10 month roll call
Well...
Have cut out a night feed (see separate post) Moo is eating LOADS of solids and having about 6 boobings a day. He will eat a whole banana for breakfast now. He has his first shoes and is learning how to stand up without holding onto things. He is an expert crawler. He has 6 teeth and I have corresponding tooth indents on my boobs. Biting is no fun and I brace myself every time I nurse. I think he is getting the idea of the word 'gently', though maybe he thinks it means 'milk'. He understands some more signs (Milk, duck, cat, chicken, bath, drink, eat) but has stopped signing 'more'. He does not know what 'no' means although it is said repeatedly around the cat, plugs, cables and most everything he puts in his mouth, poor boy. It is exhausting having a mobile child.

The Bug nurses less during the day now but still nurses all night
long. We're very much in the Zen of breastfeeding and cosleeping, but as with so much that has to change. We're probably going to start working on night-weaning next week. She's not one to give up too easily on what she wants, so wish us luck. My current goal for solids is to get her able to eat more of what we eat. She likes finger feeding though she also accepts the spoon. She tried wheat for the first time today (all natural mac and cheese, and it was a hit) and we'll start meat next. Once we get that going we'll start to ditch the baby cereal and can really move away from the goop to self-feeding. She crawls all over, loves to stand, and has just started a little bit of cruising on the couch. She's very conversational with her babbling though she still has a limited range of consonants. We do a ****-poor job of signing with her, so nothing there. Unless you count "high-five"! I've started looking for daycare for when I go back in June, which is not fun. One thing that's reassuring is she *loves* the visits we've been on. She likes being around the other kids, immediately gets down and crawls around, plays with the toys, and enjoys the stimulation. So hopefully the transition won't be too unbearably horrible for either of us. Kate and the Bug, also 8 June 2003 |

Nathanael has just slept throught 2 nights in a row!!!!!!!!!!!! He has alo
finally produced 2 teeth, he's bit me a couple of times, but generally it's at the end of a feeding and he's forgotten he's still eating. After a blip last week with his solids he's doing pretty well, though never a whole banana! We finally have movement, he crawls without getting his tummy off the floor, looks more like swimming! He's also become an expert at walkin across the room pushing a trolley (one of those wooden ones with bricks in it). He's going through a very clingy phase, which is tiring as he won't be put down, but he doesn't want to sit still either, he basically uses me as a climbing frame.

Pillbug still only has 2 teeth. BF is going
well. He doesn't bite; when he did, I pressed his chin and he stopped. He just recently learned about separation anxiety; he fusses in the mornings when DH and I leave for work and he's eager for his "snack" when I return. Very validating! He eats two solid meals a day of about 4-5 oz. quantity each time. He gets a meat+veggie +cereal in the morning and a fruit+cereal in the afternoon. He only drinks 8 oz. of BM during the day, so we still nurse a lot at night. He's rolling around, but not crawling, not creeping, definitely not standing. I don't mind a not-so-mobile child right now... Pillbug is more able to play by himself now. When I'm doing gardening, he can amuse himself in the stroller while watching cars and people go by. He does not like the playard. We are making plans for the big 1-year birthday party. I got the invitations already and my parents reserved the restaurant. They're doing the Chinese banquet thing. -- Anita -- -- SUCCESS FOUR FLIGHTS THURSDAY MORNING ALL AGAINST TWENTY ONE MILE WIND STARTED FROM LEVEL WITH ENGINE POWER ALONE AVERAGE SPEED THROUGH AIR THIRTY ONE MILES LONGEST 57 SECONDS INFORM PRESS HOME CHRISTMAS. |
