November 2010 babies!

I was gonna suggest the mesh feeder, esp with very slippy things like apple, banana etc apricot dried fruit is nice and dry and holds well together, Alex coughs and splutters, all drama queen really cos it was attached to the roof of her mouth haha

Shes not too young in that sense but might not be ready for big pieces right now

Seems a lot of money to spend just for a couple of days and not knowing hardly anyone there, you could have a family trip away for a similar price BUT you do deserve a break

All I wanted was some ideas of stuff I can take with me to give her when we aren't at home. Is that too much to ask?

we've had a nice day here, we went out for brunch and xanthe ate bits of orange from the table. then we were heading to the supermarket when i realised that xanthe had shat all through her outfit and capsule.

it was everywhere! i went through almost half a pack of wipes and xanthe still needed a bath. so so gross. now the capsule cover is in the wash so i'm not going far until that dries!

i tried xanthe on some banana today, she seemed to enjoy it. she usually spits it out by pushing her tongue forward - it that the extrusion reflex or just her learning how to swallow? she does want the food as she keeps opening her mouth for more, but then she pretty much just spits it out.

sarah, not sure about the wedding, it does sound pricey. could you maybe stay longer in sydney with friends to make it more worth the cost?

Gosh Fleur, pretty sure I didnt aim anything too bad in your direction??? I just said whats with the lunch thing?? Just didnt understand why you thought lunch out was so difficult and I gave you some ideas :)

Uncaring mummy was aimed at myself

Fleur- there's a yellow jar from watties that's this yummy yoghurt dessert stuff. Doesn't need to be in the fridge- and it's from six months. I always kept a jar of that on standby. I hope Lachie has grown out of his lactose intolerance so he cam have it too.
Otherwise- avocado? Ooh, and a tin of of watties peaches and semolina( I think???)

Hmm, think I missed something? Anyway. I have no suggestions on what to take out for baby to eat because I never have. I don't like to recommend anything unless I've actually tried it myself. We eat out a lot & I've never found not taking something an issue, I just give them something to goob on like a crust or whip out the boob/bottle, never had a problem with doing that. The kids are all very flexible, love trying new foods- IMO because I've never done "special" foods for them.

Yay for picking up DH ttj. Woo hoo!

Have been in the kitchen today too, following 2 hours picking up rubbish along the river this morning. Found a bmx track/jumps hidden alongside the river that I am sure Oli will love as he grows up. Funny to think like that when you see thingsm - bet we won't be living anywhere near here by the time he is on a bike!

Soup, quiche, muffins, feijoa loaf, kumara, carrots and butternut for Oli and veges prepped for a curry during the week.

Gassy wee man today. He had pumpkin today which he's had before, so not sure what that was about. Pretty cute, his body tenses and his face changes - often as I am putting him to bed for a nap. Hee hee.

Sounds like you had a lovely day shesmiles! Anyone else watching the real L word? I want more tattoos, lol, not because I'm a lesbian but because some of the ladies have some stunning tattoos.

where your DH off to Kelz?

Fleur - whats up? missed something again have I?!

I love my boy - but it is NOT cutey cutey to talk to yourself and blow raspberries for an hour at 430am LOL. If I had gone to sleep with my Ipod in as normal I wouldn't have heard him., but dam it I forgot so he woke me. Never grizzled but I spent the hour laughing at his talking

WellI think the food malarchy has finally clicked with my boy!! he still not interested in Milk, but dam is he excited about solids!!! weetbix he can't get enough of and his farex at night ne practically inhales the spoon! Thank god for that, now he can just eat whatever we are from now on! (within reason... not sure he would have appreciated the sushi and tempura and curry we had over the weekend.......)

horrible night here with my sick boy - up every half an hour cause he cant breathe with his dummy in and spits it out then gets upset cause he likes his dummy - along with that he has runny poos but i keep checking his temp has only got as high as 36.8 i am a walking zombie after 3 really bad nights sleep early early night for me tonight. very glad he is a litle bit sumo cause he is off his food still getting some in just takes a long time - dont want him getting dehydrated, guess i better ring and cancel imms for thursday bet that was his master plan haha that and he has first swim class on thursday
