WOW what a busy time of year. Im feeling overwhelmed with getting Jasmines birthday organised and having Xmas the very next week! I decided on NO THEME lol and I cant imagine how much harder it would be for me if I had have chosen one. Im off to organise her cake tomorrow, its just a photo cake. Then next week I have to pick up all the decorations from Spartys. Im thinking of buying the helium thing myself, and blowing them up at home, because I cant imagine driving in the car with all those balloons lol!
All of your babies that have had parties already look like they had such a wonderful time! I hope Jasmines day comes off just as well. THANKYOU for sharing all of your photos with me!
I dont have much time today, but I wanted to tell you on Wednesday I took Jasmine to try another Santa altogether, and this guy she loved! So I have her Santa photo up on her website. Of course the best photo of Jasmine had Santa's eyes closed, but oh well! He was such a good Santa. He came up to her in the pram and talked to her for a bit, she played with his beard, and then I undid her straps and she climbed right out and walked right over to him! She never does that. She never walks over to any stranger! So yeah it was fun. Compared to our first experience!
Also Jasmine took her first escalator ride with me! My mum refuses to ride them and I needed to go downstairs, and Jasmine wanted to come with me....shes too heavy to carry so I left the pram with mum and we very slowly walked to the escalator and she stood there very still the whole way. Was a pretty scary experience for me! Everywhere I go, people say to me "Oh she looks too little to walk" lol its true, then I say to them "imagine how she looked taking her first steps at 9.5 months" Freaks me right out! Jasmine practically feeds herself now too, and this morning she fed herself breakfast and hardly left any mess at all. She is getting so good at it. I got so sad. Im saying goodbye to my baby and hello to a toddler way earlier than I want to.
When I say "NO" to her... omg I get such filthy looks from her pmsl It cracks me up. She gets really angry and squeals when she cant do something, or when I dont let her. I think I have a hot head on my hands. Dont know where she gets that from lol She is still doing the phone thing, ANYONE at all she sees on the phone or ANY PHONE at all rings, she puts her hand up to her ear, leans on her hand and jabbers away. Its just too cute. I HAVE to catch it on video for you to see. Its classic.
I think thats all I wanted to share.
I will hopefully be back for better personals later on tonight but I just bought myself the Wii and I really want to play it
Yael What an interesting read that was. I LOVE that! Such a cultural background is so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing that. It read really well too.
Tiggy That sucks that you have to wait that long. Poor Ivy!!!! Maybe you can ask them if they have any cancellations can they put you in early. That just breaks my heart that little Ivy has to put up with it until then. And so do you and your family. Its not fair. Ive always had problems with my ears since I was born, and ended up losing my hearing in my left ear when I was in Year 9. I have had alot of surgery on my left ear and my ENT ended up being like part of the family I saw him that much! He's passed on now, otherwise I would ask him for help for you! I feel so sorry for Ivy, knowing what it feels like. Please vent to us anytime you need to. Actually if you want me to ring the ENT and force you an appointment earlier, let me know. Im pretty good at stuff like that!
Missy I bet you will miss Mothers Group. Im sad that Gymbaroo and pretty much everything shuts down for school holidays. Hello?? What do people with babies care about school holidays... lol. Jasmine sleeps with her bum up in the air now too. Its cute!
Sarajo Omg Abbys party. How cute is she!!!! I loved the cake, did you make it yourself? Looks like Abby enjoyed it too. She looks so cute all rugged up. I bet you had the best time. I love how you get into these things, youre very good at it. I cant wait to see your Xmas photos!!!
Beck YAY for getting spoilt! I must go and check out your blog! I have been getting the TRU emails but I havent bothered to go to the store. Im almost done with shopping. Can you believe I just said that LOL
Dani I admire you for going to work, but omg I would not ever be doing what theyre asking right now. Kick up a stink if you must, but surely they should understand. Sometimes I miss working, and then I read something like that and Im so glad I dont have to! Jett is way more important than any job, your right. Ok on the other hand, the boss part of me says the 16th of Dec is only like a week. As long as its not on going and they start to think, well ok she did it once, she will do it again. KWIM? Anyway Im sure the extra $$ will come in handy. You will make the right choice. Youre a great mum who makes good decisions.
Renee How exciting that your brother and SIL are coming to visit. Jasmine has been walking a while now. I say she started stepping about 9.5 months, and then stepped for a while, just for confidence I think. Gymbaroo really helped her along and gave me exercises to do with her, and then she just found her feet and off she went. Every day she finds something new to get into. Im sure Marnie will walk whenever she feels comfortable. I wish Jasmine didnt do it so soon sometimes! Another thing is Jasmine has no arch in her foot, she has flat flat feet like her Dad so maybe that made it easier for her?
Melly YAY for getting along with the ex. Im glad for you. You have it altogether, Im sure he must be very envious of that. Do you have school holidays soon and get a big break?
Meg How was work? LOL @ ate shampoo. Jasmine prefers the bubble bath to eat LOL! We keep having random unsettled nights too. My friend said to me that Jasmine is going through a huge growth spurt right now, and I should prepare for it. Ive been waiting for it. In fact she is eating alot more some days, and then barely anything the next. She is sleeping SOOOO much more too. At present, she is waking up around 12-1pm. She does get up around 8am, but has a bottle, new nappy and goes straight back to sleep. I dont know what to do with myself half the time! Its only been 1 week so Im hoping that I can have our days back soon.
As for the In-Liven, I didnt even know my quotes were on there lol.
Truly I can feel the difference. Im usually so sluggish, I could spend a whole day and night in bed if I could. With In-Liven, Im quite happy to jump out of bed in the morning. Im not as short tempered, and my patience threshold is higher. I also think its helping my anxiety too! Mind you, It tastes like ****. Seriously, the worst taste ever. I had to stop it for a while because I was gagging just by smelling it. But now Im drinking it with Nudie Juice and Im back to normal. I can feel it when Im not taking it. I dont even understand how something like a probiotic can have such an effect on me. I gave it a try, thinking most people were exaggerating, but really theyre telling the truth! I also take Centrum and FGF for Iron now too, and my body just feels better. Did I mention that I dont drink Coke now, at all?? I was a serious Coke drinker, like 5 cans a day! Now I cant even stand tasting it. And chocolate, I used to have it every day, now I only want it a few days before AF and then I dont have it again either. So weird. The only thing new to my life is In-Liven so it must be that! I recommend it, its a bit on the pricey side, but you can get it on ebay cheaper too
lol She is still doing the phone thing, ANYONE at all she sees on the phone or ANY PHONE at all rings, she puts her hand up to her ear, leans on her hand and jabbers away. Its just too cute. I HAVE to catch it on video for you to see. Its classic.
