August-September 2010 Moms

PinkMommy - I just made Mango and papaya for Kaelyn, and you can do apples, pears, bana and Avo

Hope thats more variety?

Aaah so sorry about the pre-teen, but i am sure she will come right, at least she learnt her lesson now

And YAY on IZ being able to express her desires! She just wanted a swim

Ok, so I must be the most neurotic mom around, but my baby just asked/demanded to go swim!

We were having playtime on the lounge floor, and our maid went out the sliding door leading to the swimming pool. Iz was sitting watching Barney in front of me. When Iz spotted the pool. She then flipped around holding her arms at me like when she does when she wants to be picked up. I took her and sat her down again, then she flipped around again holding her arms out, this went on 3 times, when I figured she wants something else. Now she's standing in front of me staring at the pool. I ask her, if she wants to go swim. So I take her to the pool and sit her on my lap dangling her feet in the pool. Not what madam wants, she wriggles herself down to the water, making her legs dead straight so I can't get her to sit on my lap. Guess who won?

I had to call my maid to witness it all, cause it's just too far fetched for anyone to believe

Hi Ladies

Thanks so much, Evan ate his veggies last night for the 1st time in ages I didnt give him any protein though so he woke at 2 am starving... At least he is a much happier chappy and is coughing much less and taking feeds much better

I will never set foot in his ex-paeds office again!

How cute is Willem's pic! Love the shopping basket picks! I let evan sit in the trolly in the top half. He sits so well and even holds onto the handle I'm so glad to hear Willem's measles are gone

Still cant get the picture loading thing right Will figure it out...

Yay to all the new teeth! So nice. Still nothing for Evan. His gums are getting whiter / lighter on the front, bottom like where your roots are in your gum, it looks like adults gums. Maybe we will get teeth before he's 1...

Crawling still doesnt happen, be have the beached penguin thing going on. He lifts his legs and arms and kind of rocks on his belly. So funny.

Hi all!

Awh you make me feel so welcome!


Iz wasn't eating well yesterday, whereas she usually loves her food . What other fruit can I cook for her? There isn't much of a variety available at the moment.

I've kinda convinced my mom to go with me to the Sa's. I just now need to convince my stepdad . Then it will be a jol and a half! Ja ja, I'm trying to convince myself . I want to cry just thinking about leaving DH behind for 2 weekends and a whole week . I'll ma just have to put on my 'big girl' panties and do it, hey?

Abby is driving me nuts! Keep on telling Grace to keep away from her cause she has germs! So I had it this morning! And banned Abby from touching Iz or anyone else for that matter for the day so she can feel what Grace feels like when she does that to her! I dropped off a very unhappy pre-teen at school!

BabyKsmom, hope John gets better soon soon!

Hey ladies – haven’t posted in a while because its HECTIC at work!! Emily is doing great. 1 more tooth on it’s way out on the top. She still only crawls when she feels like it and only for short distances, but she now goes from lying flat on her tummy to sitting straight up on her bum in a split second! The dancing is getting crazier, she now does it for much longer and she was initially only moving her upper body, now she is trying to move her bum around as well while she sits. She does love her music that one 

We went away for our anniversary on Sunday night, but DH and I both missed her so much that we were back home shortly after 2PM on Monday. My mom stayed with her and she was quite niggly through the night, so won’t be leaving her too soon again.

As for the meals, I bought the Annabel Karmel recipe book and my mom and I are having so much fun trying out the recipes for her. We are stocking the freezer very nicely. Emily is also loving it. So far she has had fish and carrots in orange juice and cheese, chicken with sweet potatoes and grape and tonight she is having ground beef with some root veg. Everything is still made to a puree though. For lunch we are also trying the different combinations and today she had cooked pear and apple with raisins and cinnamon. She drinks 5 x 150ml bottles per day and sleeps from 7:30 to 5:30. At 5:30, she has her first bottle and then goes straight back to sleep until 7:30ish.

Hope all the sick baba’s get better soon 

Hello PinkMommy! I like that, pink for all the pretty in pink girls. Wow, all the plans for Champs sound so daunting but also very exciting. Well done on your torture sessions, I would love to do something like that, really struggling to get to the gym.

Kerry, I know exactly what you mean, I wouldn't like to have to rock my baby to sleep all the time but it feels so wonderful when my baby needs me a bit more and I can soothe him. Only moms have the power sometimes.

So John has a tummy bug and a cold, which has turned into a cough. Both aren't too bad, no infection has set in so he does not need antibiotics. Got a homeopathic cough mixture and some baby neurofen and then also probiotic powders and I'm carrying on with his reuteri for a while. I wonder if I had not stopped the reuteri if the bug might have skipped him? But paed said at his 6-month check-up that he didn't need to be on them permanently.

Cols! Fantastic news that Evan is better and well done on going for a 2nd opinion. I was going to say maybe try a new paed but I didn't want to step on any toes. A friend of a friend's son was ill for almost a year, constantly sick and paed kept on prescribing antibiotics. Mom went to a diff paed and it was discovered that he had glandular fever and 1st paed had not picked it up! It even stunted his growth! So its always a good idea to try someone new if you're not happy. Moms trust you own instincts!

Ok better run, got so much work its coming out my ears and must try work while Mister is playing nicely on his donut.

Shame Jeanine, I don't know how you moms do it - up all night with baby and then office job all day. At least I don't have to dress up and wear makeup I hope you get more sleep tonight xx
