welcome Art and chocolateshoes! Another 22nd Junie, so is my ds and Charley's as well as Sky - and mandymac too I think?
Sky - you poor thing, every two hours. Groan.
Cratchit - poor your little ds. I don't know what the doctor suggested but I would cut out dairy rather than wheat. However, if you do cut out wheat, don't give him oats or you will be invalidating your experiment, if you know what I mean. Re: cornflakes, personally I would give organic cornflakes as I would imagine they are lower in salt and things than the Kellogs, although I think Kellogs have been going on recently about how they're cutting down on the additives in their breakie cereal. Hope all your new fab prescriptions help.
My ds had his first taste of bread yesterday - gluten free and cooked by daddy! He thought that was nice to chew on. Tea, I assume the idea with the cucumber and apple is the bits are too large for them to attempt to shove into their mouth so they can gnaw on them instead? After the 'bread' experiment yesterday I am ready to attempt something in the way of finger food.
Fave toys - definitely TV remote, plastic bits which are meant to hold a proper toy on to the side of the cot, wooden train (has figured out how to pull on the string to bring the train towards him!), anything with a teething ring, and anything with a mirror in. And paper!
No teeth, we have sitting, and rolling - annoyingly involving rolling over in the night and then waking up demanding to be turned over despite knowing full well how to do it himself.
Today's new game, a variation on the old favourite "pull Mummy's glasses off". We have had a spate of "pull Mummy's glasses off and hit her round the head with them" but now we favour "pull Mummy's glasses off and throw them away, rendering her virtually blind and unable to move". Had to put him down (carefully) and then feel round the room looking for the bloody things.
2happy - love the idea of you flapping about. We manage 'milk' mainly (due to ds' absence of weaning action) and sing a few songs, like Old McDonald and Three Little Ducks. Look for the little girl doing aeroplane, that's my friend's dd!
giddy - poor you, another week and yet more, as you say, rubbishy grey weather. Winter sucks!
tea - second part-time job? Good god, woman. You will surely be exhausted! Is there no way of doing some accountancy stuff from home? Tax season will shortly be upon us and if I had a tax return to do this year I would willingly give you the bottle of wine I normally need in order to get mine done
Jonah - yay for great bosses, yours sounds fab. My work colleagues are also ultra-sensitive about when they call me, because I work part-time they virtually never want to call in case I am "not working". For heaven's sake, I can take a phone call, and if I can't due to nappy changing/screeching child/whatever, I will not answer the phone. But they all want to make sure they are not intruding on all my fabulous "spare time" I guess!
katz - v interested in your buggy hunt. I would love rearward facing one as I am sure ds doesn't really enjoy being out at the mo, he always sits so quietly and doesn't look around, most unlike his usual self. I would much rather be talking to him. But the Lolla doesn't seem that lightweight to me (I need a lighter one for going on the bus, the Jané is a two-man job) and I wouldn't want to have such an expensive lightweight one cos then I would need another lightweight one for plane travel as I'd worry about that one getting damaged in transit. Ds simply cannot have a different buggy for every mode of transport, it isn't decent Let me know how you get on though.
Have a good day all!
