Babies Born July 2007 #23

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAYLEIGH!!! Hope you have a really special day with your Mum & Dad & all your family.

Jess - woo hoo for Ethan's walking, clever little man. I was/am emotional about Liam turning 1, but his Dad was cute - the alarm on his mobile went off at 9.43, which was when he was born.

Raels - I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a bb addict. Sometimes it feels like he's a bit unusual, but then nice people like you pop up and say "me too", which makes me feel normal again. Isn't it funny how sometimes the smallest kids are the best eaters.

Megan - LOL at Lucas' tongue obsession. Liam has one too - and he thinks it's the funniest thing when we poke our tongues out at him too. Good luck with the injections today, hope they're not too bad for him.

Well, I had a kid who was absolutely out to it when I was holding him, but as soon as he was put into the cot - snap, mr wako arrives. Singing, probably dancing, generally having a party in there. This, of course, is because we have his mini maestros class at midday, so it is a requirement that he is hungry & sleepy at midday. Seriously, EVERY thursday he does this. How does he know???? Anyway, better get him up & dressed, and we'll walk there, cos it's cold, but gorgeously sunny, so may as well make the most of it.

I shouldn't be on BB.. I should be doing housework but it feels never ending at the moment! My house was spotless before this birthday party stuff.. now it looks like a toy shop/bomb site!

Happy Birthday to Bayleigh! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

I better say it now - Happy Birthday for tomorrow Ethan! Jess, I just had a look at your site and Ethan's party pics are so cute! I loved your belly shots too!

Emma - your MCHN must have studied at the same school of tact as mine. Last time I saw her, as I was leaving, she said to Tom "Now be good. You've been a real handful for your mummy and daddy". I was so shocked I didn't say anything, but I got home and said to DH that she must of been looking at the wrong file or something because apart from his reflux (which is all sorted now), he is a really really good baby! Unfortunately, I have to keep seeing her too because I live in quite a small town and the other lady is always booked out wayyyyy in advance (wonder why ). I am also one that says "watch your head' etc, I think it is natural instinct as a mum, isn't it!

Now on the subject of food - I have a very good eater if it is mashed and spoon fed to him - he will eat anything but the idea of feeding himself is a no-go at the moment. If it's not toast, then he screws his nose up and won't have a bar of it. I just keep offering and hopefully one day, he will get the idea! So, at the moment we are doing -
Breakfast - 1 and a half Weetbix and piece of toast
Lunch - Yoghurt and fruit, and a sanwhich
Dinner - Soup, meat and vegies, then fruit or custard.
Snacks are anything bread related - so bread with cream cheese or vegemite, or banana on bread on a good day. He also likes Sao's and cruskits.
He drinks a lot of water during the day but milk is a bit of non event unless you count his morning and bedtime bottles. Actually on that subject, we tried switching to full cow's milk, but he became really unsettled and didn't seem to like it very much, so we went back to half formula/half milk. Has anyone else had that problem?

Has anyone braved the Target toy sale today? I walked past this morning and the line at layby was massive! I have put my foot down with my family and said - no more toys for Tom because he seriously got so much stuff for his birthday - they all didn't just by him one present - it was like 3 or 4 each and I have a big family! So I am going to layby a swing set for xmas and they can all put in money for that. I felt a bit bossy saying it, and DH thought he may be a little young still for one at xmas, but we seriously don't need anymore toys. Everyone seemed to agree with it so that was good. God, I am a real mum now aren't I, talking about Christmas in July, instead of buying all the presents the day before .

Opps someone is awake - I swear he knows when I am on here!

Happy Birthday Bayleigh

I hope you and your Mummy are having a great day together.

Happy Birthday Bayleigh

hope you both have had a great day Sarah.

I will try and catch up a bit before I get called for dinner (LOVE it when Dan's home LOL)

Emma, wow! That is hugely unacceptable being spoken to like that... she must have a really crap personal life or something.

Megan, oh the Fun Dip! LOL That's the one! Do you remember FAGS? Autie's sleep has improved fantastically so it must have just been a temporary glitch, thank goodness! How did you go with the needles?

Jess, for Ethan's walking! Autie has been walking more and today she stood in front of her piano and danced without holding on - so cute. Hope you feel really good for Ethan's special day.

Em, I think a swing set is a great idea, especially if you can get one with a baby-type swing on it until he's a bit bigger. Have you seen those roller slides? They look like fun. If we have our yard sorted out by christmas, we will probably get a cubby house for Autie.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all well.

We took Autie for her needles on Tuesday and she didn't cry for any of them! She has also topped the 9kg mark at last (9.07 LOL) so Dan immediately decided we had to go try lifejackets on her so he can start taking her in the boat. She decided that since it had a big collar she would lie down in it on the floor of BCF and use it as a pillow. Then we went and got fish and chips and sat in our car overlooking the rainy seaway - she thought that was pretty special as she's only had chips once before. The pelicans were also a hit.
I apologise in advance if it offends anyone, but do a search on You Tube for 'beached whale' and watch the cartoon one set in New Zealand. Good if you're feeling down and need a laugh.
Ciao

HI

Well only one more sleep before my big boy turns one! I have just finished doing his second birthday cake and what a disaster!! lol the icing kept melting everywhere while i was trying to to do his name, so it looks like i was drunk when i did it but its only for me and ethan as we will be spending his birthday with just me and him (dh is away) and maybe his nan.

Ethan has a terrible fever again tonight, it was 39.4 and was 38.7 an hour ago, he has been like this since 4pm im not sure why as he has shown no sign of sickness, but is having some pain, so maybe teething. Like last time the fever started out of the blue. He has been pretty much consistently unwell over the last few weeks and sometimes i wonder where iam going wrong Oh the rash ethan had was not chicken pox and disappeared after 3 days so i think it may have just been viral.

Sacha- How cute autie would have looked having a dance! Ethan just moves his arms to dance, now he is walking though he has forgotten all about dancing and just tags along behind me like a little lamb! Thumbs up to dan for doing the cooking! I wish Dh would cook for me when he's home. Glad autie's needles went well too.

Sarah- Glad bayleigh had a good day. How did the birthday tea go?

Em- I walked past target today too but was sooo busy i just kept walking, i was supposed to go laybye the Vibrating Elmo chair thing for ethan but just didnt have th courage lol The swing set is a great idea, and tom will love it. Thanks for your comments on ethans pics and the belly ones too

Jan- How sweet of your DH setting his alarm! Im sitting here thinking hmmm.....its 9.30pm this is what time i left for the hospital!! Lol. How did the mini maestro class go today?

Oops must go, ethan has woken very sad.

Before i do-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow TAYAH hope you have a wonderful day sweetie

Goodnight
