Thanks for the cupcake idea, girls. I reckon I might do that. Have had so many cake ideas, can't make up my mind. But the latest idea is individual cupcakes with a little plastic toy and some colourful icing or sprinkles and arrange them in the shape of a one. On the other hand, Jasper does love horses, so I can make one big cake with green sprinkles as grass and put plastic horses on it and steal Prama's idea for the fence (sorry, Prama)... hmmmm... better make my mind up soon though. The problem is I have to go to town to see what is available toy wise as we live in a small town, so there won't be too much choice. But the weather is way too hot to go out... Hopefully it will cool down before the party as we were planning on having it outside (house too small) in the arvo. Might have to think about a plan B...
Sorry girls, selfish post. Decided to do some housework today, so time on BB is limited . Hope to be back soon! Wish everyone a good day!!
esme - i got the plastic toys from go lo.. hehe no problem you can use the idea!! haha. i got the choccy twigs from Adli. dunno if you've got one near you
Okay ladies, I am back. Internet on and everything.
Wow can't believe our babies are almost one. It just seems like yesterday when we were all geared up to give birth!
Wow at Lakshman walking Prama, won't be long at all! That said, Alex is so gung-ho with just constantly step step step that he hasn't figure out much balance yet. One of these days he will just stand up and go for it. He already climbs over everything, eats everything, breaks everything, what will walking hurt?
Okay, so little ones birthdays!
Would anyone like to do a birthday card exchange? I would have organised it sooner but as you know i have been without the internet. If you're interested just pm me bubs name and address, dob by say sat evening??? and then i will pm all the want to participate with relevant babies details.
Anyway, if noone else wants to do it, i want to send to everyone anyway so please pm me regardless?
Ummmm..... welcomee bronzedbebe and kato - I am Ashlea, mum to Alex and fiance to Anthony. I am a 'young' mum, pregnant at 19, birthed at 20 & am now 21. Have just moved to country NSW from 'rural' victoria, but was only 40mins out of melbourne and lived there for three years prior.
I just got accepted to do B.Midwifery at Monash, having moved the day before offers came out, bit shattered but oh well. Umm, not much else to know about me except that I have PND and tend to disappear frequently. I don't intend to now that my life has stablized however don't be surprised!!
Prama - I think you asked about the teethbrushing with regards to breastfeeding? It's no necessary. Assuming that attachment is correct the nipple and the direction of milk slides straight down the palate so it isn't actually in babies mouth. Think there is an article on the ABA website.
WRT weaning, good luck to everyone. Weaning was harder for me than for Alex as he had already been on a bottle and then soon enough he was too lazy to suck for breastmilk so when he started biting as refusal i was shattered. We are now on full cows milk, and occasional formula feed for breakfast if I can't be bothered making porridge and give him toast instead. He has taken to it really well and no digestion problems. He is a real piggy too, little monkey!!
Hi Ash, we are in Leeton, about 150 kms West of Wagga Wagga and probably about 3 ? hours drive from Yass! Let me know if you are coming this way; would love to catch up. Will do the same if we are coming your way if you would like that. At the moment the longest trip we have undertaken with Jasper is just 1.5 hours as he doesn't like being in the car for too long. LOL on Alex being a little piggy; Jasper all of a sudden loves his food and can't get enough; he looks like a little bird sitting there with his mouth wide open waiting for another bite if mummy is too slow.
Congrats on being accepted at Monash to study Midwifery!!!! Any chance of doing it by correspondence or was that your plan anyway?
I cant help to feel depressed about the 4 year old girl thrown over the westgate bridge today. Having a 4 year old daughter of my own made me wonder how could her mother cope with loosing her. The poor little thing. I have always had trust issues with who looks after my kids, but how can you avoid your own kids getting hurt when their own father does that.
I have 4 kids party books, and I did a really great cake for Tara's 1st birthday, now Im past it and would rather pay someone else.
Bun, I dont blame you. I would go nuts stuck inside with bubs all the time. Its really hard to get them to sleep when there are kids everywhere. I find Jake always sleeps in the car on the way home.
Cookie, That card thing sounds good. I love the fact we can get super cheap cards now. I buy $2 ones from the local post office.
Esme, I recon Im going for the cupcake thing too. DD loves making cup cakes. I hope she doesnt try to make Jakes cup cakes pink.
Man it's hot. 43 Deg today. Lets hope thing's get cooler tomorrow.
thanks ash, karlie. no copyrights esme haha
