Hope you all have a really special day! Ours was lovely!

Kirsten was 1 on Tuesday, we had lots of people round, some party food and balloons and banners, she absolutely loved all her presents and all the attention..she could do it every day..I couldn't though, was exhausted by end of day!!

Still not crawling but getting up on hands and knees and rocking about like there's no tomorrow. She still prefers to roll everywhere and is pretty good at it! Trying to get her to stand but she is just not interested!!

Happy first birthday Nixon! I posted a Happy Birthday in the WooHoo Room. Have a great day! Congrats on winning the radio stations birthday call birthday cake!
Love you! Aunty Rhianon, Uncle Andrew and baby Jensen

Happy first Birthday Nixon! Hope you and Mummy have a great day. The first year goes quickly Lea, doesn't it!

Happy first Birthday for Tuesday Kirsten and Marion. I hope you both had a great day - I'm sorry I missed it. They say the first year is the hardest - but now that I have a 2 1/2 year old I'm not so sure LOL!

Tom has just got over a bout of diarrhoea, poor thing, and he has a nasty rash on his bottom from it :( . He is saying more words and taking more steps every day.

Take care all.

hi

My little girl Eloisa was 1 on the 5th October 2006. Just thought I would say hello to the mums who have a child the same age. SHe is the youngest one of 5, and the others all spoil her rotten.
Think she is alreading learning to milk it!!!

Hi Tracy!

4 under 5...quite a handful!!

Hope she had a lovely birthday!

nixons birthday was a bitter sweet day for me ...

i was so proud of my son that he was 1 and geting to be a big boy ... but the week of his birthday i had a bad relaspse in to depression and got diagnoesed with OCD .... so while i was so so happy for him , i myself was dying inside with the thought that i will look back on his birthday and remember one of the bleakest weeks of my life ...

his party was a huge hit and got laoded with gifts... it was a memorable day .... he claps his hands on his own now ...and isnt doning much else .. only down to 1 day sleep but its about 2.5 hrs long so im not fussed ....

he is one super cute kid ... im off to update my ticker !!

Aww I'm sorry you were feeling awful that week Lea.

I found Kirsten's birthday week pretty stressful and overwhelming, was absolutely exhausted. Hopefully you will pick up again soon.

Clapping his hands on his own is great..Kirsten CAN do it but doesn't.

A 2.5 hour nap also sounds pretty good, we get 2 30 min naps a day if we are lucky!

He looks great in his picture!

Marion

yea.. hes a big boy ... getting too heavy for me to carry him everywhere ...

Hi girls, how are we all? Havent been in here for ages, not many of us around anymore is there? bit sad really...

how did all the 1st birthdays go? We just had a quiet one here. Made Charlie a blue whale cake. Big mistake because for a day after his poop was bright green from the blue food dye lol scared me at first. He took his first steps yesterday and is doing better today with it aswell. We find he will do it better he if follows food lmao!

anyway not much else really. Just thought id pop in and see if anyone was aorund..

Hello!

Love the new name!

We had a lovely 1st birthday here...lots of family and friends round for cake and food...

Well done with the walking Charlie..!

Kirsten is just starting to crawl, but isn't doing too well with it yet, she fell forward and hit her head on the ground today :(

Marion

Aww poor Kirsten. I'm sure she will get it in no time.

Phew - 1 year injections today and she was sooo good, she started to cry but then straightaway was distracted by my sparkly necklace which I let her play with!!

How did everyone else get on with their jabs this time?

Marion

Charlie had his immunisation about 3 weeks ago. Cried for about 2 seconds and then was fine. He got a bit of a temp and was cranky about a week after which they said was normal.

Tom was exactly the same Antheia. Happy Birthday Kirsten! How funny - Jack didn't have a fever at all! Sorry to be so brief, I am at work!!

Poor nix had to have a blood test and 12mth injets, all in one day .. with in 5 mins of each other .. :(

he didnt get much of a reaction , just a bit sleepy ..

we went camping for the first time with nix ... he loved it and slept really well ... yaay , even had a nap in the car while we went semi extreme 4wd !!!

Aww why did Nixon have to have a blood test?

suspected low iron , he was sleeping about 14 hrs a night and 4 hours a day , and really cranky , we just got our 7th tooth so it may have been because of that , i rung the docs to see if i can get results over the phone , she wouldnt give it to me , and made me an appt with the doc ...

sigh ... i have driving in rainy weather .. i really feel like cancelling the appt.. but i dont kwim ??

Yeah i hate the rain, people always drive to stpudily when it rains. Charlie sleeps that much too but i didn't think there was any problem with that.

i cancelled the appt ... and taking him tomorrow .... hopefully not raining

Hey everyone, how are you all?

Lea - how were Nixon's results?

Kirsten and I have both been sick..she caught a nasty cold and gave it to me, with an added cough!

She then decided to start REALLY crawling on a day I felt terrible..was suddenly into EVERYTHING all day..no wires are safe here!!

We are so pleased she is crawling at last though - and very well too!

She is also really unwilling to nap, is teething I think, will only eat crunchy breadsticks, and is all stuffed up and also excited about crawling, so we get 20 mins a day if we are lucky..she is exhausted and so is mummy!!!!

Woo hoo for Kirsten!! Well done! I hope you feel better soon Marion.

Lea, Tom sleeps about the same amount too. Did you get the results?

Tom has just got 4 teeth and has been grizzly for about 2 weeks. Poor little thing. Now they are through hopefully he'll perk up. Although probably there'll be more teeth soon.

Hi all, hope everyone is going well. I don't get in here much atm.

Hi to everyone! Just popping in to wish you & your littlies a very happy Christmas!! Hope you all (especially the kiddies) have a ball!

Hey Kate. Great to hear from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family too. How are the girls going? I love your new av - hopefully you'll need a new one soon with a bigger belly!

Merry Christmas to everyone else too. This thread is very slow these days!!

well nixon is going great !! has just started walking so cute to see him wobble about ..

about the blood test he had , his iron was normal , so his major 4.5 hr sleeps were just a one off ... (on a good day i can get 3 hrs out of him ...)

merry christams to all y'all !! what are your kiddes getting ??

nix is getting a small sandpit and a glow worm :)

Hey everyone!

We are doing well here, Kirsten is crawling around at top speed, and now enjoys standing up a bit, its really fun bouncing a 14 month old on your lap I can tell you!

Still not pulling up but she CAN do it so we are not worried. Physio still says all her movements are normal and she is just taking her time.

She is trying to say a lot of words now and now says lots of different animal noises when she sees pictures of animals!

4 hour naps sound amazing, Kirsten has 25 minute ones!!

She had her MMR jab a week ago and so far is OK! We have got her lots of little things for Xmas, the main thing is a little mountain with a helter skelter road which she can push cars down - she LOVES things with wheels. We also got her books/puzzles/clothes etc (warm as its about 0C here!)

Hope you are all doing well too, have a great Xmas!

hello all .. would like to join in here....

my son was born on saturday, 7th Oct 2006. He's turning 16 mths in a couple weeks.

Btw, he can say "O K" a lot which is his 1st word too .....i think... :)

wow ..i never thought i woud see this thread in action again .. lol

welcome elcee

well atm nixon is very testing ... tanturms and lack of sleep all over the place ... he is running so fast everywhere and is sooo much mischief ..

but so far has no words .... none ... nada

just a whole lot of jibberish !

Hi and welcome Elcee!

I wish this thread WOULD start again!

Kirsten is doing well, she has loads of words and goes around naming things all the time, is crawling lots but still no desire to stand up/walk.

They are all so different aren't they? Physio is still happy with her and says she will get there!

She has been having a rotten time with her first molar teeth coming in, and has croup at the moment but is still cheerful, eating, talking and playing with her toys, so we aren't too worried!!

And..congrats Lea :)

Hi guys, wondering if I could join this thread. My bubba was born 31 October 2006. She is beginning to walk independently and says "bye-bye" and waves and blows kisses. She says "hi", "dat" (for that) and points, "yum-yums" and some other stuff that might or might not be words. She also carries on 'conversations' with people and toys. So very cute at this age!

Hi and welcome!

Sadly this thread is a bit quiet these days!!

Your bub sounds like she is doing wonderfully!

Marion

:)

Well, how's everyone else doing? As I'm new, I would be interested to know about milestones compared to your other bubs (if any) and how they are all going.

What are all our lovely bubbas up to? Are they at daycare? Do they go to a play group and how do they interact?

Y'know, that sorta thing.

I'm sure we al wanna brag about how wonderful they all are!!!

Well, my DD has low muscle tone, which she sees a physio for, so is just crawling, and not yet pulling up or wanting to stand. She is a great talker though, and likes to name things, and name pictures in books..her two favourite words at the moment are "car" and "wheels" and she goes round pointing them out everywhere. She also loves hearts so has a great time pointing them out now it's Valentine's Day!

She goes to different playgroups and loves it, she is very sociable indeed!! Not in daycare , I work two half days a week and my mum and aunty share her care.

Marion

wow marion shes doing really well , nix couldnt give a hoot about hearts :lol:

he is like a cat in a cage when we are indoors and if i take him out side he gets into everything that he shouldnt ...

and climbing , he climbs everything , i had to take the computer chair away because i found hm standing on the desk ...

he still is too wriggly to let me read books to him , so i dont even though i feel guilty about it ... he is good at stacking things and putting things in tiny holes and pretty good with his hands ... he has just grasped spoon feeding himslef , but some days i do it , its faster and food actually goes into his mouth ...

but he cant say anything yet ... dadada and mumumum comes out sometimes but never to me or dh ... ah well his time will come then he will never shut up :lol:

Lea - Nixon is doing so well physically, I think they just concentrate on walking OR talking!

Kirsten can't stack things or put them in holes yet.

How are you feeling with the pregnancy? Have you had morning sickness?

Marion

i have so much ms ..and it hasnt stopped , also have no energy thats the hardest part with an energetic toddler .... they are quite demanding and ill i want to do is sleep ... i hope it gets easier ... !!

That sucks Lea :( But will be so worth it.

That's what has put me off having another one so far, was so unwell during last pregnancy. Also want to make sure Kirsten can walk properly with no problems first.

Hope it eases soon for you!
