A little tip…

So the other day i came across a great website whilst looking for tips on making and storing baby food, this site is wonderful, not only does it show you how to make and store your own baby food but it also gives a chart on which solid foods should be introduced to baby at their different age’s and eating abilities, its also gives the nutritional info that all the foods have and goes through all the veg, fruit , protein etc for baby as well as going into food allergies and what causes them.

Just go to:

www.wholesomebabyfood.com

It’s great i have it bookmarked and refer to it all the time!

Me and my pool

So we went out and bought the me a new pool to enjoy my summer in, because the week before the i had to swim in my baby bath…

Anyway Mommy set it up for me and i really seemed to enjoy it, nana and granddad came over to see me and how i used my new sitting skills whilst i played, i almost gave them a heart attack when i dove head first towards the water, then bounced back up like i had been doing the whole "swimming underwater ” thing for ages. A little while later granny and grandpa and noona and goompa arrived and saw me in my pool too, and they were very impressed at how nicely i was playing.

On Monday, i also spent some time in my pool as the weather was lovely it was sunny and warm and Aimee and mommy were outside with me, Aimee was running around chasing the butterflies and mommy was watching me and taking some photos, most of the time i was just way to busy playing and splashing to bother smiling for the camera, i mean really i have more interesting things to explore than to look at the camera! However i was kind enough to smile for at least one( which seemed to get her off my back and allowed me to continue playing!)

Well i instructed mom to put up two photos one of me playing in MY pool, and the other is of my BEAUTIFUL toothy grin( if you look carefully you will see the tiny two front teeth, But look carefully because if you miss those teeth I'll be SAD ‘cause it took me forever to grow those things!)

Me in my cool pool!!

 

There mom are you happy?

My take on my new teeth

It's saturday the 26th of September and i have been teething for a total of about four months now, with very Very little to show for it...

But now after all this time i will pull the rabbit out of the bag( or at least the teeth out of the gums)and i shall make my BIG reveal at dinner time, wait for it wait for it, ok NOW! BITE!Ohh hang on this is quiet funny, i bite and mommy squeals hmmmm interesting, let me do it again, come on, that face you just pulled, mommy was just priceless, i HAVE to see it again!
Ok new plan... because i just know she wont willingly put her fingers there in my mouth, now think Aidan think, hmmm i know i'll scream like i want something to eat and when she hands me a little bit of bread or a piece of broccoli, i'll pounce on her hand and gnaw,gnaw,gnaw, like my life depended on it, i'll take her fingers and grip them with such strength that she'll squeal(again) for me to let her go!

I'M A BOY!

Now I have discovered a few things about myself that I'm sure I never knew before, things like how I now find it the funniest thing in the world when someone farts, I mean I finds it so funny that even when half asleep when someone farts I will burst out laughing(now if that doesn't scream "I'M A BOY!" i don't know what does...) but not only does that make the giggles come spilling out of me, it's also the fact that I have now found the Lost ark... " Mom, Dad, i have news for you... i have a... i have a WINKY! YAY ME!!!" i just want to play and play and play, even when mommy tries her hardest to keep my hands away- particularly when my nappy is being changed, because that's when my fingers end up with more nappy cream than my bum and bits do... the other day when it was sooo hot, mommy and aunty pip (i mean Robyn)got my old baby bath- i say old because now I'm a big boy and my legs are to long to fit so i use the big boy bath- and put some water in it for me to swim in- Yes i said swim, you see my mommy and daddy don't love me enough to buy my a pool, those cheap skates- Anyway so now I'm sitting outside in the nice sunny weather in my "pool" but I'm to busy discovering all that i can about my new appendage that i don't care about splashing and enjoying the cool water over my Buddha belly! but then the thought goes through my head, "if i stare at it too much will it fall off? Hmmmm these are the things that haunt me! anyway i think I'll have to just check up on it at the next nappy change..." Hey hey hey mom guess what... it's still there, woohoo woohoo woohoo, I'm gonna play with it, and I'm gonna stare at it, and I'm gonna name it, i think I'll call you 'Stealth Ninja Man' why you ask? well it's because he disappears when mommy puts my nappy on but is there when she takes it off again, so there you have it... 'Stealth Ninja Man'

So pain here we come...

Captains Log: 26/09/09 7.30pm

So we have discovered uncharted territory in the crevice that is my mouth, there are two white sharp formations on the mounds of pink fleshy stuff, i think they call them teeth??? (don't ask me, i have no idea) but they really really hurt! the tip of my finger was nearly lost into the oblivion, OK OK i know it's only a finger tip but in its defense it is one of the top ten in my favourite finger tips category...

Anyway i know that most people would say that at least it's not mommy's nipple, but HA HA i laugh in your face... I haven't bitten it- YET!!!(mommy says- "TOUCH WOOD...then reminds herself not to go and jinx it now you dumb ass!!")

Well now that the little meilie munchers have arrived i guess it means that moms furniture is not as safe as it used to be... oops sorry forgot I'm not the dog!!

I am just getting so big now, i don't think I'll get to the piggy back stage with mommy quick enough, i'm so heavy as it is( or at least that's what she always say...), mommy doesn't want to break her back now, maybe she'll be the one getting the ride soon... after all at seven months i am almost already past half mommy's height!
"Gee mom what a shorty!"- oh and not the rapper kind either, just the plain old short kind!

Aidan changes his tactics

Now i really don’t know what is going with this funny little boy of mine…

i seriously think he is trying to decide which stage he would like to go through first he has the whole squeak like a Guinea pig thing going but at the same time he has the whole caveman thing going for him too, i don’t think he is too sure whether he wants to squeak or grunt… come on boy make a decision!

Anyway if it’s confusing me what is it doing to my poor bug? But anyway he is still getting all the things that he wants and needs, at least he still getting dinner on time( we all know what stage he will pick if he doesn’t…)and he wont be happy with that, his new favourite thing to chew on? well a piece of cucumber of course, his sharp little gums peel through the thicker outer skin and then he sits gobbling up the softer inner flesh and the pips are all across the face, eyelashes and all.

so with all the teething that is happening in our house we gotta tell you Aidan is not the only one who’s hurting… i mean yes Andrew and i hurt because we feeling bad and just as frustrated as Aidan is, but the point is mommy is hurting more, lets just put it plainly, Aidan is like a pit bull that has a piece of meat hanging from his jaws, he bites down and shakes his head side to side for all that his little life is worth…. and we all know just how much he is worth, I'm just surprised how a nipple has such a strong will to survive… It just refuses to let go, sometimes i just wish it would cause something's gotta give and i know for certain Aidan is stubborn just like the rest of mommy’s family.

Anyway now that he has got to the caveman stage and has decided that if something comes in to reach and it doesn't get thrown on the floor or taste tested first he then needs to see if its  going to make a noise so he needs to pull on it, this is why i don't go to the hairdresser anymore (i have one at home, but he doesn’t do a very good job he neglects the left side of my head) and also the reason I had to get rid of the pet guinea pig, he kept pulling its hair which made me quiet sad, it hurts you know… this is how it makes me feel about it!

 

Say yes to the drugs

See now I’m an advocate for drugs, now I’m not talking the heroin and cocaine variety, (as Whitney said, CRACK IS WHACK!) No, no, no I m talking the Voltaren suppository kind...if someone offers it to you, my advice? TAKE IT! You’ll regret it later, I know I did! I thought I was brave, I thought I was strong, man was I wrong... when my spinal wore off damn I thought I was sliced in half(OK OK so I had been, but no-one told me the drugs would wear off so quickly) alright so I suppose sitting bolt upright ½ an hour after a c- section's not the smartest thing to do, but in my defence I wanted to cuddle my new dolly, I mean baby....(oops), anyway the phrase sweating bullets well meant nothing to me, it was more a case of sweating bricks...the 5 min it took the nurses to get my drugs for me seemed like 5 hours, bet Aidan never thought his mom would be playing Hot Potato so soon after he arrived but dad was almost caught right off guard as I passed Aidan off to him. Lucky Andrew has huuuuuge hands! Anyway the meds eventually get to me after I think I’ve died and that there is no way anyone can bring me back from the light, alright alright so I’m exaggerating just a bit but damn it was raw...
Now after the catheter is taken out they break the news to you that you now have to put the suppositories up your butt yourself... I can tell you now that sticking a torpedo shaped blob of medicated Vaseline up my naught is creeping me out round about now, so I do what every self respecting person would do... pretend I don’t know how! So I flash my sweet smile and cute dimples and inform Constance of my unfortunate predicament, lucky for me she smiles and says she would guide me through it, so off we go to the bathroom for my suppository insertion 101 lesson, now half way through telling me the ins and outs of the matter, Constance decides to just do it for me anyway- “YES I got out of doing it”
Little did I know that was to be the last time she would be doing this for me... Mind you I did have to learn sooner or later, it wasn’t as if I could just take Constance home with me(wish I could have though, she was lots of fun always had something funny to say and always smiling.)
But six months on and I still remember the pain as clear as daylight-take the damn drugs you wally!
