nevermind, is he sitting up yet? maybe it will be easier when he can, jesse can do it just about but nor for very long, though if hes sat on my knee he can go a good five minutes not leaning on me or with me touching him, maybe he feels safer sat on me than on the floor were he panics abit and falls, if jesse isnt in the mood he slumps in his highchair and tends to get on arm stuck under the trya but when hes in a good mood he will sit happily on not slump it all depends!

 

[Pippin]

I'm lurking just wanted to say everyone. Not much to say, Sam's sitting and loving his high chair but not feeding him much at the mo just a bit of finger food. xxxxx

I read the last few pages of posts this morning but didn't have time to respond but now I do and can't remember what I wanted to say!

One thing my mom always says is- once you think you've figured something out with a baby, things will change. So whoever is having a cranky highchair sitting baby (Shadow??), I'm sure in a week things will change and get better, LOL. Same with all of us who have little ones who aren't sleeping well right now- give it a few days and things will change!

Kira has been napping soooo well today! It makes for a happy mommy since I can get stuff done for work since I have an agreement with work that I only have to attend part time if I do a few odds and ends at home during naps. I think I read that there's 2 of us heading back to work soon- I'm just nosey and wondering what you're planning to do with childcare. My mom watches Kira which is so nice. I feel guilty for feeling this, but I do enjoy the little break from being a mommy while at work. I think Kira likes all the attention she gets from her grandma too.

Hi Spidey. I'm not going back until July but we are checking out a childminder this weekend so we shall see how that goes. They come recommended so we'll probably go with them unless I walk in and feel totally underwhelmed. It's £5 an hour but that's all I know.

so last night my mum decided that jesse was 'hungry' while i was out shopping and fed him a jar and yoghurt i just feel like shes undone all my hard work but she just wont listen, i cant really have a go at her cus were staying in her house for like 40pounds a week which is nothing really so what can i do?

i bought him loads of foods though so ill be prepared and as soon as i get BLW book im gunna make her read it,

this morning he had a rice cake with dairylea on and some banana, he sucked all the cheese off the rice cake and seemed to like it he didnt really bother with banana cus he couldnt really grip it properly, he has aproblem of sort of swiping things off the tray onto the floor whilst trying to pick them up, i know he will get out of it soonish though,

HE SAT UP BY HIMSELF FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES LAST NIGHT!

i was soo proud he had the odd wobble but he managed to balance himself it was soo good, im just gunna keep practicing with him but wow im soo proud hah! xx

YAY BOOTHH!!! I saw the piccies of it on facebook. He's so cute hun.

And GRR at your mom. I know your living under her roof and everything and she's being very kind. But Jesse is still your son and she should respect boundaries. If you told her specifically you didn't want him jar fed, I don't see how it would be so hard to respect your wishes. It's not like you are asking some crazy thing of her. I hope she understands after reading the book.

AFU-Emma's been screaming mamamama all day. Two days ago it was dadadada. Does this count as first words or not? I know she doesn't know what they mean obviously but it's something she repeats over and over. I wrote it down either way. haha. It's like my heart gets big hearing her yell mamama. I don't care if she doesn't know what it means yet, it's still nice to hear.

hiya girls
sounds like all babys are doing good with food.
boothh sorry to hear youer mums not on bord with the blw. I WOULD and Will never give my kids the jars agane we have had so much trouble with rueben and eating because of them and my sis lo is the same she was on jars and now will not eat.

I had to take rueben to A&E last night i was making tea and he runs up to the sofa and jumps on it and banged his eye on the hard sharp arm and there was blood every where so oh couldnt look as him and blood dont go so was left down to me to clean it up a bit and take him he has 3 stiches and a very black eye. At lest he wnt do it agane we have told him not to so meany times but boys will be boys.

Lucas is eating some sweetpotato atm and seems to be loving it. cnt belive he is 6months today where did the time go

 

[ShadowRat]

Cute, Cleck: Vince has been saying "Mamamama" for ages, and more recently it's "Rarara".I think there's two "first words" really: the one that's a sound that they randomly make that happens to sound like a real word, and the one where they say something with intended meaning

 

[cleckner04]

tmr- Happy six months to your LO today!! I just glanced at your ticker. hehe.

 

[Boothh]

yaay six months i really do not know were the time has gone!

jesse has just a piece of garlic bread and he LOVED it! looking at us and going MM MMM MMMM while he was eating it and licking his fingers that had the garlic butter on, i said to OH.. you think he likes it? LOL xx

 

[Pippin]

Boothh Sam likes garlic pitta too, very funny, apparently I did as well. The kid has taste!!!

 

[cleckner04]

You girls are so brave with the BLW already! I have been sticking to veggies, cheese, toast with puree, fruit, and rice cakes so far. Oh and plain noodles without any sauce. Although tonight we are going to try chicken! EEKK! She only gets lunch with me anyways. But today she'll have dinner for the first time with us. I hate seeing her grow up so fast. hehe.

 

[Boothh]

i love garlic i put it into everything so im glad he likes it, we had chilli but i make it reeally spicey so didnt want to give him any xx

 

[cleckner04]

Okay gross. One bad thing about Emma eating solids. Her farts now smell like grown up farts. She keeps farting and it is the nastiest things. Before you'd never smell it. Even her poo has never smelled. Why oh why can't she just have breastmilk poos for the rest of her diapering days?!

 

[Shiv]

hi girls - lots of talk of development!
Well done Jesse on sitting up for so long - sounds like he has got the hang of it Booth! I hope your mum will read the book and then understand what you are trying to achieve with BLW. It sounds like Jesse is doing well
Cleck - smelly farts are the worst and we haven't even started weaning yet!
Sophia's started to smell like her Daddy's at 4 months - seriously bad!And yay for Emma saying dada and mama - must make your heart melt. Oh and I was reading a thread yesterday that you were participating in that made me LOL! That Katie girl seriously over-reacted! (Hope I don't start a war somehow by writing that!)
Shadow - sorry you have been having a stressful time of it - glad that things seem to be working themselves out though

afu - well David went in for his knee op yesterday - it went well and he cmae home today but will be on cutches for 2 weeks so I have 2 people to look after!
Sophia luckily has been on reallygood form. I had forgotten what it was like to have a reallyhappy baby (she has been a bit grumpy for a few weeks now) - anyway her re-found happiness has coincided withher reducing her feeding - so I wonder if she has just been going through a mammouth growth spurt and is now happyto be on the other side!!

 

[cleckner04]

Shiv- about that thread yesterday. I thought about coming in here and getting you girls involved but than decided against it. It got locked so quickly anyways. I was giggling the whole time reading it. I cannot believe how Katieeeee was acting. I've seen some drama on this forum lately.

 

[cleckner04]

I just wanted to add, I'm so glad none of us are really that dramatic about things. We tend to be considerate of eachother. I know we had a few fights and arguments in third tri though. Those were some good times.

 

[Boothh]

yeah but the arguments were with the septics wernt they or that weirdo W4B hahahaha

 

[Boothh]

BLW book has arrived

 

[Shiv]

Yay Booth - I hope you find it interesting. It is a little bit repetitive but I think it made an easy read.

And I remember those fights on third tri - I also remember they always involved W4B!

My best friend gave birth yesterday!!! She went in for induction at 2pm on Wednesday and finally gave birth at 6.45pm on Thursday She was in labour for over 20 hours and ended up having an epidural which not only made her itch all over but also made her projectile vomit! SO for teh last 10 hours of her labout and for an hour afterwards she was throwing up Then finally they had to use forceps on her afetr 2 hours of pushing! Baby Ewan was 9lbs 6oz . She seems over the moon now - it is amazing how quickly you can forget!!
SO today I went shopping for presents! I am quite jealous that she has a new baby - I hope he will be a good feeder and sleeper for her!

So i feel like I have nothing planned for teh rest of my life - I have no nights out, or visitors or ANYTHING to do!! My life is pretty much Sophia, David and Baking!! Don't get me wrong, I love my life but it would be nice if Sophia would take a bottle so I could plan somethign exciting! It is my birthdya in April (the big 3-0!) and I had hoped to go away for the weekend without Sophia but never mind! Moan over, i know I am soooooo lucky with my life!

Anyone up to much this weekend - I hope you all have lovely ones x
