HAPPY SEVEN MONTHS HAYDIE!!
wow the months are just whizzing by....
Beth is sooo much better today it's incredible. She is not a fan of the antibiotics she is on but she needs them for a while yet.
Sorry for no personals but got to run and get on with dinner
big s Tannis, Mel, Kel, SW, and everyone
Tenny: Both kids slept well, Ash woke at 5.30am for a feed then straight back to sleep until about 8.30am and Jayden woke at about 8am.
Pix: Great to hear Beth is getting better, what AB's is she on?
Went swimming this arve with the kids, JAYDEN SWAM BY HIMSELF!! Not much but he still did it, very proud of him since he hasn't been much lately. Ash loves the water, I wanted Chris to take pics of her and me in the water but he wouldn't Ash was so exhausted, she didn't finish her dinner and she fell asleep sitting up while I was changing her, poor thing.
Tenny - we too are still struggling with the sleeping patterns in this household. But I guess it's getting better slowly...
Pixie - so glad that Beth is getting better good to hear.
Tannis - Woohoo on Jayden swimming on his own that's wonderful. Too bad that Chris wouldn't take a photo of you and Ash, LOL on Ash falling asleep on you Izzy never does that..
Us - not much really going on here, Izzy is enjoying her shrimp classes which is really good. I have decided to make Izzy's Christening cake so next weekend I'm going to do a trial run to see what it's going to look like and taste lol.
A BIG to everyone, hope you all have a great weekend.
sorry no personals we have had a big day and i'm buggered gunna go clean the bathroom and get an early night.
today we went on the captain cook top deck lunch cruise. it was awsome mum baby sat and john and i enjoyed a day together kid free, we even had conversation that didn't involve the boys OMG. it was awsome.
but guess what!!! went into the twins room this morning could smell something rotton turned on the light and sebi 's nappy had broken and there was poo all over him and the cot. it was the absolute worst thing to clean up at 6am...couldn't believe it but he did enjoy his early morning bath.
Tenny: Hope you get some sleep soon! I hate being sleep deprived but I bring it on myself most of the time!
Mez: Whats shrimp classes? Swimming maybe? haha sorry. Ash doesn't normally fall asleep like that either, although in saying that she is getting better again with her sleeping. WTG at making Izzy's cake! I made a going away cake for my niece, but after Kell & Kristy's cakes I'm not going to post mine LOL its so bad!! Tasted AWESOME though (carrot cake).
Kristy: What a fantastic day you had! Chris wouldnt do anything like that.....and a conversation too wow haha we don't have many of those either. Oh no poor Seb!! Poor you having to clean it up! Jayden has done that although he was much older and his poo was a little more solid so it wasn't everywhere....dont think it was eary morning either!
Well for those that haven't seen my FB, I entered Ashlea in her 1st (and probably her last) baby comp today (because I am that superficial! ). Ashlea won "Brightest Eyes" which I was wrapt about as Jayden had won the same thing when he was 11mths old....thought she might have gotten the best dressed but I forgot the headband....not to worry, one medal is enough. Also won a boys TT'ing kit (Valued $45) in the raffle, Jayden LOVES IT!! It comes with a ball to put in the toilet to aim at....he loves to aim LOL.
We have just got home from my SILs place, my niece leaves early tomorrow morning so we went to eat the left over platters from Fri night and played a board game....was great fun. Chris has gone fishing for a few hrs with a mate, who knows what time they will get home, but thats ok kids are asleep and its nice and peaceful! to everyone I missed, hope everyone is well!
It has been awhile since I posted. So Happy 7 months to all the bubs that I have missed.
Kristyj, sound like you had a wonderfull kid free time. It is nice when you can do that.
Tannis, yeah on Jayden swimming on his own, I took the kids to the pool and Reaghan loved it but I forgot the camerra lol. So no photos of first swim.
Reaghan is going really well, eating two meals a day, she has really started to crawl forward now though still slowly. She is holding on to our hands and trying to walk to. She is growing up to quickly for me, being my last. She has been waking durring the night the last few days so hopefully she will settle again soon.
On my front I have got 3 kilos to go to get back to pre preg weight yeah not long, which is good hopefully will be able to fit into my winter clothes soon. Though stillhave 20 to go to get to goal weight.
Tannis - woohoo on Ash winning brightest eyes comp, I will have to check out your FB hope you have some pics up lol. I'm sure your cake was lovely you should put up a photo.
Sweetpea - yay on Reaghans first swim too bad you forgot your camera I'm sure you'll get lots of pics of her swimming though. Good on you for your weight loss, I have a bit to lose myself but going to the gym so hopefully it will start to go soon.
Kristy - Awww what a nice thing to wake up too... we did that Friday morning she did the biggest poo it went through her pj's and grobag straight into the shower she went lol....
Tan - Congrats on Ash winning 'Brightest eyes'. She's adorable and her eyes are stunning. I bet all the other babies never stood a chance. So exciting that both Ash and Jayden have won it now.
Sweetpea - Way to go on the weight loss. Once you've got to your goal you can start losing mine too, if you like. I'm trying to get motivated lately. I'm half motivated I guess. It's better then nothing. Haha. Sounds like Reaghan is doing really fantastic. It's so scary that it's going so fast, especially when it's your last. We haven't decided if we're having anymore or not.
Mez - Happy 7months to your gorgeous girl! Good luck with the cake making. I'm sure it'll be fabulous. I hope sleeping isn't too bad for you guys either.
Kristy - What a mess to wake up to! I had a morning like that with DS1, but instead of leaking out of his nappy he took it off himself. It was everywhere. Such a great smell to wake up to in the morning. (sorry about the TMI.)
Sounds like you and your DH had an awesome time out by yourselves. Must have been really nice to just have your own time together kidless.
and Mel, Pixie, SW, Zee, Belle, Kell, Missy, Feeb, Majella, Bear, and anyone I might have accidently missed.
As for us:
Not much going on. Sleep is still disrupted, but since I'm so tired from it the past few nights I've had really deep sleeps and didn't hear Haydie at all throughout the night so DP has been getting up to him. In the morning I have to ask DP if Haydie woke up. Hahaha. It's kinda like payback.
We've had another tooth cut today. Only just noticed it cause he bumped his chin on DP's shoulder and his bottom teeth cut a little bit of his gums between the top two teeth and blood, etc. So kinda when he bumps it or goes to chew on something it starts bleeding.
I'm not all that game to stick my finger in his mouth these days. He bites really hard and won't let go. It's his new thing, I think.
Sitting is good when he feels like it.
He's also been up on his knees and toes alot lately. He's doing the little backwards crawl dealio, if you know what I mean. DS1 did it. It's kinda funny.
I'm going to go search for this bra online since BNT didn't have it in black. The chick made out I was stupid for asking for it in black.

no personals, gotta get back to my non-stop baby!! Just wanted to say hi, still here, still reading (occassionally), cakes look AMAZING, babies look even more amazing, and happy 7 months to all these little babies that either have or are about to reach that milestone! Kinda depressing that it's going so fast.
Alyssa is doing really well. 7.2kg as of her last weigh in about 2 weeks ago. Pulling to stand against EVERYTHING including flat surfaces such as doors and walls, and has been taking a few steps on her own against the couch or various toys (cruising). Is currently standing against our TV cabinet, pulling toys out of the toy box and crying because she hit her head against the TV cabinet (but still getting toys out anyway). She waves on command, and that is incedibly cute. Much less frustrated now that she can get herself around, and change position at will. She has just cut the two bottom front teeth, so we're about to start learning about breastfeeding and teeth. And she had her first cold last week. Think that just about covers what we've been up to!! Oh - she HAS to have her hair tied up pretty much all the time now as it is so long that se can't see otherwise.
SW - Sounds like Alyssa is doing fantastic! She's so clever. I bet she looks so adorable with her hair tied up. Way to go with the waving. I can't wait for Haydie to do that. I think it's so cute when little bubbas wave. Hehehe. YAY on the teeth! I hope they didn't cause too much trouble and disruption for you all. I hope the BFing + teeth go ok. Good luck with that.
Missy - I hope the boys get better soon. Poor little Liam. It sucks when they're sick and it takes a while to get over. We've only just got over Haydie's cold here. It took a while for him to shake the awful cough. I'm praying DS1 doesn't bring home anymore colds or whatever from school until we're all back to full health. Lol.
Hey everyone else. <3
Today we got the 6month immunisations, and I got my last gardasil shot aswell.
For the first time in both my children's lives, I held him while he got his shots (only cause I had to). Lol. I'm such a baby.
He only cried for like 3secs each time too. If he had screamed and all that jazz I probably would have cried or something. I'm so so so proud of him and of me too for holding him.
BI'm baking for DP's birthday tomorrow. He wanted me to make him a Caramel Slice.
Better go check on it in the oven.
phew.... well it's been a few days since I've been here, we've all been sick and I've been running round like a chook with its head cut off but we all seem to be on the mend now.
Quick news for us YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I got a RAK!!!! I'm so excited! Not sure who the wonderful person is that did this for me (although I have one or two ideas) .... the Bear is acting like he knows but not sure.
And we got a cot yesterday because Beth has been waking up at night all twisted around in her hammock and can't roll back over. Tried it last night and she slept from 9 to 6am which is great! When we got it put together I put her in it and in less than 30 seconds she had pulled herself up on the bars Anyway some new pics here , will probably put some new ones on FB today too (although probably the same ones)
right.... now for some quick personals before Teletubbies finish!
Tenny babe how did your caramel slice turn out? hope H is sleeping better
Missy hope your boys are getting better, it's a nightmare when everyone is sick!
Mez babe HAPPY SEVEN MONTHS IZZY!
SW snap on the standing in the cot! I'm jealous of A's beautiful hair though - does she still have blond tips? Beth still only has a comb-over LOL
sweetpea go Reaghan on the crawling!
Tan honey that gorgeous baby of yours was always going to be a winner!
Kristy on the nappy!
Everyone else and big gotta scoot!
Well Reaghan is not only crawling everywher but pulling to stand and starting to cruise the furniture.
ThePixie, I had to set up my cot today as Reaghan kept rolling onto her stomach and getting stuck in the Hammock. I have put her in there for her afternoon sleep, she played for 30 min but I think she finnaly went to sleep, she has gone quiet but I don't want to open the door to find she is awake, lol.
to everyone else, sorry no personals. Jayden has just fallen asleep and we are about to go to SIL's for a swim. Ash is velcro baby yet again, can't do anything without her being on my hip...although *touchwood* she is on her playmat where Jayden is sleeping and entertaining herself.
Well done to the bubs that are standing and cruising!! I can't believe everything happens so quickly!!
Oh SW I'm jealous of A's hair too, like Beth Ashlea just has a comb over still.
Whats new for us. Hmmm..
Kids are just getting over the flu.. agaaaaaaaain. Oh the joys of starting preschool!
Keiras now sitting full time FINALLY. Strange girl. Started sitting and crawling a few months ago and then said, nah stuff this, i think ill be lazy for a while lol.
Went out with Kristy and the kids yesterday and got some of those dress up photos of them. Oh im so proud of my kids, i cant wait to see their photos. Keira was dressed in a little fairy outfit.. she looked so adorable. Then did a group shot of them both in a box with teddies.. then Jesse was on a motorbike.. oh he loved that. Going to get pro photos of Keira on Friday in her Naming Day dress. Cant wait for that too!
Keiras starting to get better with the solids. Have given her rusks and arrowroots and shes going well on them. Still gags a little on lumpier solids so she may skip that lumpier stage and just go straight to finger food i think. Will keep her going on puree aswell for the time being as i dont think she wont get enough just on finger food yet. Dont want her to starve now! lol
Keiras become very much a mummys girl. When shes crying or tired or upset.. she wants no one but me. Will carry on until she gets me and then is fine. Cheaky miss.
Sweetpea.. oh yay on the cruising.. wow they move fast hey!
Pixie.. congrats on your RAK! I paid for my membership a week before they announced it.. so annoyed! lol.. though i think the person i would give it to knows who she is. If it wasnt so damn expensive id just buy one for them.
Tenny.. aww i have Keiras needles tomorrow. You did well hun. Its horrible hey watching them cry, but it is for the best. Woohoo for toothie pegs! we're still toothless here lol.
Missy.. hope the boys get better soon.. seems to be going around.
HAPPY 7 MONTHS MISS IZZY!! & HAYDEN
Tan.. oh woohoo well done Ash on her brightest eyes! thats great! And your raffle win! Go buy a lotto ticket now woman, these things happen in 3's!!! YAY on Jayden swimming by himself! Clever boy!
Kristy.. eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
Well i best be off.. Kids are going wild.
Have a lovely day.
wow if we were in a real room you could hear a pin drop.........its oh so quiet.......
ok well it seems everyone is getting sick or just getting over being sick, oh the joys of this stupid hot/cold/humid weather. HOPE EVERYONE IS FEELING BETTER SOON.
Tannis- thanks mate we did have a great time on the cruise hopefully once the parties and things we have planned this year are all over we can start to afford to go out for dinner or lunch a little more often. its actually hard work to be able to get organised to go out but well worth it.
Pixie- beth is so cute in those pics. she looks like she likes the water. Ike loves the water but haven't taken the twins yet. i do need to get them active tho, might think about doing a baby gym with them to help them with balance etc. if i find time.
sweetpea678- nither of my boys are any were near crawling yet. yay on the cot. doesn't it make them look small again.
Missy- hows it going at the gym, i need motervation atm.
we have just been busy cleaning and gardening and getting ready for Isaac's party on sunday and then the twins naming day on the 14th. it seems like endless work. i mowed the lawns on sunday and now they need another mow before this sunday.
i still cant believe my baby is 2....oh he is growing too fast.
twins doing well, nothing much as far as an update tho. caleb is about 10.6kg and sebi is 8.7kg. they both eat heaps, and sleep well. not much movement yet, just rolling over.
