We just had a lovely play date at the library. Went really well, apart from the fact that Jasper is not shy at all around other people and just barges over and through anything and everything to get what he wants... Just makes me wonder how other bubs are around other people/bubs?
One of the reasons why I haven't taken him to playgroup is because I thought he might be intimidated by the older kids, but now I am pretty sure he will be ok, so might take him soon .

Jen. NO it was just a crappy small frog. I think DH will not allo MIL to just get him that after getting Tara a gold necklace.
Jake wouldnt eat lunch either, he only like's milk at the moment.
Kato, Im sure we got you a card. DH mentioned his name when addressing the card. I think it takes 4 days to get there.
Prama, Has Poppy been eating much solids? Jake eats sooo slowly it drives me nutz.
Esme, Jake gets spoilt by my families presents. My sisters bought him an engraved silver car with the number plate saying Jake. It was so cool. Mum & dad bought him a Little People garage and carwash.
Sonya, Moody MIL Ahhh, 1 week she's super friendly and thoughtful, and the next is another story. Steve's dad lives Melbourne, and always carries on about family in Ireland all the time. Sooo boring.
Oops it's tea time. I will finish posting later.
Thanks for the cards Sonya and Sue. I keep all of Jakes first birthday cards. Now I have some kinda chance of Jake having as many card at Tara. (Poor Jake got buggar all of them too.) What would I do with out my BB girlfriends. XX

thanks jen and sonya!! the cards are lovely, steve and i were so excited to open them!!
karlie - lakshman likes his tucker, but lately he eats his food, then sticks his tongue out. he then grabs the food at the tip of his tongue and examines it before throwing it on the floor..
i think we're going to get lakshman a fisher price swing thingies.. he;ll love it..

Glad all the cards are starting to arrive, sorry some were late. Well I survived another night, My Mum who lives in NSW makes me email her every morning so she knows we are OK, soo Mumish!! Z has decided he only needs one sleep a day so I didn't get back on yesterday....played trucks and cars instead.
Karlie - Yeah that sounds like my MIL to a T!! It must be hard seeing Jake not getting the same treatment/attention as Tara, from a mothers point of view they are both as equally special, it's hard when times like this come around and it seems as though the people you think feel the same, somehow make you feel let down when their actions don't indicate that. We love you Jakey!!
Esme, jasper sounds like such a little character, lol, Zane is a bit like that too, Our next door neighbors little girl (same age roughly) has a dummy and whenever they are together Zane pulls it out of her mouth. And always try to "talk" louder than her.
Speaking of which has anyone had a problem with bullying? A friend of mine 3 year old son pushed Zane backwards and he hit his head on the tiles, (furious) it happened at our house, we were sitting at the table right next to them but I didn't get to Z in time Zane,of course started screaming and I said to the little boy "we do not push in this house." and was cuddlying Zane and the "bully" started screaming too?? WTF ?? But what infuriated me the most was not that fact that Z as pushed kids are kids and things like that will happen but was the fact the the mother just said "why are you crying? you wouldn't like it if someone pushed your sister?" and that's it, he was allowed to continue playing as if all was fine? I was in utter shock!! What happened to time out? or am I living in fairy land? What are your girls views on this?? Is it ok to chastise (sp) other peoples children when they won't but are there? Needless to say the contact between us is limited and Z doesn't play with them unless I'm right there. Really dissapointing.
The only way I can get Z to not spit his food and sqidge up his nose is to sing the Raggs theme song (my god my 1 yr old has an addiction to Raggs? LOL) O there's my Fab singing again. So far so good with his food though teeth are causing nuisance there.
Hey Prama & Kato how is Poopy and "little monkey" today, hope their nights were better, Kato is there a photo of you and baxter as your profile pic? I think I added you? if not I have just req an add from someone I don't know?? LOL.
Sueby - How are the boys going at school? Hope it's getting a little easier for you.
had a good night last night, feeling a bit fresher today!
we got some more cards yesterday - thanx Karlie, Sonya and Prama - Baxter loves the dog card - was trying to read it to me ernestly yesterday
Karlie & Sonya - sorry to hear of horror MIL antics! i am pretty lucky with mine, i have to actually tell her to stop buying stuff for baxter...we get along really well, but they only live 10 mins away, so there are a lot of unannounced 'popins' Freddo tho, really!
Prama - i found you on FB, sometimes i forget how generic my name really is LOL. hehe bout poopy and his food - baxter likes to take it off the spoon, and then offer it to me, only to shove his fist half way down his throat
Esme - ditto on the lentils - did they go down well?? Jasper sounds just like baxter - at least we don't have to worry bout them being shy..
sorry for those lovely ladies i ahve missed, will be back soon, have a great day
kato
ooh, just quickly Sonya
a month or so ago we had a little issue with baxter hitting people in the face so i started to put him on the floor and ignore him if he did it to me, and anyone else i would firmly say 'no' and turn him away facing a wall (portable naughty corner) and he seems to ahve gotten better.....don't know how you go about it if the parent is there and doesn't do anything - must be frustrating!! everyone has such different parenting styles tho, so you end up walking on eggshells...good luck! (Zane will be big enuf to hold his own in no time!)
Wow, this thread has been busy, I can hardly catch up!
We had a great time with my parents here and they loved spending so much time with DD but I am knackered after showing them around, cooking and cleaning up after everyone, etc. Sorry I didn't participate in the card giving; I missed that post and was then too busy to catch up with it!
prama - what an idiot that guy is. I hope they stuck all 4 coke bottles up his bum! I would have wanted to if I was there. I feel so awful for you crying after dropping Poopy off - it must be so hard for you. You are a great mum to him and I am sure he's happy at daycare. It is just so unfair that you have to go back FT, I hope maybe they can change you to PT at some stage maybe? Catherine also likes to take her half chewed food out of her mouth and then throw it on the floor. Grrrr! We just bought the FP swing, we are yet to hang it up though!
bronzdbebe - did everyone PM you their fbook name? I have found Karlie and Kato now. That is cute about Zane trying to chat to the neighbour - Catherine likes to chat with people too and her latest thing is taking her dummy out of her mouth (which she isn't supposed to have unless she's sleeping but sometimes she manages to find one somewhere!) and she tries to put it in other peoples mouths. Yuck!
Karlie - your MIL sounds awful - a freddo frog!? Gees, I would be annoyed at that. Both sides of our family were pretty generous, my little girl now has waaaay too many toys!
It sounds like we have a few redheads in here! I am a redhead and we have been waiting for DD's hair to go red. It looks red in the light sometimes, but I'm not sure if it's going to go red. Maybe the next bub!
esme - you sound just like me! When DD goes down for her morning nap, that is my coffee and BB time too. I think it's the only thing keeping me sane! I have missed it while my parents have been here and the week after next we are heading back to Perth for a couple of weeks so I don't know what I am going to do! I will have to bring the laptop with me and get on here as much as I can...
Ash - DD still has 3 feeds a day - morning, night and before her afternoon sleep. I also do the first time mum worry thing, and I know I should cut back her feeds, but she loves the boob soooo much that I let her have it. I am trying really hard to cut back more though and she is finally eating better so that will hopefully make it easier. It's kind of hard for me too to stop feeding her - she is really not a baby anymore and it feels strange to not BF her.
Sometimes I feel like DD doesn't like me much. She often just wants her dad and gives him big cuddles but not me and then this morning she wanted my dad and wouldn't come to me! She has never done that before and I felt so unloved.
O Bun hunni, Zane does that too!! Mostly to Adam, but if you show him a family picture and you say where's Daddy he can always point out Adam yet if you ask about Mummy I'm the dog or something lol, I think they all have their moments. I know that come next Friday when Adam comes home Zane will not care less if I'm around or not unless it's milk time. Big hugs though, doesn't help make you feel better at the time though does it.
Ok so lonliness has set in and I'm only up to day 3!!! LOL!! I have done 3 loads of washing (I had to wash 1 load twice because I forgot it was in there) I've caught up on my taped biggest looser eps, I've vaccumed and eaten a whole row of lemmington fingers.!!!
Good afternoon ladies. Thankyou everyone for your cards. They are great! We have ones from Karlie, Tara and Jake, Prama and Lakshman, Sue and Sophie, Sonya and Zane and Kate and Baxter. Its makes my little girl look well loved.
Oh another tanty here.... back later.
Sorry very quickly 1 MORE SLEEP YAY!!! How excited are you getting now Jen?? Miss Amber will be a "big toddler" tomorrow...YAY!!! What have you got planned??
We are having a quiet day tomorrow. DF is taking the day off work. Not sure what we are doing. We are having Amb's grandparents over for lunch (well we are going out!) on Sunday. I am making animal cupcakes for tomorrow and a number 1 cake for Sunday. Its fun making cakes!
Amber had a couple of hours sleep before so she is a bit more refreshed. We had a bad night last night so she needed it.
Sonya- Maybe our troops will pull out of Afghanistan before your DH has to do his tour? Hopefully. is he in the army for life? Or will he like to get out at some stage? I know how good the benefits can be with housing and medical plans etc. But I guess you army wives have to be lonely for good chunks.
Did anyone watch The Farmer wants a wife last night? I am a sucker for that show!
No didn't watch farmer wants a wife?? Might have to start...LOL, add to my collection of shows.
Hey Prama, we haven't heard from you so I'm guessing your really not well, Hope you get better soon sweet!!
Ad is coming up to 10yrs so he will stick it out till then, I would love for him to be out before Z starts school I don't really want to moving every couple of years, I don't think it's fair on the kids (I know people do it..That's just my personal opinion) Either that or we would have to go member seperated, not something I really like to think about. He loves it at the moment apart from being away from his family but now days you have travel in all sorts of jobs so I guess that just comes with the job, It is hard sometimes Jen but you learn to make the time you have with them quality because you know there is not quanity.
Sounds like Miss is Amber is going to spoilt, Cakes sounds awesome, you'll have to post some piccies when you get the chance.
Arrgh Tupperware cupboard is geting ransacked, TTFN

Jen, Yep. Im watchin' . What bloke do you fancy? Give Amber a big birthday hug for me.XXX
Prama, I hope you feel better. I did hear there was a tummy bug going around.
Sonya, I sneeked out earily. Gee it was boring. We just read off a print out sheet in a huge circle. BLAH BLAH BLAH.LOL
Esme Teeth suck bad. Jake just crawls around moaning and crying unless I pick him up. All 14 kg's of him. Ahhh.
Bun, you are right. It is hard to keep up with this thread.
I got 2 more cards yesterday. Thanks Esme & Jasper , Kate and Baxter. I think Jakes card are in Tara's arina now.lol
Sorry for the basic personal's. Im a bit stressed out and depressed. I just found out my dog has a massive tumor. I have had him since I was 21 years old, and Im not coping with it very well. DH got him the 1st year we meet.
Bye
