Hi Everyone
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Looks like you all had a good time.
I know I've not posted since last year I'm terrible, just been catching up on you all.
Oh where to start.
Libb I'm sorry to hear about your grandad.
Egypt How is your dad doing now? Is the trip to Prague still on?
Helsy glad to hear that your house move will be soon.
Spots glad to hear that dd is fine. I can remember checking on dd1 once when she was little and she was sleeping with her eyes open, it was a bit creepy. My granny told me that I used to do that when I was a baby as well.
Sorry to hear that our little May babies are hving trouble with eating and sleeping.
Dd2 has decided in the past week that it's fun to get up at 4.30am every morning on the dot! She rolls over in her sleep then can't roll back so wakes up and gets annoyed. I usually try to turn her back over and hope that she goes back to sleep but she's usually wide awake and is having none of it she's not hungry just awake and wanting to play. The only way to stop the angry screaming is to bring her into bed with me and Dh. She thinks it's great fun once she's in our bed to chant dadadada and pull his hair, the thing is he sleeps through it all! I'm the one lying there wide awake saying don't do that, be quiet, go to sleep.
I think she's waking because she's cold because once she's in our bed after chanting for dada and pulling his hair she cuddles down and goes to sleep it's all very strange and exhausting.
Eating is going well though today she managed to eat a whole tin of baby food, I usually only give her half and did the same today but she got so upset when it was finished that I gave her the rest and she ate the lot! And I managed to get her to drink some water out of her cup, wow. I will get round to doing home cooked meals eventually. Made her some lentil soup the other day using her non salt chicken stock, she loved it, I tasted it and thought it was very bland and needed salt, lol
I decided today that she was going to be a GF baby. Someone at work gave me the GF weaning guide book. It had come free with a baby magazine. So I was reading through it this morning and decided to try and follow a routine. Gave her an early lunch and put her down for a 2 hour nap, which only lasted an hour but it was a start. Going to try and stick to it though to see if I can get her to eat at more regular times. We make up her botles to 7oz but she never ever finishes them so that was another reason to try it. Sometimes she drinks 5oz sometimes only 3 or 4oz. Hoping that I can get her to drink 3 full 7oz bottles like in the routine, we'll see how it goes though.
Dd2 can't crawl yet, but she can sure move fast when she wants to. She crawls commando style using her left elbow and her right knee to move her along. She does go up on her hands and knees though and rock back and forth but hasn't figured out how to move one knee at a time to go forward yet. She sort of launches herself forward with both feet which is really funny.
she will sit unsupported for a little while if someone is sitting behind her to catch her as she fals over. So long as she is absorbed in something she'll sit for a while but when she tries to reach for something else she loses her balance. And she loves to wave at people, mainly dd1.
And look at all these January birthdays.
Happy Birthday Egypt and Happy Birthday Kbaby for tomorrow.
Can I join in and announce that my Birthday is on Monday? Kbaby your exactly 3 days older than me I'm also going to be 28, OMG 28 when did that happen? Do I have to act like a grown up now? Or can I wait until I'm 30?
ok going to go as it's getting late, I alwasy mean to have an early night and end up staying up later than I meant to.
talk again soon
