I can't beleive its the weekend again. The weeks are flying.
Karlie -- its amazing what they find isn't it. I thought my floor was clean but Sophie manages to find any crumbs / bugs in the house.
The boys are pretty good with Sophie, some days they are all over her then others they stay clear. Nicholas my 3 year old does the I want what she is playing with and chucks a huge tantrum if he can't get it. Benjamin has been trying to push the pram while we are out, very cute but so frustrating when in a hurry.
Sophie is rolling everywhere and will push and slide backwards and in circles on the tiles and is starting to get up on all fours. I am about to get the gates back out so she can't get in the Kitchen and I have a safe place he he.
Esme-- way to go Jasper!! Its hard when they move you get so used to them being in a certain spot and then they are off. I take a big blanket outside with me and Sophie sits watching the boys on the trampoline while I hang out the washing.
Prama -- eek. Pulling himself up. I agree not ready. Great to hear you are having a lovely time with your family.
Minky-- Hi. Sophie loves her vegemite sandwiches and she also loves cheddarmite scrolls makes a lovely mess. She isn't that interested in vegies will gobble her yoghurt and fruit and she makes the best face when I try and give her my meat casserole. eeewwwww yuk. Gotta love the squealing its very cute.
Bun -- Hi. Has Catherine started crawling????? I love it when they rock its like they are revving up for a race. Hope her teeth pop out soon and she sleeps better for you.
Danda-- great to hear Zoe is loving swimming. I took the boys swimming lots when they were bubs but I've been a bit slack with DD ( well busy ). I plan on taking DD next year when Benjamin's at school and Nicholas is at KInder.
Do you pop her head under the water ????
Ash -- Hi. How are you doing?????
Hi Jen and Jacki.
Better go going out for a girls lunch today and then we have to go to Kinder and mow lawns and pull out weeds. They boys will love it they will complain when we leave as they won't want to leave the playground!!!!
Have a good weekend
Sue
Sue- Amber and Sophie are at the same point in their movement I think. We are also getting onto all 4's and going backwards and around in circles. I find if I have her on the bed she tries to push off forwards. Its good the boys are good with her.
Karlie- Hmmmm I need to buy an 11 year old girl who is quite rotund an Xmas pressie. What PP size you reckon she will be? Go Jakey the crawling machine! Amber gets quite frustrated she cant go forwards yet but I think I am happy to wait.
Esme- Awesome job Jasper on the crawling. he must be into everything. The BF and teeth still doesnt bother me but she has bitten a couple of times.... and that hurts. Amber loves her vegies. Will he eat them finger food style?
Prama- OMG on Poopy pulling himself up. Do you get sad that they are not our little babies anymore? I certainly do. Glad to hear you are having a great time with the family. When are you coming home?
Minky- How did the 8 month checkup go? I bet he is doing nicely.
Bun- Any teeth? Any action on the crawling?
Hi Jacki, Ash and everyone I forgotten.
Amber cut her second tooth on the weekend. Finally! Her sleeping has gotten a little better and she is still rocking on all 4's. We think crawling isnt too far away.
Well she is crying for attention so I better go.
esme - yaay on the crawling but yes, it's hard to leave them alone now!!
i fly back on sat, im going to miss my family but looking fwd toseeing steve and getting back into routine.
im so exhausted wi poopy pulling himself, pls tell your bubs to take their time! we're going to houseproof everthing now.. mum said he might not teach himself to sit but just start walking, and looks like 'cruising' isnt very far away..
have you tried melting lots of cheese over teh vegies?
karlie - eeek dead flies.. poopy's licking the tiles!! he sees the designs, cant pick it up, so licks it.. gawd!
sue - so nice to have big brothers who want to help!!
jj - yes it does make me sad..im not ready.. yes, i still want him to be my itty bitty baby../ it's all going too fast!!!
oooppss.. bbl poopy crying..
my friend's 2 kids got their teeth at a year old so maybe poopy will AT LEAST take his time with that!
Prama - Wish you a safe and good flight back home! Yes, can't leave him alone anymore. In the last couple of days he has gotten a lot faster. He does a combination of commando and 'normal' crawling; whatever he thinks will be the fastest way to get to whatever he wants (usually the things he's not supposed to touch, LOL)! Starting to say 'no' and take him away, but it doesn't seem to have too much of an effect at the moment... He loves his cheese, so I will try the cheese over vegies option as well as the vegies through his rice cereal. His appetite has improved a lot in the last couple of days; all that crawling makes him hungry, this might help too.
Jen - he doesn't like his vegies fingerfood style; just chucks them over the side of the highchair! It sounds like Amber will be crawling soon too; Jasper did the rocking for a bit too. And yay for the second tooth and the better sleep; hopefully you will get a little break before the next tooth! Jasper is finally teething too; he has the worst smelling green runny poos and is a little whingy, but on the other hand he seems to sleep better than he has slept in a long time! I had a feel around in his mouth and it seems to be a molar..... I can feel it sticking out to the side of his gum, it isn't through yet, but it seems to bother him a bit. He keeps jamming teething toys way back in his mouth, so that must be the culprit. He doesn't have any teeth yet, so I am wondering whether this one will break through or if it is just moving.
Sue - If I put Jasper on a blanket outside he will fill himself up with grass and leaves!! Good to have the boys entertain Sophie! It is amazing what they find on the floor, isn't it? We live in the country and there are lots of flies around in summer, will have to be a bit more dilligent in removing them straight away...
2please - What is it with curtains? Jasper is constantly playing with them too... You are right; if I wait a bit longer before feeding him, he will try two spoonfulls instead of one, but then he clamps his mouth shut and refuses everything....
We went to a free Kindermusik class yesterday. Jasper had a ball; enjoyed looking at the other kids and for the first time being able to crawl around and explore another place. But I think I will save my money for swimming lessons. The pool is open, so we should get out before it gets too hot! I might get the DVD 'Teach your baby to swim' by Laurie Lawrence. Does anyone know anything about this DVD?
Happy 9 months Jasper!!! Where does the time go?????????
WOW 9 months OMG, so close to being 12 months.. eeekkk.
HURRAY JASPER!!!
molar wow - that must hurt a lot. i havent checked inside Poopy's mouth. I'llhave to do that.
Thansk for your wishes Esme, hehe hope to have an uneventful flight!
oh and thanks for your kind words about his piccy, we were out in the back verandah and it was such a nice day, i had him in his highchair for his brekky. that's the sun on his hair.
hehe jasper's so clever choosing which is the best crawl.
ive tried saying no too, poopy thinks it's a game and gives me a big gummy smile.. sigh.. he must think his mother is a joke!
prama - hehe, DD is the same, I am always saying no and she just looks at me and laughs! Cheeky little devils! I am so impressed that Poopy is pulling himself onto furniture already - before you know it he is going to be EVERYWHERE!!
jen - yay on the second tooth! I was so excited when I thought that Catherine had finally cut a tooth this morning - hopefully soon! Sounds like she will be crawling any day too.
Catherine is soooo close to crawling - she gets up on all fours all the time and moves her legs forward, but she just can't seem to move her arms at the same time! I reckon she will get it any day now. She can move backwards though. I thought she had finally cut a tooth this morning - I could see it and it was really sharp but now it seems to have disappeared! We had a shocking night last night, she was up every 2 hours but bongella and teething tablets seem to be working. And she is 9 months today!!
We finally have our dates for the move - DH leaves on 1 Dec, comes back on the 20th for Christmas and then we all fly over on the 27th or 28th. Now there is soo much to organise!! It is doing my head in just thinking about it.
got back yesterday, am missing everyone back in m'sia but good to be back w steve too.
quick one to let you all know, we just went to woolies and we got a fisher price poptivity table for $30. there's heaps of toys there, cheap. lakshman's pulling himself on everything so the poptivity table is great for him.
esme - i only wish poopy'd sleep thru. jasper's a champ!
karlie - what;s the harness like? is it like a baby bjorn?
