Eating

Emily is now trying some solid food and eating from a spoon again. Just little bits at a time, we don't want to push her too much. Still drinking most of her meals from cups but she is willing to occassionally try mush and solids. This may not seem like much but it is a big step for us. Her weight is still gaining...trying to break the 18kg barrier next....and she has filled out nicely. We are hoping that she doesn't take another downturn..... She has so much more energy and and is so much more her old self when she is eating well.
gotta keep fattening her up for christmas....and beyond...

Tantrums

Emily has decided we need some more tanturms in our lives. They come from nowhere (although suspicion is falling on food - lack of, type of, consistancy of...whatever.... and the possibilty she may have picked up a bug somewhere....both culprits in the past) and thankfully don't last too long. However they sure are packed full of energy, snot, self harm, biting, hiting, more snot, screams (loud!),tears and more snot.
So much snot!

Time

Really must not be so lazy and post more on here....lots happening with Emily, at work and the impending arrival of number one son..who is being an awkward little toerag already and not lying properly ready for delivery....so maybe S will be taken into hosp next week for a section.
What Emily will make of the new arrival is any ones guess. Hope she doesn't treat him like the rest of her toys..that is pick up and slobber over before throwing half way across the room. I'm sure she will be fine. I hope she will be fine! We will have to watch out for her arms which occasionally she can't keep control of and come flying out making contact with, usually, someones face (although I do believe sometimes the accuracy of her strikes may have some deliberate intention behind them....not vicious or malicious, just born of frustration).
Well time will tell and I will endeavour to squeeze some posts in here whenever i manage to get a few minutes..so sometime next year no doubt!!
