Hi girls!! Nope I haven't fallen off the globe. Been busy, but much like most of you, so I haven't got anything to really complain about. Nothing exciting much happening. Been swimming this week and Pup is LOVING it. Bel, I reckon Coby and Pup are very similar (size, temperament etc..) They would get along famously.
Deb, don't be too hard on yourself honey. You're in a foreign country, have not long worked out the language, had a baby, are pg again, are facing customs that we don't normally do (ie the childcare thing), with a DH that is sometimes away for periods of time....Man. My DH is here every night and I still feel like I haven't got a handle on it all some days and am glad to have a "handover" even if it is just for 30 minutes. You're doing fine!
I have a question for those with bubs that have gone throught the biting stage. How do you handle it? Pup is REALLY biting now and TBH (and this is not a great admission...) he came up and bit me on the arm yesterday and would not let go. So while he was biting me, I bit him back on his shoulder blade through his clothes. But he still didn't let go. I bit harder and so did he!! I ended up letting go before he did and we both had battle scars fromt he experience. He had a red mark on his shoulder blade and I had a raised bruised painful lump on my arm. And then today, he came up and bit me on the back of my arm and nearly took a bit of flesh off! Cripes. I just reacted and smacked his bum (he wears cloth nappies, so the crying was from indignation, not pain), but I know this is going to do squat. What should I do???? Even DH is getting a bit sick of it (since he's started biting him as well). I am wary of him biting other kids as he bites really hard,
I have had our yard measured up for a fence. God, it's going to cost us an arm and a leg (just over $3000 :eek: ) for a pretty straighforward fence. We are getting one of those powder coated picket fences. We live right on the Princes Hwy and the little man has made a break for the yard a couple of times now. Once, I didn't even know he'd gotten outside and fortunately he ended up chasing a chook back to the henhouse rather than going to other way to the highway. DH is lamenting the cost (so am I), but as I said, I'd rather spend the money than run the risk with Pup and the highway. Anyway, it's comign up on nice weather and he is going to want to go outside more often. And now he is walking perfectly ok, he can go outside more. Plus, he is getting a climbing frame thing for Christmas.
Well, that's about it from me. Still in the TWW. Am thinking of doing Christmas cards and using the cows from the show on them (might sit Pup on the cow's back or something????). Actually this was DH's suggestion. Might look ok.!!!
