Hi Everyone, wooooo, there was lots to catch up on. Happy New Year!
Buzzie - excellent work re the letter. It will be so good when Rob's parents ask him for an explanation. Ash has the best laugh and you can't help but laugh with him. Good news on the walking.
MoM - good news on the walking as well. Monique isn't very confident just yet but we can let her go and she will stand but then realises we don't have hold of her and she sits down.
Bek - you will be fine on Tuesday but I know exactly how you feel. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Adkins - how exciting building a house.
I can't believe all the teeth the babies have. Monique only has the two bottom, half a top one and the other top tooth just popping out. We have had lots of grief with the top teeth coming through.
Well done to all the other bubs walking or almost there. Plus all the other achievements like clapping - woohoo.
I have forgotten all the pages of posts now (sorry baby brain).
Tinsel - both my kids have cut all their teeth fairly promptly, and both cut a lot all at once. Very rarely did they cut only one tooth at a time. But my mum said my brother didn't have a tooth in his head until after 1 yr old LOL. Don't know when I got my teeth, should ask her.
I wonder if the fact that my kids had all their teeth like this is why they're such good eaters? Kayla can chomp down on anything and I don't have to worry now that she has 4 chomping teeth at the back. I do still have to remind her to chew sometimes! But she manages just about everything now. I finally let her have her own bowl of food the other day (grapes cut in half, and then some pasta), expecting her to tip it all over, but she did well, just took a couple of pieces of food out at a time. Normally I hand her her food to hold & eat. So yay, I don't have to do that anymore! I still do spoon feed her occasionally but cut it quite roughly so it's like she's taken a bite of something. That way I know she's actually eating something and not just playing with it LOL.
Well, I should get back to cleaning. Got the IL's coming over tonight. And we need to clear up the garage a bit and the area out the back in preparation for our party next week! I bought all the ingredients for the train cake yesterday, and some face paints and stuff. I'm quite excited! hehe.
Have any of you got Amber teething necklaces for your bubs ? I just ordered one for Abbey. Hoping it works, cos at $40 it's not the cheapest thing. Could have got her a charm for her Pandora instead! lol.
LoriRae, woohoo on Ty clapping, clever boy he is. See, Playschool does teach them things.
Bek, your scan will go just fine huni. Can't wait to hear all about it though. Us clucky girls can just live through you preg ones!
Nic, isn't it always the way that when you go to bed late they sleep. Abbey is still waking atleast 3 times a night. No matter what time she goes down.
Hoody, sorry to hear about your migraines huni. They really are the worst. Thankfully I don't get them too often.
Susan, woohoo for Keiran. Clever man he is. Sorry to hear that poor Tiger is unwell though, it's hard when your kids are sick. As I'm sure you know only too well
Adkins, Ohhh how exciting building your own home. I wish!
Lauren, huni as you wait for that call. Do as Nic says and ignore it until you are ready to speak with him. Did you include your phone number on the letter to his parents so they can call you if they want ?
Poor Abbey jammed her fingers in the back sliding door yesterday. right below her nails, the door even latched shut! Finger's went a bit purple but seem ok now.
She's getting alot more game with her walking too, taking more steps and letting go alot more.
Lori – woohoo on ttc #2! That’s fantastic! I still haven’t decided if and when we will be going for round 2, I’d like to get a bit of decent sleep first lol And woohoo on Ty learning to clap!! They are so cute when they learn something new.
Susan – yay for your clever little man taking a few steps, he’ll be off in no time! How is Tiger? Hope he is doing better.
Lauren – I still can’t believe Rob never told his parents, and his excuse of he didn’t want to ruin his brother and sister’s news is pathetic… oh well you’ve posted the letter now, that’s all you can do. How do you feel? I’d think it would be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders!
Hoody – that’s great losing 3kg already! Hope Molly isn’t too bad for you with the teething. Good luck with the specialist, make sure you let us know how you go.
Nic – glad the “s” word is getting better for you, Jake seems to have gone backwards again but I think that it has something to do with his teeth, poor little mite.
Tinsel – we only have 6 teeth here at he moment, but there are 2 others that I can see coming through and DH seems to think he saw a molar there last night… what the?? I thought they came through when they were 2!!
Liz – Jake fed himself last night for the first time, well sort of. I’d put the potato on his fork, give it to him expecting it to be everywhere and he popped it straight in his mouth and gave me the fork back for more lol. Now I just have to let him have the bowl too!
Trish – I’d be interested to know how the teething necklace goes, not sure how they work? Poor Abbey jamming her finger in the door, Jake did that a few weeks ago and it left a dent in his finger for a few days, hope she’s ok!
Well I’d better get back to the housework, making the most of it while Jake has his sleep, although he’s been helping me this morning changing the sheets and hanging out the washing… or running off with it lol!
Adkins - yes it is a huge weight lifted off. but if i think about it i feel very sick in the stomach from nerves. - i think its just the fact of waiting for the unknown..A little like being pregnant the first time LOL
Nic - Yay on the sleep. I dont think i can even remember a night i slept that long.... *sigh*
Trish - nope, no number. I didnt want them ringing me incase i wasnt prepared for it. i just gave them my email addy.
I meant to ask you, how do you deal with Abbey being a squealer? Ash is going nuttso.. and found to quickly shut him up i needed a shock factor and was tapping his hand, i NOT a smacker but nothing else was working. BUT he caught on very quickly and when mum does it he smacks back... when i saw that i was blown away and told her we are never doing that again - i dont want him thinking its ok to smack!
so now ive revolted to blowing in his mouth LOL he hates it but even tho ive done it 100 times, he still gets a shock lol. what do u do?? i cant wait for this phase to be over!!!
Ash is becoming such a little chatter box these days its soo cute. Says up, down (does actions with his hands) says round and round and round when i put his food in the microwave. on and off when we are in the car and the lights turn on and off lol and my absolute FAV!... "Oh O' ! when he crashes toys or drops something he says "Oh O" - this morning he was in the bath and slipped, it was just a little one as i caught him, and he sits up and says "Oh O" i cracked up laughing!
I just love this age!!
Girls - I have been out of the BB forum for months now due to full time work and raising my DD and with her birthday being four days be\fore xmas and all the family catchs up before xmas to do.
I have had a quick skim and and hoping to contribute more as from what I have read everyone is doing great and has provided much support for all on here.
I was just wanting feedback from those who have had their 12 mth needles - hope many needles are there 2 or three? The Doctor I saw was unsure when I asked even though she has an 18mth old herself. I am booked in for DD needles with my regular DR in a week and it has just been playing on my mind.
Has anyones littlies had any adverse reactions? Has any one decided not to have them just yet or have them one by one over a period of time?
This is reallyplaying on my mind and I just can't get it out of my mind.
Kts - Ash had his yesterday. He seems to be fine so far. Barely cried at all after it.
The MMR usually take a week or so for reactions to kick in if there are going to be any.
I was very happy for Ash to have these ones, especially now there saying measles made a come back a few months ago... how ever the nurse was saying there not fully covered till they have had the second dose at 4yrs old i think it was??
It 3 needles at this stage - MMR, Meningococcal C and Hib
I personally wouldnt take Ash to someone who didnt know which needles were supposed to be given, sound sussy to me!
- i think its just the fact of waiting for the unknown..A little like being pregnant the first time LOL
