Hi all,
Lauren- Big thinking of you today hun.
Liz- That makes me feel better Ty's a shorty so I think that's a bit of the problem with sitting- he can't reach anything sitting up. And he's always loved his tummy time, even as a newborn. It's his favorite position to be in.
Haroula- Lovely to have you back
We have swim lessons today for the first time in six weeks! I changed the time we go so that Ty can have a morning nap first- he was always so overtired by the time they finished, it was not fun. Hoping today goes better. And then we are doing some shopping yay!! I so love to shop for toys and we got some cash for the christening- fisher price bongo drums, here we come!!
Thankyou soo much everyone for your thoughts. Im back home now and its so good to be back. It was so hard seeing so many ppl you loving in so much pain! It was a looong day and Ash did fantastic was great on the plane too. Didnt get home till 11 last night as we both passed out and Ash slept till 7am so that was ok.
Ash fell asleep durning the funeral so i got my first chance to really cry which i needed as it was soo hard to stay strong when i have ash in my arms all the time i just could never cry in front of him.
This is a bit of change of subject but whilst im posting, i have put Ash in the Face of little tikes competition and you can only vote once per computer so for those who havent got my email already can everyone vote for him i have entered him in late so theres not much time to get votes Thankyou
Funerals are so hard.. I am glad Asher was good though. It helps when the kids are good
I voted for Asher..
Olivia got tooth number 4 yesterday so 2 bottom and 2 top but not the middle ones the ones next to that.. it looks so funny.
She is very much on the move now... gets up on all 4's and rocks.. then she can wiggle all the way around the room. It is so very cute..
i have been doing a lot of bike riding.. My poor legs and lungs yesterday afternoon told me to turn around but the boys and i got out for about half an hour.. Olivia stayed home and helped Daddy cook dinner..
We left Olivia with a friend on Monday so Simon and I could ride up to get Ethan from school.. Olivia cried the whole time we were gone Poor bubba.. pretty much jumped into daddy's arms when he went to pick her up and snuggled in and wouldn't look at our friends..
Simon is about to take the boys riding now. Olivia just went down for a nap.. I prob should go while she is asleep but I think I want some nice quiet time
Hi all,
Lauren- Bet you are glad to be home again. Glad Ash was a good boy. I voted for him too.
Nic- You are so motivated with that bike riding! I am impressed! Poor Olivia, crying like that. ty does it too Me and dh had planned a night away at a hotel and to go see phantom but I can't standx the thought of Ty crying all night for us , so not sure if we'll go
Finally got a new DVD so Ty could watch some Wiggles this morning. And he was totally not fussed at all, barely even looked at it. Oh well.
OMg I just cleaned my whole house in an hour!!!!! omg omg.. Olivia is asleep and the boys are all out riding. WOOOOOT!!
I seriously have not had a house this clean since Xmas.. I feel so bloody good.. and AF is here too I know I know TMI but lately I have been foul when that arrives
hehe.. I hope everyone else is having a day as good as mine,.
Nic, you are making me feel like a lazy bum. I am still in my PJ's sitting in my recliner in the sun with the TV on and the laptop. Little miss has just gone for her nap so I best go have a shower and get ready for the day. The kitchen is a mess!
Nic can you come down to my unit next, it could do with a great spring clean but I have to finish month end for work first.
DH, and both girls have colds so we have canned the trip to the Vic snowfields for next week and instead are going to my parents place for a few days then will go to Thredbo for a night later in the week. Maria really wants to see snow.
Hi all,
Nic you're making me feel lazy too Ty is almost out of baby food, I really should be making more while he's sleeping but no motivation. I think my body's in hibernation state cause it's so cold....
Took Ty to the gp yesterday, he has execma (sp?) so I'm suffering from a serious case of starting-solids-3-weeks-early-and making-my-baby-sick-guilt
Lori: Olivia has bad ezcema on her arms and back at the moment so don't feel too guilty.. I am sure her flare up is more to do with the weather at the moment. All of my kids havehad ezcema at this age regardless of when they started solids.. so don't beat yourself up over it
Well I never even made it into my bed last night.. Thansk olivia I got tired about 10 so while I was cleaning my teeth what do I hear.. wah wah bloody wah wah.. She then bububububed her way till nearly midnight. I even got cross and said It is night time.. go to bloody sleep.. I was not a happy mummy at all.. We both ended up falling asleep on the lounge floor. I woke briefly at 4 and we were freezing.. pulled a blanket over us and went back to sleep till Simon woke for work at 5 and he put another blanket over us (aaww) it was really cold I got decent sleep though and I am not stiff for all I did yesterday and sleeping on the floor
Today I am taking it easy.. I didn't ride this morning as Olivia was all snotty and coughing so we will ride up to school this afternoon
Woo Hoo I can post again!!!!!!!! For some reason I have been unable to for ages.
Food - I make most of Olivia's food however I do use the Rafferty's Garden when I am busy or lazy. Plus we are going on a driving holiday to Adelaide at the end of August so I think the RG squirty packs will be the easiest thing to feed the little Miss with while we are on the road. Olivia had fish this week and loves it. Good thing we are not vegetarians as Olivia really seems to love her meat.
Teeth - Still only the two bottom ones here. The MCHN said that might be the case until she is 1!
Sleeping - We are still getting up at night but it has been a bit better this week. I am now playing constant classical music in her room and we turning the night light off. She is mainly just waking in the night out of habit now I think and usually goes straight back to sleep after she sees me and I put the dummy back in.
Olivia had her 8 month check on Monday and is doing really well. She is now 69cm long and weighs 8.7kg!!! It is so hard to believe that she will soon be a big 1 year old, this year has gone so fast!
Bugger I hear crying, BBL

Lori - Don't beat yourself up about excema. Both Loren and Sara have it, I use Medihoney...Honestly it is the only thing that works for my girls.
Nic - Olivia must be doing the same thing as Loren at the moment. For 3 nights in a row she has been awake from 2am till 4am. Wide awake yelling out mmmumma and bubba and getting up in her cot. Oh yeah and we are back to 15 min days sleeps too. Mind you she is teething atm, but it is doing my head in. Glad your fog has lifted, mine certainly hasn't. Have you found recovery after each baby harder? I am sure I had my self together by now after having Sara.
hi Alicia Good to see you in here Hi to Miss Olivia who sounds like she is doing great
Bek: it is so frustrating.. I hope she doesn't do it tonight cus I really need a full nights sleep or at least 5 hours
I feel blergh this afternoon.. Sore throat and fluey.. I better not be getting sick.. I felt to good yesterday. I hope I just over did it and accompanied by a bad night just made me feel icky today..
Olivia isn't in the best of moods this afternoon. tooth number 5 is in.. and she has a runny nose. i ended up giing her panadol a little while ago so I hope she settles down a bit
nope she if grumpy.. Will try dinner otherwise she can just go to bed..
My goodness tooth number 5. At least she'll get them all over quickly Nic. Loren has a big bubble on the top left tooth and I can see a little line in the gum. Tooth number 3 is only days away. I hope you are not getting sick Nic, I tend to get cold symptoms when I am tired too.
