Babies Born July 16th ~31st 2008 #9

Heyoooo chickies,

Wow its been a while since ive been on... lol.. though theres not much been happening. Guess we all get that with babies!

For those who havent seen, Kristy and i took some photos of our kiddies yesterday. I have put Keira's up on Facebook: Facebook

Keiras doing well. Not much news. She ate some couscous tonight which is a huge achievement for her. Shes still been having her issues with lumps and gagging and throwing up. Have discovered the way around it is to distract her while shes eating. Sounds weird but if she is playing with a toy or watching Jesse do something while she is eating, she doesnt gag and will chew up any lumps. If shes thinking about it, then thats when she gags. Weird i know but seems to be working.

Mez.. good to hear miss Izzys doing so well and is over her cold.

Missy.. sorry youve been having a bad time, hope things pick up soon.

Pixie.. great to hear Beth is getting better at night.

Tan.. i hope everythings ok and you dont stay away too long!! :hug: lol thats a classic Jayden and the paper roll. Some people need to mind their own business hey. lol on him locking the play ground too!!

Mel.. great stats for miss M!

Tenny.. oh i know... whatever Jesse brings home both Keira and DH get. Touch wood im yet to catch anything! Woohoo for all those toothy pegs!! Keira still just has gums lol.

Well best go change this stinky boy's nappy before he goes to bed.

Hope all is well.

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a good week.

Reaghan is doing new things nearly everyday, she is really into to pulling to stand and trying to walk her latest is to crawl on feet and hands looks really funny. She is eating at least twice a day now and winges if I am to slow with the food, she likes me to feed her more than her feed herself with baby led stuff.

I got her weighed on Wednesday for 8 months.

7 months - 8 months

weight 7.390kil 7.770kl (dressed so 7.5)
length 64cm 66cm
head 44.5cm 44.5cm

She has also settled into her cot really well, last night slept from 630 till 5 this morn feed and back to sleep till alarm went of at 7 to get older kids up.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Hey all

Sweetpea great stats hun. She is doing very well.

Ive been meaning to get Liam done but just havent had the time.
He is crawling now and is into everything. Very cute. He eats 3 meals a day and has some things we have like abit of cheese here and there, yogart, toast, sandwich, loves peaches and has chicken, lamb, beef and im yet to give him some fish. Not sure if I can at this age??? He has said his first word, "mum" yay. Ive been saying mum mum mum for about a month now and he finally said it...hehehe. He copies what I do, Ill shake my head and he does it too. I go grrrrrr and lol and he will do the same. He is growing up so fast.

Yep Kell I hope my fam is well soon. Been sick for abit and just alot going on here.

Pix the standing bit is so scarey. I remember that stage with Melissa and Callum. Liam is standing holding onto me and pulls himself up on me but I dont let him do it on the furniture yet. YAY on the sleeping!!


Arimeh good stats too hun.

Ayapi what a porker...she is soooooooooooooooo beautiful. I think liam is around that mark too. Well feels like it...lol

Best be off :hello: to tenny, tas, tan, SW, belle, zee, Majella, kristy and anyone else ive missed

Oh hiiiiiii!
I hope you're all having a great weekend. I was going to post the other night but I only got as far as changing my ticker. Haha.

Happy 8 months Jacob!
I hope you're being a happy little vegemite for your mummy!

Pixie - Awh, I bet Beth looks so cute with the no hands thing. I reckon she'll be taking a few steps relaly soon and by pass the crawling. What do you think?
Great to hear sleeping is better. I hope it's still going good in the cot. Haydie goes to bed at around 8 too. We used to have troubles with him waking casue he's be head butting the end and when he was first rolling over in his sleep but no he's used to it.

Mel - Great stats Miss M has! YAY! Adorable new photos on FB too!! How's the business going? I hope it's all going smoothly and well.

Tan - :hug: I hope you're all doing well.

Missy - Great to hear the news about your Mum's cancer. That's awesome. I'm so sorry to hear about your BIL. :hug:
Cute Video & pictures of your kiddies on FB. I'm glad you've all over your colds and stuff too. Sorry to hear about your friends father aswell.
Way to go with Liam's eating. Awh, How cute that he said mum. Here we get "Ummumum" sometimes. He just smiles and laughs at me when I go "mum mum Mum" to him.

Sweetpea - Great stats Reaghan has aswell. Good work with settling well into her cot. I hope things are still going well with her sleeping too.

Kell - The photos looked fabulous! Keira looks so happy in all the photos. I love her dress. I'm glad she's doing better with the lumps in food. Is Jesse still loving preschool?

Kristy - The new photos of the boys on FB are adorable! Love the dimples. I used to wish I had dimples. Haha.

Feeb, Mez, Tasia - The photos from your meet up the other day look great. You all look really gooooooood!

:hello: Belle, SW, Zee, Majella, Bear and anyone I might have accidently missed.

As for us.
I've been a bit MIA lately. Been rather down too. DP isn't helping. I tell him how invisible I feel and he says nothing back.
Haydie has been so clingy and whingy and everything lately.
I'm also sick of his laziness. Why is it that when I clean up I can do it all by myself, but when he does it I have to help him and be involved??? Anyone elses DP/H do that???

Got Haydie weighed on friday. He's a heavy little porkie.
Weight: 10.10kg
Length: 72.5cm
Head: 46cm
He's following the same curve he's always been on, so it's all going good. I actually thought he'd have been heavier. He'll probably have another growth spourt soon and pack more kgs on. Lol. I think he's still a little lighter then what DS1 was at when he was that age.
We got the nice MCHN and she is happy with how everything is going.
Food is going well with us too. Haydie thinks that everything we eat, he should have too even if it's just a cup of coffee. Lol.
Also been introducing some meats and whatnot. He's going really well with that too.

Sorry, it's such a long post.
I needed to catch up.

:grouphug:

xox

Hey Ten
Thanks hun. Yep Liam is just started to say bub last night. I was having a night off from the kids and Matt came in with him and said check this out. It was very cute.
Yay on bubbablue and his eating. wow those stats are so good. I might try and get in soon to see how Liam is.

Happy 8 months Jacob and happy 7 months sweet Beth

Just a quick one from me....
My little bubba is 7 months old today.... I can't believe how fast it's going... I have to go back to work in a few months :crying:
Well, we had a busy weekend, went camping, it was good but a lot of hard work, especially as I had some bad nights just before we went so I have been a bit of a zombie. We bought a portacot (p&t traveller) but she wouldn't sleep in it at night because it was too cold. but other than that it was good.
I have to get her shots done - I have been putting it off because she's been sick for weeks but she seems better now.... And I have to get back to the gym, it's been weeks since I went to the pump class because she has been sick, I've been tired etc. skipped it again today, slacker I am. Beth is not interested in crawling, cracks it if you put her on her tummy and just rolls over! Good to see all those other little bubbas have got it down pat!
Tenny - hear ya hun! great stats for Haydie... will update Beth's when I take her for her 6 month check.
Missy we have foam pads under the rug, and I set up pillows and bolsters around her so there is a soft fall area. unfortunately she is ONLY happy if she is standing up at the moment and I can't stand there all day long!
Sweetpea great to hear the cot is still doing well, ours is too!
Kel - great shots of Kiera and Kristy's are great too....
well better run, :hello: to Belle, Mel, SW, Tasia, Mez and everyone

Happy 7 months BethHappy 8 months Jacob.

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend.
Thepixie, Reaghan is going really well in her cot, settles herself and everything. I still have not got her 6 months inections done yet either, will do it soon.

I went into my work on Friday and informed my boss that I won't be returning full time and will do casual work for them once bub is 12 months old. They were ok with this but sad that I had decided that fulltime was to much as that would mean 10hrs days 4 days a week, and I would hardly get to see bub. Plus childcare here is $75+ a day depending where she would of gone.

Well I hope everyone else is doing really well.

:bluecheer: HAPPY 8 MONTHS JACOB! :bluecheer:

Just quickly popping in to say :hello: Jayden has just informed me he wants to "kill" Ashlea! Too many dinosaur movies I think!

Happy 7mths Beth & Happy 8mths Jacob
....I know I will say this every month but where does the time go?? :cry:

My 1st day back at work tomorrow, really not looking forward to it but will make the most of my "free time" I guess. I have had a horrible headache for 2 days, I'm guessing its just the stress of returning to work.

Cyclone Hamish is getting closer, although he has gone off the coastline a bit now so we will hopefully be ok although I heard today that if it come straight down between Hervey Bay & Fraser Island we are in big trouble. I'm sure everything will be ok and if not lovely Mel has offered to put us up!
Ash is commando crawling really well and saying mum, dad, hewo (hello) dada and just starting to wave when she feels like it. She plays with Jayden now, just trying to kiss him and grab at his face etc.

Kell/Kristy: Photos are awesome!!
Tenny: Hope things pick up for you! :hug: Hayden's doing great!
Sweetpea: Raeghan is doing great too! Glad she likes her cot! Thats great you can go back PT!
Missy: YAY on Liam's 1st word and crawling! Hope your house is getting better now!
Pix: You've been busy! The next few months will go so fast!! :hug: I hate the crawling stage, hopefully Beth will just up and walk one day haha....Ash isn't crawling properly yet, I don't want her too either cause I won't be able to put her in her pretty dresses!

Oops sorry longer than I thought, oh well least I got most of the personals done! Sorry to those I missed :hug:
I'm off to look at the cyclone update....might be offline for a bit when it gets closer if it stays near the coast. Take Care....(in case I blow away LOL)

Just a quick one while dinner is cooking.

Happy 7 months Beth!

Tan - Sorry to hear you're back at work tomorrow. :crying: :hug: I hope everything is ok with the Cyclone.

:grouphug:
xox

Awh, I scared everyone off. :redface:

I hope you're all doing well. Haydie is clingy and whingy most the time lately. He follows me around until he gets sick of me walking past/over him while I'm doing something so he just whinges till I pick him up cause I'm sick of it.
DS1 has been a little terror lately too. Not sure what the go with him is. I just hope both of my boys behave for my brother's wedding on the weekend. :pray:

Also has the site been loading for everyone else? It was going a bit feral for me just before.

:hug:

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Isabel had us up last night from 2am as she woke after throwing up in her bed, so I changed her and the bed tried putting her back down but she wouldn't go down finally did around 3:30am to her waking again at 4:30am throwing up again so this time we both got in the shower as it was everywhere. So I haven't had any sleep since, I've taken her to the Docs and he said it's a virus and if she isn't better by Friday to go back for another check up. Was told not to give her milk today so I am freaking cause she really isn't taking water either. She seems to be better now being her cheeky ol' self...

Tannis - I hope everything was okay with Cyclone Hamish your way! Oh how did you're first day back at work go??

Sweetpea & Tenny - your little ones stats are wonderful, they are growing up so quickly hey.

:cheer: Happy 7 Months to Beth & Happy 8 Months to Jacob :bluecheer:

Kristy & Kell - Your cakes are amazing, wish you both lived in Melb I would definitely ask you both to make our special occasion cakes lol.

There really isn't much happening on here lately hey, we must all be really busy with our bubba's.

A BIG :hello: to everyone else

Hi all

Hope your all well. Its very quiet in here now.

Not much happening here, Ive got a baby shower on the weekend so have to go buy some thing today so out to the shops I go. Callum has been abit naughty, dont know why but do they really need a reason..He has been so good with his TT'ing, has only wet the bed about 3 times of a night and 2 times out of that I forgot to tell him to do wee before bed. Now he will get up and go by himself. I just leave the toilet light on for him. Im so proud of him.

Liam is on the move big time. Crawling all over the place. Ill sit him down and off he goes. He is eating so well. Ive started giving him weetbix and he loves them. He has his dinner ( mashed vebies and meet of some sort) then will come over to use for some of ours....lol ..little piggy he is. Ive given him tinny bits of things like Ice cream if matt is having some, cheese, he loves pasta, as long as its not mashed. he likes to chew it. He still is having 3 bottles but not as much now. Morning bottle is 250mls but the other 2 are only 200mls. One more month (9) and he will be having his solids first. Cant believe he is 1 in 4 months. he is saying mummm, Bubbb bub bub, all the time. has slowed with the mum as he relised that bub is easier...he is such a good sleeper, down in the moring for 1 1/2 hrs and same in the arvo then bed at 6.30pm - 7 and wakes at 7am+. Im pretty lucky I think. Still has no teeth. so much for thinking he had a tooth on boxing day. geeeee, both my other kids had heaps of teeth by now.

:hello: to everyone. Sorry will do some personals this avo.

Hello lay-dees.. been awhile since I popped my head in here.

Not much going on here - same old same old.

Tan - hope you are enjoying work ;) Glad you got rid of all those emails so you could email me, cos lets face it - I'm important..... rofl... ahhh I wish

Missy - yay for TTing - such a good boy. DS isn't there yet, but we aren't rushing things (ie not doing anything) figure he will let me know when he is sick of nappies ;)

Happy 7 month and 8 months all round

Much love to all - gotta have breakfast before Pink Palace drops in this morning with some shoes! *mwah* and :grouphug:

Hey folks
Yeah busy here, went camping over the weekend and that was fun but hard work. We are all STILL fighting this cold, it just never seems to quit. Beth had her shots the other day and has been clingy and a bit feverish on and off since. The Bear's dad was in a skiing accident in Canada and dislocated his shoulder, and broke his arm in a few places. Had to get bolted back together. They are flying back over the weekend. My bro and SIL are expecting their baby any day now (EDD was tues) and they are also in Canada so waiting for that. Other than that, managed to go to an exercise class yesterday, got to try and tidy up today cause having BBQ for MG on Sunday. And I can't do it tomorrow cause I'm getting my hair cut and coloured :leap:
Bear is working from home today and I might take Beth to playgroup when she wakes up from her nap. So that is all that is going on here.
Missy sounds like Callum is doing great with his TT. They're all naughty sometimes I guess! good on Liam with the crawling. Beth is still not into crawling and cracks it if you try to put her on her tummy.
Mez, big big :hug: you poor thing... you must be sooo exhausted. :pray: that Izzy feels better and you all get some sleep.
Tenny I hear ya on the clingy factor. We get a lot of that too, although it might be partly due to being sick. Hope DS1 starts behaving better!
Tan I posted on your other thread, hope it's all still going well, good on you keeping up BFing while working! :clap:
Mel - mwah - give that Pink Palace a big squishy hug from me!
:hello: to everyone else

Hi lovely mummy's

Just popping in to say hello. Not much going on here, ever since Wednesday when Izzy was throwing up we have pretty much had a rough time. She is waking at least 3 times during the night and hard to resettle and I'm getting really frustrated cause of the lack of sleep I'm getting. Izzy is also not into her solids since throwing up which I'm a little concerned about and don't know how to get her to enjoy it again. Isabel has 5 teeth now they just appeared which I'm so happy about.

Pixie - I hope your FIL is okay and you've heard from your Brother about the arrival of their little bundle of joy?

Mel - we have missed you sweet, how is your beautiful Miss M going??

Missy - You are so lucky that Liam is such a good sleeper I wish my little one was just as good, oh well it isn't going to last now isn't she will eventually learn to sleep through the night.

Kristy - I hope your boys naming day went well today, can't wait to see photos of your special day.

A BIG :hello: to Tannis, Tenny, Sweetpea, SW, Feeb, Zee, Tasia, Kell, Belle and anyone I may have missed. Have a lovely weekend all..

Howdy ladies!

Mez.. oh sorry Izzys been sick and youre going through a rough time. Hmm. What i would do is give her something sweet. Something like custard. And if youre feeding her lumpier stuff, id maybe try going back to just the puree to see if she will eat that. Only other thing i could suggest is maybe give her some finger food that she can feed herself. Like an arrowroot or something. But maybe if shes not into it, just give her an extra bottle to get her through the day so shes still getting all the stuff she needs and just take it a day at a time. Poor bubba. She will come good dont worry. But it can be frustraiting hey.

Pixie.. Hope you feel better soon hun. I hate colds.. just so irritating hey. Oh dear i hope your FIL is ok... and youre an aunty very soon!

Tenny.. i hope you had a nice time at your brothers wedding and the boys behaved for you. How'd you go back at work? Yep Jesse is loving preschool still. Have not had one problem with him there yet. They think hes an absolute angel. When it comes to preschool day he cant get out of the house and into preschool fast enough! Im so glad he has such a great time there.

Sweetpea.. thats good your work is happy for you to go part time. I dont ever want to go back to work lol.. though i know i will have to one day.

Thankyou for the comments re Keira's photos and the cakes.
I just made MIL's birthday cake this weekend. She absolutely loved it. I made her a Bundaberg Rum bottle and little Bundy Bear. Photos are on facebook. But yeh she thought it was the best thing ever. So made it all worthwhile making it.

Kristy had the Naming Day for her boys yesterday. Was such a lovely day. The boys were spunks!

Keiras doing well. Starting to get there with the lumpier food and not gagging. Have her on the 7-9 month food and shes doing well. Shes chewing it all up so thats good but she has to have something to distract her while shes eating as if she thinks about it too much then she will gag. Shes sitting up well and has started comando crawling as of Thursday. Shes discovered its an easier way than rolling to get to Jesse's cars.
She looks like she has a tooth coming through. You can see it pushing her gum up and making a lump. But then in saying that it can go back down just as easy. But i like my gummy baby lol. They start to not look like babies when they have teeth.
Um.. what else.. OH. We've applied for a new house! Hoping we get it. Its awesome. Has a big yard which i wanted for Jess. Has a big build in sandpit for him and a wood cubby house! Inside has all the normal stuff, lounge, kitchen etc but also has a little rumpus room for the kids toys. Oh so hope we get it, its gorgeous. Will not be looking to moving but im ready to go from this house. Way too many ****roachs for my liking and have found 2 red back spiders in the last 3 days. One was in the garage, the other was just outside the toilet in our hall way!!!! OMG. And Jesse was just along there not long before i found it too. So yeh really want out now lol. Even though it is a great house.. i want a bigger one and one that is near his preschool. Is closer to DH's work too.

Well.. think ill go work out what we're gonna have for dinner.. and wake up the kiddies. Both are still asleep!

Hey ladies.
I've been a bit MIA again, sorry.

Happy 8 months Liam, Jonathan, and Lulu.
:leap:
I hope I haven't missed anyone. :doh:

The wedding was really good. The weather held out. Haydie was an absolute angel. People think he's never whingy or naughty. Elijah on the other hand didn't want photos, or to dance with anyone. :rolleyes: All in all it was pretty good. All my boys looked so handsome in their suits!!!!

Haydie's been a bit miserable today, I think he's coming down with a cold again, and so am I. Fingers crossed it doesn't develop into anything.
He's comando crawling all over the place and is starting to crawl properly here and there.

On top of trying to get us all organised for the wedding, Elijah got nits. So that was fun. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: After loads of screaming, tears, and all the rest of it we got all of the eggs out so he could get his hair cut.

:hug: to everyone, and every bubba.
