AHHHH!!! stupid page logged me off and then when I tried to copy the original text and refreshed/logged in again and then pasted it, some how firefox or just my speedy mouse work failed to copy all of the text so now I am trying to re-add the first part of my reply while making it flow with the rest. If it does not flow, and something seems to be missing or out of place it probably is and I apologize in advance.
Corban is not yet walking on his own, he will almost run if you let him hold onto your fingers. He will walk himself along the edge of the couch or some other surface like a table, and sometimes he will stand up and not hang on to anything so I feel he is close to walking.
He like cars and trucks and will even make the sounds for them. It has been very interesting seeing the differences between him and his sisters. Watching both my girls over the years has allowed me to see the differences and similarities and I find the differences to be very obvious at times. He has a very big temper and has taken to screaming loudly just for the fun of it as well probably because his sister (my youngest daughter) has been teaching him. He very much wants to be able to go and play with his sisters. Poor little bugger
When he is done eating, if you don't get him out of his chair and cleaned up, he will take his food and even while looking intently at you, he will either hold his hand out over the side of his high-chair and then drop the food very deliberately onto the floor, or he will throw/toss his food. If he has water in his cup and is bored, he will dump it out and then smack it with his hands making water spray all over!

Hi all....hope everyone is well and all bubs are behaving themselves!!! It certainly sounds as if your bubs are all moving around alot more than mine, some will be walking very soon....watch out!!!
Can you believe they will be turning 1 very soon. I can't thnik what to get Ky for his birthday. We already have the big stuff like swings, slides, sandpits etc from the girls, so I was thinking maybe a train set or something.
Fee - good to hear daycare is getting better. How is the EBM in a cup going?? Does he cope without you for those feeds?
Rob - I so hear what you are saying about tossing food and drinks on the floor deliberately. It is funny watching them watch what they have just done. We are now giving Ky 1 thing at a time and waiting till he has finished that before giving him something else. I have learnt after cleaning the floor on too many occassions.
Phoebe's gums seem to be healing nicely, which is a relief. We have an appt with the specialist next week, so I guess we will see what she says. Hopefully her adult teeth will come through without any major probs.
Otherwise business as usual here...we are tackling 40 min nap times at the moment. Ky seems to think he only needs 1 of these a day!!!! Not enough, he is so grizzly by the end of the day. But on the plus side he is sleeping better at night. I guess you can't have it all!!!
hey girls
i just wanted to say hi and tell ya somw great news i brought bailee the cart that has the blocks in them any ways i stood him up to it yesterday and he took off he walked all by his self holding onto the cart he still wont walk on his own but if ya put something with wheels in front of him he is off yay
talk to ya soon
Hayley - I so hear you on the 1 year birthday. Just does not seem possible but then again, my oldest just turned 8 in April and my next to the oldest just turned 6 last week. Neither of which seems at all possible!
well Heidi and I had a nice mini anniversary celebration last night. went to the local grocery store and bought some fried chicken, jojo's, potato salad and Heidi surprised me with a mini-cheese cake and she also had found all of our weeding pieces (glasses, etc.) and so she surprised me with those to go with a bottle of wine. we went down to the river and sat on the bank, eating our dinner and just talking. Was surprisingly better than going out for dinner. Then we came back, played a game of scrabble....................
OK, aside from mum and ded (i assume dad) and some noise he makes for sister, corbans real first word...................DRUM ROLL PLEASE.............................
SPONGE BOB!
we are such horrible parents. I dont know what is worse, a swear word or sponge bob! oh well. and it really is sponge bob cause he says it when he sees a picture of sponge bob or can pick up something that has sponge bob on it. lol
Hi all,
I have a little girl Kyana born on the 27th July I was due in August but had her early due to some complications so I was always by habit going into the August forum but Prob s/b here so anyway, it all seems to have gone quite in there and I like to have a chat every now and then so I hope you don't mind if I come in and join you all in here from now on???
Thanks
xxdd
Welcome. this thread gets really active then stops for a bit then real active again. So hang in there, there will be conversation and I know the others will be glad you joined our group!
Sorry I haven't been around. No details but I lost my bubba so it's just the 3 of us still. I'm OK - just getting on with things.
Just thought I would update you - Danielle walked yesterday!!
I was at the hospital with my Oma and Mum. I walked back a bit and put my arms out for her to walk to me and she did!! About half a dozen steps!! And again last night she walked from me to Ken which was about 4 steps.
She's walking before she's one!!! I'm so proud of her!!
And my SIL is in labour (well Induced labour) at the moment. I want her to hurry up and have it!!
well the little guy is gettig closer and closer to walkig all on his own. We can now sit back from each other and he will take 4 -8 steps probably (depending on how far apart we are) on his own. YA!
sorry about your little bub kelly I am sorry you lost your baby.
congratulations on Danielle walking -how clever is she
my boys are one on Sunday and cruising the furniture but they were a month early so technically still 11 months developmentally. The paed is still correcting their age. Joel can walk behind a pushing toy (fisher price stride to ride) and Sam will crawl and push it - not that keen on walking.
I am in no hurry mind you once they off walking I will be chasing them in two different directions ... ourr twin playgroup has opened to eye to the fun and adventures ahead of me.
hi dd11 - welcome my babies were August 1 babies born 1st July. I ahven't checked august mums for a while.
Oh Lollie - welcome you are amazing ... any signs of the little one arriving early ?
Mads - Freya is so clever learning how to climb stairs and other things.
Dustmite & Mum of 2 beauties - my boys 'peg' (throw for you DM) food all over the floor too and anythign in reach onthe chnage table or even in the cot at sleep time. Most days we only have one lseep and it gets challenging about 4-5 pm when it is too late to nap and too early to bed but a very long arsenic hour ot two.
We are having a family/friends party (about 30 adults and 15 kids or more) on Sunday - the actual day of their birthday.
We are still breastfeeding too.Joel loves his tucker ...eats mostly our meals and everything.Sam eats like a 3rd world child by his own choice ... few grains of rice, now a few spagetti noodles, custard (main food) and puree fruit finally mixed with custard. I sneak yoghurt into custard now too and he ate some the other topped with fruit.
Still no teeth here ... not complaining but we have a feel very day ... they do mine too.
They are good little mates and now have started to laugh and squeal together when playing as well as scream and protest when someone takes a toy off the other or they are squashing each other crawling over the top.
got to go they are out of the pen and up to no good and waiting for breakfast.
Hello everyone, thanks for the welcome.
I hope you don't mind but i thought I might give fill you all in on some details for Kyana a kind of introduction I guess.
Kyana or Keeley (as she seems to be called more and more these days my 3 year decided her name (Kyana Lee) being first and middle names was "too long mummy" and abrieviated for us and now it's seems it's gonna stick) has turned 11 months this week and has shown us her little temper and complains whenever she doesn't get her way.
We've had some issues with Keeley but hopefully that's all behind us - cause I found lump on her and it has been tested and seems beniegn but the RCH are monitoring her every three months now until she's two. plus Kyana is an extremely fussy eater and most days I'm excited if I can breaky into her so I don't even know how she's put on any weight cause she was a chronic reflux baby and is on the bottle with special medicated formula and now I've also got to take her in for some allergy test thing at the childrens hosp in the gastro unit. Kyana's weight is 8.6kgs but I'm not sure if that's good or not she seems so little to me cause she walks and that's odd in itself but I guess it's ok - what are the weights of other babies in here?
Keeley has no teeth yet but has been waking at night so I'm sure their not far off. As I said before Kyana walks and has been since she was 8 months. Kyana crawled for about a week or two and then just got up and literally ran across the lounge room because she couldn't stand by herself so she had to run to keep herself from falling over - so I have an experienced walker on my hands now and she's not even one!
Well that's our story to now.
Kelly, congratulations on Dannielle walking you will have a whole new set of rules needed for the walking but I don't mind it I'm sure we just go with whatever stage our little ones are at and for me it's all good. Kelly, I hope it's ok for me to acknowledge but I would also like to say I'm very sorry for your loss.
Trish, Happy birthday to your boys hope you have a wonderful day on Sunday.
thank you dd31 (hi - I remember you in aug buddies) & Baiza - it has been a busy day but a great one, good weather, good friends and family to celebrate and excellent pressies - but for the mess I could do it again ... at least we have 12 months to recover.
dd31 - I hope Kyana is okay ...sounds scary to have a lump anytime. Sam is 9.5kgs and Joel about 10kg - I think we were due about same time. She is doing well to be walking.
Sam as I think I mentioned barely eats anything - except custard and a little f ruit finally. Chews on bits and pieces then spits it out or sweeps it out with his fingers ... over the floor.
well feeding finished and baby (Sam) asleep so no excuse to be here - DH will not be happy if I don't help !
Hi Everyone,
Haven't posted for ages (October!!)
Thought I would drop back in - hang on will have to come back later - Ben's crying - teeth!
Okay, he's back in bed.
Benny is 11 months old now. He has 5 teeth with one coming through. The buggers like coming down and going back up again!He has a head full of curly red hair which I won't let his dad cut (yet!)He has been sleeping through since 10 weeks (thankyou Goddess!) and is very easy going and placid. I've been trying signing with him for a few weeks and he just started clapping this week and I think he's trying to sign to me - but its mainly clapping and hand waving. He tells me when he can see flowers (sniffs) and this week he started dancing to music. He is so much fun that we are going again. Had my Mirena removed last Monday and it is day 10 of my cycle today...DH is predicting a March 08 bub. I'm not getting excited yet. I'll give it a few months before anything happens.
Anyhoo my plan is to try and post here once a week (at least). I am pretty busy with DS1 and Benny... muggins here opted for cloth nappies and as much as I feel good about it - I am getting sick of using the tumble dryer this week (it is finally raining)
I will try and catch up on the posts and what everyone is doing.

: i'm a mum - I have no more than two minutes to do anything I want. It takes me all day to drink my morning cup of tea.
It's been a while since we've been on too - life just seems to be whizzing by!
Sarina will be 1 yr old on Saturday and we're having a nice afternoon party with some friends and DH said he will bake a cake!
She weighs 8.8kg now and has finally discovered food (started eating 3 meals a day at 10 months 2 weeks)!!! At last! She's still cruising furniture and not walking alone yet, but getting stronger.
She's had croup this last week and now given me a really bad cold so i'm feeling pretty low, dragging myself around the house and not really being much fun for her. Going to try to make some chicken soup to make myself feel better.
Hopefully better for next Monday as we're flying back to the UK for 3 weeks to let my mum & dad play with her. DH has to work though so he's going to miss us.
We have also just found out that Sarina will soon have a sibling! Bubba # 2 is due end of Feb/Beginning March 2008 - so a 20 month age gap. We're both really excited although didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
ya, congrats Roya on the up coming addition to the fam! Glad to hear Sarina is doing well and happy bday to her. I bet your parents are really looking forward to seeing you two for 3 weeks. My parents only live about 4 hours away but hate being away from their grand kids so much. Can only imagine a situation like yours.
