Yeah I'm first!!!

**Snacks** · January 28th, 2008, 06:06 AM

LOL Shez, you get in trouble for things like that these days!

How are you going?
Natty is starting to stand on her own for 30 seconds or more... Then she remembers herself and sits down hard on her bum

**Shezabelle** · January 28th, 2008, 06:14 PM

Amy ooppss!! Oh how cute!! It's funny how they do things without thinking and then think oh I can't do that!! We are back from our trip. Issy slept the whole way home on the plane... Our bathroom is no longer!! Our reno started today.
How was everyones long weekend?

**Snacks** · January 29th, 2008, 05:31 AM

Ooooh, renos! How exciting!
Glad Issy was a little champ on the plane. That's awesome.
We had a lovely long weekend. Just caught up with people. Yesterday we drove down the coast to visit friends (she is a member on here, actually!). It was her 30th and so they had a party... And their baby was only 11 days old! I take my hat off to them, it was a lovely day and great to meet their tiny, gorgeous baby boy.

Hi everyone, hope you are all well!

Lovely to hear some of you have had some time away, I'm about due for that but have to wait for DP's holidays.

Maya has been officially walking everywhere since Saturday. I can finally put her in dresses

Its so great to not have dirty hands and knees!

She is enjoying music more now, I catch her tapping her hand or doing a little jig when she hears something she enjoys, so cute!

Hope to hear from some of you soon

**Snacks** · February 1st, 2008, 01:09 PM

Hey there. Hooray for Maya!

I'm mean and I put Natty in dresses anyway, LOL! Gorgeous about the dancing! How lovely.
Well, I had my first two days of work and my course yesterday and the day before... and I'm KNACKERED!
Oh, crap. Natty's awake. I was supposed to clean the bathrooms while she was asleep! Ah, it'll keep

**Zee** · February 1st, 2008, 07:39 PM

DD took her 1st step tonight from the coffee table to the couch!!!! She has also learnt how to climb on the coffee table the little monkey..she pulls out one of the draws, hops in it and climbs up!

Amy- I bet you are!!! Im thinking of doing a course while im at home, thats what im looking at now.

DD always sways & claps when she hears music its very cute!!!

**Charly's mum** · February 2nd, 2008, 12:09 PM

Amy congrats on the job, you will get use to it and it want be so tiring. I'm only starting to get back into the swing of it now.

Great to hear they are starting to walking.

Charly went back to swimming classes today, she has grown so much in the 6 weeks off plus she is now walking every where.

She has got the habit of grabbing hold of your shoulder or shirt and trying to get you to stand up and take her where she wants to go. Try putting her down and the legs come up, and the complaining starts. She diffently need to learn some more words.

Giving lots of kisses and cuddles, so cute the other day she was saying bye to DH and giving him a kiss then turns and grabs my shoulder and push me towards DH so I would give him a kiss LOL.

Potty training was going well until she learnt how to get of the potty by herself. Now need to look into getting one of the seats for the toilet.

Well I should be going have a birthday party to get to.

**Snacks** · February 2nd, 2008, 03:30 PM

Congrats on the first step, Laila!

Whoopee!
Yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to working again eventually... But in the mean time I am such a biatch to live with! Honestly, I don't even know why I'm pi$$sed off at DH, but I am... All the time, LOL.
I hear you on the complaining, Charlysmum. I'd love for Natalie to be able to speak. I hear her do her wingey cry and I can't stop myself from demanding, 'well, what's wrong this time?!'
GL with the TT, Charlysmum! I think I'm going to wait a while longer before we tackle that one

**Shezabelle** · February 7th, 2008, 09:57 PM

Everyone is very quiet... It's hard to find the time to get on here isn't it!! Nothing really new to report. Just popping in..
Love to all

**chon** · February 11th, 2008, 05:38 AM

Hi

yes, I think as our bubs are getting older we are becoming busier....lol

All is good here, Maya becoming more a little girl everyday

More to hug now, its lovely. Went for a short walk yesterday with her holding my hand, she got a real kick out of it, she even negotiated steps and obstacles really well.

Hope all is well with everyone
Luv
Chantal

**Zee** · February 11th, 2008, 01:36 PM

Hello sexy mummas,

Im sorry I havnt been in awhile...

Laila is now walking, she just decided last night to walk from on end of the loungeroom to the other & today she was outside and just walked around. Its so cute to watch, she gets the wobbles abit but then gets her balance again. Everytime she stops walking she claps LOL.

Well waiting on my Finance course stuff to turn up so i can start that..will be a busy mumma then.

**Charly's mum** · February 14th, 2008, 10:54 AM

Wow it is quite in here.

Charly is having a nap been an hour now so expected to hear her cry any minute.

Know what you mean Chon so cute when they walk around themselves and grab your hand to show you something or just to be a support.

Yep hear Charly now.

**chon** · February 15th, 2008, 06:38 AM

wow, it is quiet

Hope your work isnt keeping you away Amy....lol

Hope all is alright with everyone, thought I would pop in and announce its my Birthday today.....LOL Seeking free birthday wishes....lol.....missing my Nan heaps as its my first birthday since she passed away :-( so not feeling on the best of highs.

I am taking Maya to one of those playhouse places today with our bubs and Mums group, also some family coming along to watch Maya play, really looking forward to how she interacts in a place like that, should be a ball!!!

Catch up soon with all you I hope, love to hear how those beautiful bubs are

Luv
'another year older'
Chantal

**Snacks** · February 15th, 2008, 07:26 AM

Happy Birthday, Chantal!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Life is pretty busy, and I pop onto BB when I get half a minute, but it is never like the old sessions I used to have!
There's a lot of study to do for my course, and that's the biggest time-taker atm.
Sounds like everyone's doing well! Congratulations Laila on the walking!

Have fun at the playhouse today, Chon. I'm sure Maya will LOVE it. Take lots of pics - those ball pits are fantastic for colourful shots

This morning I was cuddling Natty goodbye and she was really cross because she wanted to be with her Daddy instead! How quickly things change... I'm no longer the favourite

**Shezabelle** · February 15th, 2008, 11:01 PM

HI everyone.. Belated birthday wishes Chantal!! I am good. Issy is so cute with the pointing and the talking!! I have to work at 645 tomorrow(today!!) and I am up because my reflux is so bad I cant lay down!!
Linds are u finding out flawour? When is our scan??
Love to all

**Snacks** · February 19th, 2008, 06:40 AM

Oh Shez, you must have been so exhausted! Do rennies work for you? They are kind of like eating chalk

But I found them helpful.
Hope everyone is well. We're doing well here, though always so jolly busy. Still no walking/talking/anything much from Natty, but she's getting there.
