What a classic. I had to clean up floor-poo when Nat was sick... Not fun.
What a clever boy, climbing the stairs!
Well here's our news... Natty is FINALLY on the move. Today she was inch-worming her way around the place (but getting cross after a while because she can't sit herself up again).
Tried a straw cup today - her reaction when she got the water into her mouth was absolutely hilarious! She was surprised, but soon regained her composure and began to guzzle it down!
LINZ!! How wonderful to hear from you again!! Glad to hear you are all well and Laila sounds like she is moving along very nicely
I've been a bit slack in here lately sorry about that guys. So good to hear that everyone is 'moving' hehehehe Glad there are no steps in my house or I would be forever chasing Maya. She just wants to go where I dont want her to so our house is fully child proof now, I have given up having my own little table that has simple things such as a box of tissues, remotes, my drink etc..........
Amy, hope everything is going alright with the milk thing, I think its one of the hardest decisions to make, you dont like to have to test 'this and that' with them as their little tummies are still so young but its the only way. I still have Maya on Lactose Intolerance formula and will be going to the doctors soon to see if its alright to try her on something different like the A3 Milk etc...
Anyway, glad to hear everyone is well, Lotusflower; hope theres no more pooey accidents happening and so glad your back Linz!
luv
Chantal
PS: OMG!!!! Your pregnant Linz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you, now to sus out your thread for it....haha!!
Good to see you back in here too, Linz
Laila sounds like a healthy, active little girl. How wonderful.
I finally got around to putting things away in boxes yesterday so Natty can have free-range of the lounge room. She's not very fast yet, (probably given that she moves like a caterpillar LOL!) so if I see something I haven't put away and it looks like she's going for it I still have time to move it.
If it is raining on Tuesday our MG will be coming here as the wet weather contingency plan, so I think I am going to get a rude shock - there are quite a few who are cruising the furniture, and most of them are demon crawlers. I guess I'll find out precisely what's not baby-proof around here then
It is a tough call when lactose intolerance is involved... Hopefully changing over goes really well for you, Chon. Is it likely that Maya has grown out of her lactose intolerance? Or do you think you might go to lactose-free milk?
I'm going to see what the doctor suggests and then make my desicion after that. I just want to do what is best for Mayas little belly.
BIG NEWS: Maya stood from a sitting position today and stood on her own!! She did it a few times when she saw that I was clapping and cheering
I'm so proud of her!
Welcome back Lindsay!
WTG Maya!
How did the MG go Amy?
Not much happening over here, just getting everything organised for the big birthday bash! Arrrgghhh!
My poor boy is currently sporting his 4th split lip in 2 weeks! He goes too fast with his deformed crab crawling and an arm will lslide out from under him. Last night it was on the slate tiles! Yeouch!
Awhhhh, poor little Noah, hope he slows down for you
Also going 'gun ho' with 1st birthday too!! I have 28 adults coming and 6 kids, didnt expect everyone to accept the invitation
I have ordered the food (finger food), cake and now have to start buying the bits and pieces like balloons, table cloths, plates...etc etc Having a small marquee out in the back yard as we will eat out there, so hope its going to be a nice day (December 9th)
Fun but becoming a little costly (Mummy going overboard)But its my little girl and a very special day.
Whats everyone else organising? Any themes? I was just thinking of doing pink and white, but ideas would be great.
Wowee at the parties, girls. TBH we haven't done a lot of prep for Natty's... But we have a whole month to go, so I figure we'll get something organised! We're thinking of having it at the State Forest where there's room for all the kids to run around. Plus it is DH's birthday too and he loves birds, and the State Forest, so that was kind of his choice as well. I expect she will have some sort of bird for her birthday cake - an outdoorsy theme anyway. Most of her adventures have involved bushwalking and birdwatching, and she seems to really love trees and leaves.
I am preparing a DVD slideshow of photos of her and our family - Natty's first year. DH has taken some awesome photos of her (and I have too, even if I do say so myself ) so I want to show them off
Lauren, MG is tomorrow - but if it is a nice day like today was we're going to the park so I won't have to worry. (I'm really hoping we go to the park... The more Natty moves around the more I realise this place needs soooo much work LOL!) Poor Noah and his sore lip He will soon learn. They are so unco at this stage, aren't they?! Nat has started crawling (dragging herself) INTO the coffee table
Pink and white sounds like a good theme, Chon - really work-able, you'd have heaps of options. You could go really traditional with your decos (like pink and white streamers and baloons) and have little lolly bags or boxes... What is on the cake you've ordered? Any pictures? You could design something like a simple picture, like a stick figure of a little girl with a baloon or something, and print it on some of the decos... This doesn't sound good, but gee it looks good in my head
Linz, gotta love Dora! Natty has just discovered the Wiggles DVDs... She has a wiggles book and laughs when she sees the Captain, but this week we've watched Pop Go the Wiggles and she loves it
hi everyone, i have just joined BB, hopeing to find some likeminded mummas here!
I had a little fella, blake, who was born dec 23rd. we are all preparing for his birthday, which i am going ot have on the 16th instead of the 23rd, its just soooo busy that time in december!
Do you think its an issue that my boy doesnt really show too much interest in walking? he cant stand up on his own either, he will walk from one person to another, but he wont just let go of furniture and walk off. the most steps we have counted is 14. I know i shouldnt worry, but he has only stood unassisted like once....
Amy- Laila has 1 wiggles DVD and she sorta like sit but I dont put it on cause I cant stand the wiggles,lol.
Blakesmum- Our bubs have their Bday on the same day. It dosnt matter if Blake isnt showing interest in walking yet. Laila isnt walking yet but she is trying.. she surfs everything and can stand by herslef unaided sometimes.. they will do this for awhile (maybe months) before they will take their 1st step/s.
I think he is doing great!!!
thanks lindsay, i cant help but worry when i have EVERYONE asking me if he is walking, yep he surfs all over the place too, he has one of those wlakers that he pushes around the house. too cute.
Nope, i am not a wiggles fan either, i have been trying to encouage sesame street with blake.
LOL Linz, their overacting can be pretty annoying, but I love the songs - they are the same as the ones I learnt as a kid, plus a couple of newies.
Welcome to BB, Blakesmum Gosh, I wouldn't be worried that Blake isn't walking yet... Natalie has only just started crawling a couple of weeks ago! Yes, she's a late starter, but her development is still 'normal'. From my understanding, kids will start walking some time before 15-16 months of age (even as late as 18 months for bottom shufflers) and this is 'normal'. If Blake is stepping along beside you and has stood unaided, he's doing marvellously!
Sesame Street is good fun.
Blakesmum; he is doing fantastic! Maya is still walking from furniture to furniture and walks everywhere with her little push toys. She hasnt taken a step by herself yet and has only just started standing by herself without holding onto anything
Amy; your idea for a birthday sounds wonderful, what a great idea. Love the slideshow idea, I have started a scrapbook of Maya and I'm starting to get addicted, its so much fun! I thought it would be a nice way to show off some photos for everyone to look at on her birthday, maybe have some of our home videos on the telly. But the scrapbook thing is great, I may end up with heaps of scrapbooks by the time shes 30!!! If I get time I will take some photos of it and put it in my photo album.
Getting excited about Christmas too, got my tree up and starting to get all the Chrissy presents off layby................my goodness I am organised this year!!!!!!
What a classic. I had to clean up floor-poo when Nat was sick... Not fun.
sorry about that guys. So good to hear that everyone is 'moving' hehehehe
(Mummy going overboard)But its my little girl and a very special day.
He will soon learn. They are so unco at this stage, aren't they?! Nat has started crawling (dragging herself) INTO the coffee table
