August-September 2010 Moms

yes K explores now with her hands standing up. lets go and could not be bothered

she has been standing up since end of 6 mnths but now she is out of no where, even no furniture around, she tries to jump up on her own high up,that she is practically standing up on her own. without even near any furniture.

she keeps doing it, each time, she is very determined

otherwise she is standin up againist furnture everywhere, even the dust bin in the kitchen, she pushes it forward and walks with it. actually anthing she can stand up against, she does it. so funny

Congrats Dakota, Robyn i was about to post that Fayaz stands very well unaided for a long time, any other babies doing this, he is getting very confident he crawls to the coffee table stands up and lets go hopefully he will be taking his first steps any day now.

ok...dr was just here...my lil Liam has to stay another 2 days at least...so now it is saturday...

and dr changedhis meds, cos chest is still very inflamed. have to stay on this meds for 14days, then he has a follow-up with dr and we will take it from there.

please continue to keep my lil man in your prayers..

Woo Hoo!!!
Dakota just stood by herself for 10 seconds!!!!!!

Kerry – Yay for K growing so well I’m glad she had a good visit at the paed

Jeanine / Sonay / BabyK – I think we are all in the same boat. Apparently Evan was very mis at school until they gave him pansarol. Midnight he was crying so badly, I eventually got the Ashtons and Parsons in and some Nuerofen. He slept well after that and woke just before 6 for his bottle and slept for another hour thereafter. I cant see any teeth but his gums are super swollen and he is drooling so much he actually got a rash!

I agree, rather go back and speak to the clinic sister you like. Don’t stress yourself about something when the lady couldn’t answer any of the basic questions you asked… I am taking Evan tomorrow afternoon for his 9 month shots. I had to put it off because of his ear infections and grommets.

Robyn – OMW 2 in one. I hope it goes quickly so you are fresh faced for your 1st week back at the office It’s always a good thing when DH notices you’ve lost weight! It means it must be really noticeable, they never see these things

BabyK – Oh no I really hope it all gets sorted out soon and DH gets the bakkie he wants. It’s such a pity that he has to go through this whole process again because of some other doofus! Sorry about your car I know you were hoping it wouldn’t come to this. I also wouldn’t be happy paying excess, extra to the panel beaters and having to do the post repair checks

I love Johnny’s little car! Such a cool gift! He’s doing better than Evan, he still will not crawl at all. He freaks out when he is on his tummy. He is however running when we hold his hands. He and DH gave me a demonstration last night, I was shocked. So we are walking him between rooms when we go places now He also loves standing but not pulling himself up yet I am getting nervous about his mobility… I haven’t really childproofed the house much yet…

I gave Evan a strawberry the other day and he loved it! I will upload a pic I didn’t have any issues.

M2M – Poor Liam! Poor You! I really pray he gets better soon so you can get some rest. You must be wrecked. Hospitals are not the most comfortable places at the best of times and definitely not for “visitors”… I hope your hubby’s trip goes quickly and he gets back ASAP. At least Liam can get some nutrition in… I don’t know but I guess for now, something is better than nothing… I am keeping you in my prayers! Big hugs!!

I am so looking forward to Sunday I just want the weekend to be here already…

Hi ladies

Sorry I haven't written in so long.
Hope all the sick babas recover super fast. Poor little things. Shame M2m, thinking of you and your little guys

Well I spoke too soon about my car, they are scrapping it It wasn't worth fighting for it - we did try fight but they would only fix it if we put in an extra R5k and it wasn't practical, the value was so low and it would need a service afterwards so I would end up spending half the value on the car and who knows if it would ever be the same again. So I'm going to take over DH's golf when he gets his bakkie and he will use the money we get paid out as a deposit on the bakkie. Still waiting on the bakkie seller to furnish the dealer with the papers. Very suspicious situation there so the dealer is sourcing other bakkies for Simon to check out.

Looking forward to the meet on Sunday!

Robyn, I can't believe bootcamp is over already and you are almost back at work, where is this year flying to? Well done, you must feel nice and fit now. Ja the stomach issue is a tough one. I always had a tummy before I was pregnant but now its ridiculous, I'm tired of looking like I'm still pregnant

Johnny is teething really badly, no new teeth that I can see yet though so I think his teeth are moving around in his jaw and there is lots of inflammation - his cheeks are swollen and apple red most of the time. I've ordered a teething necklace from Casandra-Ann, it should arrive this weekend. Can't wait to try it out - who's got one and do you think it works with your LO's?
But other than the teething he is doing well, lots of rocking on his knees and still moving backwards but not actually moving his knees forwards yet. Standing nicely although not pulling himself up yet. But now he hates being put down to sit, he would rather stand, he locks his knees, its so cute.

Someone mentioned the other day whether to give LO's corn yet? I gave J corn a few weeks ago (I overcooked them) and he ate them fine but they CAME OUT WHOLE in his nappy! I was a bit taken aback but also thought it was quite funny. So then I cooked a mince with some peas and corn and onions and tomato and garlic (for DH and I) and I used my stick blender on Johnny's portions and he LOVED that - so I would suggest blending the corn still but no reason not to give to them.
What about strawberries? Are they fine to give them yet? I didn't think there was anything wrong with them but someone said to me not before a year and that was the first I'd heard of it.

J definitely has a problem with yogurt and cream cheese so I give him a yogurt only every few days and a cheese wedge every now and then. I have given him the purity yogurts (mixed with fruit) and he seems fine with them.
But he still vomits every day, still not sure if its normal or not at his age. I must still book his vacs. I thought he was sick on the weekend but turned out it was still just teething.

Aaargh, I better go, got tons of work that I just don't have the desire to do, better try get something done while J is napping...

Hope you girls have a good day, KEEP WARM xx

PS: J got a 'car' from DH's ex work colleages when it was his company baby shower before J was born and we opened it up on Sunday - he LOVES it! It just rocks for now, then it converts to a push car with wheels that I can push him in and then finally to a push bike that he can drive himself.

Hi ladies
Sorry to everyone with sick and sad babas

Looks like D has 2 more toofies coming soon
(she has always been in the 25th percentile for weight and 75th for height)

Bootcamp was great-I did lose 1 or 2cm everywhere (and DH did say he liked what he saw from behind ) but I don't feel like I've lost much weight and def not enough cm's from my tummy so am still wanting to take some more drastic actions!

Back to work on Tues
