Hey folks, just doing a quick pop-in to say hi
Kel hope the move goes well
Mez, good to hear Izzy is sleeping through again, half your luck! We have 2 wake ups usually, but most of the time its ten minutes feed and back to bed. The other night I was so dead tired I didn't even hear her crying and the Bear brought her in to me!
Tan love the gorgeous photos of Ash on the beach.... Ash, you norty girl, stop keeping your mummy awake!
SW - mwah to you and your little livewire!
Mel - same to you and your two (and a half)
Missy
Well our BIG news is we are going to New Zealand!!!
For two weeks, we have hired a motorhome so we are going to drive all over the place! We are picking it up in Christchurch and dropping it off in Auckland 2 weeks later... we got a great deal! soooooooooooo excited, and lots to organise but I can't wait!
No other real news here, Beth is a kamikaze baby at the moment, constantly falling over and hurting herself... pulls up on everything, tries to walk without holding on (it doesn't work) is constantly agitating for someone to hold her hand so she can go somewhere. She is grabbing at everything, wants to be picked up and as soon as I pick her up, she wants to get down again. I try to just hold one hand while she walks now, if I hold both she takes off at a run! It's exhausting!
to all, gotta go!

Well our BIG news is we are going to New Zealand!!!

YAY!!! I *might* be a little jealous

When are you going?

[Tannis]

SW: Thats great Alyssa is going great with the BM, food is fun until their 1 as they say. With her eczema flaring up with dairy, how does she go with you having dairy? Or are you dairy free too? I was looking in Jayden's book and he was clapping in command by this age, Ashlea isn't doing it yet....I think because I don't get as much one on one time with her than what I did with Jayden as he was doing a lot of things by now that Ash isn't. Alyssa def sounds like one adventurous (sp? can't think tonight haha) little babe! WOW I can't wait to see your new house!!

Mez: Hows bub #2 going? How long until your holiday? Hervey Bay was really good, the drive home was tiring though after 2/3hrs sleep and busy day. We didn't get home until about 8.30pm but the kids slept the whole way which was good.

Pix: YAY for your holiday, sounds awesome!! Would have been better if you were pregnant though LOL. Thats great Beth is almost walking already....I hate the crawling stage!!

No news from us I don't think.....I did think I might have been PG, only the slightest miracle chance that I could have been but I have been doing some really dumb@$$ things lately and that is a sure sign for me...I think its just sympathy symptoms for all the ppl I know who are PG LOL. Anyway AF arrived...late but still arrived and now I have gone on the mini pill so NO BABY SCARES!! I only have 5kgs to go before I am back to pre-Jayden weight so another baby right now won't help that LOL.

Well I better go to bed, Ashlea likes to wake 2 or 3 times a night lately, that and working is exhausting me.....probably should be sleeping now instead of being on the computer!

[thepixie]

SW we are leaving on Saturday!!!! can't wait!!
Tan I hear you on the waking up factor... its exhausting me too and I'm not even working (and I don't have another kidlet to run after). Crawling stage - what's that? LOL Beth doesn't crawl, it just doesn't occur to her as a way to get around....
picking up her passport today
to all!!

HAPPY 9 MONTHS JACOB

Pixie - how exciting picking up Beth's passport it's so cool when they have one hey I hope she sleeps for you I know how you feel Izzy does it too but fingers crossed she is starting to get out of it and sleeping through again. Have a great time in NZ you'll love it we can't wait to see photos

Tannis - Is Ash teething?? cause Izzy was waking every 2 hours cause of her teeth it was very exhausting let me tell you especially since I can't sleep during the day I'm feeling good, have waves of nausea every now and then and things are starting to move around again down there and a little uncomfy but all good.

Mel - Hey sweet how are you doing?

to everyone else.

[Jewel]

Afternoon everyone!

Happy 9 months, Jacob!!

Pixie - OMG! New Zealand!!! That sounds so exciting. Travelling around in a motorhome thingie... That's a great way to see things, I think. Wowie! Go Beth and her walking and running. We're having alot of spills here too. Luckily no marks or brusies.. yet.
I know what you mean about wanting to get picked up, and then when they're up they can't wait to get down. It's frustrating.

SW - Wooohooo about your house and the kitchen! It all sounds really awesome. Hopefully the year flys by and your house will be all done and you'll be in it.
Alyssa is such a cutie. We had the same issues with food and lumps and purees. He hated them. We went straight to finger foods and it's been smooth sailing for us. I hope getting her to eat whole meals again goes well. I'm sure it will. I'm glad to hear sleeping is better for you guys. Awh, waving to the cats. That's adorable.

Tan - OoOo. Pg scare. I've been doing a heap of silly things lately too. I don't get why and I'm not pg either. Congrats on being almost to your pre-1stbaby weight. Wooohoooooooo!!!

and stuff Mel, Mez, Feeb, Belle, Zee, Kristy, Kell, Missy and everyone else.

As for us:
I've had a really clingy, whingy bubba for the past few days. Today was actually the best mood he's been in all week. I got some of the housework done while he was quiet and not following me around whinging. It's been spit city here + reallllll rosy cheeks.
He thinks standing up on everything is fun, especially pulling himself up on the back on my legs while I'm making dinner.
He now waves on command, but only to certain people that he sees alot. I've finally got him to wave DS1 off to school. YAY! I was more excited then DS1 was. Hahaha!
He's right into giving kisses lately. Spitfilled kisses.

Right now the boys are chasing each other up and down the hallway, laughing.

Happy easter to all.

Just a quick one because I thought this was very cute!

btw - AWESOME pics in FB, Tan!! You really should take up baby photography - you have such an eye for it.

[ShootingStar]

HELLO!!!!

Im back! Yay!
Wow the last week went fast hey! But we're all in our new house! And it is soooo awesome! I absoolutely love it as does Jesse. Hes just so impressed with his new house. Loves his sandpit and cubby house and big under cover area to ride his bike! Not to mension his play room!
Keiras doing really well. Both kids have gone through the move as if nothing had happened. They both settled in without any problems at all. Keira FINALLY has a tooth! Woot. Just the one. But man is she a miss cranky pants lately. Take something off her and watch out! She lets you hear about it.

Will catch up at a later date.. am soooo buggered going to bed now.

Hope everyone is well.

Today marks one year since FIL passed away. Would give anything for him to have met Alyssa even just once. I think he would be proud.

Can't sleep =\
