Sleep and weaning Aaron off meeeeeeeee

Hi

Well... we continue to have some SLEEP success and I am THRILLED.

So on Tuesday he slept in the pushchair at Sandra's (didn't have a camera)...

On Wednesday he slept in the pushchair with Sandra in the park while I had a "meeting" with "work".... ("Gggggrrrr")...

On Friday again he slept in the pushchair, again at Sandra's, below, while we watched Brigadoon :-)

And today for the first time in weeks, he had his mid-morning nap IN THE COT (below) ........... I was so happy I could not contain myself.  I knew it was his 40 minute nap and thought WHAT shall I do.

I can now sleep on my tummy :-)

Cup of tea?
No

Shower?
No

Computer?
Definitely NOT.

Tidy the kitchen?
Boy did it need doing.  I have been back from Ireland for 2 weeks and it was how hubby had it while I was away (yuk)... and due to my FLU, it was way overdue a complete reorganisation.... so much more than just a simple clean.

Weird choice but yes and this was the result:

Yes we are ORGANIX fans :-)

40 minutes is not a long time girls, so only 1 side out of 3 sides of the kitchen was done, but hey Rome was NOT built in a day :-)

Oh and he woke in a good mood soooooo I put him in his high-chair with toys while I opened 4 weeks worth of post and separated it into an ACTION pile and a FILE pile....

And where is he now?.... JUMPING happily in his Fisherprice Jumperooooooooo

The night-time is slowly slowly catchy monkey.  Last night he slept in his cot from 12-3 a.m. only and we co-slept the rest of the time.

The night before, (Thursday night) he slept in his cot from 1:20 a.m. till 7 a.m. and I woke feeling human.

The significance of all of this is that I have been breastfeeding Aaron TO sleep for weeks and co-sleeping for weeks.  It started because he was sick... then sick again... and then teething... and now I am trying to get back to where we once were.

Bye for now, Liska

Ate a Jar and I liked it ....... !!!!!

Hi,

Our brand choice for baby jars

Saying that (subject heading) feels like the equivalent of the song "I kissed a girl and I liked it"...

But seriously, Aaron is teething AND his appetite is therefore NOT what it once was...

He was hungry at 6 p.m. today so I tried to feed him the Organix Jar:

Organic Vegetable & Chicken Sunday Lunch.

He only had a few spoonfuls and started turning his head away.

I was just about to reach for the bottle... whisky? * No, of course not, those days are gone... Cow & Gate (I combination feed but he has breastfed loads today)...

Anyway just as I approached the steriliser I had a thought and I grabbed a pot of organic pear and apple... HE ATE THE LOT...

Then he just had half of his "bottle".

But it just proves they have a discerning palette these babies of ours...

So Organix hear here, Aaron does NOT like Organic Vegetable & Chicken Sunday Lunch **.

And I don't think it's just the teething... I genuinely think he doesn't like the thick potatoey texture as he loves the others.

We are huge Organix fans in this house.


No, I am NOT crawling... I know you have sponsored someone already... Just that we really are, and he loves the rice cakes tooooooooo.


I haven't got back to the reason for this post......... NOT wanting to waste a jar.... I ate it....

Is that terrible???? I know some people will be like yuk, but in my mind I wouldn't get Aaron to eat anything I am not prepared to eat myself... so there! After all it is not dog food, it is food for our nearest dearest and precious one... BUT LIKE AARON, I have tasted better *** ... sorry Organix.

* I have never been a whisky drinker (just sounded right)...  :-)
** I think he ate one in Ireland so maybe it's just a teething thang!
*** I know this goes against the subject heading but they are not a contradiction.  You can like something AND have tasted better.  Some of their other jars are truly scrumptious!
