Hi! Nice to meet late December 2010 people! (Hope no-one minds that I'm actually a November 2010 person who stayed with her Belly Buddies group!!)
Millie said "Please" (actually more "pease") today - I melted She wanted more apple! She's had a terrible case of the runs since Friday afternoon - she's still eating a bit and drinking enough, but sheesh, poor kid. She will say "bum" or "poo" when she needs to be changed, not like we can't smell it anyway
PP - Millie is so clever!! Please is so sweet!! Such beautiful manners
MadB - Hows the gorgeous little Miri doing?
Audax - Hahaha, well then, may I wish you good luck in the upcoming election Yay for Mama!! Well worth the wait I'm sure
Things have been hectic around here, Jacob has been cutting eye teeth and molars (I have no idea how many teeth he has now, I have lost count!) and then he got sick. I had the ambulance here twice in a matter of a week... if I didn't live so far away from the hospital I would have just taken him to emergency but DH was at work so I had the ambo come here and examine him. He seems to be somewhat better now thankfully! He's hilarious, he LOVES the wiggles, he actually brings me the tv remote and says "wiggle wiggle wiggle".....something tells me we do too much driving (every time we go on a trip he has the wiggles on his dvd player). It's very cute though, I'm so addicted to his little voice It's taught him a lot of dance moves, including how to spin around, the 'emu' and the moves to 'one finger one thumb' Oh and he also loves to draw now! How clever are our little babies
Miri loves drawing... usually on herself. And dancing. On her knees, as she still can't walk, though. She's talking lots too. It's amazing - very different to DS.
Audax - now all you'll hear is maaaaaaaam. MAAAAAAAAM. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM.
Thanks for the concern girls, we are both ok, just really tired. Sleep has never been great but it hasn't been at its version of best in a while. He was running temps of 39.2. Threw up a few times, had a cough etc. had his antibiotics and then the repeat and still wasn't better.. He a lot healthier now, just a runny nose. Wakes up crying still but I think that's teeth again...
MadB - how cute are dancing babies to drawing on herself... She's the artist AND the model that's great she's talking so much! Most girls this age I know are real little chatterboxes!! Very cute.
Audax - to your little shopper!! I bet the other shoppers LOVED it! Haha. She's such a character
Hey Other-December-People (even tho no-one 'new' has popped in yet)
Gah, never moving again. I'm over it and I'm finding more and more boxes!! I've lost alot of things, hoping they are just buried under other boxes.
Hannah's room is all done, so that's a miracle.
She's been really hard lately. Eye tooth, molar, and a bottom pointy tooth. So many teeth.
No new words lately, just alot of talking on the phone "Yeah.... Yeah.... Who is it? Yeah... Oh yeah, baby"... No idea who she is talking to, but it's hilarious. If she can't find her phone she'll just use her hand.
I only ever get 'mum' if she smells. So sad. She'll just start yelling "Mum mum mum mum'. "Do you stink Hannah?" "Yeah. Sing-sy" (stinky)
Thinking of which, she's sitting on her couch saying "sing-sy'' now. Dammit.
Jules, way better to be safe than sorry as far as ambos go. Glad to hear from you!
Cathie, hi
Audax, how'd you go in the election?
All good here, knock on wood but Millie has been really well since that gastro a couple of weeks ago, not a sniffle in sight (knocking on wood so hard right now) and she seems to be coping with the change in the weather really well, lung-wise. I'm giving her a couple more weeks on 2 puffs of flixotide a day, then I'll drop the morning dose and see how she goes. She's pretty good about taking it, although the assortment of stuffed animals sometimes have to have it too... then they all have to have a drink of water before she does as well...
Words are just tumbling out of her now, bubbles, plane, moon, star etc. She says please without being prompted sometimes, and is stringing things together, like "up please" and "Mummy finished".
PP: Sounds like Millie's words are awesome!! Trying to get Hannah to say 'please' but it just doesn't happen. She'd rather just groan.
Hannah came into the lounge last night and flopped on her little couch and sighed. DH and I were discussing that it was bedtime for her and when she just sat on her couch I asked her "Are you tired, Hannah?" And got told "Yes." "Would you like to go nigh-nighs?" "Yes" and she stood up and followed me into the bedroom.
It was so clever, but then I felt so guilty. How long had she been wanting to go to bed??
She only slept til 1am and then was wide awake til 2.30. Not fun.
Her new thing when someone, or her, sneezes she says "At-tyoo". It's very cute.
Pp, I hear you with the asthma. Dh and I both have asthma, but dhs is much worse than mine, so he reckons pip doesn't have it. But pip has my asthma, which is brought on by exercise and cold air, and is mostly coughing.
Quoll is also teething, not sure which teeth, other than eye tooth, but he's got bloody drool again. Poor little mite, its only at night so I can't see anything until after I settle him and get back into my room & look on the mirror to see my shoulder.
Cathie: Thinking of you, can't wait to hear your news!! Stalking FB!
Crumpet: Nice to see you in here again Hope you all get a break and Summah is on the improve soon. It's so hard when they're sick.
Kaz: lovely to see you too! Sounds like you have an energetic little man on your hands, I know the feeling very well!! Ah, the climbing!!! Hope you're well.
Audax: That's lovely news that you possibly have another girl on board! Nellie is going to be a great big sister! Hope you're feeling well, I can't believe you're halfway already! Time just flies..
PP: sorry to hear about the news of GD, looks like the sugary treats are on hold for now Hope you can manage it without too much fuss. I hope Millie isn't having too many issues with her asthma, poor little thing. Sounds like you're handling it well. I can understand how your DH is finding it difficult, my DH is the same when Jacob is being a little on the difficult side. They just don't seem to have the patience that we do and I find it frustrating as we deal with it a lot more than they do! That's men though.. at least they try
MadB: Hows Miri going? Enjoying her new found freedom I'm sure! Hope you're doing well too
EJ: Lovely to see you in here!! I haven't e mailed you back yet, I'm hopeless as per usual! Hope you're all doing well at your place!
Charlotte: Hope little Miss Hannah is doing well, I'm so happy her appointment went well, she's such a little miracle.
AFM: well, for those of you that haven't read my other thread... I am 6 weeks pregnant - keeping it very hush but needed some help on here so thought I'd better share it with my favourite special ladies too. I'm due around 12th February. Fingers crossed everything goes ok. It was a TOTAL surprise, we weren't planning on trying till the end of the year so it was a few months earlier than expected but a total blessing and we are so excited. Jacob is doing really well, such a busy little man. He makes me smile and laugh every day and I am so proud of the little person he's become
Hope I haven't missed anyone, I'm trying to rush, my little monkey is climbing EVERYTHING in sight.
Take care everyone!! xox

HOOOOORAAAAAAAY Jules! Another lady in the pudding club!!! Congrats to you
Ah, Kaz, sorry you have an asthmatic household too. Did yours get worse during pregnancy too?
It has been an interesting week here. Monday, Millie woke up with the worst asthma symptoms I have seen in her so far. She was working so hard to breathe and was completely exhausted. I took her to the Children's hospital ED (we only live about 10 mins drive away) and on the way she kept falling asleep, and because of the shade on her window she looked a little blue, so I kept reaching back and rubbing her little foot to make sure she was still breathing. She was triaged quickly and we got taken through to the asthma bay. We were there for 6 hours for observation and treatment - a dose of prednisone and lots of ventolin. Usually trying to keep her still for 6 seconds is a challenge - she spent the entire time cuddled up to me. Poor little mite. Tuesday she stayed home with DH, Wednesday she was okay at daycare, but Thursday I got a call half way through the day - a new kid got upset at nap time, which set Millie off - she started crying and then started coughing and it snowballed. They got some ventolin into her so she was not too bad by the time I picked her up, just exhausted all over again. Friday we spent the entire day inside, so I thought she'd be okay yesterday - we went out in the sun for five minutes and the excitement of being outside and chasing bubbles set her off again. so, another quiet day today.
She's spinning us out with her words... She was looking for a toy and I said, "It's in the kitchen." She said, "I'll get it!" and off she toddled! She likes to sit on her fold out lounge with a cushion behind her and a blanket on her lap (little nanna!) and will ask for both. I love that she can articulate what she needs or wants. I got up to her the other night and she asked for a drink. It hit me that I'm about to go back to the newborn "Oh my gosh why are you crying???!!!" phase!
First of all congrates Jules, how exciting whoo hoooo........
