Hi Shoegal, great to hear from you! I can hardly believe Baxter is 10 months either, when did that happen?? I hope you guys are going well.
prama - ouchies on the eye! DD has come close to doing that to me a few times - they can be so rough sometimes! DD's latest trick is to suddenly arch herself backwards when she is having a tantie and I swear she has nearly broken my nose a few times. You wouldn't believe the injuries babies can inflict until you have one hey! Lakshman will be fine at day care I'm sure, but it must be soo hard to leave him. I am going to have to go through that soon myself once I start looking for some PT work. I have decided to join the gym and start putting DD in creche while I'm there which will hopefully ease me into going back to work and having to put her into daycare too. I am such a wuss I bet I will cry more than DD when she starts daycare!
Bronzbebe - DD has also had a few major ouchies. She has split her top lip twice by climbing up on things and then suddenly throwing herself down and knocking her chin on the way down and her bottom teeth have gone through the top lip (usually on a coffee table, but thankfully she has learnt and is much more careful now!). I guess there is little we can do as this is how they learn, but it makes you feel terrible when they hurt themselves! Oh, and yes, we had a christening for DD when she was 3 months old.
kato - I am getting so paranoid about the oven now that DD likes to pull herself up on it; she came sooo close to burning herself on it last night and they are so quick!
jen - I love the womens weekly cake ideas! I have decided to do the ladybird as the main cake, but will also do some little animal cupcakes too. I can't wait, it will be heaps of fun!!
esme - we went really well at playgroup. I managed to get DD to sleep in by feeding her when she woke up and keeping real quiet and then I popped her back into bed which worked for another hour, so then she was happy to stay up for longer and she had a great time playing with the other kids. It was good for me to meet some people too. We are going again tomorrow. We also did a swimming class today which was fun. I hear you on the heat - it was horrible here for a few days. Thankfully DD doesn't seem too bothered by it though. Wow, only 2 days til Jasper's birthday and 3 days til Catherine's!
We have gotten Catherine a fisher price swing for her birthday. It doesn't really feel like a lot but she has sooo many toys already and I am always buying her new things anyway. I think I may get her a special book too.
and a big hey to shoegal - can't believe your littly is called baxter as well - we haven't come across any either (and its such a great name isn't it!) - wow! where abouts in perth are you..north or south..?
baxters fingers seem to be fine after the burn, phew! no blisters, and the ones on his feet seemed to have died down so...anyone elses littlies driving you nuts with reading..?? thats sounds horrible, but i swear i spent the majority of yesterday reading every board book DS owns at least 4-5 times EACH - so cute but OMG!
Hi Bun! I take it that you have left Perth? Good luck in your new home.
Hi Kato - I actually live a couple of hours out of Perth but had Baxter at Attadale.
Sorry to hijack your thread girls. Kato, get your post count up so we can PM! A work colleague of my DH's has a Baxter and my sister's friend has a Baxter too, that's where I found the name.
Prama -- hope your eye is better!
Bun -- woohoo on getting to playgroup.
Bronzdbebe -- yes glad Zane is OK. I think we are all the same when they stack, when they get older the screams just get louder lol
Esme -- have you tackled playgroup yet?
Cookie -- i read you other post and you certainly made me realise how narrow minded I am. Thanks. Sorry I can't remember when Alex's b'day is
Well Benjamin starts school on Thursday and Nicholas starts 3 yr old kinder on Wednesday so it is a big week for us! DH has two weeks off but has hurt his knee so has just been on the couch today We might not get as much done before DD's b'day as i thought we would.
We are having a party on the 15th probably have a little splash pool if its hot for the kids (around 20 i think -- i am insane i know ) filled from the tank. We have decided to make a princess castle cake as DD got a little people one for Christmas and loves it too bits. DD is standing but not really taking any steps which is good for now!
OK hope you are all well if any of the b'days are wrong pls let me know
I am officially the mummy of a TODDLER ... Still can't believe it, where has the time gone? I am actually a bit emotional at the moment...
Just a little time to reflect on the year gone by. Last year at this time we were in the hospital having just met our little man for the first time. Amazed by how beautiful and perfect he was. Wondering how we would cope being parents.12 Months seemed like such a long time away, especially in the difficult first few weeks. But now it is official; our baby is 1 year old!
We could not have done this without the support all the girls here in the Feb 08 thread. Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences! I hope we can keep sharing our journeys with our little ones.
Have a good day everyone!!
Esther

Happy birthday Jasper!! Esme, I hope your gorgeous little boy has a lovely first birthday.
I still can't believe that tomorrow my little girl will be 1 too!
Ash - thank so much for your birthday message for the bubs, what a lovely thing to do. And I am so impressed that you managed to remember the birthdays!
shoegal - yes, we moved to country Vic about a month ago but we will already be back visiting Perth in a couple of weeks!
Must go, we are off to Melbourne for a couple of days tomorrow and then my parents are coming to stay for a few days so have lots of cleaning/packing to do. Happy birthday to any of the bubs I may miss if I am not online again in the next few days. Thinking of you all,
OMG, my computer crashed while posting my personals. Awww, gee thats annoying. Hmmm, I did say hi to everyone.
I just got back from holidays, and posted all my photo's on facebook. Jake couldnt help to keep putting thing in his mouth, and poor Tara got her finger bitten off trying to get a pebble out. Poor little thing had a huge divit in her finger for ages.
As for us; we had a lovely birthday yesterday. Grandparents, uncle, auntie and cousins came over yesterday afternoon; Jasper got spoilt with a fp animal train which he just loves. He also can't get enough of his Thomas ride on and is proud as punch pushing it around. I made a round double layered choccy cake that worked out really well. Decorated it with icing, sprinkles and farm animals made of sugar. I found some natural coloured sprinkles, so 3 yo nephew could have some too; was all worth it as he said it was the best cake he never tasted!!! Soo cute, he was so excited to be allowed to have sprinkles on his cake, he never had them before.
) - wow! where abouts in perth are you..north or south..?
