Hi all,

Just checking in. Good to see you back Trish but sorry to hear B is still giving you a hard time.

Olivia discovered her foot today! She was sitting on me on the bed and suddenly looked down at her foot then followed up her leg with her eyes and back down again. You could see it dawn on her that that weird thing was actually attached to her

She did the same thing when she discovered her hand.

On the whole feeling pretty grumpy today. Cleaned out the laundry (which is like our storage room as well) to burn off some energy/grumpiness. It looks much better now.

Oh no Lara, hope your little sumo baby (

) is ok. Poor little bub

I try to remember to throw a blanket over the capsule on hot days hoping that helps (not sure it does) but I often forget...

Hi Girl

Exhausted mummy here. We had Sofia's christening today, the big fat Greek christening. Sofia was fairly good in the church, didn't cry when she was dunked, but was unsettled getting dressed and after until she was finally passed to me, (she still thinks that every time she gets her nappy changed or gets bathed that booby comes straight after, well she just didn't want to wait today). The party after was good, majority of the guests were my family, they asked me when I was having a third child because they like the Greek christenings, Maria's party was a big greek banquet, today's was in at a restuarant that used to be a Black Stump and the food was great. Now both girls are asleep and I can relax. I will try to add a couple of pictures to my gallery soon.

Trish: I must either trust Jacob to much or he is an awesome kid lol. I leave olivia with him whn he is cuddling her. he just loves her so much. he won't move if he is holding her.

How cute Tehya was trying to feed Abbey. Our little ones can be such darlings at times

xtml: ouch poor mylo. I have been there done that too. and the pinching of the skin

Simon just did that to jacob just the other day infact.. glad it wasn't to bad though. I hate how hot the seats get too. Awesome weigh gain too.. Way to go little (well not so little) man!

Alicia: Aww at the foot finding. Olivia just found hers the other day too. She was wiggling her toes and looked down stoppped wiggling them then started again and grinned. Was so cute

Louise: Glad the christening went well. Hope to see piccies soon..

Sorry to anyone that had a sleepless night but a little brag coming up here... Last night Olivia went to bed at 9pm and didn't wake until 7:30 this morning!!!!! She has now fed, vomited, been dressed and is in the bassinette playing with her toy seahorse and drifting off to sleep again

The first line cracked me up cus I had a bad night

woo hoo Go olivia. what an awesome sleep.. and brag away it gives us well at least me hope that I will one day sleep uninterrupted

Well Miss O didn't wake at 4am she woke at 2:30 but I think the most incredible thunder and ightening storm may have woken her. Boy it was immpressive. I took her back to bed at 3:30 as she was falling asleep and put her in her cradle and never heard a peep from her till 5:30. I on the other hand just couldn't sleep. Ethan was in bed with me last night as it was so hot and his room is hot anyways he started sneezing and tossing so in the end I said. Either stp sneezing or go back to your own bed

I was tired ok. He stopped sneezing though

Then jacob woke me at 6:30. When Olivia woke at 5:30 I put her in bed and boobied her while I slept. I got up with Jacob then remembered I had left Olivia on the bed awake lol (can you tell I wasn't awake properly) so I went back to get her and she had falled asleep so I thoguht I will just lay here for a couple minutes. Fast forward and hour to 7:30

and I open my eyes and Dh is in bed. Charming as I am i said WTF? You see I closed my eyes at 6:30 and Ethan wwas there and opened them at 7:30 and Dh is there

Olivia is now happily swinging away

I am in the middle of a coffee ding my moring routine. Coffee and BB

eta: Trish. I am glad Brandon is home. give him a decent serve from me *slap* silly boy!!

Hey Trish - I could have a solution re Abbey's cake, Sofia's special cake was a fake cake - iced square foam with pink frill around the edge and a little baby on a cradle on top, I did not pipe her name on it at all. If you are stuck you can have the foam cake and I can make a new topper for you (I am keeping Sofia's). That way you just need to order a simple slab cake for the party. - I have just upload a couple of pictures to see it.

So Nic, how did your night go hun ? I am hoping that Olivia slept good for you. Tehya wants to be a mummy with Abbey. It's just way too scarey for me.

Ohhh I've done the pinch thing too, hurts when you get your own fingers.

Xtml, sorry to hear about poor Mylo. I hope his burns heal quickly without too much grief. I posted in your thread about his burns that you can get covers for carseats. I thought about getting one for us too. WTG on Mylo's weight gain, what a little champ. I think Abbey weighs about 5.2kgs, well she did last time I weighed her and that was dressed so if I stripped her down she'd prob be around that.

Louise, glad to hear that the Christening went well. My turn to go through it all next weekend. And I STILL haven't ordered Abbey's cake. I better do it on Monday. Would love to see some of your pics too.

Alicia, how cute at Olivia finding her feet. Wait until she starts chewing on them

Atleast you used your grumpy mood for something productive. Mine is usually wasted on screaming and yelling.

What a night I had here. Abbey was a good girl, she was down by 8.30 and woke at 6.30 had some booby and is stil asleep.

Brandon took off to a friends lastnight that I told him he wasn't allowed to go to. We called and spoke with the kids brother and he told us that yes he was there, so DP and Joel got in the car to go get him, nope, not there, and neither are the kids that live their. Doesn't this mother know where her kids are or what they are up to either ?? So jump forward to 2.30am and we get a phone call, it's the Police and they have Brandon. What an idiot it makes me feel like to have my 13 year old found hanging aroung the local shopping centre at that time. Thankfully they brang him home and I didn't have to go get him. I made him sleep in the lounge room cos I don't want him to get decent sleep. If I have to be woken up in the middle of the night and early the next day then so can he.

He will be dealt with when he wakes up. Bloody kids AGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

Have a great Sunday girls. I am taking the girls to a birthday party at 11. Really should get my bum into the shower while Abbey is still sleeping

ETA, WTG Alicia. So glad that Olivia slept well for you. Gee our girls are good sleepers. I only pray they keep it up.
