Yep! I saw one on ebay called an ELC (early learning centre) garage carpark or something thats exactly the same just different colours. Its in melbourne but least thats another brand you can look for. (maybe you could even message the seller and ask if you can pay for postage?)
Morning all :hello:
We had a good night out last night, Beth was so well behaved, everyone commented on what a chilled out baby she is. But we got home late and everything is a bit disrupted. Just rocking her to her morning nap now which is a bit later than usual. Suppose we will have to think about solids at some point but for now I'm not going to worry about it. She's chunking up enough on the boobie milk!
SW - Thanks so much for the Christmas gift for Beth.... perfect! :leap: great to see you, Alyssa and the cats have arrived - and you have the essentials - scratching post and gaming computer, what more could you need! LOL at the scratching post envy.... my SIL and I went out for cake yesterday and she had cake envy... it was justified too.
Tan - sounds like the parade was fun. The pictures of Ash are just so beautiful. I'm tempted to buy some headbands for Beth because Ash looks so cute in them, little trendsetter that she is.
Tenny - DD has cradle cap too, I bought some commercial stuff to put on it, but TBH I might try olive oil, its about the same consistency and at least olive oil doesn't smell bad. Might get some Dermaveen SW. DD kind of rolled over the other day but it started with a face-plant, then on her tummy and over on to her back.... she kind of had momentum going and started with her bum in the air so I don't really know whether to count it or not! :rofl:
Mez = glad your mum's group went well
Tasia.... got to get my KK shopping done as well... and all my christmas shopping...
big hello to mel, feeb, missy, kel, kristy and everyone else.... have a great day :leap:
Pleasure on the gift =) Glad you like it =))):
What more could I need? Perhaps a nice cup of tea ;) I bought a kettle yesterday for $10 at one of the christmas sales!! It's a bit dodgey (you get what you pay for!! Very cheap construction), but it will do until our stuff arrives. So now I can add that nice cup of tea to the things I have ;)
Here is the reason for the scratching post envy! She even bought one to match her cats!
damn - now I have cake envy too ;) Might add that to the list of "what more could one need"
Missy - yeah, I just feed her a little more when the weather is hot. She gets everything she needs from the milk - be it for hunger or thirst. Just giving her little sips of the water because she IS so desperate to have the things that we're having. She grabs for everything now, too
Tan - all your happy snaps have been adorable =)
Cats seem happier this morning. Let them into the room this morning after Alyssa's morning feed (as I was awake and could watch them). Not so comfortable being in a single bed with three cats sprawled all over it! Bad enough in our usual king size bed.
Well, the girl is stirring again! Better go get her =)
Later =)
Tan - Good luck with your checkups today. I reckon if she's rolled over it's counted! Were the Santa sacks expensive or alright? I'm not sure if DP will go for it if they're expensive. I kinda have to persuade him either way. It's all worth it though.
SW - OMG 260cm! I'm only 159cm. Lol. HOLEY MOLEY and matching the cats too. wow!
Missy - I'm so going to cry when he starts. It mighten be as much as I did with the preschool this year seeing as I'm not pg and that was kinda the first step towards school. Awh. If Elijah runs off like Melissa did I'll be so so upset and cry my eyes out too.
Kell - I'm glad Jesse likes the muffins and you can get vegies into him. I don't think DS1 gets all his vitamins so I'm thinking about getting some kids multivitamins for him.
It's like he was rolling over yesterday, but today doesn't want to. What's up with that??
It's frustrating. :wall:
When you bubbas all started rolling over did they do it constantly at first or it took a bit for them to get into it?
I can't remember from when Elijah was a baby at all.
Thanks for the info about what you all do for cradlecap. I did the sorbelene dealio last night and it's alot better.
It's so funny that his hair was falling out (still is a little bit, I think) on the top of his head but it was the shorter hairs so he still has the really long ones going on. It was kinda like a comb over the other day. The hair that fell out is growing back fast and it's not so bad this week. He still has loads of hair on the back of his head though. It's weirddddd.
:hello: Mel, Feeb, Mez, Tasia, Zee, Belle, Sweetpea and anyone else I might have missed accidently.
Yeah Kell I just mail her to see if I can pay for postage. Hope I get it.
Tenny Liam will roll then wont for a little while. I think its just if they can be bothered....lol. Oh I hope you dont get to upset when DS1 goes. Oh they grow up to fast.
SW wow on the cat and matching. That is so funny...lol. Yep the little ones just want everything. I find liam is grabbing for everything. I was having toast today for breccy and liam was on my lap, I was talking to callum and liam grabbed my toast. Was so funny:lol:
Liam has some cradle cap too pix but nothing some oil wont fix.
Ok bbl
sorry - just had to share =))) My little geek girl
SW OMG no wonder you have scratch post envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol at matching cats!!
Ohh your pics are sooo cute Love the google top Jacob has a Cisco kid suit that DH loves him wearing!!!! (when he returned to work from leave after he was born it was on his desk waiting for him!)
Jacob somedays rolls tummy to back and others doesnt have a care in the world! other way he rolls half way only. hes to relaxed and chilled out!
Hi to everyone else will bbl
SW: WOW that is 1 impressive cat scratch your friend has! And love the matching cats!!
Missy: Hope your headache goes away! Thanks re Ash's photo :) Shot gun is out and loaded haha. I'm not pushing either, last baby... want her to stay that way for a bit longer.
Kell: Jayden still won't take milk out of anything but his bottle, I even have even tried his Nuby bottle as that is like a teat but nup won't take it. I'd cut his milk all together but he still asks for it a lot. I'll see if they have any ideas at CH....I could put honey on the teat like I did with his dummy but I don't want him thinking milk is yuck, just the bottle.
Pix: Oh I am a huge fan of headbands now, never used to be. Beth is a good girl for her mummy and daddy! Ashlea is always asleep when we go to this cafe and the owner (SIL's ex boss) always comments, I tell her its a hard life being a parent LOL.....seriously is though when Jayden is around haha.
Tenny: Sorry haven't sent that website yet, the sacks are $40 for velveteen or $30 for cotton, the stockings are $25 for velveteen or $20 for cotton. She has easter bags too, we might let Jayden have chocolate next easter so he might actually get to use it LOL
Ashlea is a bit unsettled today, not sure what her problem is but I'm sure its just that she is tired and she has a brother that loves her WAY too much! She is asleep again, so I better get ready to go out. My phone is completely dead now, it won't even turn on (it has been freezing the last few days). I think I have to get another one today :(
ETA: Love the Tshirt SW! So cute!!!
YAY for Jacob Feeb!! Clever boy!
That's the cutest shirt, SW.
Tan - They're alright prices.
It makes me feel better that all your bubbas aren't all flatout rolling and rolling while mine is just lazy and justs goes with the flow. :P
SW cute photo
Feeb how you doing hun?? Hope your well. And YAY on the rolling. Clever boy
Tan yes keep them young I say. Last one for me. I wish it wasnt but im alittle to old now:lol: Liam is unsettled abit but was tired. Callum is always in his face. Its so cute but come on boy let him breath...:rolleyes:
Yes tenny mine can be lazy too. Oh well
Hi all,
It's been a few days since I have had the time to post so here goes.
SW that pic is just so cute. I need one for bub when I am on the computer she stares at it, if I move it away she cryies lol. And I need to get a cat scatching pole for our cat she drives me made.
Teenykins, Reaghan first rolled at 3 months but it has only been the past few days that she does it regualary and she is 5 months yesterday, even now she does it sometimes and not others, this morning she rolled herself under our coffee table, where as last night she was happy to just lay on her back.
pixie, gald you had a good night out, hopefully Beth will settle back into routine today without any problems.
Tannis good luck with your kids checkup tommorrow. I realy should book Reaghan in she has not been weighed properly since she was 3 months, I just stand on the scales with her lol. But would be good to see properly.
To everyone else happy Friday and hope you all have a good weekend.
Reaghan is all of a sudden deciding she can do everything, she is sitting up almost unaided just have to catch her when she wobbles, is rolling all over the place and cries when she gets stuck up against anything, and yesterday when i was holding her standing she decided to hold onto the side of the coffe table. I so don't want her crawling or walking yet being my last I would love her to wait awhile longer lol.
Cheers
sweetpea wow your DD is going great guns. Clever little one. I know what you mean about the not wanting her to crawl yet. Awwwww once that starts thats it.. Can I ask where you got the name Reaghan from.
Also does all the SKIDS live you and your DH. Very busy house if they do!!!

I am so relieved to hear i am not the only one with lazy child. Physio came other day for his neck and she showed me strerches etc and commnented ohh he should be rolling all the time and made me feel bad like he has problems. I was like he rolled at 3 months a few times and now not really interested only occasional.

I agree with feebs, how rude. How many days you working hun
Hi Missy,
On the name front I wanted something celtic/irish so searched the internet till I found one we both liked lol. And in answer to your question no not full time, it works like this:
Reaghan fulltime of course
dd8 and 5 go to there dads everysecond weekend.
dss20 and dsd 18 just moved into a house toghter with my sister and dsd boyfriend.
dss16 and dsd 14 we get every 3rd weekend and half to most of the school holidays.
We actually have to keep a schedule on our computer calanders to remember where we are up to lol.
Is gets very busy at times considering we are in an extremly small 3 bedroom house, but would not have it any other way.
Feeb, I woulnd't worry about the lack of rolling etc, dd#1 did not even hold her head up till she was 6 months, she rolled, crawled and sat up all in one day at 10months the day before she was supposed to see a specialist becuase she wasn't doing any of it. then with walking/standing. she pulled to stand at 13months then nothing for months and got up and walked across the room at 16 months and that was that. Kids develop in their own time.
OMG sweetpea. That is one hell of a family...lol. no wonder you need a roster. Gee how cool is your family. Oh and lol at the DSS and DSD I got abit confussed but ended up working it out...lol.
Do you get on with DH's ex. I always wonder about ppl that have got kids from other partner.
Missy,
I get on enough to do drop of and pick ups and talk about any kid related stuff, with the step kids i get on fairly well, dss20 is just finishing mowing my grass I pay him $50 dollars it helps him with bills etc, mind you i have a huge yard (which i hate to big). Yeah must have a roster or would get confused even as dh work shifts on it as he is on a rotating roster so that makes things interesting to lol.
With my ex i get on enough to do pick up etc but are def not good friends or anything like that.
i actually get on with my ex's ex girlfried she has a son to him and we get on really well. She was a brides maid at my wedding to dh. Her ds has is 3yrs old she kicked the exout when he was 6 months and has not looked back either lol.
Missy- I work three days a week.. just wasting time on here at the moment until I get busted by the boss..
we actually have our xmas party today - so I SHOULD be doing some work... but its tooo borrrrring... ;)
Sweet well at least you can all be nice for the kids. Wow your house must be tops at xmas. Happy 5 months to Reaghan .More the merrier I always say.:lol:
Oh Arimeh wow your a supper mum. Working 3 days with 2 small children. Good on you hun:clap:
Just took liam for a walk and callum rode his new little bike on the foot path. he was so cute but boy its hot now.
Ok have to start preparing dins.
bbl
Hi girls how are you all! Im sure you maybe wondering what has happened to me as I havent been around! our IINET account wasnt working for a week :( so I couldnt get online, geez it was hard I tell you to be without the internet, its amazing how much you use it and miss it :) We are all well, Julia and Tara are doing well, We moved Tara into the cot as she outgrew the bassinet and put Julia in a single bed. Tara is sitting up almost unaided and he loves doing 360's on her playmat too. I have put some new pics of the girls on FB today if you want to have a look. Tara has weaned herself of my breast now which is sad but she wasnt interested anymore so shes now on formula. I didnt want to give up feeding her by breast until she decided and she has which means I can start intensive therapy on my anxiety disorder (obsessive hand washing - fear of germs) we have been waiting for her to stop BF so I can up my medication and do the therapy so fingers crossed intensive exposure this weekend will help me get better quicker (apparently you hit rock bottom and get better quick this way we will see, fingers crossed). Anyways enough about me, I hope you are all well and will catchup with you all, I have been looking at all the great pics on facebook and will reply soon..
Sorry bit of a me post, I will catchup tonight and post personals after the girls are in bed :)
Take care girls just wanted to let you know I am still here and am thinking about how you all are.
Bel
xxd
Tan.. oh really. Hmm, honestly hun what i would do.. if he still reaaally wants his milk, just one morning take the bottles away and replace them with new sippy cups and call them his bottle. If he whinges, just let him. Dont give in and give the bottles back to him. He will learn that this is the way hes going to get his milk now. It may take a couple of days of whinging but youll find if you keep consistant with it and not give in, he'll soon conform. I guess same goes with anything with kids, they need that consistancy iykwim. Jesse was easy switching over, but Kristy had the same problem with Isaac. I told her to do the above, dont give in and get the bottle out.. put them away up high where he cant go looking for them and tell him his milk is in this cup. Worked for Isaac. Just an idea ;) Oh its so nice when the big siblings love their little brother/sister hey. Jesse is the same way with Keira. Makes me so happy and so proud. Hope Ash is a bit more settled tonight for you.
Pixie.. good to hear you had a nice night out and Beth was a good little girl for you.
Tenny.. yeh hun thats how they start out. He'll get there... probably when your not watching! Oh hun i will gladly swap Keira's rolling for Haydens! I seriously dont want her to move yet. 1 dont want her to grow up and 2 it will be a PITA trying to re baby proof. Enjoy it while hes still hun really, cos it wont be long and he'll be running after Elijah ;)
Missy.. yeh hope she says yes!
Sweatpea.. sounds like little miss is moving along quite well there!
Mel.. oh woo with your new office!
Had a nice day at Kristys today. Am buggred right now though. Stinking hot out.. though storm clouds are on their way.. hope it cools down soon so DH can leave work!
Arvo.
Feeb - YAY on your new BBQ. I can't believe the physio was saying that about Jacob. It put my mind at ease when others said their bubbas aren't full on rolling machines. Lol. I hope DS sleeps better for you tonight.
Mel - YAY! your own office. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I hope you have a great time at your christmas party.
Kell - It's hot here right now. I'm hoping it cools down and pours rain here too. Lol. Your poor DH. I hope it cools down really fast for him so he doesn't have to stay at work.
Tan - Thanks so much for that site. :hug: DP doesn't want me to get them this year. :rolleyes: So fingers crossed next year.
Sweetpea - Sounds like your DD is going fantastic. I wish she'd slow down for you though. They so don't stay babies long enough. :(
Belle - I'm glad you're all going great. Sorry to hear Tara weaned off the breast. Good luck with the weekend. I hope it helps loads. :hug:
So after I posted that about rolling flat out or just a few times... Bubbablue was rolling flatout in a row, then he got sick of it. He thought it was good. DS1 and I were all making a big huge deal of it. He thought it was wonderful.
We went and got Bubbablue weighed and all that jazz today too.
Length: 66cm
Head: 43cm
Weight: 8.26kg. (YEAH, WHOA!)
I was like "Wow. I didn't think he weighed that much" when we were there and the CHN was like saying that look at his dad, he's got some tall+big genes. Lol.
Then she reckons he's going to bigger then DS1 will be when he grows up. Will be interesting to see. I was suprised the she didn't even ask if he was rolling over or anything.
I checked the scale things and he's in the 95th and 97th percentiles.
I also checked with DS1's book to see where he was at when he was Bubbablue's age and they're around the same weight wise.
Tenny - hi mate, Im ok about Tara weaning its all good my supply wasnt great :) thats great with bubbablue! hes doing really well!
Awww kell she wouldnt let me pay for postage. Oh I so wanted it. She said she didnt have time to wrap it up proberly for post. Its ok I think here at Toysrus so might go and have a look.
Tenny omg that is great stats for bubbablue. I dont think Liam would be anywhere near that. Waht a little piggy.
I stuffed dinner up too. Left it on the stove and forgot about it as BIL popped in and ok yes I was doing my calendars on Big W:o
Oh well Dh said it smelt good but he will eat anything...:shhh:
Evening ladies & Bear,
Hope we r having a good day today. I was out all day today went to my sister's house cause she went in for surgery on tues for endometriosis & curette, for a good clean up, she had severe case of endometriosis always in pain, this was her 3rd time she got it done as well like i said a good curette clean. But she's doing well, I feel so sorry for her because she has depression as well. She knows i'm here for her if she ever needs me.
I also went shopping for KK I was sooooooooo excited, but i didn't get a chance to post it today :( So I will post it on Monday (sorry KK).
Thank-u all for support on solids, I will start Jonathan on farex next week as he turns 5 months next thurs, as for solids i will start him when he's 6 months or maybe earlier, i want to see how he goes with the farex. I think he will enjoy it. I just feel so bad eating in front of him, I can't wait till he starts eating solids so hubby, myself & Jonathan can eat together as a family.
Feeb- yaaaaaaaayyy on the new bbq. Don't listen to the physio person, you are doing a great job sweety, Jacob will do it again and more when he's ready, great job hun.
Tenny- great stats sweety :) and yeah whoa hehehe, that's great, i wouldn't be suprised if my son is that much too now lol, won't know till 12 or 13 jan
Belle- Wb sweety, hope everything is ok now with u trying to get online.
Mel- that's great that u r working 3 days a week, when i go back to work next year, i don't think hubby will let me go back part-time i might have to go back full time, & see how i feel. I i want to work part time, i'm putting my foot down don't care wat he says.
Yep, I've got a little piggie pie on my hands.
Belle - I'm glad you're ok with the weaning. Now you can focus on getting your anxiety under control. :hug: and fingers crossed for you!
Tasia - I'm glad your sister is doing ok after her surgery today. I hope it helps her and she's in less pain from now on.
Missy - What were you cooking for dinner? I haven't started dinner yet. I couldn't be bothered yet and besides DP is out at the raffle till 7:30 so I'll make it when he gets home. I hope he comes home with some hams!! :lol:
Tasia - hello! hope the start of farex goes well next week! omg 5 months where did the time go? Tara's not far off starting farex too shes one hungry bubba :)
Tenny - :hug: thanks ! its great to be back online to chat to everyone, have missed you guys.
SW - hope your move went really well have been thinking of you.
Mel - how ru? hope all is well in your household.
Mez - hiya mate, hows things, havent caught up with you for ages, hope all is well.
Feeb - yay on the BBQ and the tree! with the physio what do they mean ? fully rolling? seriously I wouldnt worry some babies reach milestones early some late, Tara doesnt fully roll over from back to front yet, just from side to side, im not worried.
Pixie - mate the pics of Beth are amazing shes so cute! adorable eyes and so proud to be sitting up by herself too! shes really good! Julia didnt sit up until at least 6-7 months unaided.
Tannis - hon is it really hot is that why shes unsettled? Tara was a right grumpy bum the other day as it was so hot. I gave her some cooled boiled water and she loved it !hope shes bit better this arvo for you.
Kids are calling so back bit later for more personals.
Bel

Tenny- thanx sweety, she's a bit better, by next week she should be back to her ols self :)

Just woke up from putting Jayden to bed! Gotta go feed Ash now and I think I will go to sleep....SOOOO tired!! Will update Ashlea's stats in the morning.
nighty night!
Morning all. Not going to say good morning cause im in the worst mood. Callum was up abit last night then liam at 4.45 and then callum at 6am trying to get me up. awwww very tired.
Anastasia have fun at the zoo hun.
Zee I love my lights. Did you come and have a peek. Callum loves them. I only took Liam out the front the other day to see them and he was fasinated. OMG losing 6kg, Id love to do that but you thats not good as your pretty thin. Good the doc is taking the rod out. Yes Liam is loveing his solids. He is having them morning and night now. I wont do lunch until about 5 1/2 months. See how he goes.
Oh we are off to get santa photos today but im pi*sed tht the same santa is not there. Ive had the same santa for 4 years now and he has his own hair and looks so much what santa should look like. Oh I guess I will just have to get them done anyway. Then we are off to my sistes house to take photos of the kids for presents for my mum and dad and IL's. We going to blow them up. Should be fun trying to get them done with two little ones.
Well BBL tonight.
Hope you all have a nice day
Oh I still cant get over my brother. He is older then SIL, SIL is 34 and Brother is 45 so im soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy. Ok enough. Sorry just over the moon for them.
Take care
Feeb - LOL at cisco suit =)) i know we can get IBM ones, but I'm not sure I could do that to her ;) We don't work for Google, thus it's cute and geeky. Wish they had google girl ones! I have google girl lip balm!
Sweetpea - I think you can buy them off the 'net, but this one was sent to us by a friend in the US who works for google. The official google store seems to have a similar product. So if you want one, you can (strangely enough) google "google store" or "google baby merchandise" and it will find the google store for you ;)
Belle - great to see you online again! Been a little worried abt you as you'd been so quiet, but hadn't had much of a chance to fire off an email at you to see how you're doing. Not that you would have gotten it, anyways, by the sounds of things!! Hope the new meds don't knock you around too much as you get used to them.
Zee - glad doc is doing something for you re. blood loss... That was getting pretty scary. Hope it improves FAST!
Missy - grats on your bro. Sounds like your fam were in need of some more happy news in light of recent events!
Cats meowing at bedroom door. Might be time to let them in for a cuddle before the noise wakes Alyssa! And yes, it is sad that my 'puter is in this bedroom, but this room will be the machine room once all our furniture gets here as it has built in desks along two walls - about 6m of desk space in all. For now, it's the only room in the house with any furniture (MIL left me a single bed in here to sleep in until our stuff arrives)
Waves to everyone!
