no real milestones here, my ds is starting to say more words. Today dh and I heard him say clear as day "Andrew", dh's name.

Hmm, don't know how I missed a thread change!! how bizarre!! Must have been ages ago that I updated you girls on Em!!

We got rid of the dummy last month, and instantly her vocabulary increased!! Her ankles roll in and the GP has said to keep an eye on it. She learned to walk mid move while we were staying in a hotel for 2 weeks She still isn't handling anything with milk in it, unless it is treated so she needs to see a dietician because we have filled the last repeat on her formula script. When DH get home she will be moving into a big bed so that the cot is available for her little sister.

HI gals,
All's well here.
I've been debating the big bid issue, and all I know is that she'll be in one by the end of the year. No more kids here need the cot, so there's no need to move her out until she outgrown it (which will be soon). We took the front off the cot for DD1 a few months before moving into a big bed, and that was at about 20 months, so we may do that in a couple of months.

I find Bailey's speech isn't as developed as Ardyn's was at the same age, and although I KNOW that I shouldn't compare children, it's so darn hard not to. The doc did say that she should have a few more definite words now, but being a second child her big sister does a lot of the talking for her (doesn't shut up actually!! Ha!). Apparently it was the same for me growing up. I was a second child and didn't talk until closer to 3.

I'm sure that as soon as she starts she won't stop, so I'm helping her along and just waiting for the floodgates to open.

And that's about it here. Everything's moving along nicely. We have tantrums, we have accidents (she fell off the couch head first onto the tiles last night) but we're all surviving.

I hope that more mums come on and give an update.

We've had the side off DS's cot for about 4 months now. We had no issues doing it, he went to sleep as usual and never gets out. We were surprised how easy it was.

Speech is still a lot of baby babble - ALL DAY LONG! The boy never shuts his mouth I swear

Uses the words "more, hello, bye, nah (no), banana, mum, dad, ta, ruby (cat)" and a few others. No sentences yet.

He's been walking unassisted since he was 10 months however in the last week or so he's been tripping over his own feet quite a bit. Had him all checked out at the DR's for ear infections etc. that might cause balance issues but all's clear. I guess he's just in a rush to get places and isn't picking up his feet properly.

Hi girls!

Sheesh its been a while since I've been in here!

Lots has happened since then.

We have moved to Brisbane for me to do Bach of Midwifery.

Colby is growing well. Vocab is slow to develop (compared to Briley anyways) but starting to talk quite a bit now. Still on the bottles unfortunately.

Great to see you back in her Kirsten!

Sara - Em still has her bottles, I have picked my battles on that one. Getting the calcium into her is more important than getting rid of a bottle. How are you enjoying Brissy?

Em has a fever today and a cough and runny nose, her eye is getting a but gunky too, so I am using some eye drops that we already had, and some panadol. It is really hard having a sick toddler and SPD together, especialy while I am on my own. Sara, I don't know how you do it.

Sara.
I have been in and out - lurking a bit too.

I used to be a member of so many forums, kept my Blog up to date and read many other Blogs......then Bailey came along. Ha!
Seriously though, no forums, my Bog hasn't been updated for MONTHS (sorry to family and friends who live interstate) and Facebook was invented!!!

If I have time on the computer, I find myself catching up on there. It's evil I tell you!

I miss catching up with my cyber-mum's group actually. I'll have to come back more.
For now, I'm off to vacuum before Miss B awakes.
