Our news....

In summary... N has been sick, sick sick, 2 hospital stays, off for more testing in the morning. She is comando crawling now, albeit it slowly, managed to get her to crawl a little bit on all fours two nights ago, but I expect she will be crawling in the next couple of weeks by herself

More teeth coming soon, she has four atm, one has been threatening to break for a few weeks but still sitting tight, her gums seem quite swollen further back so guess more are not far away.

Nakita weaned last week, so we made it to 15 months just...

For the more detailed version, photos and videos see our Blog

For all the news...

for all those moving hope the settling in is over very soon!

for the movers! It is always stressful! If it makes you feel any better I only just got Jett's immunisations done a couple of weeks ago, and I don't have an excuse!!

[thepixie]

I'm amazed at these self-weaning babies. No sign of it here.... Beth is still completely booby obsessed.

[MummyTummy]

Well..... I'm next!

Check out my announcement here!

I think this is the reason for the weaning!

[*Beema*]

MT

Not the reason behind N's weaning , I wish she hadn't !

[*Beema*]

[Arimeh]

[thepixie]

Nothing much to report around here.... just the usual, work, looking after DD etc.
What are all those bubbas up to these days? DD is very talkative and can say lots of words... hello, byebye, tea, toast, shoes, yes please, thanks, read book, and sings songs - favourites are wheels on the bus and row row row your boats. she gives great kisses too a big proper mwaah kiss! We sit her on the potty about twice a day but she has no idea why
how is everyone?

[MummyTummy]

Hehe!! I was looking at this thread the other day, but didn't have time to post..... my life lately!!

So..... how is everyone?

AFM: Looking after the Jett Monster and growing this bub is exhausting me!! Especially as Jett has been teething for the last 4-6 weeks - so far we have 6 teeth through.... 2 left of the 8 I am expecting!! At least i can be pretty sure that he won't be teething by the time this one is born!

We have booked a holiday to Hamilton Island in a couple of weeks....and I have a note from my doctor to allow me as I will be coming back after I am 36 weeks! They probably won't even ask!

Finishing up work at the end of this week, which is good because I have done absolutely no preparation for this baby. I feel so guilty - we don't even have a shortlist of names if it turns out to be a boy, and I think the girls list needs a bit of a rethink too! Any suggestions?

Hey pix

Kelts is pretty talkative, not as much as Aricyn was at the same age, but I think cos I don't have as much time to read to her in the same amount as I did with him. She does know a few words though, hi, byeeeeeee, mummy, daddy, E-en (eden), shoes, juice, milk, bottle - so we are getting there! She probably comes up with a new one every few days I suppose.

I let her walk around naked sometimes when she wants too, but she just pees and says "weeeeeeeeee".. but won't sit on the potty - can't make her do anything this girl cos she just squeals her tonsils out!! Drives me darn batty some days.

MT - can't believe how quickly your pregnancy is going!!! So excited for you Nearly there!! And you wouldn't want any of MY suggestions for names, I'm sure!! LOL

Grrr I'm so over my dog breaking into the house (she can open the screen door with her paw) she does it squillions of times a day!! And - she just broke in and VOMITED on the rug!!! ARGHHHH!!!! If its not enough that I have to clean up kelti's pee, Eden's puke - now I have DOG PUKE!!!

[MummyTummy]

Suggest away Mel!! I do like your names!

N is very chaty, her list of words is huge Getting closer to 50 words...

She is also getting really good at recognising objects etc by name in books, so lots of our reading time is also... where is the tree... where is the bird... and so on and so on.. She loves reading books, playing with random objects around the house and exploring Especially the out doors. I think she is going to be a cooking fan too.

She goes on the potty mornings and night and if we remember when we are home on the weekends or Fridays during the day. Most mornings and evenings she wee's and is now saying weeeeee and occassionally does a poo. It will be a long time before she would be fully TT even if we get the daytime happen all the time, as she still drinks a lot overnight and before bed, so we would have a sopping wet bed. But in no rush, jsut letting her take her time. It was a visit to Pixie's that started it after we went for a swim she wanted to use Beths potty she did and wee'd

She has been hospital trip free for two months!! longest stretch since last April Touch wood!!

She's been walking for a couple of months now and getting better, but still regularly loses her balance which I am sure is pretty normal

She loves singing and hum's the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle quite regularly.

She follows directions really well and holding hands when we request, after a couple of months of battling and mini tantrums

Probably much more but can't really think now!

Wow everyone must be busy - thread keeps on going quiet
How is everyone? All is good here, constant whinging and squealing makes one feel alive doesn't it?

I'm switching the kids bedrooms over today - so sick of yelling/getting angry at the two older kids when they have breakfast/morning tea/lunch/arvo tea because they are so noisy (all in good fun of course) but they wake Eden up cos she is still in our room - which the kitchen table is right outside of!!! Plus, when they play in the garage they squeal and carry on, and wake eden up cos our bedroom is right beside it. So the plan is to move the cot into kelti's room, kelti into aricyn's room, and aricyn into kelti's room - got that? LOL

So aricyn and eden will be sharing a room (cos kelti still wakes up from time to time for a few hours in the middle of the night, so don't want her waking eden) whereas aricyn wakes up but comes and sleeps in our bed, so no worries about him waking eden. Please keep your fingers crossed that this plan works!! HAHA!!!! I'll miss having eden in our bedroom, cos I love her sleeping next to me, but I don't think its fair on the other kids to be yelled at all the time when they are just having fun Do you think I'm doing the right thing?

Not much else has changed, kelti is in size 2 clothing now, she was in a sleep suit last night and her feet are almost too big for them already - hopefully it lasts her through winter though. Have to measure her again cos I think she has had a growth spurt. Bloody tall children, keep growing out of their clothes/shoes - everything!! LOL

Hope everyone else is doing well, I should go start the moving process
