Babies Born July 2007 #20

Just popping my head up to say hi to everyone. We're just pottering along here, as you do. Liam's 4th tooth has finally put in an appearance, so I'm hoping for a couple of weeks of more sleep & better eating. He's also started crawling properly, although reverts to commando when he's tired, and he's pulling himself to standing on everything. Especially my legs. Which is pretty cute, although sometimes at the end of a long day I could do without the groping IYKWIM. And his new favourite toy is the upside-down washing basket. Typical kid - so many proper toys, and all he wants is the washing basket. Mental head, but pretty funny, he balances up against it and bashes it like a drum. And I think he has a new favourite book. We borrowed "where's spot" from the library and he seems really taken by it, which is great for me, cos I'm so over "where's the green sheep"! Although the love shown for Spot might make me have to go & get a permanent copy anyway. Apologies for no personals today, am just feeling a bit knackered, and to be honest, want to catch up with some TV time now that Liam is in bed.

Hi all!

Pretty buggered here too, and by the looks of the lack of posts it seems everyone's in the same boat! Lucas has had a shocking cold this week and has developed a cough today....his nose is a tap and he HATES me trying to wipe it!! He has been up a number of times a night all this week, cant complain though cos the poor kid cant breathe!! You can imagine what this has done to our already dismal milk drinking!! Not much else to report but i think we have sold our house again, fingers crossed!!

Hope everyone out there is doing ok!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I havn't been in here for ages! But you know how life gets in the way!
Congrats to Tears of Joy and Niadla! Babies and Weddings my two favourite things
I hope everyone else is doing great too!
Quick question- Link doesn't hold his bottle, we hold it for him! He can hold it but he just squirts milk everywhere or chucks it and doesn't drink it! Its frustrating!! Should he be drinking it by himself? Its hard to judge making him drink it himself and getting it into him! I just don't know, plus I like cuddling him and giving him his bottle
I'm so excited cos it looks like Link is up with all the other July babies He does all the things that you are all talking about! He crawls, has two teeth and eats finger food! He has started to hold onto furniture and take little steps sideways I'm so damn proud of him! My little STAR!!!
Well take care everyone, sorry about no personals but its hard to keep up with you all! lol

Nay - Lucas doesn't hold his bottle either...too lazy! But he hardly drinks it when we hold it anyway!!

Nay ~ Link sounds like he is going great, you must be so proud of him. Do you often think back to his NICU days when you look at him? I do that with Lucas. We usually feed Lucas his milk bottles (ends up on the floor otherwise) but we try and encourage him to hold his own water or juice.

Janno ~ Yay on Liam crawling and pulling himself up! Hope you had a nice rest too.

Megan and Sarah ~ Hope the boys colds are getting better.

Nicky ~ I spelt your name wrong before sorry I have a good friend that spells it that way! How is Lachlan?

I'm admiring your decision to have a surprise wedding ATM too Nicky. My original plans of a tiny wedding with only the 3 of us in the south pacific has gone out the window.
Our parents wanted to come (couldnt say no) so we decided on a Lord Howe Island wedding to save everyone getting passports, then our brothers and sisters started talking about coming too so we decided to be done with it and have the wedding here with an island honeymoon. A far cry from our original no fuss plans.

BUT I have found the perfect spot for the ceremony and reception, it is a beautiful beach house on 28 acres and is exactly what I was looking for, for our now 50max guestlist. (If you want to have a look blissbeachhouse.com.au/photos.html).

Bye for now xox

hehe thanks AMM. Yeah lach's going well. The #2's still aren't fantastic but aere better than they were... just dont want to be relying on coloxyl drops, and have his bowel get lazy.

The wedding is coming along well. We have decided to tell parents, as this is the first family wedding and probably the only one for quite a few years, Adam and I are both the oldest.
ANys, Telling mum tonight. Can't wait No other family members know, and no other guests.
We have the venue and celebrant booked, my engagement ring adam found on the weekend, so will pikc that up next week all going well, my friend is making my dress, so going down for first fitting etc next weekend. It's starting to come together. I don;t care if noone but family turns up.... as Long as Adam and I get married, that's ll that matters to me Looking very forward to it though
We organise photographer next week.
Amm - That beach house is gorgeous!!! WOW!


Well Lach's teeth are giving him hell again.... 7th and 8thhave cut through again (albeit on some toys at another mums house... lol.... blood all over the toy). They are only just through, tiny little spikes, but enough to have him pretty cranky.

Oh and he stood on his own for a few sconds the other night! OH NO!!!!!! I don't want that yet! lol

anys, its freezing cold, and I have to get ready to go out. Have a good one all

Hi girls! Not sure if this post is going to work - I think my computer has a virus, it's running super super slow and is so frustrating!
Just wanted to say hi and hope everyone is well.
AMM - the house is seriously gorgeous! I love it and it looks like the perfect spot. I love all this wedding talk! Nicky - you sound nice and organised already - keep us updated. I love weddings!

How is all the day sleeping going for everyone? T seems to be cutting back to about 1 and a half hours in the morning and about 45mins to 1 hour in the afternoon. It seems to be working well though. Sleeping through again, thankgod! The only night he wakes is a Wednesday night when i have been at work that day, I think he needs to fill his cuddle quota!

The little muffin is awake so no time for any more personals. Everything is going pretty well here - crawling properly, standing, attempting to walk (boo hoo), eating pretty good, bottles going much better than they were. Sarah - Tom won't hold his, if we try to make him he just tips it upside down.
Jan - I know what you mean about getting sick of the same book. Tom is obsessed with It's Time for Bed. I brought him a great one from work called Ten Little Glow Worms that has flashing lights etc, but it is always straight over to the other one. His latest trick is when I say "what noise does a bird make', he says "Wack wack wack". DH is devastated - he keeps saying "He won't say Dad, but he will quack like a duck" .

Well, better be off. Not sure when I will be back due to computer - it is driving me nutso so I hope everyone has a

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
