January 2010 mommies

Thanks, just glad the cupboards are finally finished!! So dh wants to do our room next! I said WHAT??? So he says no we will get someone to do the carcas and he will do the doors coz thats the most expensive and he can get it for cost! i just ignored him, dont have energy for that now!!

Im getting a dishwasher! But, there is a catch to it, he needs to change the work area so it can fit in, wonder how long thats going to take him

Rocco, Leandi doesnt eat my Butternut & sweet potatoe any more?? Just eats veggies at the daymother so i give her mostly fruit and porridge at home!

Lolli, babies dont know about exactly 6 months! Im also going to start using no 2 milk when my current tin is finished, Leandi is already drinking 240ml (since tues) so i can see that she needs a little more "body" to her milk, if you know what i mean. Got the next teats this morning, what a schlep, dont even whant to tell you girls what i had to do to get the right size Im using Dr Browns bottles and its so difficult to get all the teats, at least im sorted now and dont need anything else. Its asif Leandi gets aggitated coz the milk flow is too slow, she hits the bottle, like you hit the tomato sauce bottle, think she wants the milk to come out quicker! Will start using the new teats tonight!

Oh thanks!

Glad to hear C is back to his normal self Annalize!! Yay!

Good morning!

So happy so report that C is back to his old self & back in his old sleeping routine. Slept through for the past 4 nights!

C is sitting & rolling over, but don't always rolls back from his tummy to back, but he is able to get his arms out from under him & lifts himself up. He just wants to move forward and when you place him on his tummy he is always looking for something to 'kick' against to move forward. He just want to stand & when you place him on the floor in a standing position he kick his legs out straight and starts rocking back/front!

Cooked up a storm earlier this week. Cook & frozen some carrots, pumkin, butternut, sweet patato & jem squash. He like the sweet pat. & squash, pear & banana, but not really the butternut unless I mix it with sweet pat. or squash. Going to try a sip of rooibos tea today.

Shame man, I really feel for the moms with the lo's not sleeping through. I was exhausted when C waked up so many times when he was sick.

Yeah, for Leandi's 1st word! C sometimes makes mamma sounds (specially when crying, but I'm not convinced yet that he is actually calling me!). Lihani's 1st word was also mamma & up till Jan of this year, she used to call DH mamma! When she spoke or pointed to him she would speak of pappa, but when she called him it would be mamma! He wasn't very impressed! Glad Leandi is doing better!

Lolli, sorry that you haven't been able to get through to DH. Maybe u must just confront him and tell him you want to sort out your problems, is he on board and willing to work on your marriage?

Angel sorry about your car. Hope you can at least enjoy the day @ your moms & with Cayleigh.

Jems & Christelle, gross about eating the slimmy left overs! Lihani knows I don't touch her left overs. Ask daddy!

Rocco, maybe wait a few days then try feeding Riley again. Maybe try finger foods that she can suck on (just watch for choking). C also gagged on some foods, but the next time I feed him, he seems to start to enjoy it, so just try small amounts at first. Feeding lo's can sometimes really be frustating.

the cupboards look great!!!! definitely worth the wait!

Thanks Lolli, im jst so flippen scared they want to deport her. she's really a fabulous nanny! dont want to loose her

Juanita, i started with squashie one week, then Olli rice cereal the next week, then i tried carrot.. she didnt like it just kept her mouth closed. then we tried butternut.. oh dear! thats where the puking started. went back to squashie but it was too late. she doesnt want anything on a spoon now! if u take the spoon out the drawer she starts moaning already...
so we used a different spoon, managed to get it into her mouth but as soon as she felt the mushie veggies she starts gagging!
little bugger...
i dont think i should worry yet i mean she's only 5 1/2 months old now.

What's skorsie?
