Buzzie - your big little man sounds just like Alex at that age and Alex is just over two and nearly 1m tall. Warning in advance they grow out of clothes & shoes really quick we have to buy new shoes every 2 months and he wears size 3-4 in clothes mostly.
Bek - Cake sounds yummy might have to go and raid my cupboard now
Nic - Great to hear you are getting some good sleep happening & what lovely boys looking after themselves and letting mummy sleep. Was wondering how old were your boys when you started letting them fish - DP is itching to take Alex but i'm a little iffy about the hooks & that.
RoryRory - oh the thought of even just a few hours of no kids - just bliss - tho would miss them like crazy - have a nice trip away
Alicia - Both of mine are in bed by 7.30pm Vicky's feed to sleep & Alex has stories & songs so is asleep by 8pm. Both wake up between 5.30am & 6.30am atm.
Louise - Sorry to here things have been a little crazy hope it all settles back down for you soon.
Haven't got the new pics up yet as batteries in camera needed recharging and ended up on the phone for an 1hr with my sis last night. Everything pretty sweet here just the usual insanity oh and Vicky rolled yesterday
Have a great day everyone

LOL at these big boys!

My DS is just over 2, and he'd only be about 12kg! (he probably should have been rear facing in the car for the whole 2 years LOL). Last height check he was about 84cm I think, that was about 4 months ago. Morgan - sounds like Alex is going to be very tall - they are half their adult height at just over 2. I think you do it at around 2yr 4mth. DS will probably be like me & DH, around 175cm. He's been following his own curves just sitting under the 50th percentile in weight & length.

Hi Girls,
I have been MIA that long that it took me ages to find the post!
Hope everyone is doing well - have not had time to catch up on everyones news but will attempt to do this soon.
Bronte has some good days & some not so good days - settling/ wind issues mainly (I suspect). I don't really have her on a set routine which is freaking me out a little but reassuring to know that some of you girls are the same.
I have my IL's out visiting from Scotland so they are loving spending time with Bronte & DS Damon. Once they leave again you should hear a bit more from me.
Hope I haven't missed anything major & that everyone & their bubs are doing really well!

Hi Mummy2Two

Miss DD Sara was 93 cms at 2yo and 12kg. I think that is pretty tall for a girl. Atm is going out of size 2 tops but we are still in size 1 and 2 pants.

OMG - I just read my last post and I can't believe how many typos I made...I think I was distracted

[morgan78]

Wow Bek Sara is going to be a really tall girl.
Hi Mum2Two i hope you have a really good time with the scottish in laws thats lovely that they have been able to come over & see you and the kids.
Liz - Alex is just over 15kg and he is 2yr & 3 months. I am glad he was 6 weeks early (2.4kg & 50cm long) as i shudder to think what he would of been full term. Funniest thing is my entire side of the family struggle to get past 5ft 3.

Just put a couple of new pics up too.

Was wondering how old were your boys when you started letting them fish - DP is itching to take Alex but i'm a little iffy about the hooks & that.

We first took the boys fishing when they were under one but we bought Ethan his first fishing rod not long after he turned 18 months.. jacob has been the best so far and holding his own fishing rod since he was 17 months old.. We cast it out for them and they just go for it..

A tip though if you are worried about hooks. just put a sinker on. they won't know the difference

Olivia held the fishing rod for the first time yesterday We start them young LOL

Hehe - Kayla was 6 weeks early and was 3.5kg!! 49cm long i think. can't remember. I think she's averaged out now tho... must've just been a super-placenta LMAO.

OMG I missed out on the start of a new thread. Shame on me. I have been so slack in here lately.

This daylight savings bit is killing me. The kids are up before 6am every damn day. The only one that does sleep in is Abbey, which is all well and good if it weren't for the others.

Abbey doesn't hat a routine as such and her day sleeps are becoming painful atm. We are lucky to get a sleep cycle out of her. I so don't want her to end up like Tehya with her crap sleeping. On the upside though Abbey is generally a pretty good night sleeper. She starts her bedtimee routine around 8pm, bum change, wrapped and then a huge boob feed. I get her to bed and within 10 minutes she is awake crying. She does this everynight. I pick her up, give her a cuddle, she sucks her thumb and goes back to sleep. Not sure why she wakes up after the 10 minutes, perhaps that is the first sleep cycle, as by the time she is fed and in bed it's been about that much time.

Welcome Jus and congrats on your little girl Ella.

Not sure how big Abbey is now. I haven't weighed her since the week she turned 4 months. I got a reminder letter from the GP the other day about Abbey's immunisation, still not very sure if I want to continue with them. At the moment I am leaning very much towards not.

We went out and got ourselves a new flat screen plasma on the weekend and a new front loader washer. OMG how long do those things take to do a load. I understand that they are more water efficient but surely at going for 2 hours they can't be energy efficient . Now to pay the damn things off. I am going to sell the old washer and tv on Ebay. Hopefully I will get some decent $ for them and put it towards a repayment. Got to love GE Finance. LOL.

Sorry for the selfish post. I seem to be doing alot of them lately
