Happy 6mths Keira, Tara & Ashlea!
Kell: Wow, the cake sounds great! Can't wait to see it!!
Tenny: paw paw cream is really good, we also use bepanthen. Jayden has also used Dermaid but not sure if you can use it on a 6mth old as its steroid cream.
Mel: I think so!
Majella: Chris rarely looks after Ash but if he does he's calling out to me every 5 mins asking if I'm ready for her....he's NEVER changed her nappy.
Pix:What a horrible day! I know all about velco baby...growth spurt I think. Ash was up at 3.30am for a feed.
I forgot to mention Sat night we went to Sizzler for dinner with nearly the whole family, Jayden started coughing after he had eaten and then was sick, luckily I had anticipated it and had a heap of serviettes to catch it, then the girl who was looking after our table took it to throw it out, no gloves or anything....she was only 16-17, any of my niece's that age wouldn't have gone near it!!
We have Ashlea's 6mth checkup tomorrow, can't wait to see what she weighs now, and needles on Fri. I was going to ask something, but I can't remember.....might think of it later

We'll all have to live vicariously through Mez when she starts ttc in April
Pixie - bad day here yesterday too babe - so huge hugs from me.... can only get better today huh?

Pixie - yeah yesterday SUCKED. today has been good, she's just woken up from her second nap already - this time yesterday - hadn't even gone for ONE nap...Ahhh well.. can't have a perfect child all the time
Majella - I don't think the March thread has been started up yet? Its on the northside though - at Nelly's house I think - so north lakes - so thats 45 minutes drive away from me - so I'll be going to that one.
Better go get the girl outta bed.. she's probably hungry!

Happy 6 months gorgeous Princesses - Ash, Keira, and Tara!!!
Mel - Ahh. So I have to ask for it. I was just looking on the shevles. I never thought I'd have to ask for it. I'm weird. Thanks for that. I'm glad today is better then yesterday. I hope it continues to stay good too.
Kell - Brekky went today. He ate heaps more then he did the other day. He slept through brekky yesterday cause he hardly slept that night. Lol. Your cake sounds great. I can't wait to see photos.
Tan - I wasn't sure whether Bepanthan would be alright when it had broken skin and a teeny bit of blood. The pawpaw is working it's usual wonders though. YAY! Good luck with the appt tomorrow. I'm always wondering what my monster chubba weighs. Lol. We've got needles next week. I hope Jayden is better.
Pixie - It was fantastic to see her. Went out to lunch with her yesterday and saw all her photos and hear all the stories & gossip that went on cause she went with a friend. She sounds like she had an awesome time!! Thank you for asking.
Feeling extra gross today. Sick feeling and sore throat, and achy muscles. It's gross. Ontop of that another restless night with the boy. The teeth are close so I'm hoping once they cut we'll get some decent rest. One is on the verge, like where I'm not quite sure if it's through or not. DP stayed home to help me today cause I'm so exhausted and all that jazz aswell as trying to fight whatever I've got.. and it's too damn hot to sleep today too. :P
DS1 starts school tomorrow. I'm doing ok with it. I think it's cause I know what the school is like, since I went there, I know the teachers and they know me. It's kinda making it a bit easier. I was a mess last year at just one day a week going to preschool, but I'll blame it on the pg hormones.
I hope you're all having a fantastic day.
Majella, Missy, SW, Belle, Zee, Feeb, Sweetpea, Tasia, Mez and anyone else I might have missed.

Evening all,
Well we have had a few sleepless nights in this household. I really don't know why Izzy is waking so often during the night. Cause of the extreme heat we are having this week we have moved her cot in our room as it's a lot cooler in there for some reason. We'll see how she goes tonight so far she has been a nightmare trying to get her to sleep.
Tonight we filled the baby pool we bought her for Chrissy and we all sat in it, gee it was lovely and Izzy just loved it!
Mel - yep you'll all have to wait until April to hear any news my way lol
Pixie - Oh sweet hope you had a better today today.
Tenny - I hope you are feeling better and that Hayden's teeth come through for you soon, I know how you feel not having much sleep during the night
Kell - Can't wait to see Keira's Christening cake. I'm buying Izzy's one, I will make her 1st birthday cake.
Tannis - I can't believe Chris. You deserve to have a break and who said that he can't do the dishes it's not in our job description.
A BIG hello to everyone I've missed.

Tenny: Bepanthen should be ok still, but if the paw paw cream is working I'd use that as its natural.
Jayden has been put on asthma meds now, its looking like he has asthma (we have a strong family history). I have thought it for a while now but keep forgetting to mention it to the Dr(although I thought the Dr might have mentioned it to me
Ashlea's checkup was good her stats are now...
Weight: 6.92 (+500g from 4mth check)
Length: 64cm (+2.5cm from 4mth check)
HC: 42.5cm (+0.8cm from 4mth check)
We are going to start solids in the next day or so which might settle her more at night, although I would say its more that she is having a growth spurt and wanting more feeds. Ashlea decided to feed herself her 1st solids yesterday...A nice green blade of grass! She seemed to like it LOL. When I say to her where's mummy, she leans over to me, I thought it was coincidence but she has done it a few times and didn't do it when I said where's daddy or Jayden (they weren't there). She has also twice now said what very much sounds like mummy....not sure so I will keep listening. Jayden said mummy early like 6 or 7mths so it could be.
Oh I just read about that poor little girl that got thrown off the bridge! How terrible! Does anyone know if the other kids were in the car? How could someone do such a thing? I can't believe there are people like that in this world!
I feel kinda bad thinking how hot it is here today, nothing like Melb or Adelaide! Hope you girls are keeping cool!
Well off to clean up a bit before Chris gets home, we are both picking Jayden up today. Oh speaking of him not doing dished as its my job. He had half mowed the backyard the other day and I got annoyed that it was only half done so I got the mower out and finished it myself! It was fun (won't tell him that though!) Jayden thought it was funny me mowing, I haven't done it in years!

Happy 6 months to Alyssa & Lucas
Well we lost our electricity today for an hour it was horrible we had to put Izzy in the bath to cool her down poor darling.
I can't handle this extreme weather it's horrible even the air-con isn't working as well as I'd like and it doesn't look like it's going to cool down any day soon...
Tannis - How horrible about the 4 year old, yes the other 2 boys were in the car and saw it done, the father has been charged with murder.
sorry no personal too hot to think!

Hi All,
I realy feel for you melbourne girls, it must be so hot there at the moment. It got to about 38 here in the ACT so not as bad.
We went to the pool today, all shaded etc, Reaghan loved it but was so exhausted, she is asleep at the moment. She is growing to quickly, 1 week till she is 7 months. She has started to eat one meal a day now, at about 1030 in the morn which suits me.
Hope you all can stay cool and that bubs sleep for you all.

Hey everyone.
Happy 6 months Adorable Alyssa!
Happy 6 months Handsome Lucas!
Tan - Great stats Ash has! I hope starting solids goes great. Sorry to hear Jayden has asthma. Poor little man falling over. There is always so much blood when it's from the mouth, but they heal fast, thank god. I hope it's not hurting him too much.
Go Ash with saying Mummy. That's FANTASTIC!! I'm so excited. I don't even remember when Elijah first spoke. I do remember he said mum though. Hehehe.
Missy - I hope Callum's party goes great. Is it for any special occasion?
Sweetpea - What is your DD having for the 1 meal so far?
As for us:
Elijah started school today. He went fine and didn't want to leave.
I tried my hardest and was fine up until I had to leave then I shed a few tears. He didn't see though. They go from 9 till 1:30 for the first couple of weeks. I'm so proud of him though. He looked so smart and grown up in his uniform too.
I've been a bit off with the fairies today, then really moody this afternoon and EVERYTHING annoyed me more then it usually would.
It got to mid 30's here today. It's hot, I know. Our house stays cool until about midday then kinda heats up a bit, but we get a breeze so it's ok. As you already know I feel like bad for Bubbablue cause we don't have a/c. We have fans going and I do other things to keep cool too, you know the drill I'm sure..
But I'm sick and tired of my dad coming over here and complaining about the heat and/or making comments like "it's hot here. It's just perfect 'round home." GRRRRRRRR
He says it everytime he's here lately. It's not like we invited him around either so it's not like he HAD to leave his a/c house. He doesn't listen when I snap back either, but tonight I said it anyways.. I'm like "We'll get one, one day and If your buddy didn't rip us off and double the original quote for the paint and paint over stickers, then we would have one already."
(I'm not sure if I told you all before we got the house quoted for a paint job before we moved in. A good friend of my dad. He was giving us a great deal. He didn't rush either and we didn't expect him to since it was a 'mates rates' type thing. He never updated us on the price or anything throughout even though he'd know it was going to cost more, I'm sure. Then at the end he's like doubled the original quote after he'd done it all. He didn't even give us an option whether we wanted him to do things to make it over the original amount. Then there were patches he's missed and parts that only have one coat. He's also painted over stickers on the ceilings in not 1, but 2 rooms. We should have gotten it as a written thing but we know him too and he's doing everything with my dad so we didn't think he'd rip us off. Everytime I hear his name it makes me so so mad. )
Back on with my dad.. He's always complaining about things and making little comments here and there. I already know I'm not as good as "the golden child" so stfu and move on. I'm sick of it.
Sorry about my rant. Also sorry if it doesn't make sense. Again I'm not fully with it.
I'm glad as soon as the sun goes down here it cools down. I hope you girls in Melb get a break with the heat soon.
xx

Oops. Double post. I'm sorry.

Oh Tenny I was just thinking today Elijah must be starting school this week! That is fantastic he liked it! I can't imagine what I'll be like when Jayden goes! OMG about your Dad's mate! I would be fuming too! I would make him come back and fix his dodgy work or make sure ppl know he's dodgy! Its frustating when ppl come to your house and complain huh? We have had that too but because it was cold and this was someone from Melb! You'd think they'd be used to it
Jayden's lip looks awful! When he shows ppl he pouts his lip and sooks a little saying it hurts, I don't think it does though....he brushed his toothbrush over it this morning which didn't hurt him. Not really sure if Ash said mummy or not, CHN shot me down today when I told her and said that Ashlea probably wasn't referring to me but just making a sound....that could be but the way she said it!
Missy: Ooo I missed your post earlier, how come Callum's having a party? How fun!
Mez: Oh no having no power on a day like today!!! That is awful! Glad its back on now, has the temp dropped much? I could never handle Melb weather, the cold was too cold and the heat was too hot and suffocating.....And I had lived there all my life!
Sweetpea: Poor Reaghan getting exhausted! Pools are great for that though, if I need Jayden to sleep early at night we go swimming during the day. How does Reaghan like the water? 7mths!! Time goes way too quick! Is she the last baby for you? I'm sad Ashlea is already 6mths old as she will be my last (planned baby
Not much to update for us since my last post a few hours ago hehe, we had hungry jacks for dinner....I know you are all dying to know thatI'm a bit bored.......got HEAPS to do, I just don't want to do it haha I should feed Ash and go to sleep. Ash gets her 6mth shots tomorrow, Jayden will be coming with me so that should be interesting....I hope he doesn't touch her or poke her while the needle is in

Hi all,
Hope you are all coping with the heat around Aus at the moment.
Tannis: Reaghan loves the water, she had a ball. Yes she is the last for us with 7 children in total between dh and I this is it. Reaghan was an ours, so there are his her and ours. And there will be no accident ones dh had the snip when Reaghan was 8 weeks old, we got the all clear that it worked 2 weeks ago.
Tennykins: Reaghan usual eats around 1030 in the morn and is eating jarred food at the moment as she only eats around a 3rd of a jar, but the vegies and meat and some times fruit ones. Thats a shocker about the painter to.
To everyone else hope you are all good.
