Babies Born July 2006 #9

Happy Birthday to all the bubs that have turned one!!

Just a quick one from me - Oma passed away on Saturday morning. Luckily I was there with Mum and Aunty Yvonne. Her 4 girls by her side - Mum, Aunty Yvonne, me and Danielle. She passed away peacefully so that's the main thing. I'm OK - just taking things slowly. Her funeral is on Thursday.

I also quit my job on Friday so this Friday is my last day so that's a weight off my shoulders too. Not much else to report. Just Danielle walking more and more and getting very confident.

I'll chat up with you all soon.

Kelly - are you planning on being a sahm now or was this just a temp move until a good part time position rolls around?

And a HAPPY B-DAY to Dylan!

Rob - not 100% sure yet. I know after a while I'll get bored again at home but now Danielle is moving around and playing it might not be the case like when they are 6 months old and do pretty much nothing. At the moment I just don't feel like working so maybe a little of each. I've got my husband's business that I have ben neglecting so I might just stick with doing his bookwork for now.

well cool, hope it works out. Not sure how "crafty" you are, but you might have alot of fun as Danielle is more and more interactive doing fun things together and making things for daddy, etc. I know heidi did that type of stuff with our first born but time seemed to steal that away with the other children. I used to get real cool things that my baby girl made me :)

Hi all. Happy birthday to Dylan and happy birthday for tomorrow to Charlie and Charlotte.

Does anyone know what happened to AJ? I can't remember. Was just looking over the old July group mobile list. Ethan turned one on the 15th.

Also what happened to Cyn (Boisey)?

Anyway Cooper had a great birthday. There are photos and vids on the links in my sig below plus an update on his Totsite if anyone wants to have a look.

Cooper's birthday party is this Sunday. I can't wait!

Hi All,
Had a busy week with all the grandparents here.
Also had last booby feed with Ben last week - was a bit sad. Upside is if and when I fall pg I will have a little more energy.
Not sure where I am there: had some spotting yesterday and today and my period isnt due for another week... have had sore boobs but think that's more to do with weaning...also had a sharp pain on lower rhs two nights ago (before spotting). I'm trying not to read anything into it... so hard not to think it might be......:confused:
Happy Birthday to all those Beautiful Babies.
Ben's is next week. Sorry to say I'm not jumping on the birthday Party express...I'm going to wait 'til next year when he can enjoy it... not to say I wont have a glass of something nice to congratulate mtself on a job well done!;)

ah we gave Corban a mini cake to destroy. He really didn't eat much of it, just mashed it up and smeared it around, etc. good photo opportunities which is really all it is about at that age!

Hi everyone,

Quick posting from the other side of the planet - Sarina & I are visiting my parents in the UK currently with DH at home in Melbourne. She's missing him heaps but we webcam everynight and they play and talk to each other. Still not walking, but climbing stairs and cruising a lot. Loving the attention from my family!

Luckily no morning sickness to speak of and i'm able to sleep in every day as mum is playing with Sarina from 6am so i can rest. I'm quite aenemic so it's great to be able to rest. Wish i could bring her home with me! I've now told all my friends and family and mum's about to book a ticket out for March next year to look after me when bubba #2 appears. It all seems so surreal still!

Hello everyone. I was hoping to join you all. My son Lachlan was born on July 6 2006. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. He started walking at 11 months and cut his first tooth a day before his birthday. Would be great to get to know other July mums.

Welcome lachsmom! My son was born the day after yours but he was the opposite in that he has been cutting teeth for a while before his bday and really didn't start his walking much until his bday.

Glad you joined!

Hello everyone,
May I start with I'M SOOOOO TIRED I DESPARATELY NEED SLEEP!!!!!:(
Kyana is turning one on Friday and I just feel like we've gone full circle back to waking throughout the night, I know it's not her fault she is cutting about five teeth at once and she has sore ears and all the yucky ususal things that can come with the teething process that all the GP's love to say is totally unrelated my poor baby is so sad atm and I don't blame her cause so am I. DH tells me everyday that he'll get up to her but every time he does it's no help to me cause all he does is complain about it and say her cry is ear piecing so I'd just rather do it myself than feel like he is not giving her the comfort she clearly needs.
I have been giving her Nurafen before sleep to help abit with the inflammation and then sometime follow up panadol through the night but nothing works she's just miserable. Her ear had wax coming out of it yesterday and my mum and DH were both like "oh yeah that's ok cause she has a sore ear and like I'm over reacting with it cause I want to take her to the dr's to check it out...anyway's now I'm rambling.
I should be feeling happy cause her birthday is this week but I need sleep and I've no doubt she does too. Cause I am having a little party for her at my place on Sunday just family but we have a big family so it's still gonna be a busy one so i hope she's feeling better by then.
All I seem to do on BB is complain so sorry about that all and hope your little people are doing well.:)
xxdd

dd - poor little girl. I know how you (and dh) feels. And I assure you, my tired wife can Really relate to you right now! lol. My boy gets dosages of infant motrin and teething tablets. Sometimes it helps a bit.

Not sure whats going on, but he was an absolute bear until his nap today (this was a continuation of yesterday) and is already getting cranky again.

I couldn't leave it after Monday I took Kyana to another GP only to be told she has a ruptured ear drum and an infection in the other ear! I just knew there was something else going on she is on medication including ear drops and she has slept two nights in a row!!!!! But I still haven't slept cause now I'm sick with a cold....it nevers stops even when it does...lol!! That's ok though I can handle that and so can DH we're all alot happier now.
Thanks for listening and your thoughts Rob. What are infant Motrin and I didn't even know there was such a thing as teething tablets??
Hello Lachsmum, the year did just disappear my Kyana is turning one tomorrow and I just can't believe it she's walking/running and playing with her sister and really just fully interacting with the whole family it's wonderful but moving soooo quickly.
dd

infant motrin is something like ibprofrin for infants, and we can buy both products in stores like walmart, probably target, etc.

Ya, Happy Birthday Freya!!

Hi all...well all the 1st birthdays will just about be over now...how exciting now they are all 1!! Now come the years of toddler tantrums etc. That is always fun!

Ky's birthday was really nice. He had a ball and got lots of nice pressies which he is having so much fun playing with...but so are my girls, which is kind of cute because we are so used to Barbies and Bratz and dollies/teddies etc iin this house, so Tonka trucks and train sets have been a real treat!! My sister got Ky this gorgeous ball blower thingy (made by playskool, I think) that he just loves. He spends ages in front of it watching the balls pop out and then chases them around the floor giggling and racing to put them back in. What a great toy!!

Hope everyone elses birthdays were great too.

Ky did his best nights sleep ever last night, but I am not getting too excited or getting my hopes up. He went to sleep at 7, woke at 11 for a quick feed and then slept through till 5.30am, quick feed and then slept till 7am...that is just fantastic for him. I did leep out of bed at 5am after I hadn't heard from him since 11pm, thinking the worst (as you do), but of course he was fine. I was so proud...even though he should have been sleeping through a loooonnng time ago :lol:

Anyway, gotta do the school run, so will catch you all later.

Hi all

A quick update.

Cooper's been pretty good sleeping lately. Having long 2 hour naps which is great. Although his naps are daycare are pretty short. Also he's sleeping until 6.00 am a lot now instead of 5.00 am. So much better!

He's standing alone a lot more today too. And waving his arms around while he does it. He gets so excited. Then he bends at the knees and sort of leaps - like he's trying to jump! OMG he's going to be trouble I think. He loves flinging his head back at the moment. Not just during tanties but even while playing. Or he stands in an arch - feet on the floor and head on the floor with bum up in the air!

Last night it sounded like he said "duck". Very cute!

I'm still BFing. Just morning and night now. He has cow's milk at lunch but doesn't drink much (straw cup). He's eating okay at the moment but I don't expect it to last long. Most of the time he loves throwing food on the floor!

we are trying to incorporate some cows milk into corbans diet as well. I guess he will drink some whole milk but hates 2% ...lol.
