And Jess - happy birthday for Friday (I think I have the right day). I knew it was your birthday but couldn't get computing working. Hope you had a great day xx
Happy Mother's day to everyone else

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

Hope you've all had a great one

My mum is THRILLED to say the least! LOL Sh'e sbeen out everyday since, looking at cakes, and bridesmaid dresses. I am soooo glad I told her. She's going to be a great help.

JANNO - OOOOO yay!!!! How did the possible left ring finger shopping go??? That's very exciting! Hopefully, we can pick my ring up next week, and then we might decide to tell people... not sure as of yet.

Well not alot happening. Lach's going well... so many teeth about to poke through, I wish they would just hurry up an do it! They are drivng him, and in turn, me, MAD! Poor kid. But we'll get through it
Still pulling up and walking along everything. Whilst cute, wasn't in my plans at 9 months of age. LOL I just hope he decides that that is enough excitement for a while.


ooo We bought him a TUX yesterday!!! For the wedding! It's ADORABLE! Just have to wait to finalize the bridal party suits, and we'll get him a matching tie. It's a little too big at the moment, but I bought it with the thoughts that he would grow into it. He's got a bit over 4 months.

ANyway, hope you have all been spoilt rotten. Happy first ever mothers day to all of the gorgeous July 07 mummies

xxoo

Hi everyone, hope you all had a fab mothers day! Thanks for the comments on the beach house for the wedding. I had already decided on a red/white/black theme (based on my wanting a red rose bouquet) so the venue ties in perfectly. The ceremony is going to be at 11am with a luncheon for a reception so the garden and lily pond setting is just perfect. For those married/getting married how did you find the perfect wedding dress? I'm finding it tough to decide on a style, and whether to buy a gown or just something white that I could wear again? There is so much to choose from, thank goodness I have a bit of time, but any advise would be great!

Lucas has been great, still no crawling, he seems more intent on rolling around everywhere and trying to pull himself up on things. He chatters non stop, has started saying nan, and last night when I said 'lets go change your bum-bum', he said bum-bum-bum-bum! Probably not the best word to teach him!

He was waking up during the night a fair bit last week. His bedtime was all over the place, I think because of daylight savings. He was going to bed early (5.30-6ish) but then waking back up so keeping him up for the extra hour and putting him in bed at 7pm has got us back on track, and also making sure that he has a full tummy as I think he was waking up hungry (going by the sound of his belly growling at 4am!)

I am moving this weekend and I wont be getting the internet on straight away so I'm to say that I wont be around for awhile as of next week, but I will still try and pop in when I can. I hate talking on the phone, its only connected for the internet which is dial up and so slow anyway so I'm not going to bother for awhile and save myself the extra bill!

Have a great day xox

Hi everyone,
Remember me, sorry it's been so long since I have posted in here, but I have had a very very busy last few weeks. I have had kids christening, my birthday, my sisters hucks day, my sisters wedding, my sisters marriage break-up, teeth in, sick babies, organising charlize birthday party. So it's just been mad.

Kids christening went really well. I got done too, which was a little wierd, but all good. Jack now has 2 teeth, which was totally unexpected. Unfortuately they both feel sick with a cold the day before my sisters wedding on saturday. But thankfully for panadol they were wonderful. It was a wonderful day. I will post some pics once, things have settled down some.

Charlize turns 2 at the end of the month, where has my baby gone, she even got her first hair cut yesterday, I wonder if that is a record, she didn't really need one, just tidyied up the back.

Jack is well, weighed him last week and he is now 10.7kg. So still going strong.

I will promise to read back and catch up on what's been happening. I see Jan got engaged, and Jess is having another baby. Congrats to you both. That's awesome news. Is there any other big news I should know about????

Anyway I will post again, once I have read back some. Hope your all well, talk to you soon

Mel.

HELLO!!!!

It must be a night of the MIA getting back into action! I have been so busy also with a bit of work from home, which sees me on the pc so much but not being able to get on here and read. But that is dying down and will be going into the office soon I think.

I hope everyone had a great mothers day and were spoilt by your DH and babies! We had a week in QLD last week as it was DH's 30th plus we had a 50th to go to. But I got a sleep in, brekkie and bed then DH and Olivia came in, Olivia carrying a pink teddy that said BEST MUM. DH also got me some Gold Class tickets. Olivia also said Mum on Thurs so that was the best pressie

Olivia is going well, can't beleive the 1st birthdays are coming up for us all!! She only has 2 teeth, but is crawling, pulling herself up on everything and very steady on her feet. She is the best little thing in the world and so not a worry for us.

Hope to get on here a bit more now and read about your bubbas.

Anyone pregnant yet???

Luv to all
Lis xx

[Flossie]

P.S - Sorry to hear about your sisters marriage break-up, didn't she just have her wedding though? Hope she gets through this :hugs:

[XRMummy]

Bayleigh is walking He took 15 steps on sunday and then yesterday he just pretty much walked everywhere and he has pretty much done the same today still crawls to places he wants to get to fast but yeah my baby isnt a baby anymore hes a LIL BOY

Hope everyone had a great mothers day and were all spoilt rotten like we allllll deserve

Sarah

Hey Flossie, sounds like all is very well at your end. My oldest sister is going through the break up and my middle sister is the one that just got married on the weekend. So it's been hard for both.

P.S just saw your ticker. We were married on the 21st Jan 06.

[Flossie]

Sarah - Well done to Bayleigh! So many smart bubbas here

Mel - I wish your sister the best, must be so hard and for you also, its awful when a loved one is going through a hard time. But the loved ones are what gets them through it! :hugs:

What are everyone's plans for 1st birthdays? We are having Olivia's on the 6th July at a Neighbourhood Centre as there is NO WAY I am having 18 kids through my house in winter...imagine if its muddy outside hehehe. We are having a butterfly them, so have the cake tin organised and some cookie cutters. I am trying to find a really lovely keepsake for her that has 1st birthday or something on it, does anyone have any ideas or website?

Hello everyone,

Flossie - I was just coming on to see if anyone had any plans for 1st birthdays! We were planning a big party but not so sure anymore. Might just have a little one with my mother's group on the actual day of Oliver's birthday and then a family and close friends get together on that weekend. I wanted to invite all the people we know but DF thinks it's a bit silly to invite people who don't even know Oliver. I guess he is right......but only this once! lol. As for the keepsake what about getting something like a locket engraved and you could put a picture of the three of you at her party inside it. hmmmm I'm not much help! I am only used to buying presents for boys!

Sarah - for Bayleigh! And to you, don't worry, we all go through this!

Mel - wow! I just realised how close together your kids are! You are a brave woman. How are the studies going?

AMM - I love the red/black/white theme for your wedding! I have no idea when mine will happen.....but my little sister is getting married early next year and has asked me to be a bridesmaid so I am SO happy about that!

Well things here have been a little up and down lately. A couple of months ago I started to see some funny spots out of the corner of my left eye. I let it go for a while, as us mums do, but finally got it checked when I woke up one morning and couldn't see properly out of the eye!! Very scary stuff. I went to an optometrist who referred me to a nuerologist - even scarier stuff - who sent me to have an MRI. I had to wait two weeks to get an appointment and meanwhile my GP is telling me that she thought I could have MS!!! But, all good, no MS and nothing else showed up in my brain but they still don't know what is wrong with my eye. I have to go back to the specialist soon so hopefully get some answers.

Anyways, Oliver is doing great! He has four teeth now, is standing and cruising along the furniture and claps and dances! He has a couple of favourite ads which he always stops what he is doing when they come on and will dance to the music! He is eating lots of different foods now, his favourite things are cheese, banana on toast and grapes. He is still breastfed too.

Speaking of Oliver, he just woke up so I'm off again! Will try and get back a bit more.

Hello to everyone else and your gorgeous babies.

Hey Everyone!!

I have been reading a bit these days but havent had any time to make a post. I sat down to start today, but Avaleigh woke up!! But she is happy at the moment so I may get in a quick post.

Avaleigh's walking is perfect here. She is trying to run now! But I think she has worked out that she cant get her legs to move quick enough. Because of all the walking (she is always walking around from one room to another, hardly sits still!) we are getting two sleeps per day from anywhere between 45mins - 2 hrs and we are sleeping through the night. But on the cold nights, she wakes a bit cause she has kicked her covers off! We are still breastfeeding here and solids are going good this week. Last week it was a bit of a mission cause she wasnt very well. I cant believe how quickly the time is going by!! I have no idea what to do about her first birthday. I dont think its going to be anything big as she wont remember it - well that is my thoughts at least...

Raels - I hope they find out what the problem is with your eye.

Lis - Hey there!! I was thinking about how you were going, was going to msg you on facebook but never got round to it..

Sarah - YAY on the walking!! Once they start something they cant stop.

Congrats to Jan on the engagement!

AMM - I went through the wedding dress shopping not long ago and the only thing I can suggest is try on any and every dress!! Even if the dress looks horrible on the hanger or not the style you want, try it on - you could be surprised!!! Good luck, its a lot of fun.

Not much happening in my world. I am booking a weekend getaway for the family in June - cant wait to get out of perth!! I've started doing a paper run, money is not so great, but its something and its MY money and I am getting paid to walk. Jason's work is slowing down a little so I am going to try and get some money out of centrelink... Hmmm I think thats all.

Well better go. We might go out for a walk to get some fresh air now that it has warmed up a bit..

[Flossie]

DOH! Olivia just woke up just as I started reading so this will be quick - she is banging her dummy agains the cot LOL

Raels - that is great news that its not MS, that would have been SO scary. Do they know what could have cause the spots? We are having a lot of ppl at Olivia's party, I think we are inviting about 60 OMG! But each and every person are in her life and see her constantly (large family on DH side and lots of friends). But this will be the one and only party (until the 18th/21st etc) that we will have so many ppl, the next ones will just be children.

V - I can't wait to see Olivia walk, it must be great to watch - but tiring as well yeah? Running around after her? Is she hiding things yet or moving things so you can't find them?

Well must go and get the little one up, I think she is having some major teething, or will be going through it soon. She chowed down on a rusk before and she hasn't done that since No. 2 so hopefully tooth No.3 is not to far away!

Also - Olivia has always been so good with food, but lately she is starting to spit it all out, even past which she LOVES. I don't understand????

Lis xx

[Flossie]

HELP!!

I don't know what to do, come bedtime Olivia screams the house down when we put her down. She is happy as larry to go to bed any other time by come 7:30 and she screams and screams. I go in there, she throws her dummy away and laughs, we let her cry for awhile to see if she will just settle but it gets worse and worse DH is in there now, she is quiet but we put her to bed at 7:30!!! This is just a pain, especially when we have ppl over for dinner I don't know what to do.

A lot of the time she still has wind, now this is after giving her her bottle 1 hour before bedtime and its only 50ml more then her 2 day bottles (200ml at night.

I am out of things to try...after about an hour or so she eventually drifts off. Tonight I have given her nurofen (as she is teething) but she is never this bad with teeth. Argghhh pulling my hair out!

[Megan76]

Lis - is she possibly overtired by 7.30pm? I have read in heaps of stuff that 7pm is the magical time for bed for some reason! Sometimes Lucas is even in bed by 6.45pm and he still sleeps till after 7am. Just a thought!

Sorry girls, busy beaver this week...will be back to normal next week and will catch up!!

xx

[Ngala]

Lis - Yeh it is great to watch Avaleigh walk and YES she has moved things around and I cant find them!! Her favourite thing to do at the moment is, pick up something and walk around the house with it. Not good when its your keys or mobile phone! HAHA Its not so tiring for me, but is for Avaleigh - its great to have huge day sleep since we never got them when she was younger!! I am not sure what to do about the screaming at bedtime, maybe it is the teething or maybe it is something else. I know that Megan just said that maybe Olivia is overtired, but what is she isnt ready to go to bed and she wants to stay up and play some more (hense the throwing dummy and laughing)??? A while back I tried to get Avaleigh to bed by 7pm but it didnt happen!! I would get the same screaming or playing in bed or throwing dummy away to get me back in the room to play or I would be rocking/bouncing and it was just so exhausting so I decided to just stick to having bed time at 8pm because at this time she will either fall asleep on me while feeding or she will fall asleep by herself in the cot after a little bit of cuddles. Does she have a nap in the arvo??
