Sonya- The cake is awesome! You did such a great job. Your family looks so happy. I also love Adam's tattoo on his back. If I ever get another one, thats what I would get. Zane is such a cute little man too.
thanks everyone for your wonderful words and support. i love you all too. that guy was a w@nker... sigh....
work are going to start a fund for the fires and the floods..
sonya - omg!! do you think you could post me a piece of zane's cake??!! it looks so so yummo!!!!!
glad his needles went well. he probably doesnt trust nurses anymore!
We loved the cake too, I thought it turned out really well, the older kids loved it!!
Some cards arrived today..Thank You - Jake & Tara (Karlie of course),Lakshman & Prama, Amber & Jen, They were all very cute, will have to start putting them in his album.
Cookie glad to see your back, thanks for the comments on FB, I think we are a gr8 lill family too, you also have 2 great boys by the looks of it. You are no useless, we are all thinking of the people affected, some people help with money other with kind words and thoughts, Hun it helps in times like this.
Thanks for adding me girls, it's cool to put a face to all the posts.
Kato, Zane is grizzly too he has his 2 bottom ones coming through the poor bubba, the lumps are huge, I hope they are through soon for us both, I know how you feel about feeling bad about not knowing what's going on, but we are all doing the best we can!! And I perosnally think we are all doing pretty damn good!! We had to get our dog put down 7 months ago but couldn't bear to get rid of his "house"(Zeus he was my other baby) Adam & i were talking about it the other day about cutting the front out of his old kennell for Zane would make an awesome cubby for when he's a bit bigger (just reading that it sounds a bit dodgy doesn't it!!) But it really does look like a little house.
Thats awesome that your work is going to do that Prama for the fire/flood victims and also the boys giving away their toys, I have just been watching the news and have had to turn it off, I was sitting there with tears dropping off my chin, It's just so horrible, the whole thing is just devastating, and the poor little boy taken by a crocodile in Nrth QLD floods and the 5 that lost their lives, makes me feel really sad.
Bun Zane does exactly the same thing as Catherine, he is so naughty and I have food all over the place too, My mum was mortified when she was here, ahahahah oh well!!
Jen, what tat do you have, I've always been to scared..I hate needles, Ad got that one about a year ago now, very patriotic of him, All of the guys in the Army seem to have something like that, Im sure he will no doubt get more, he loves it.
Esme how did the lentils go? Does Jasper like them? Zane is pretty good with food but I can't for the life of me get him to eat fruit, Fruit flavor fine like banana custard, or apple & raspberry yoghurt but not proper fruit, soo annoying. The faces are hilarias (sp)though.
BBL need to have a shower, I have pumpkin and other vegies in my hair. Lovely I know!
LOL Sonya, ahh, I avoid getting on me, but my house is always covered!
I have considered getting a playpen just for him to eat in,
With fruit - how do you give it to him, diced up pieces?
Alex is great with fruit and veges (so not his father's child, ), he also loves yoghurt, sandwiches and cheese. The only thing he doesn't seem too fussed about is his meat! I think he gets frustrated with having to chew it for so long. Not sure...
Finally found a straw cup that Alex will drink out of, wooohooo.
How many bottles / breastfeeds is everyone still having... and bottlefeeds, how much?
I have first time mum paranoia and am worried i am not doing things right.
Alright, DS is attacking me and blowing raspberries on my boobs, and it's way after his bedtime.
Have a good night everyone!
Thanks Jen for Jakes card. Poor jake seem to get the raw end of the deal sometimes. MIL gave jake a freddo for his birthday present. She off to Queensland for a holiday with her girlfriend, so she can afford something. Steve said "Just get him something small" , but thats just being silly. Steve's dad forgot about him too. My kids are the only kids on both sides of our family, so I dont know why Steve's family are sooo slack. (Sorry I just needed to vent.)
Cookiemonster, The best cup i have found is the playtex insulator cup. Jon and Kate plus 8 (The tv show with 6 kids) use them too.
Esme. How did those vegies go? I hate the smoke smell, you tend to get use to it after a while. Smoked vegies.lol
Sonya, Jakes been a bit against sleep today. I wonder if he's getting teeth too. How long did it take to make that bithday cake? Yikes!
Prama, your hubby is well contained with his emotion's. I would be worried the whole time DH would of snot him one. I hope they shoved that 2 extra coke bottles up his @##.LOL.
Jen, Did Carly post on here????? Jakes naughty too. He rips the dvd playes out of their cabnets, so DH had to sticky velcro them down.
Sorry if I missed anyone, but the air con guy is turning up soon. I really didnt want him to see me in my PJS.
Karlie OMG, our MIL's can never meet they would get along so well and probably conspire against us!! LOL!! That is soooo something she would do!! She gave us nothing when he was born, not even a card, It's frustrating isn't it, I guess I struggle with it because DH's Dad is the same (they are seperated) Zane got nothing this birthday not even a phonecall. Where my parents spoil him rotten. Z is the only grandchild on both sides too so you would think they would be utterly adored...?? Do you normally get along with Steve's parents? The cake didn't take too long, I did the cake on Fri and froze it and then decorated it sat morning B4 the party. I had all the deco's before hand though it was just a matter of putting them on.
Sorry Prama we were piggies and ate most of it then I did "take home plates" sorry!! We get posted around every two years and I think Sydney is on the cards for next year, so if that is true you guys can just just come to Zane's next party and eat all the cake you like!!
Cookie, Zane is down to 2 BF a day one in the morning when he wakes up and one B4 bed (both sides) I was going to keep going but I need to wean him so I can go back on the combined pill having all sorts of drama's with the mini (a whole new post) so hopefully within 3 weeks he will not be BF'ing anymore. I have just replaced the BF midday with some milk in a sippy cup if he wants it, sometimes he doesn't My GP said yesterday that because milk is only a part of his diet now I didn't need to do formula or bottles so I won't worry with that. The cups we use are Nuby they have a little straw out the top and handles on both sides, He does have some other which he uses but they seem to be his faves.I have tried giving Z fruit all sorts of ways fresh, stewed, mashed, canned, in one of those suckyoutythings all to no avail. I will keep trying maybe the fruit fairies will come and one day he will wake up loving fruit!! Cheers to that!
Hows the smoke down in VIC today? I haven't turned the TV on yet today, almost scared to because it's sooo upsetting. Hoping nothing has changed and you are
all still safe. My fingers are crossed!!
Jen I had a look through some of your pics last night on FB, Amber is such a happy baby, You guys are such a cute little family, really gorgeous!!
Kato how are the molars coming along?? I wish Z would cut them poor bubba.
Needing a cup of liquid sanity (coffee) so will BBL.
O I made it through the night without hearing every noise so I'm getting used to being alone again, I used to do it for months at a time when DH was oversea's but ever since Z came along it's just so much harder. 10 sleeps to go!! Yay!!
Just having a cup a liquid sanity too, Sonya... Need it in the morning; LOL, I can't wait for Jasper to go down for his morning sleep, because it means coffee and BB!
Cookie - we are on three BF per day; morning, after lunch and before bed. I kind of want to cut down, but don't have the heart... He just loves it too much, so we just keep going for a bit longer. If Alex loves his fruit, vegies and milk/dairy, I don't think you have to worry about his milk/formula intake as he will get enough of everything through his food. I have seen some similar questions in the bf/solids general discussion with some very good answers, maybe have a read back through them? Jasper doesn't eat much meat either, I just try to give him egg, dairy or tuna everyday with lunch to get some protein into him.
Sonya - I hear you on hearing every noise during the night for the first couple of nights when DH isn't home. I do the same. Just when you are used to being by yourself and start to sleep well again they get home... DP came home yesterday; so I am back to sleeping well. Only ten days (nine nights?) to go...
Karlie - So sad that MIL can't even be bothered to buy him a decent present... I just can't believe people can be like that. I am very lucky; my PIL are worth their weight in gold; they are there when you need them and even though DS is grandchild no. 7 he still gets spoiled rotten.
Prama - How's Poopy? Did he sleep a bit last night? Jasper might be getting teeth too, as his hands have not been out of his mouth the last couple of days and he is having nappy rash again. I have managed to get some Hylands tablets, so we are all ready for the big event!
It sounds like I am missing out on a lot of pictures as I am not on FB... does anyone know if I can have a look at your profiles without having one myself? I am afraid I might get addicted to yet another internet site, so have tried to stay away so far... BB is taking up all my internet time!
LOL, the mutts loved the lentils! I have never had them myself, but since they are high on protein, I thought I might give them a go. I have to say I didn't like them too much.... Have put a couple of spoonfulls through his vegie mix, but gave the rest to the dogs who liked it very much.
Sonya- We are the same with you on feeds. Amber is still BF and we do one in the morning when she wakes and one just before bed. She also has cows milk in her weetbix and yoghurt. I offer her milk in her sippy cup at lunch as well. My tat is on my right hip. Its a half moon type thing that sounds lame when I try to explain. But it does look better in real life! Thanks for your kind words.
KArlie- Nah I havent heard from Carley for a long time. Hmmmm was it a giant freddo at least? You'd think being the only grandkids, they would get doted on?
Ash, your doing fine! But I understand the paranoia. I wonder if I am doing the right things all the time.
ok so I just put a cranky girl to bed. Lets see if she will sleep.
