hi everyone!
this will be a quick one as Joel is fussing with dh, he wants mummy, i feel bad for dh when he gets like this cos dh is so good with him and helps out sooo much and yet quite often gets rejected in place of mummy when all mummy wants to do is hand over the reigns for half hour! i explain to dh that J is with me all the time plus im his food source plus he is teething but i guess it doesnt make it feel any nicer when ur son is wriggling to get to mummy, he isnt usually like this so it must be yet another kind of phase!
so last night we actually got some sleep!!! J woke at 3 am but he only wanted his paci, then slept on till 5 ate and then slept till 7.15! i feel like a new woman! still no sign of teeth *sigh* his gums dont look so swollen today which is good for him but i was hoping this was going to be a sure thing and teeth were on there way!!
laura im glad sleep is gettin a bit better for u too, it hits u hard doesnt it, i will have fingers crossed it keeps gettin better!!
i did try a bit of signing but then every man and his dog thought it was fun to make signs all the time and it annoyed me cos i figured Joel would get confused so i gave up

let us know how things go!!
stacy yep again today i just got Joel down for nap after he fought for nearly half hour and the door bangs, i secretly think the postman likes to see me deshevelled (sp?) in the morning, i honestly look a state and he didnt even have a parcel just a small packet that would have fitted just fine through our letter box...... and yes the smoke alarm was funny but not untill after LOL, i still cant believe he didnt even stir....
how is work goin? i think id be distracted too trying to work from home, do u have a seperate office or is ronin near by? id be constantly listening out and not letting my mum get on with it LOL
we also get launched at with a gaping mouth! he also loves to slap his wide open mouth on dhs bald head and slap the side of dh's head at the same time hahahaha poor dh a human teething ball!
annie jordan is growing up so quick!!!! and eating great!! i hope she starts feeling better soon, how are things with ashley? i bet she is loving being with jordan full time now!
dana the sloppy kisses are the best! i can say Joely give mama a kiss and he launches himself smack bang on my lips, dh says it and J just laughs ahahahaha mummys boy
how exciting about ttc!!! i hope we can still be here and follow ur journey! i cant wait to cheer u on!
alison u ttc too!!!! wooohooo i cant wait to cheer u on too!!! oooh how i miss the peesticks!!!! just this time i dont fancy following in ur footsteps two weeks later ok
as regards to finger foods, i dont know i panic every time J gags

we have tried to do the baby led weaning along side all his normal purees but it gets in his mouth and i like dont breath untill its gone down!! the only thing im happy doing really is bread and butter but its gotta be really really soft bread, he takes that easy peasy and also banana although he cant hold it cos its so slippery so we end up holding the banana and he just munches on it, its so mushy that although he might "cringe" when he swallows it down he doesnt choke as such, i try and think of food i know go kinda mushy if we suck on them and give him them, he likes rusks but im not sure if they have them in the usa they are like biscuits but also when u mix them with water or milk then mush up like a porridge so are good as a puree and a finger food,
OH also J will eat cut up potatoe, i slice them into chip like shapes and steam them until tender and he eats them although he does cough a little bit he swallows it down.
i love the video of gavin he is so big!!! where did our tiny lil ones go to! who said they could grow up!!!!!
ok so i think thats it, i cant see any more on topic review and the lil guy is uber fussy now, its heading to bed time anyhow so id better start getting his bath ready!
tomoro night dsd, charlie and i are going to a fundraiser, its a fashion show and alot of the clothes are apparently real cheap , i like cheap LOL im annoyed though cos i have been neglecting my weight and have put on like 10lbs i need to get focused before i end up putting all the weight on i tried so hard to lose! i lost 70lbs on ww before gettin pregnant and right now i need to lose 15lb already to get back to my pp weight
i keep telling myself i will do something in the summer, i need some motivations!!!!
