Been out at a friends for mtea. Chelsea is at kinder and Marley went to sleep not long after I arrived, so I was able to enjoy 2 cups of coffee and rocky road uninterrupted YUM!!
IK - I am sure if we kept asking questions, we would find more similarities. I didn't mention to you on Wed, but I also had horses for about 7 years (from age 10-17), then school got too much and I gave it away but I do miss it. Great for the legs and pelvic floor!!! Good luck at your pre-op appointment.
Bath - I hope Verity has fun at her graduation - I remember it was so exciting getting a bit dressed up and being allowed to wear a bit of lipstick!!
Nic - Marley has only rolled twice and I think it was by sheer fluke or accident. She didn't really have any control over what she was doing. She is too busy trying to eat her feet to try anything else. Chelsea was around 6 months and as you say all kids develop in their own time. A friend in my mothers group had a daughter who didn't have any teeth until she was 14 months old - and 6 came up at once!!!
Rory - congratulations and well done! You must be stoked. My MIL takes Chelsea out every second Friday and it is wonderful. She gets to spend quality time with grandparents and it gives me a bit of one-on-one time with Marley. So if your mum suggests it, take her up on it. I would start adding additional items to his solids, he would probably enjoy trying something new. They say to only add one new thing, give for a few days, then you can change to another. That way if he reacts to anything. you know what it is.
CeeCee - I always wondered how I would cope with 2, but to be honest, it has been much easier than I thought. Chelsea can also sit and play with Marley to keep her occupied if I need to cook dinner or do something else - siblings are very handy!!! I don't feel as tired because you are on the go most of the day. Its not until they are in bed and you sit and relax for a minute and think "boy I am tired"! I wonder if Bath and Dee agree that having a 3rd is easier again (I need some convincing that 3 is not much more work than 2 LOL!!!!!)
Wonder how Simone went with her test - fingers crossed XXXXX
How did Simone go???
Enjoy your night, Bath - sounds like it's a night of achievement for all of you.
Wow, Cee Cee your little monkey has come a long way since being a foetus with an uncertain future! There you go, you got words before any of us Oscar makes noise and has the 'm' sound, but doesn't really attach it to anything. I had a 'goo ga' a couple of times, but I am dying to hear the 'mumma' sound! In fact, I am really looking forward to the following picture becoming real: walking down the street with a little Oscar holding my hand, looking up at me and smiling. One day that will happen and I think when I realise it I will just cry right there on the street! That's the image I've had in my head since he was born. He rolls from front to back, back to side (arm gets in the way) and he shimmies across the floor. He is trying to pull himself up now - keeps crunching that tummy, but doesn't realise he'll need his hands to sit up, too.
Pre Admission went well. The procedure itself is a bit ambiguous and the nurse couldn't make sense of the surgeon's notes. Hmmm. However, I also found out that I will be in overnight. As DP said to me, if you want to find out anything about your surgery, ask the nurse not the surgeon, cos s/he will know. So, better get pumping. Also, DP has to start practicing with the bottle from tonight. He tried to tell me "you'll have to get started today on that practice" and I laughed. I said that it was in fact HE who would need to do it, and explained why. He gave in! I'll have a functioning nose in no time. However, we will need to swap Babyswim parent in class - I've only done two classes and there are 3 more to go (supposed to be more, but for technical reasons, this term is shorter). Just left a mesasge with babyswim lady...fingers crossed! Dee - as you know already from my numerous gushings, I love your family. Mel - curiouser and curiouser! What will we have in common next? Not the snack thing (today, anyway) - I can't stop eating oranges! I've only drunk orange juice today, too. I need some water, I think I am a bit dehydrated.
Oscar fell asleep on the way home (all the ways home, we stopped at Narre Warren and then at Belgrave - loveliest Chai tea I've ever had at the Cafe Green Bean...) and I was able to lay him straight into the bassinette. So, once I've finished this mammoth post I'll get back to some sewing.
Just read your post, Simone - good one, hi 5! That is brilliant news
