Funny Juanita! Hubby was christened so to speak!

Oh and she loooves to take the sponsie in the bath and suck the water out!

On sunday morning before church i was changing her nappy and i wasnt paying attention and she we we'd on my bed!! i thought ah well im going to bath you now so i left her without a nappy and gave her to her dad. She was lying on his tummy and what do you know?? She we we'd on him!! I couldnt stop laughing!
Good thing we have a matrass protector!

I see Leandi likes to hold her spoegdoek and then stick it in her mouth with her fingers behind it. Will try the cold cloth, provided the weather holds up.

Troy always falls asleep on the boobie or just needs a quick rock.

Juanita - this sounds weird but Jade liked it - wet a clean cloth and then put it in a freezer bag and freeze it then give it to her to suck.

Leandi fights her sleep but i just turn her on her side, pat her bum and then shes off to dreamland. Sometimes i put her in her cot and then put a pillow or a blanket rolled up behind her back and tuck her in tightly, takes about 5 minutes tops and then shes lights out. Sometimes i have to put her dummy back in if it falls out.

Then when i go to bed i put her arms under the blankets coz she sleeps like a starfish!

I wish they would make decent teethers that small babies can actually hold on to and that fits in their mouths. I have a couple but none of them are that nice! Have one that looks like a toothbrush but it has little nobbies at the end, but thats too hard to use all the time. Dont you get like a gel filled teether that is almost like a pen shape??

I am not a fan of letting baby cry. That is the whole problem. If he wines then Im there! That is why I have a brat in training. He wants to sit up and sleep and refuses to lie down. That is why I need for him to understand that he needs to lie down finish en klaar! He is being spoilt and thats why he isnt sleeping!

Im just so tired. Maybe I should take the 2 days leave and just really start doing it. Boss said I should take Thursday and Friday!
She is being too nice being pregnant and all hey!!!! Miracles do happen

I also started sleep training of sorts, T usually wants me to hold him till he sleeps, but now I give him his bottle and just turn of the light-he moans a bit, but then he falls asleep.I do pick him up if he starts crying though...so far he has fallen asleep on his own for 3 nights
