome to join. Where do you stay?

BabyK – How gorgeous are your photos! I see you guys pack like us I always pack too much stuff!

Charnenay – Evan weighs 9.4kg, 74cm long now…

Ok, so how about the 1st weekend in June?

Evan has tonsilitis and an ear infection again. We're off to the ENT so will let you know...

hehehe BAbyKsmom

Just had to laugh at that last photo - Spot the baby

Guess that what we will look like on a trip (I drive a Hyundai I10 - matchbox!!!)

Hello ladies

Hey Sher, good idea to join our group, I hardly have time to post on the August thread these days, never mind going back and posting on the Sept thread too

Shame Charne, I HATE it when people jump to conclusions like that but its like Kerry says, everyone's an expert so just take it with a pinch of salt.
John was 3.8kg at birth and is now just over 9kg according to my home scale. We've only got the 9 month shots at the end of the month so will weigh him properly then.
He is now very happily playing on his tummy in half crawling mode and still moving backwards sometimes but most often spins around on his tummy. And he is reaching all over the place from a sitting position and often falling onto his tummy so I think the crawling will progress from there.

I am a terrible mother! He rolled off the bed last week when we were on holiday! I was in the loo and I just heard this terrible ~thunk~ and then "Waaaaaaaaaaah". Shame my poor boy. But I couldn't even see a mark on his head or anywhere so I think it was more of a shock for him than anything else.

Ah Jeanine shame your poor mom, my mom broke her ankle about 10 years ago in a similar way. Its not cool, especially for moms who are used to being on the go. Hopefully the 6 weeks pass quickly for her.

Hmmmm, what else? Holiday was superb, was very depressed to be back in the big smoke but feeling better now, especially since I haven't had much work this week so can ease into things slowly again.

John's top 2 teeth have cut through so he is now on 4 teeth! They have only cut through though, they haven't come down yet so they are hard to see.

Luckily I can still change his nappy in the compactum but its a bit of a circus act with all the kicking going on - he has always been a kicker though, in fact he is more expressive with his legs than he is with his arms

Girly, so proud of little Kaylee and all her amazing progress, she is one special little girl And I love your hair! I think I'm still too chicken to go that short though. I will probably cut in a fringe or something and have layers cut in to get rid of the thickness, I feel like an amish woman with my long thick hair, soooooo boring!

Shame Cols and BabyZee, sorry to hear your boys are not well again. Poor things. I hope they both feel better soon. Cols, at least you are already going to the doctors so they can check him out. Love your pics from Delta park - he is such a cute boy
And Jeanine, that pic of Willem with the beeeg eyes, such a cutie pie.

I am keen for another meet - we are probably away the weekend of the 28th though so maybe we/ I can make the next one. Simon is also writing exams next week and he started his new job on Tuesday.

While we were on holiday John dropped his 4th bottle so now he is on 3 bottle a day - 225ml each - and he generally finishes them all now (before he wasn't finishing his 2 day bottles).

His schedule is something along these lines:
6:30/ 7:00 formula 225ml
9:00/ 9:30 honey cerelac (but I put in 2 scoops of formula even though the cerelac has milk in - this it to 'up' his protein)
11:00/ 11:30 snack (yogurt - Woolies full cream, rice rusk, rice cakes, teething biscuits etc and juice/ tea
12:30ish fruit or meat and veg/ pasta/ rice or cheese wedge (laughing cow full cream)/ cream cheese mixed with veg/ pasta/ rice
2:00/ 2:30 formula bottle 225ml
5:00 - 6:00 purity half a jar (sometimes the full jar) 2nd stage or meat and veg/ pasta/ rice or cheese wedge/ cream cheese
6:00 - 7:00 formula bottle 225ml

He also eats off my plate alot - I just mash it with my fingers and he has a piece of toast with cream cheese every now and then as lunch or dinner. He doesn't always eat the quantities above, he seems to have one day where he's hungry and eats more then the next day he eats less. Sometimes we skip the snacks.

On the weekend I bought him 2 of those Woolies pureed baby foods as a special treat - oh my word! Spag bol and lamb and veggies. I said to Simon if we had pots of money John could eat that every day - fit for a King I say

Hey Babyzee

Thanks. how can i forget that too

K also loves playing pee a boo for going on two months now. she also crawls to the bath and hides behind the wall and waits

I think its too cute...

Hi Mommies,

Charnenay Fayaz was born at 3.40kgs he now weights 10.01kgs he is turning 9 months next Tuesday docs says they pick a lot until 6months and then it gets gradual so i wouldn't worry.

Lunch 1p.m Veg and meat
Milk 2:30

I freeze his food weekly i change his protein sometimes beef sometimes chicken i steam everything together butternut, gem squash, carrot, potato, carrot, spinach water else is available and he loves it, i do it every Sunday. I have now increased his food to two cubes as he always wanted more, i hope this helps.

KerryA i have the same problem with nanny change i have to try and be really quick otherwise he could pee on my face

Cols Fayaz also has an ear infection i took him yesterday to an ENT he told me their is fluid behind his ears, he gave me nose drops and antibiotics he says if it does not improve in a month he will have to operate and drain the fluid i hope we don't have to.
