Well done on remembering x

I have the dribbliest baby! She has also learnt how to out her fingers in her mouth.

kittykatsforever · 29/08/2013 19:09

Yes kitten is, one more to get through then I think that's it for a year?
Horrible though, got dd1s food for party and tomorrow in going to be baking Grin quite looking forward to it, also bought dd2 forward facing car seat last night, I know it's early still but offer was too good, maxi cosi axciss £115 on amazon with free delivery, should be £225!! And they do go for that much as even on eBay second hand they are 60-90, if anyone needs one I'd highly recommend, we have one for dd1 and its a god send, so much easier to use then a regular

Kitty ~ how is she doing? Does that car seat work with the isofix?

kittykatsforever · 29/08/2013 20:49

She's asleep now but seems abit more unsettled then normal, hearing her move around and moan abit, I've not given any calpol etc but well see how the night goes although she was ok last time, how's baby pear?

It's not an isofix one pear it goes in with the seatbelt but you dont take these next stage seats out if the car generally unless you were planning on sharing one between you and dh? we have one in each car. It fits in but has a tuning mechanism so that when you go to put your baby/child in its facing the door then you turn it around to face the front once they are in in one click, honestly amazing if you've ever had the joy of trying to get a 1plus child into a seat that doesn't want to and saves you knocking their head against roof trying to lift them in, just ask Agnu and frus what it's like lol

Its maxi cosi axiss pear, I spelt it wrong but tap it into google to see pics and reviews x

FrussoHathor · 29/08/2013 21:08

Haha kitty heads of roof and knee in groin, and one hand holding both wrists, and avoiding feet, teeth, nails, and headbutts, and shoulder weighted against child's chest whist trying to do up seat belt and Houdini clips (yes plural) one handed, and repeat ad infinitum, (as dd escapes) until I give up and decide that it's best not to leave the house
Dd1 just used to get in.
I'm getting ds one of these and praying that dd2 grows out of undoing everyone's seatbelts that she can reach.

Have I scared everyone away. Confused normal children aren't harf as bad. But a turntable seat it great if you have a dodgy back.

My #2 takes about 20 minutes of me saying "time to put on your underwear now" 41283213 times before we can go anywhere. It may not be a fight of getting into the car, but man it takes a good 45 minutes before we can even get to thinking about getting in the car bc #2 won't get dressed! SO flipping annoying!

M is also entering dribbling territory and hand-chewing. Hasn't figured out the thumb yet though.

kittykatsforever · 30/08/2013 06:32

Bring ill see your 45 mins and raise you 1+ if there is anything dd1 can use as a distraction technique to not getting ready she does and this is even when we are going to somewhere for here, the zoo, the park etc its a battle everyday!
On her plus note, she was exceptional with the potty yesterday, no accidents every wee in potty, the cynical part of me would even say she was manipulating the situation ( can an under 2s mind work like this?) as dh took her to a play world for an hour+, her nappy was dry when they returned and she did 6, yes 6!! Wees in the next hour, the first 3 with only 5 mins between and ofcourse each wee demanded a chocolate coin I've ditched the bunnys for fear of extreme fatness seems alot by any standard, our next step will be pants and her telling me, at the minute she just runs and goes to the potty herself, she doesn't say anything

Everyone else in my house is sound asleep. I got woken up by leaking pammy boobs after I forgot to express last night. I must be nearly at 8oz & still going on just one side! When I've finished I shall poke DS2 to sort the less painful side.
I blame DH. I was supposed to be going out last night but he didn't get home until 9.15 but I'd already got milk out of the freezer so felt obliged to give it to him. Then I was too exhausted to move by the time both DSs were in bed so fell asleep on the sofa instead of expressing.
9oz...

FrussoHathor · 30/08/2013 08:34

9oz Shock wow. That is Indeed pammiesk

OP posts:
kittykatsforever · 30/08/2013 08:43

9oz ShockShockShock Indead! I did similar Agnu, didn't express after I fed her at 7 as she sucked them dry and I was tired at 9 but woke up with leakage again, used the shells but by the time dd2 woke they were pretty sore, she slept til 8:15!!!! That's 13+ hoursShock
Dd1 woke me to celebrate at 6 boooooooooShock

AGnu · 30/08/2013 10:43

It was 10oz in the end! I had to give some to DS1 because we're running out of space in our tiny freezer! DS2 seems to want 6-7oz per feed so I froze it as 1 bag of 6.5oz, 1 pot of 1.5oz to use with a 5oz bag we have already frozen & DS1 got the rest with breakfast! That puts our current total in the freezer at 26oz which should be sufficient for him for 24hrs, unless it's a particular hungry day. I'll put one more feed in & after that DS1 will need to get drinking until I can start giving it to the bank!

AGnu · 30/08/2013 10:44

Anyone want some milk? Wink
