Its a juggling ball, it is made of soft leather and is filled with beans or something like that. She loves them and puts them in her mouth and carries them like that!!
It is quite funny to watch! |

Well I guess it is time to post over here now!
Thomas does the whole crawl around with something in his mouth thing too! He is having a bit of a funny afternoon today he is totally tired and needs a sleep but is resisting we have a new favourite food here! Mum made mini cheese muffins for the party and he LOVES them! I am trying hard to give him more lunch time variety so thats something else to add to my list! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Cooper is on a food strike! Will only have water and milk. If I'm lucky I can get him to have a tiny bit of bread. He's still not well.
Yesterday he had an allergic reaction to something that he had at lunch, but we can't work out what it was.. he woke up from his afternoon sleep screaming blue murder, Craig got him up and his face was bright red with welts everywhere, looked horrible, we gave him some Histafen and it went down within 10mins...so god knows what it caused it. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Oh mel, I hope that you get it sussed and an eliminate it from his diet. Touch wood we are all good here, apart from the reflux!
It's amazing seeing them do all the different things now and I have to say I just love watching her do all this stuff! Glad that T is loving the muffins, have started giving A more stuff and see is doing ok, so we'll see what happens! |

I just want him to get better so I can ditch the formula and give him proper milk, although I have a nagging feeling he's allergic to diary... he probably isn't, it's just a feeling,... ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

that would have been awful mel! hope you find out what the reaction was to soon! scary!
we have been really lucky with everything so far the only reaction he has had was to when they changed his formula he loves his cows milk now! he drunk 3 full bottles today the most he has done for ages! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mel, you would probably find that if he was allergic to dairy he would have possibly reacted to the formula, thats only my opinion though!
Ava also loves her cows milk as well, but is still preferring water. |

Yeah I agree Donna, I think it could be diary too. We will see what happens once he's better if we get any reactions to the cow milks. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Oh that's good, I used to heat it up for Nyah too. How many mls of cows milk is he drinking a day now? ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

600mls max usually less than that, he has plenty of dairy in his food though lots of yoghurt, cheese macaroni cheese etc
i am still giving him 3 bottles a day, but he usually only drinks like 130mls at a time or something so its more realistically like 400mls how about cooper ------------- http://lilypie.com">

He's still on formula and not a great eater so I'd say 750mls of that.
I have a cup of water for him "oncall" that I leave on the coffee table for him and he'll usually drink 150mls of that during the day (not in one sitting though). ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Hi guys I should probably make an effort to come on here more often 1 year old already! I cant believe how time flies! It's just as well I found this page 1st, I was just about to ask about switching to cows milk but now all I have to ask is: Does it matter what kind of cows milk they have? We usually get the budget brand lol. And does the switch have to be gradual or can I start giving her full bottles straight away. She doesnt get any reactions 'coz I have been using it with her porridge in the mornings but just wanted to double check if I start giving it to her all at once if that might cause a reaction? I'm so glad we can use cows milk now instead of formula, thats gonna save alot of time and money! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

T drinks heaps of water too which is great!
Hi Aroha! your little girl is gorgeous! It doesnt matter what brand of milk it just has to be full fat so the dark blue top. I think most people swap a bottle of formula for cows milk one by one until all bottles are cows milk, some people i have spoken to do swap one a week or one a day it doesnt seem to really matter too much. Heinz changed Ts formula so his was cold turkey. I have to water his milk down otherwise he wont drink it, a bit too thick and creamy for him i think. inititally it was very watery to get him to drink it all but now he has 160 milk 40 or so water so we are getting tehre! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm looking forward to the switch to cows milk... I didn't even think about watering it down... I don't think I did that with the older kids.  ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

We just switched! Actually we had run out of formula and just gave it to her, she seems to prefer it to the formula.
We have the opposite problem Mel, we have a great eater but she isn't fussed on the milk, but will drink waters till the cows come home!! Aroha, your wee one is gorgeous!! Nice to have another girl, it's all been boys here!!

Aww thanks she can be very strong willed at times but all she has to do is bat her eyes and give her dad a little smile and he falls for it every time haha. I've just been trying her on the cows milk as well and she seems to be taking to it without any problems, she still hasn't had a full bottle yet but maybe I'll have more luck at bedtime. Unfortunately my one's a night owl and it can be impossible at times to get her to settle before 10pm. I hear all my friends say their little ones sleep from 6.30pm right through the night and I just wish I could be so lucky! Lol

I was just waiting for him to get the all clear before we switched... tonight though OMG he was dribbling and his nose was terrible! Oh and we have #7 tooth coming thru too!
He's getting worse with his food too, driving me nuts. BTW I'm bored... ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Ended up taking Cooper to the doctors this afternoon; his cough was getting worse (the cough that just appeared) and he's got croup again. He's had some Redipred (sp) and has Histafen for his runny nose and hopefully we'll get thru the weekend. :sigh:
She said not to start cows milk until he's absolutely 100% so I had to go and buy some formula it was only $12 so I thought that wasn't too bad. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Just watch with the redipred Mel, that is what causes the increased appetite. When Ava gets that she eats like a horse. Also, we have found with it that it has speeded up her teething, she now has 12 teeth! In a way its good but a pain in others!
I hope that he gets better real soon!! Aroha, Ava is very strong willed as well, I've been told that its a girl thing! I think we are going to butt heads when she is older! |

hope cooper is feeling better now mel!
T has had a cough for ages now I am wondering if I should take him back to the doctor to get it checked out again. its been about 3-4 weeks and still isnt going away it doesnt seem to bother him much is mostly at night and in the early morning has anyone switched their car seats over to forward facing? It wont be long before thomas is 12 kg so i am thinking I better start looking into where i can get it done ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Cooper has been forward facing since May. He hated being backwards.
He still has Croup, I haven't taken him back for any more Redipred though, I'll see how he goes today. Maybe get T looked at just in case? ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Yeah I second Mel, if the cough hasn't cleared it def sounds like he has something!
A has also been FF since about 10 months old, hated being backwards and also lying flatter. Personal choice I guess! |

Yay I found you lovely ladies!
How are you all doing? I'm so sorry I'm so slack! life has been horrible lately. Arabellas non exsistant father rung CYFS on me (bunch of lies), filed for full cutody and has been making my life hell. Needless to say that combined with PND, money woes and work has kept me quite down and busy! Arabella on the other hand is thriving and busy! Wont stay still for 2 seconds, which whilst cute is driving me insane lol. We have invented a screaming game so that when mummy feels stressed she screams and Arabella screams back. . She loves it! Anyway enough about us! How are all these gogeous toddlers doing? And their mummys? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Welcome back!! Sorry to hear that things aren't that great with the, dare I say it, jackass!
A is like Arabella, into everything and I have to say I'm loving it all! No walking yet, still doing her commando crawl, getting quite fast with it now! As for us we are slowly getting back on our feet, DF went in for an eye op at the start of the week, we found out on Monday morning that he has a detached retina, so was in Monday night for the op! Having him home is a pain, upset all my routines!!! still hopefully the op is a success, find out next week was is happening!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Hey Girls!
Karyn that sucks about your ex! GRR! Nothing much to report here, just plodding along, I think Cooper is on the mend. Just wish his appetite would come back. Funnily enough after he had the Redipred he stopped eating!
Beautiful day here, can't wait to go out later.... ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Hi guys!
Hope Arabellas dad backs off soon and it all works out BOB how are you all? Thomas cough is just one of those viral things the doc said 6-8 weeks is how long they are lasting. I turned his car seat around today, was so proud of myself for figuring out how to do it! and he thinks he is pretty cool when he is in the car now too! i weighed him at the docs and he was just short of 11kgs so i figured it was best i turned it around soon, our seat says safe till12 kilos but he has been whinging a bit when i lie him down in it lately ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi everyone! how are you all and your bubbas?
We are all good here, nothing hugely new to report really. We went up to Mangawhai for the weekend which was really nice and T had a ball in the sand. He is talking a bit more now, alot of it sounds like words but isnt hehe, but he says mumma dadda nana ta bubba that kind of thing. He is still content to just walk around the furniture or with a trolley, when it comes to standing on his own he has jelly legs! i guess he will do it all in his own time, am not too worried was quite funny the other day i came back inside and T was sitting on the floor with the fridge door open chewing on a chicken wing! talk about help yourself! looking forward to catching up :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

at the chicken wing. A boy that knows what he likes!
Like T, A is doing all the noises/talk and is more than content just standing, she has now starting moving round the furniture. A has started pre-school 4 days a week and I'm back at work, as a swim teacher! Still learning the ropes but hopefully won't take too long!
As for the rest, DF has the cold, A has hand foot and mouth, so will be a quiet weekend! |

Hi Ladies, it has been a long long long time since i was last on this thread (been chatting on others) and posted anything. Also I use to be under another name (which i can't remember what it was..)
I'm still feeding Hayley (my DD) formula cause i feel that it is giving her more nutrients, vitimins and all the stuff she might be missing out on...also cows milk was too much for her but i give her a little bit every so often so it not too heavy for her tummy. My little one has just come down with a cold (and i was feeling good cause i thought we had dodged the change of season colds....but no they found me. Babykiwi 2 of my friends kids had foot and mouth....it is not nice for the bubs, and it is easily and quickly spread even when you think you are careful. Hope she is better now. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi everyone! how are you all? I thought it was time to resurrect this poor thread!
We had Thomas's plunket check today, he is 11kg and 78cm tall. He is walking everywhere now, I think he has forgotten all about crawling! I havent got his 15 month imms yet, was just wondering if you guys have and how they went? I am a little bit dubious about this one, its certainly controversial, i guess i need to read into it a bit more before making a proper decision Looking forward to catching up with you all |

Hey Simone,
I had Coopers 15mth check last week, he's 12.25kg's and 83cms. I haven't had his imms done yet, I'm still trying to decide about these ones too. I might stagger them. Cooper isnt' walking, still cruising heaps, meh.. he'll do it when he's ready. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Heya guys! Yeah we have been slack haven't we!
Had the 15 mon check today, 11.7kg and 80cm. We did go to get the imms done but because of a raised temp and an ear infection, they said no, so will do it after the holidays. The nurse said to me that she would be very grumpy for a couple of days and possibly be off her food when she gets them. Ava isn't walking yet either, lots of cruising and just standing as well! So not long now I would expect! What is everyone up too over the holiday period!? |
