[Early Kids]

Hello everyone

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've beenr eally busy with brendan.... who is now WALKING!! OMG I was so excited, he did it in front of the CHN on Friday the 23rd May. He walked about 6 steps across the room and hasn't looked back since. he is into EVERYTHING! He's also starting to chuck tantrums and becoming fussy... which doesn't help because he is still on puree and doesn't like the spoon. aaargh. They aren't going to fix his tongue-tie. the developmental paed seem to think that it's not going to affect his speech and that if he still has it when he's 2 then they might look at snipping it. He has to see an Occupational therapist, a speech therapist and also a dietician. Which i'm ok with.... they are free and about a 10 min walk from my place... so thats cool. I hate having to drive to Perth for appointments. He'll have to see the eye doctor in about 2 months time which is in the childrens hospy... which is terrible for parking! He's not saying any words yet... still babbling dadada and hasn't said mumum, nanana and bubub since he first said them about 2 months ago. We expected speech delays anyway... so thats ok. at the last CHN check(23/05) he weighed 9680kg and is 75.5cms tall. so doing quite well on the charts. He still has to see the CHN monthly, which is ok too, cos she is really nice and makes me feel good about what i'm doing!

As for TTC... no not yet. With everything that has happened i'm quite happy to wait a lil longer, i've been told the longer i wait after my mc the better chance i have of making it to term. And i have years ahead of me anyway Good luck to everyone who is TTC. *sending baby dust*

Tashie, sorry to hear DH isn't coming home yet

Oh and we have another house now so will be getting the net back as we dont have to pay any rent... it's through DP's work. YAY! can't wait!

Hi Everybody,

BBL for personals, I"m thinking of you heaps, Just cooking dinner atm & just wanted to let you all know that I have been HAVING SEX! LOL. I love it! PMSL.

Love Jayne xox

Lucky you Jayne! Good on you!

Miss you Sally. I can't believe Brendan is walking! Flutterby better bloody get a move on! I kept forgetting to mention her other word: uh-oh. I say it a lot when things get knocked over or anything really. So she sits there playing with her toys saying uh-oh over and over. Of course she's happier if mummy says it too.

She was a little brat today. She whacked my cereal out of my hand because I wasn't feeding her exclusively. And she spent half the day crying at me coz she wasn't getting her own way. Sometimes housework needs to be done. And sometimes mummy needs to get away from screaming toddlers. She calmed down after a little while but her screaming was on and off all day. Yay

[Lisa]

Hahaha Jayne!!! I love it!!! What a crack up!
Well hun, I hope you keep enjoying having DH home

[KymH]

PMSL at you Jayne Good on you, love!

Tash, I am soooo sorry to hear your news today, big hugs from me too

And Lisa, Monkey and Harrison must be making sure they keep up with each other, via the baby-ether-net.... Monkey now has 3 teeth too! She got her 3rd pop through last Mon/Tues. she is getting them all in a funny order, apparently that can happen when they get teeth late... She has bottom L, top R side (next to middle), top L middle.

holy dooooly you go to work for ONE day and SO SO SO much happens

jayney i figured you being offline meant you were getting lucky... hehehehehehe makes me think i should take advantage of the fact benji is always horny.....

tashie - 1 1/2 extra months is NOT fair...... where is DH exactly?? is he in the army? why is he away? you could look on the positive and know you have extra time to lose that 15kg?? Does Tobi look for daddy??

yeah monkey and her toothy peg!!!

me - first day of week of work - yep gonna pull off 38hours this week!! AND i joined tupperware.... will work out a way to sell to you guys yet.... SO nervous about breaking the news to some of my friends coz they are almost turned off it coz of a friend of mine that sells tupperware and enjo and and and and and and and eeverything... you know the type but once i get started and get away from immediate family and circle of friends it should just snowball and be fun getting out there and meeting total random people etc
lisa - do you want to have a catalouge party?? where you dont actually have to have people aroud you just give ur mates the catalouges and they buy from that and you get freebies like u r having a party!! (delivery is the only thing i gotta think on... coz the freebie for the host this month is an awesome set of containers you put in the freezer i think 14 of them i personally use the only one of them i have so far as a on the bench sultana storer.....) (i am thinking about this.... the containers will fit in eachother so most likely would not cost THAT much to post... hmmmmmm or i could MAYBE get them delivererd direct from the warehouse... hmmm)

working reception today was funny, like riding a bike..... and STILL have not heard if i got the 3 day a week assistant job yet... feel SO bad i have not told them that i wont be taking the job and now that it is SO close i just want to know if i would have got it....should i make their decision for them and tell them i dont want job??

picked jemima up from daycare and they had tied her hair up! is that a hint..!!

[Tashie]

Kel - Yeah that is definitely a hint. Might have to get some cute hair bands.
- DH is in the Army and is in Afghanistan. Yeah I have the extra time now to lose the weight, I just have to push through the comfort eating thinking that I have now and keep motivated. I have decided that if DH is going to be away for over 6 months now that I can't hold Tobi back any longer and is in training to be an ultra cleaver bub when his Daddy gets home and gets to show up all his tricks. Tobi does ask for Daddy and associates the phone with him and sometimes will grab the phone off me and chat to him. I have photos up and I point Daddy out in them so he remembers his face too. But I think 6 months is too long and Tobi will have forgotten him by then, which makes me sad.

Jayne - I am pretending to be happy for you, but I am secretly jealous. No its all good. You deserve it, make sure its worth while!! Alan has six weeks to make up for.

Peg - No TTC for me in October now. I had started to take my pregnancy vitamins, but no point now till it gets a little closer. I would like to be pregnant by the end of the year if we can manage it.

I have decided that if Tobi wants to come into my bed during the night then I am going to let him. Who knows, with DH being away he might need the extra love and attention (so do I) and who am I to deny him of that. Plus he is still sick and that might be causing him to wake up too. Trouble is the last few nights he hasn't been going straight back to sleep. Going to one sleep during the day has screwed up his system a little and he takes ages to get back to sleep during the night now.

Sally - That is fantastic that Brendan is walking. It doesn't sound like he is behind at all. And I am glad to hear you get to live rent free and can get the internet again soon. We miss you.

I am taking Tobi to get a hair cut today. Wish us luck.
Love to all the other girls and bubs and thanks for all your hugs

TASH _ I'll be honest & I think you're right in saying that Tobi will remember who Daddy is. I'm sure he will remember the pics & know to look at his pic & say Daddy, but he'll forget the concept of what Daddy stands for. I know Claudia does. I swear she thinks somtimes mummy has a boyfriend & then other times she doesn't! LOL. She says 'Dada' all the time & points to his pictures, but **** she is on a major I HATE DADDY CAMPAIGN! She won't even LOOK in his direction, let alone listen to what he is telling her & if he touches her she either throws herself on the floor in a hissy fit or she just very calmly pics up his hand, removes it from her & continues on whatever she was doing. It's hilarious, but Alan is getting really upset with it. Claudia is a major snob though, she's not just like that to Alan, there are loads of people. It's quite funny to watch, especially the way she actually looks down her nose at people. But anyway, when DH comes back, Tobi will soon warm back up to him again & he will love having another 'man' in the house to bond with. Bugger for you that he's goign to be away for so long, I'll never complain about Alan being away for 6 weeks again!

KEL _ I have heard of my gf's kids coming back from daycare with their hair in piggy tails & stuff, I think the kids love having it done. Claudy loves having hers done. She goes & helps herself to Jess' headbands & wears like 6 at a time, it's cute as. She also brings me hair clips & says 'do dis' telling me to put it in her hair for her. SO are you the fruit picker or the pen pusher? What job did you take? I can't WAIT for you to come over!! I have portacot, car seat & a pram here for you to use, so you don't have to bring any of that, just a suitcase full of my tupperware that I order! PMSL.

KYM _ OMG Monkey only has 3 teeth? That's too cute for words! Claudia has 11 but she looks like she only has 8 because she has cross cut all of the back ones. how is she going? Haven't heard from you in ages you busy girl!

LISA _ How are you wonder woman? I'm meant to be going to my Cohens seminar tomorrow, but Claudia has an ear infection so I don't think I can go. She is sooooooo ultra clingy, I can't even go to the loo without her bursting into tears.

PEG _ So glad I'm not the only one who has a Hissy Missy! I get the tanties & the throwing of things all the time & I agree with you, sometimes Mummy has her own jobs to do around the house!

ME _ Well just got back from the Dr with Claudy. She is running major fevers again, getting up to 36.5 & soooooo clingy, it's really horrible. last night I was up with her from 1145 til 3am & then I put her into our bed & she woke every half an hour. She has an ear infection. So I'm hoping like mad it's not going to be a repeat of last years 7 ear infections in 5months. Apart from that, we are good over here, got Alan working like a dog in the house LOL & Jess is his little shadow, which he is loving. Talk soon!
