oops… where’d lolly go?
Description
Yes, we’re all still very much alive and ticking! So much so, that i honestly dont have time to type/write a post. So im going to try and cram is all in now, while J is asleep…
So, Jessie is now almost 13 months old!!! Her birthday party was bigger than expected, but stax of fun! We had around 40 people, including 11 kids. Jessie handled it very well, and in fact, its the best we’ve ever seen her in a large group of people. Normally she freaks out a bit, but i think that having it Granny’s house, meant that she felt safe. I had the cake made, and it was beautiful! Curious George, was a bit of a stretch for me. But i will endeavour to make her 2nd birthday cake. 
The adults all got together and we blew thousands of bubbles for the kids! they loved it… until the floor got slippery and we had an accident or 2. :-S 
But it was great fun… Jessie thinks bubbles are the greatest!
Also, Jessie is now an official toddler!!! She hardly ever crawls and wants to walk all over. Its soooo cute. yesterday in Pick n Pay, she “pushed” the shopping trolley! i can see grocery shopping taking me triple time now! but who cares… its sooo sweet… and it expends lots of energy for J.
Jessie has cut her second tooth! i can finally say that my child has teeth!! after almost 13months, she has teeth! hehehehehe. she seems to be handling the teething very well. not too much fuss at night, and shes not too grumpy. yay!
J is a little Lolly! when i fold my arms, she tries to do the same. when i brush my teeth, she must brush hers! same goes for most things! its soooo cute! oh and she loves to eat Milo from the tin!! (i give her tiny little bits) but man she is just gorgeous! her mothers child through and through… in everything but the looks department, but even thats getting there!
As far as breastfeeding goes, im still at it. She is now feeding 2-3 times a day, and im trying to get her onto 1 night feed. im going to try and wean her off her night feeds altogether before R comes. feeding 2 at night, i think, may be a tad hectic. im not ready to wean her. its such a stunning bonding experience and oh so convenient. i dont think id be able to hack the bottle thing! im not organized enough!
R is doing great! so far not as big as J, but my doc reckons that im predisposed to bigger babies, and that R is still going to grow lots! But R is growing nicely, and is about 5 days ahead weight wise. R is very very lazy! i stress some days as i feel almost nothing! but then again, i am also running around after a very active toddler, so i sometimes forget when i have felt movement. (J is busy carrying my handbag around the house!) 12.6 weeks to go until R is here!!! yikes, its just around the corner!
so, heres hoping for some more frequent updates!! dont know whats going tohappen when there are 2, but we shall see!
