Tascha, good to hear Josh is well. Madeleine also pushes everything around the place but isn't taking any steps yet, almost I think. I had to laugh when you wrote about dinner, Madeleine also prefers bottle over dinner. She takes a bottle 3 times a day at 260ml...just loves her milk. And I give her a dreamfeed too, sucks that back also!
Hi everyone :D
Everyone seems to be going well with their bubs, well I suppose we can finish calling them bubs soon hey. Time has just flown this year!
Bodie is now 11 months. Crawling and getting into everything, saying Mum-mum, Dadda, Nan-nan and Bub. So all is going great. He's not walking yet but walks along the lounge holding on of course. Loves his food and milk and is 10 kilo's.
For his birthday we are having family & close friends around for a bbq and party food and for a swim in the pool if a nice day. So it's going to be 2 days after xmas so i'm sure he will be a very spoilt little man by the end of it!
Welcome Ashie! Congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting for you all!
Welcome back Queenbee! Good to hear Madeleine is doing well. I had to laugh when you said she was pulling out all your washing... Bodie does the same thing! Will have to find another place for the laundry basket I think but in our house we don't have much storage space, damn it.
Tascha: Yay for Joshy taking his first steps! Oh the bubble machine and jumping castle sound like a great idea for his party. Have got my fingers crossed for a brother or sister for Josh, goodluck hun.
Maz: Wow, Mat is an excellent sleeper! What a champion!
I bet everyone can't wait for christmas this year! It's just going to get better every year as they grow up. :partysmiley:
Welcome Ashie!
Maz - I tried the mesh feeder a while ago but she doesn't like it! She's actually making less of those gagging sounds now though, so she's learning.
Jess - Amelie was born 3.3kg, so she wasn't that small. She's now almost 8kg. At her last visit with the MCHN she was at the 10th percentile for weight but 50th percentile for height, which means she is an average height skinny baby!
Well Amelie turns 10 month tomorrow, yay! She's been getting herself into standing position holding onto furniture and anything else really.
I'm also trying to plan her 1st b'day party bash. Probably going to make my own invites and will try to make her cake. Note the word *try* LOL - I've never baked a cake in my life!! Never too late to learn:)
Oh my work contract ended last month, so now I'm a SAHM!! Loving it so far - I get to spend my days with my fave person in the world, so what's not to love about it! When she has her day naps (twice a day) I get things that I have been meaning to do for years, done, like several years worth of my personal filing! LOL. My gosh I'm loving this break from work, something I have never had before ever since I finished uni years ago! It's great.
Cherry, Madeleine also hates the mesh feeder, will only have ice cubes in it! We are trying to organise Madeleine's 1st birthday too, nothing too big, just a breakfast BBQ at the park, did my invitations up, they look awesome and I'm proud of them. I too am a SAHM, went on maternity leave in August 2007, had some me time and Madeleine was born 2 January. I have no plans for returning soon, loving spending time with my little one so I know how you feel.
Apes, Madeleine is shocking with the washing!!!! She pulls it all out onto the floor and will chat and argue with it, it is funny to watch. Our little ones are similar in that deparment. So good to hear Bodie is well.
olny a quickly to say hello as Katie is up my neck of the woods and coming over....I so have to clean up the washing on the floor..:ROFL: never have time to do much these days
Have a good weekend everyone
Hello everyone
Well ive finally done it...ive started writing down everything about my pg with Mateauz, his birth and after. Very long process and very emotionally hard but its helping.
if your interested the link is here
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...al-palsey.html
might help some people understand what I went thorugh
Maz, I am totally reading your thread about Mateauz....I really love the courage you have and am sad for all you have been through. Talk soon. xxoo
Maz, I truly hope writing you story down helps you. I know its helping others if reading there replies is anything to go by. You are amazing!!
Just popped in here to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :partysmiley:
Can't believe my baby will be 1 year old on Saturday :o. This year has certainly flown! This time last year I was a blimp, feeling tired but not too bad. lol
Anyways hope you all have a lovely christmas and I bet all the bubs get very spoilt.
Love April & Bodie xoxo
Hi everyone,
I havent been in here for a looooooong time but with the upcoming first birthdays I got thinking of you all.
Will have a bit of a read back to see what you are all up to.
Update on Celeste: she says Mumum or MUM !, Dada, signs dog, cat and dad, she said Pardon yesterday. It was soooo funny. We always say pardon if she farts and DH did a massive fart and said it then Celeste said it too and laughed at him!!!!! We often get the odd word from her but only the once so far, she said dog once and hello. She waves of course but has stopped giving kisses, just gives cuddles to everything and everyone. She is finally crawling on her knees having been commando for 3months. No speed though and she just loves standing and having us hold her up to walk by the hands. Allllll day long. She was only 7.7kg last time we weighed a month ago and has 7 teeth.
Anyhow, hope you all had a wonderful first christmas with your little ones and that the next year is as special as this one was for you all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
:happybirthday: TO ALL THE LITTLE MISS AND MASTERS OF THIS THREAD!
Wow.. its been forever.
Ive been reliving my last month of pregnancy the last couple of days. As Joshua's birthday creeps closer!! How fast has the year gone. How much am I feeling emotional!!! Is anyone else feeling this way?
I hope that everyone is doing fabulously! How DID the birthday celebrations go.. OR ... How are the plans going??
Maz... thank you for sharing. I wish for your 2009 to bring you Love, Joy and lots and lots of laughter!
Hugs
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL AMY!!! I am so blessed to be your mummy. The past year has been so much fun and am looking forward to many many more fun times.
Hope everyone is having a great new year and happy birthday to all the bubs who've already turned one or are about to.
Luv Nik and Amy
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!! to all those who have celebrated them and those yet to.
Sophie FINALLY got her 1st tooth at 10.5months and has been teething on & off since but no more teeth as yet.
We go to swimming lessons every Tuesday and Sophie loves it, although can be difficult to get her attention sometimes.
I've been reminising lately also, thinking back to what i was doing this time last year. Planning Sophie's party is going well i only have a few things left to organise and then i can sit back & relax.
Nik: OMG your pregnancy seems to be flying 27weeks already.
Hi everyone! The birthdays are coming thick and fast! This thread is so quiet now but I thought I'd pop in for an update. Amy had her 12 month shots on Tuesday and they went pretty well compared to the others. She settled quite quickly. She now weighs 11kg, 79cm tall and her head circumference is off the chart! Hahahaha. 49cm! She's always had a big head but woah! She took her first steps on Wednesday and is getting more and more sure of herself every day. I'm loving this age. Every day brings something new and she really is becoming a little girl rather than a baby. She slept through last night for the first time in months and I actually slept well too which was nice. I can't remember the last time I woke up and thought Gee that was a good sleep. Hope all your little ones are growing nicely and giving you lots and lots of joy.
Jo - I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going either. This little one is going to be here before I know it. Am starting to get the rooms sorted this weekend. Am very excited! Hope Sophie's party goes well!
xxx Nik and Amy
"WOW" been a LONG time since this thread has been used.
Hope all the toddlers are being good.
:)
its all your fault JO :ROFL:
Toddler...OMG that just freaks me out cause it only feels like yesterday that Mateauz was a baby :( it just goes to quickly doesnt it
Maz, we will have PRESCHOOLERS come September, now that is scary.
I am so not listening to that anna...dirty dirty word :ROFL:
Wow been awhile since this thread has come up in my inbox!!
They're growing so quickly aren't they:) And no more babies for us- 2 is enough. Just sit back now & watch them thrive!
HELLO LOVELY LADIES AND GORGEOUS CHILDEREN!!!
Just wanted to pop in and share a lil bit of good news..
IM PREGGO!!!
:bfp: this morning.. second test tommy. But its all the same as with Joshy.. so were are in for a FEB 2010 baby... !!
So excited.. but keeping it on the low for another week or so. Just until the doc visit is over.
We are also in the middle of packing.. as we sold our house and are moving in a week.
HOPE EVERYONE IS GREAT!!! MISS THIS TREAD... HOPE THE bellybuddies feb 2010 will be as nice!
Tashca what wonderful news hon!!!!! hey you might go early and end up having another jan baby :dance:
im so clucky......its worse knowing i'll never have another baby again :(
Congratulations Tascha! That's exciting news for your family :)
Maz, I often feel the same hun.
Wonder how many others from this thread will go again??? Anyone? Anyone else??? :LOL:
Update on Celeste: She finally started walking at 15months and took off like a rocket full time walking within days. Her language skills are out of this world (if I do say so myself hahaha proud mother) and I counted around 20 words and signs (baby sign language) the other day. She is still tiny and I am supposed to get her weight assessed now but Im just going to wait for the 18month checkups. Last time she was 25% For height and only 5% for weight. I fear it may have dropped with all her teething. She has just cut her 11th tooth with her canines coming before the 4molars which are all moving now too so I hope the teething will be finished till the 2yr olds soon. :pray: She is embracing the tantrum stage and only yesterday has begun stamping her feet and the special cry that comes with a toddler tantrum. Mostly though she is a delight and the light in my life. I'm just loving my time at home with her.
Anyone else care to share an update?
Wow on the talking SArah. I have to say I think its a girl thing. Vy was exactly the same and really does my head in some days lol. I think to much hype is put on babies with their weight ect.....is she happy? I bet my bottom dollar she is lloka t how much she is thriving so quiet obviously hon your doing great things for her. :hug: bugger them all.
Mateauz has turned into a BOY!!!! :ROFL: He doesnt talk much bar mum. dad. ta. go and NO. He is verbal with sounds more just not actual words. His form of affection to me is to come up and head butt, pinch, slap to scream high pitched at me...he gave me a black eye not long ago lol. The pyhsio said that CP kids tend to be quiet physically strong YAY lucky me. We have noticed he is very bow legged and have noticed that his left hip is not as mature as his right one but hey he walks, climbs and OMG he dances....loves dancing.
We bought him a mega sketch cause he loves to draw (my walls, my diary, my face one day :rolleyes:)
His favourite movie is Happy feet. He eats like a horse and for a kid that was ment to stay small he sure has proven that wrong..he weighs 14kg and is in size 2 :o. He is very nosie and loves to see how things work....extremly social and will chat and check out new talent ;)
Only thing that worries me is that he picks up colds ect very quickly. He once again has a runny nose and temp after playgroup on tuesday. I dont believe in taking my kids to the doctors every time they get sick so we ride it out with panadol and lots of cuddles.
Ive tried and tried to get Mateauz into his bed..but no he doesnt want a bar of it so he is still in his cot.
And now he is chasing the cat...poor guy has been body slammed and had his ears, tail and what ever else Mateauz can get his hands on pulled.
Hope eveyrone is well and that their babies..opsie toddlers are going great guns
Congratulations Tasch!!! So good to hear that, we shall chat soon anyway!
Updates- Adeline is doing beautifully- another big chatterbox here- must be the girl thing! Says loads of words well, tries to say almost every word we say (which is so cute!). She walked at 12 months and hasnt looked back. Weighs a touch off 12 kg on the home scales. I started back at work 2 days a week, and she took a long time to adapt to daycare, but is doing much better now. (though still prefers Mums company) We seem to be the last of the breastfeeders. Still going- she loves it and doesnt give any indication of stopping. I personally sway between wanting to stop and wanting to keep going as long as she wants!
She is a huge Mums girl but also pretty confident and loves interacting with other kids. Her favourite things are books and she has just discovered In the night Garden on telly!
No second bub here yet. Not trying yet- not clucky again yet! Wont leave it too long though.
Hugs to all!:)
CONGRATULATIONS TASCHA!!! How exciting for you & DH and Joshy is going to be a big brother!
How have you been feeling? Any morning sickness yet?
BBL all, at work xoxo
Just wondering how everyone is going with their 18month olds?
How are the health checks and immunisations going? Hope there are not too many sad and sorry toddlers out there this month. Thankfully this is the last one till 4years for most of them. :)
Celeste is going for her health check on thursday and I'm a bit apprehensive. She has lost weight with having had a cold and the flu back to back and teething. Only 3teeth to go and 2 are close now (mind you, they have been 3months coming already!). I am asking for a referral to a paed because of suspected Raynaud's disease. I have been worried by her constantly cold and often blue/grey and occasionally white hands, going bright red when warming. She had it last winter too but I was constantly told "babies DO have cold hands and feet".
DH said recently, "Just think, she will be starting school in 3.5years" :rolleyes: Crikey!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TASCHA! How exciting. :)
Hi all! Long time, no write in here. I shall try and keep up!
Love to all from Billy B and me.
x
Wow, it is quiet in here. I remember when we were pg and we'd use up a whole thread in a day. LOL
Hope everyone's doing great.
x
Hi Kate!
We are going great here :) Hello Billy :hello:
Celeste had a good health check. Language is fantastic. Weight is not so good but not scary. Walking, movement etc is ok. She still only weighs 8.77kg!!! I'm loading her with kilojouls again.
We are going tothe circus on wednesday night and I'm so excited! Have yet to take her tothe zoo but she has seen farm animals already. Wonder how she will react to a REAL lion????
Take care all!
Just popping in to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all our "babies" this month. Not really babies anymore are they?
How is everyone going now? I just cant believe how far these little people have come in 2years. It's a strange feeling: on the one hand it feels like I've loved Celeste my whole life but on the other hand I can't believe it's been 2 whole years since she was born. Strange.
What is everyone up to now? How many new siblings are there now?
I am back at work part time which I didnt plan but do enjoy. Celeste is thriving developmentally but is still very small (Not even on the chart anymore for weight). Life is busy and a lot of fun but the 2yr old tantrums are trying at times!!!
Ripley is going great guns. He's suddenly turned into quite the talker now he has turned two. Before it was just mumbling lol He loves trains; his brothers and dancing. He's a bruiser of a kid - 15.5kg and nearly 90cm tall at last check. Having a few issues with cheeky behaviour but comes with the two territory I guess. Not like I havent been there before right :lol:
Big brother has the chicken pox atm so we are waiting to see if Ripley and Stellan get it. I really hope not, Jett is being painful enough with the whinging and acting like he's dying (nice to know manflu starts young eh :rolleyes: ).
I cant believe they are all two this month. More because that means they are that much closer to 3 - and that means my ds1 is 4 in 8mths and ds3 is 1 in 2mths :(
We see the pead next month.....I cant wait to see what he say's about M. He is such a funny boy, doesnt talk much at all (not with 3 other sibblings doing it for him) but OMG he can scream, shout, yell and laugh loud. He call's me all day....follow's me everywere and wants me to hug him and pick him up all the time....I get loads of kisses too :D
He has just discovered waving and clapping...and he loves to dance. He's a lug...16kg and god know's he's height. size 3 clothing in most tings and size 8-9 feet :o bigger then V.
We love to draw....on paper...on cupbaords.....on windows and walls....just about ANYWERE!!!!! Santa ;) bought him a bike that he loves to death. little 3 wheeler huffy that he put's his stack hat on for pushes himself half way down the drive (its on a slight lean) and charges for the gates full speed while laughing.
He chat's to anyone, points a everything, loves bikes and motorbikes, body slams the poor cat, eats the cats food, is so far off toilet training its not funny, I found lego in his nappy a few weeks ago, not to mention metal balls (dont ask)..loves swimming in the pool and being the naughty one out of all 4 kids.
Not bad for a kid that was ment to be a vegetable hey :dance:
I have to say...I know we dont get in here much and that I dont get to chat much with you all but seeing how much all your babies have grown into these beuatiful little people makes my heart sing. Its wonderful to see how gorgeous, happy and loved our kids are.
Thank you all for sharing their lives with us...I feel priviledged in doing so.
Maz - M is just gorgeous you know! Apart from my own boys I think he is the most beautiful kid I have ever seen! Then again V & the other boys are gorgeous too so its obviously genetic ;)
Hey everyone!
Sazz - Celeste is such a gorgeous kid. I know what you mean about it seeming like they have been here forever but two years going so fast. It's amazing how much children enrich your lives isn't it? I'm hearing you on the tanties but it comes with the territory....that's what I keep reminding myself anyway!
Maz - M has come so far and he really is a gorgeous boy like Anna said. And it's all thanks to you and your wonderful family. That is hilarious about finding lego in his nappy. CLASSIC! I can't wait to hear what the paed says either ;) M sounds like he's going to be tall with those big feet!
Anna - So nice to hear from you! Amy has been the same since she turned two as well! Lots of new words and sentences every day when two weeks ago she was getting about one new word a week! I hope your other two beautiful boys don't get the chicken pox. Ick. Poor Ripley. LOL at manflu!
As for us, Amy is now 14kg and 90cm tall. I measured her the other day seeing as she hadn't had it done since her needles. I think she's going to be tall. She's lost a lot of the chub that she used to have and has turned into a little girl now but she's still solid. She was fully toilet trained, day and night, at 22 months which is lovely! I only have to change one lot of nappies now. It's fantastic! Her speech was a little slow to start but in the last two weeks it's like a switch has been flicked and she's started saying 4-5 word sentences! Amazing seeing as two weeks ago, we were lucky to get one word out of her. Amy LOVES her little sister. Hard to believe that Skye is going to be 1 in two months. Time is flying. They do have little spats now that Skye is crawling, cruising and standing though because she follows Amy around like a shadow and wants to be doing everything that Amy is doing. It's a challenge when Skye can't do half the stuff like drawing with crayons etc. We got rid of the dummy a week ago which wasn't as much of a drama as I expected it to be. It was our last connection to her being a baby really, which didn't make me sad like I thought, it actually excited me. we have some pretty awesome tantrums here but I find that having two kids makes it so I don't focus so much on Amy's tantrums mainly because I can't all the time, so a lot of it gets ignored which means that it doesn't last that long. We do give smacks and time out in the bedroom though when it becomes ridiculous or she does something particularly naughty like throwing a toy at Skye's head or running away from me when I'm trying to get both of them into the car. All in all though, I'm LOVING this age!
Happy birthday to all you beautiful little children. I am loving sharing this journey with you all and your lovely mummies.
xxxx Love Nik
