Hey Bekz, no wonder you were done! Doesn't hurt to put some fear into dh. Who knows, he might surprise you with something nice!
Rafferty's I just get from woolies/coles.
Same for the Sweet William lauren. in the organic section. If you're real desperate I'll send you some!!! he he he.

Bekz, what was your settling technique you were using again? WTG on the improvement.

No way is dd too big. if the weight & height match, then she's perfect. They need to put on as much weight as they can now cos when they're toddlers they can't consume enough in a day for what they expend. Ella's less than 10th percentile. That freaks me out a bit, but now that she's actually gaining weight i'm not going to stress. I think she's gotten chubbier in the last few weeks too.

Lauren, drooling over the sound of those photos. can't wait to see them...

Just have to jump in and say we've bought tickets to the Wiggles LMAO. The latest DVD we hired was a live in concert one, and both DH & I thought it looked like fun, so we bought some tickets. Unfortunately all the 'hot potato' seats are taken, so we'll be in the upper section of the entertainment centre, but I'm sure Tallon won't mind. He's not the type to get in the mosh-pit anyway LOL. The seats right in front of the stage don't look great anyway, coz they can't see the whole stage, and it'd be worse for the little kids. So yay! 20th December we're going to the wiggles!

Hi everyone
Lauren - So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you get a chance to see him. The photos sound adorable cant wait to see them.
Lori - Great news that Ty is on the mend and WOOHOO on the sleep. Even one night makes such a difference for us
Bek - at the explosion - at least you could blame AF I'm just a biatch lately. No hope of any support from grandparents as we have absolutely no family support here
Liz - Ah the Wiggles - You'll have a ball.
Jus - Great news that Ella's gaining weight.
Nic - Jacob stop mucking up at night - I hope he starts sleeping better soon for you so you can make the most of Olivia's lovely sleeping.

Well we took Vicky out of the baby capsule today and put her forward facing in a car seat...she had the biggest smile the whole ride and no screaming - Yipee! but my little girl is growing up so fast. We went and laybyed the kids "big" christmas pressie today at Target - A toy kitchen - Alex was so upset that we didn't take it home today just have to wait kiddo.
Thank you for all your kind words and reassurance's I think im actually looking forward to a little break from DP as he is just driving me insane *sigh*. I got a bit of a practice run tonight as he is out at a concert so I had to bath & bed the kids - no problems but then after I had cooked tea (homemade pizzas) for all of us plus his mate & his GF I was left to also clean up....good thing DP isn't home til tomorrow.
Well have a lovely Sunday everyone

Jus - Sounds like our bubs are at either end of the height and weight sectrum....would be funny to see of pic of them together hey!! I am not using any particular settling technique. I actually took your approach and decided to do it my way or by instict iykwim. Therefore I have decided to keep a simple routine of cuddling Loren until she is really settled, then put her in the cot (whilst still half awake) and settle her by sitting beside the cot with one hand on her until she is asleep. If I here her stir I am trying to settling her by sitting next to the cot or I pick her up and put her down when settled. For some reasong this is working and she has even settled herself quite a few times over night....You never know this maybe a turning point but tonight could be back to normal.

Liz - WTG on the Wiggles concert. I want to take Sara if I can. Wiggles are the :band" of the moment for us.

YAY Liz!! Another Wiggles fan! I brought tickets for Ash for is birthday, and we got upper section too, i brought them 4 days after going on sale and all 8 concerts were sold out on lower levels i hope Ash will like it from there. We're going on the 16th Dec - Kids under 12months are free..so got him in with just a week to go! woot!!! hehe

Morning All!

Last night was SO much better. worked out why Jacob was waking so much the night before. The Bl@@dy cough mixture I bought had pseudoephergine (sp) in it (speed basically) and it can cause sleeplessness I asked for a non drowsy one so I guess I got that.. It stopped the cough though but we got a worse nights sleep.. He slept well last night with no coughing. He just fell out of bed a few times.. *sigh*

Olivia slept great. only woke the once 2am I think. I was swaying with tiredness so I don't know We went to inlaws for Birthday BBQ as it was FIL birthday yesterday. I was so tired I ended up pushing Simon out the door saying Lets go We had Reef and Beef and it was delish..

and we have tooth number 3. eye tooth number one is through, so we have two bottom and one top..

Today we have a BBQ Birthday Party for Ethans Birthday which is wednesday (and SImons which is Monday I have a cake for both but Simon doesn't know that everyone is celebrating his Bday today too )

Well after my huge rmble I shall go

[TeenaRose]

Just wanted to good morning all

Been having a few bad days here with missy no idea what is wrong, doesnt seem to be teeth no signs anyways more inclined to think she has picked up a bug somewhere...
Had a half decent sleep last night though feeling better this morning hope I continue to havea good dday

Have a great birthday BBQ NIc for the boys wont Simon be suprised

Woow Buzzie that is Olivia birthday you are going to the concert I honestly have to say Olivia isnt into any tv at all shows not a ounce of interest..

I was trying to get her that Playgro car Travel gym from Target and its sold out here (the sale) and they dont know if they are getting any more in which is a right pain... What is the point of having a 2 week toy sale if the products sell out on the first day.. That is my vent anyways

Oh forgot to say happy belated 7 months my sweet pea

Take care all

Lauren - I'm not taking Kayla, and if I do, well, I doubt they'll be asking for ID to see if she's 1 yr old. hehe. She'll be 13mths by then. I can't imagine her being interested in the show, she doesn't even look at the TV yet LOL. Tallon showed no interest in TV for a long time either. So I'll have to see if mum will look after her for the afternoon, we're going to a 4pm one.

Wow, all these babies turning around in the car! I can't imagine Kayla turned around yet hehe. She'll be rear facing as long as possible I think.

Nic - I'm the same with those tablets.. even if I take one early in the morning I can't sleep that night. I'm not wide awake.. just can't sleep! So I go in search of ones that PUT me to sleep LOL.

Well, we're still having wakeful nights. I didn't have any caffeine yesterday, and she was better last night. Still woke frequently, but no incessant screaming.

Tallon on the other hand, woke around midnight and cried and cried and cried. Couldn't be consoled. It was awful, and annoying coz I was trying to settle Kayla at the time. Normally when he wakes he just jumps in our bed, lies down and goes back to sleep. Dunno what it was. He did have a whole cupcake with icing last night (someone else fed it to him - argh) so I'm thinking it was a sugar thing. He's really bad when he has sugar, he literally runs laps of the house or runs around in circles hehe.

Thankfully he loves eating fruits and things, and regularly asks for gherkins or olives, and eats popcorn as a snack too (freshly popped) so normally he has healthy snacks. I don't really object to junk food coz he eats well other times, but geez.. he's hard to handle when he has it.

Well, must go, we're all going to have a nap! hehe. Altho I don't really want to fall asleep, I want to make use of my child-free time!

Bye!
