isn't weaning fun!

i have started the weaning process with esme and let me tell you - i've never in my entire life seen so much mess from one little person!! its actually ridiculous. she seems to have on and off days where for one whole week she loves her food and then suddenly she gives you this look of "dont think so. you're not sticking that in my mouth" it can get frustrating but i just look at the fun memories it will create and not at the horrendous pile of laundry i have to do, besides laundry is what husbands are made for... isnt it?


just last week i thought i would try her out with some spinach and cheese concoction. well let me tell you thats the last time she's ever getting that! just as i put it in her mouth she decided it was time for a sneeze and it went everywhere. to make matters worse its bright green, looks like some weird snot or poop and wont come out of anything - even on a 90 wash. any ideas how to get it out?! i sure dont. today was fun too as so much of it seemed to end up in her hair. how it got there i have no idea.


sleeping...

were trying to get her into a routine of sleeping at night which means that raymond and myself dont sleep at night. thats fun. our health visitor rosie said that by 5 months she should be sleeping through the night but she tends to get up once or twice for a small feed then goes back down again. rosie said the best way to break this cycle is just for raymond to get up, put her dummy in, make no interaction with her and then just come back to bed. apparently its not good for me to do it because she associates me with food so poor raymond was up and down all last night. lunch time naps are still a little difficult for me and she just doesn't want to do them so its crying from about 1.00 till 2.00 then she sleeps for about 40 minutes. well, im trying my best.

p.s. i've officially given up on bibs.
