Clio I love that new piccie! So cute with his bottom sticking up like that!
I bet you want to pick him up and cuddle and kiss him non stop cause he is so delectable
Actually that pic made me think of something I wanted to ask you ladies with older babies especially: how do you dress your LOs? We started putting more jeans and combats and t-shirts and jumpers (sweaters) on the boys when we go out but I must admit I wish they were as easy as putting them into their rompers. So when we are at home it is still rompers. How about you?
Oh and as for the tyxilix we did use a syringe but he still spat it out. Oh well I don't think his cough is very bad so we will just leave it for now.
I have to go back to respond to everyone properly, but I can at least remember some stuff...
Thanks
Angel! But right now, instead of cuddling him, I'd like to gag that kid and drug him. He's yelling at the top of his lungs, for no reason. Just because. He's supposed to be napping. And he's so unbelievably clingy because of teething that I've had to carry him around a lot, especially while working in the kitchen. Out of desperation, I've been putting him in a carrier and then wonder how on earth women work like this all the time with their little ones. Every time I move my head to see around his, he moves his right in front of mine again. And frankly, baby-wearing seems awfully dangerous while cooking.
Okay--what he wears at home. I don't know what the difference between rompers and babygros are, but he wears sleepers almost exclusively. A sleeper is a body suit with feet. There are sleepers without feet, but I want to make sure his feet are aways warm. If we go out, I'll put him in proper clothes.
Sabrina--I totally believe that statistic. J still doesn't sleep through the night. Anyway, isn't the
official definition of STTN 5-6 uninterrupted hours of sleep?
Not that I don't believe that Niko and Thiago STTN! I think they are our little superstars.
Skweek--I would try a blanket! It's really simple and very relaxing. There's a site called
www.Ravelry.com and it's got a great search engine that allows you to filter things and find exactly what you want. For example, if you want to knit a baby blanket using a free pattern, it'll pull up a whole bunch of pictures of what other people have knit, all using free patterns which are then available to you. Just click on the "pattern finder" link at the top, and then "advanced" in the search box.
I have to get back to my knitting. It's just hard to keep knitting stuff around because it is a Jonah magnet, just like cords and anything "tech" (as my husband likes to say). Oh, but my husband couldn't get J to nap this morning, so he got the Cashmerino Blanket (patent pending) and he said it worked like a charm.
Last Night sucked. It was my turn, and I had to get up three times because of the teething. Twice I had to administer painkillers (I've gotten really good at it. I get the syringe ready, and then I wait until his head is back and his mouth is wide open because he's screaming. Then I get it
inside his mouth (this is my husband's problem--he doesn't get it far enough in and with one turn of J's head, he misses), and squirt super, super, super quick. Even if it's a dropper--super quick. Then I leave him in a reclined position until I'm certain he's swallowed it.) Anyway, at the fourth wake-up, I handed the job over to my husband and went back to bed. One can only take so much.
Oh, and I echo Skweek and Borboleta--I love this thread. Thank you kosh! It really is nice to have people in a similar situation to talk with. I never really write in BC, and certainly never start a thread. Most of the women are a lot younger, and it's a bit alienating. Sometimes I wish we had our own forum; then don't miss as much.
Oh, oh! Naptime is over...
kosh! I hope you feel better soon and that it is just that nasty AF visiting. She is with me too atm and I know that horrid down feeling. But your boy really is totally and utterly adorable! I especially love the last two pics! That smile is sooo to die for!
