Cooking marathon and general update !!!!

Well Chloe is certianly getting through her food once again ... each batch tends to last about 2/3 weeks, so not to bad !!! So once again we are near the end of her food supply so am set to get cooking for her again !!!
She will eat anything and everything spooned into her ... she seems more of a veggie baby although she will eat meaty meals but she doesn't gobble them up as she would a veg meal ... her favourites are carrot and butternut squash, she quite likes cheesy broccoli and also courgette !!
She has 3 6 oz bottles and her bedtime bottle is 9oz although thinking of doing 2 9oz bottles and 2 5oz to get her to eat more food at dinner and tea time. She has 6 cubes although they are the cubes from the flexiable trays and so are smaller then the normal .. 2 cubes from the bendy tray = 1 cube of the normal ones so from the normal tray she is having 3 cubes ... gets a bit technical !!!
Shes started waking up from half 6 now .. although really she is waking at half 7 as the clocks went back ... think its gonna take a lil while fo her to fall into her normal sleep pattern !!!

Shes finnally managed to roll !!! But she will only do it in her cot ??? Also she has learnt the trick of swapping ends in her cot .. I always have her feet bumper end so she don't get her legs stuck ... come morning her head is that end ...

Her sitting up is going well .. she still has days where she just topples and days where she will sit well .. so at the moment its a bit hit and miss !!!

Daytime sleeping is kinds a battle at the moment .. not sure if its due to the clock change ... she now screams after 5 minutes of being in her bed ... not sure if shes just not tired or is out of sorts with the clocks or what really ... so the aim is now to leave her til after lunch and put her to bed between half 12 and 1 and see if she hopefully has a big nap to tide her over til bedtime!!!

She still has only got 2 teeth .. although she has her top ones moving down .. looks like 4 of them .. hoping they don't all come through at once!!!

Ryan is now on half term .. so thinking of things to do to keep him occupied ... theres a pumpkin olympics not to far from here so might take him to that on saturday, tomorrow evening he is going to Jons mum's to stay overnight and then on friday she is taking him off out on the bus. Sunday not sure what to do !!! Monday its back to the school routine !!

Saturday just gone Jon's sister Teresa came down with Emily ... we took them to manic monsters for them to let of steam .. both had a fab time bless them and even Chloe loved sitting in the balls again !!!

Have some more recent pictures so will upload those soon !!!

We had I think been to Jon's Dad and got home a bit late .. so skipped bathtime and just got her ready for bed .. sat her in her chair and when came back she was like this !! She was a very tired baby girl!!!


She has now learnt to feed herself !!!! She was getting too fidgety me doing it and wanting to sit up and be nosey so now she sits in her chair and drinks it all by herself !!



All wrapped up for our cold evening walk !!

Ryan took this picture!!!!! Quite impressed!!!

Thats it for pictures .. have some more but have not yet taken them off the camera!!!! So thats a must do task soon !!!!

Not been up to too much .. have been working on Chloe feeding herself her milk !! She has been doing this for about 4/5 days now and is doing well .. the only bottle I hold is her bedtime one as shes asleep on it!!! Foodwise as well she is doing brilliantly !! She loves anything but her favourites are butternut Squash and Carrot ... either together or seperate or mixed with other veg or meat !!!

As its the autumn now I ought to be doing some more didgiscrap pages .. will keep me occupied amongst other things these wet and cold days !!! So think I might do some scrapping tomorrow !!!!

Another update !!!

Well as stated in previous post we have now decided to crack on with solids .. she has been having them for about 3 weeks now !!! About 4 days after starting she started having real bad nappies up to 6 times a day ... wasn't sure if it was her reacting to food or teething or a mixture of the 2 ... as it turns out it must have been the teething as this week 2 tetth have popped through !!! And her nappies turned back to normal ... the bad nappies went on for just over 2 weeks !!!
She is loving her food ... because of the nappies and not sure the reasoning behind it we went back to basics foodwise !!
I cooked up single fruits and veg ... she loves carrot on its own !!!
Then the last 2/3 days have been mixing fruit and veg ... she loves butternut squash and pear and also carrot and apple !!!

Thursday just gone we went and had her weighed at baby clinic ... she was 18lb 4oz!!!!!

Also she has her 2 bottom teeth .. these both popped up in a matter of days !! A week at the most ... deffo the reason for awful nappies !!!

Her sitting is coming on well ... she will sit unaided for short periods of time til she is distracted then she will topple bless her !!!

Still not rolling over ... shes a bit lazy on that one !! She is attempting to but thats as far as it goes!!!

Anyway I think thats it for now !!!!

Oh Ryan went to school Friday just gone dressed as a croccodile !!! He loved it bless him ... it was all in aid of book week and had to go to school that day dressed as there favourite animal from a book .. his wasn't in any book but he was happy to go and say it was in a book lol .. not sure what he said but never mind !!!

Will add some pics in the next few days !!!

HUGE Update !!!!!!

Well its better late than never but here FINNALLY are the pictures of Chloes bed !!!!

Very cute and girly bedding !!!! Its lovely !!!

And below is Chloe trying it out !!!!

We went to baby clinic on 10/09/09 and she was 17lb and 7 oz .. so shes doing brilliantly bless her !!!

Below is just a random photo I took of her that I love !!!! Its so cute of her !!!

She decided that my choclate bar in the wrapper was a fab thing to hold and attempt to chomp on !!!

We had to start her on solids .. the plan was wait til she was 6 months but she had other ideas ... she decided she would have 2 days of going 3 hours between bottles instead of 4 ... which for her is very odd as she has always done 4 hours NO problems from birth .. so we decided to crack on with the food ... she had apple for 2 days then she had carrot, potato and cauliflower and today she had roast beef !!! she is doin so well ... hardly any sitting out and no screwy faces apart from the first or second spoonful. she is easily clearing 2 icecubes so tomorrow for lunch she has 3 cubes of cheesy pork and mash !!!!

Grandad has come to stay for the week !!!! So heres a picture of Ryan and Grandad (my dad)

And a picture of Chloe and grandad !!!

Because ryan has been inschool all week we decided to make the most of the weekend with Grandad .... so Saturday afternoon we took Ryan to the local soft play area (Manic Monsters)
He loved it bless him ... running up and down ladders and ramps and god knows what else !! The big slide was a hit too !!!!!

Even Chloe got to play in the under 4's section !!!

then after that we went to win green for a quick walk,in the car to come home for a quick tea and then out the door again for Mere Carnival !!!!

Sunday we took Ryan to bournmouth airport for Ryan to watch the planes land and take off !!! He was quite excited about that bless him !!!!

On way back we called into Jons mum and his sister was there with her 2 kids so had a quick coffee.... Chloe was on a mission with baby Jasmin !!!!
