Tannis - OMG you go to bed late, or should that be early lol.... I don't know how you do it I would be exhausted the next day, plus you're up early
Missy - I have a basket full of clothes too, got to put all the clothes away and then start all over again.. My FIL did some ironing which was very sweet though.
Kristy - your boys are doing really well, I can totally understand you don't being able to pop in too often you do have your hands full. You have a lovely Christmas too.
Tasia - Happy shopping, we are going to the deli today as I'm making an antipasto platter for xmas and a cake.
Welcome to Chantel, I'm sure that you will enjoy our group we are very friendly and talkative. Look forward to getting to know you and your family.
Well Izzy will be starting her next vegie tomorrow pumpkin so looking forward to that! She is doing really well on the potato so I'm happy with her progress with her solids. Is it bad that I don't want to start her on fruit just yet cause I want her to eat her vegies first before tasting sweet??? Or should I be mixing it? She is only having one solid meal at the moment anyway.
Oh wow. A new thread already! Thanks, Trillian!
You ladies have chatted so much. I can't keep up.
Welcome to our group, Chantel. Congrats on your babygirl. I hope everything is going great with her. Looking forward to getting to know you better. and Happy belated 5months to her too.
Happy 5months little miss Izzy!
Mez - Sounds like Izzy is going fantastic with her soilds. I've only done fruits with Bubbablue so far. It'll be interesting to see if he likes potato and pumpkin, cause I did give him a taste of it the other day off my finger and he didn't seem that into it. I'm hoping he likes vegies too. The video you put on FB is just precious. I love it!!!
Feeb - Gorgeous photos on FB. I'm thinking Jacob looks so much like you in a couple of those. What do you think? I'm glad you had a safe trip and welcome back!!
Kristy - Your boys sound like they're going fabulously. I've been doing the jar stuff too aswell as me holding chunks of fruit in his mouth with his hand holding mine. lol.
Pix - YAY Beth! What a clever little cookie. Haydie just wants to be sitting up all the time. I've just been sitting with my legs out straight and him on the floor between them. He's getting better with his balance. He mostly just goes too far forward instead of all wobbly and sideways.
SW - Awesome stats for Alyssa. She's such a gorgeous little angel. Sounds like your house will be great when it's done. Great to hear you guys made a decision on the builder! That's a step closer.
Kell - Awh @ Jesse and the Christmas lights. When we went to look at some the other night, Elijah was so over excited. Bubbablue slept the whole time too. Next year they'll enjoy it more.
Mel - Your DH would have loved his day with just your DD. Special daddy/daughter time.
Tan - I have baskets to fold too but I don't feel like doing it today. Lol. Oh well. I'll just leave it longer hoping that DP MIGHT do it for me, highly unlikely I know. :P Wow. So Chris doesn't like you on the computer cause he's home, but is he even suggesting to go do things with you and the kids?
and Missy, Zee, Belle, Sweetpea, Tasia and anyone I might have missed.
I hope the bubbas have been sleeping well and teething isn't being that much of a pain in the butt.
As for us.
Haydie has been doing these huge spitty raspberries and I end up coverd in a spit shower. Elijah thinks it's hilarious. Lol.
Started Haydie on pear and he absolutely loves it. Even more then the apple. I'm just doing the fruit on it's on without farex cause it didn't seem like the farex was that big of a hit.
The little toothie pegs are so right just there. I'm hoping them show themselves real soon.
So glad to get rid of my sisters dog and he was only here for 2 days. Him and the cat. OMG.
Not much else going on. Just going to start making some Christmas food tonight. I'll probably just make the ice cream dessert thingie. I was told I couldn't make it tomorrow in the daytime cause DP wants to lick the bowl. HAHAHAHAHA.
Whingy boy here today. Anyone wanna swap? hehehe.
xx
Hi guys, quick pop in - last day at work, hoping to go home in an hour or so.
to Chantel - congrats on your little girl
DH is at home with the kids today - even though he has cheated and taken them over to his parents for a few hours - lucky bugger - doesn't have to deal with the both of them at once.. pmsl..
Feels sooo weird to know that my IL's are with my kids and I'm not there - not that they need protecting from them - but I like to be there just in case something happened ya know? Probably just being stupid.
Anyhoo - best be off. Just got to enter one more account - woot woot!!! Typical its a hard one though haha!!!
Boss gave me a present - a bottle of Malibu - I gave him two big hugs for it - plus he also gave me a card that thanked me for my hard work and my friendship with him during the year. He's a great boss.. Me wuvs anyone who gives me al-ka-ma-hol.. hehehehe
Gonna have to take that to Hervey Bay and Bundy and shout Tan to a drink
YAY! Last day at work Mel!
That's greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I hope the last account you need to do doesn't drag on.
I totally get what you meant about the ILs.
What a great boss you have too.
Just before I got to Elijah "Why don't you like to talk to Hayden when he's upset? He likes it when you're talking to him or playing with him."
I get the reply "It's boring.
I hope this works for some reason BB hasn't been working for me over the last few days. for some reason the only way i can post now is to press quick reply and then edit it. grrr. ANYWAY
I just wanted to say HI!! been really runny flat chat every day. these babies really can be needy. esp sebi who cries when i leave the room, driving me nutts!
anyway i just wanted to say i really miss chatting with you and i hope to be able to come back more often.
Nothing new here.. except its bloody hot and im over it!
Mel.. hope A is feeling better soon poor pet.
All these sleepless babies.. poor things and poor mums i hope those teeth hurry up and come through. Keiras been sleeping great.. had no problems with her, but in saying that she doesnt have any teeth yet so im sure my turn is yet to come.
Well have to run. Need to eat some breaky before we go out.
Well im abit sore today. Been going to the gym. I feel great in the sence that im working out but my body is abit sore. I guess it needs getting us to it. Was there 3 1/2 hrs last night then back again tonight but only for a hr.
Kids are great, Liam is sleeping well and callum is staying in his bed. Liam is rolling all the time and all he wants to do it sit. He still cant sit by himself.
Kell how is it going with your parents down. Bet the kids were excited to see them.
Tenny yep liam when through a stage when he wasnt sleeping well. I think he is getting better. Ive been checking his teeth as he had one come through on boxing day but now it doesnt seem to be there. Not sure what going on there. I know there up and down for a while but once they broke the skin I thought that was it. Liam is the same with his fruit, cant get it in fast enough...lol
Pix hope beth is sleeping abit better for you. Oh the pump class, I did that last night. I enjoyed it but as you said abit sore..
I'm hoping this is going to work I've tried for the last 2 days to try and post grrr. Anyway lets see what happens.
HAPPY 6 MONTHS HAYDEN
Tenny - Happy 6 yr anniversary too sweet (I'm a little late)
Missy - Woohoo on going to the gym sweet I bet you're feeling better about it too. I know I am feeling better about myself now that I'm going walking and doing pilates.
Pixie - I hope little Beth is sleeping for you, has she got any teeth yet??
Kell - hey how was it with your parents visiting?? So good to hear that Keira is sleeping well for you. How is gorgeous Jesse?
Kristy - so nice to hear you're doing well. Izzy is getting very clingy to now and when I leave her alone she just screams..
Tasia - I hope Jonathan slept better for you last night. Looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
Mel - hope little A gets better soon sweet you've had a hard time lately with them being sick hey. Woohoo on changing your work days, good luck with centrelink.
A BIG to Feeb, Belle, Tannis and anyone else I may have missed.
Isabel is getting another tooth so she has been a little grizzly lately. The weather isn't helping either poor darling. Oh today I'm going to pay for her swimming lessons we start in Feb. I had my first Pilates class last night I think it will help just need to get the technique correct it's harder to do than I thought.
