Babies Born June 2006 #50

[New Dawn]

Samuel

Just think this time 2 yrs ago I didnt even know I was going to be holding a baby at the end of the night!!! as Kai didnt start making her self known until 8pm and then came out at 11.45pm on the only day I really didnt want her to come lol

Well even though it is Kai's birthday we have decide to make it her day on Sunday when the family is comming over and that way BHL will be home to she her open her present. As she is only 2 we didnt think it would matter much to her anyway its just been Zay and May having a fight this morning as Zay kepted saying that Kai was 2 today when May kepted say that she wont be 2 until Sunday didnt matter how many times I told them that they were both right, May just didnt understand and Zay is just a big tease....

Kids gotta love as no one else will lol

Amanda glad all is on track and you are boring and normal, I too when 4x4 driving while PG with kai but got so many bracksen hicks (sp?) that we had to turn around and head home but that could be because I hate 4x4 driving as it scares the living day lights out of me so maybe I was just to tence... Hope you have a great weekend...

Mel- thanks for the PM I will keep it in mind and have a talk to BHL about it see what he thinks, we do have private health so hopefully it would cover some costs but I think I might wait until next term as that way he would have been at the school for at least 4 weeks then we will see where to go from there, but I will defently get the number off you might as well go see the best if we have to see anyone.
Your MIL sounds wonderful I wish I had one like that, mine text BHL to say happy birthday to kai but that was it no love nana or anything plus it really bugs me because she wont ever call Kailaia by her full name because she told us it was a rediculas name for a child so she will only call her Kai, which is what I and most people call her but it just bugs me that she wont ever use her real name....

Well went to a playgroup today the ladies seem nice so I will go back plus the girls just did a plate so now I will have to keep going back just so that I can pick them up lol. I hope once I have been ther a while I will feel more settled in, both there and here in Melb as a whole as right now with this cold and feeling a bit lonely I begining to wonder what I got myself into lol but I alway feel that way to start with...

A big Happy Birthday to all our Junie Babes...so sad they are all nearly 2 years old, boo hoooo and Woohoooo all in one. We are finally all settled in to our new life in Indonesia, it is really breathe taking at times we can see the glacier from our house, it is very cold most of the time and with snow on the mountain peaks it is hard to believe we live in Indonesia. Michael wants another baby, butttttt I'm not convinced, so I guess we won't be pregnant anytime soon, all the kids are on holidays now til mid August so we will be out and about to explore. The bus up and down the moutain into town is an experience in itself., I'll be posting some photo's on facebook soon.
Now I have to go back and read up on you all.
Bye
Dee
PS Nathan is a biter, a push and puller anything to get your attention to give him what he wants, he also thinks he's very funny.
Also about 4 months ago Nathan started telling knock knock jokes, (as best a one year old can) well finally today he changed the joke, I'll have to capture him on camera,I keep forgetting.
Still breast feeding although it is night/morning feeds only with an occassional day time one snuck in. He talks pretty well and loves to dance and sing with his sisters but most of all he LOVES trucks, cars, planes, helicopters absolutely obsessed with them.
His favourite songs at the moment are incy wincy and the wheels on the bus.

Happy Birthday Junie babies! Alex has had a lovely week celebrating, we had 2 parties one for the family and one small one for a few friends. We went to one of Gabriella's friends parties yesterday and Alex was trying to blow out the candles and open the presents cause he thought it was all for him - very cute.

Dee, fantastic to hear from you and that you have settled in to life in Indonesia. It sounds like a beautiful place and I am sure you and the family will love the experience. At least you are with your DH now. Nathan sounds like a real little character.

Alex is another singer and dancer - he just loves it and walks around the house singing all day long. He still goes a million miles an hour and some days we find it hard to keep up. He gets covered in bruises, expecially his head as he uses it for a doorstop . He still co-sleeps with us, starts the night in his bed and then wanders over to ours at some point, as does Gabriella now so our Queen sized bed is getting a bit squashed to say the least.

Our big "issue" is sharing, wont have a bar of it and he really carries on when he doesnt get what he wants. Poor Gabriella cops the brunt of it and is generally pretty complacent and lets him have what he wants but every now and then she stands her ground (as she has every right to) and then WW3 breaks out!

Hope everyone else is well and enjoying their gorgeous Junies.

Dee - great to hear from you. Sounds like you have settled into your new life pretty well. I just checked out your pics, it looks amazing! The mountains look like you could reach out and touch them from your back door. I didn't think it got cold in Indonesia? I always thought of it as warm and tropical. That bus does look a little dodgy!!! Nathan sounds like a character. Are there many other Aussies in the area you live? Make sure you keep in touch.

Nic - Marley can be a bit of a pusher too lol!!! On Saturday, Chelsea was looking in the pantry and because Marley also wanted to look in the pantry, she pulled Chelsea's hair so hard that it pulled her down on her bum. The tears started (Chelsea wasn't happy!) and Marley went and cuddled her, then pushed her out the way to get into the pantry. Mission accomplished! She is such a devil sometimes.

Ang - your sharing issues sound just like mine - Chelsea will give her what she wants sometimes, but the other times it's a scream fest!

At daycare on Friday, they told me that Marley had been pulling other kids ears, they said it wasn't done in a nasty way, but rather trying to wiggle them. But they would prefer her not to do it as the other kids were getting a bit freaked out by it. The hair pulling is still happening but she has never pulled anyone elses hair, just Chelsea's. Thank god she is not biting.

Had a bad discovery on Saturday - Chelsea has lice!!!!!!!!! She has never had it before, and I suppose she has done well not to have had it. Did the trip to the chemist and she said she had sold 5 kits in 30 minutes. I used the K24 kit and it has hopefully done the job. I stripped her bed and washed everything in hot water, soaked all her hair ties, changed Marley's bedding, even got DH to go through my hair with the little magnifying glass they give you. Thankfully I am all clear! The comb thingy was a bit tricky to use but Chelsea has very fine hair so it wasn't too bad. I pity the poor kids who have thick hair. We have to repeat the treatment in 7 days. You can now get a preventative spray which I might have to invest in. It's so horrible thinking about those awful little critters being on her hair!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.

Ewwwwww the dreaded lice factor, we had a bad time with them about 6 months ago, I hate them....not that anyone would like them, making me itch right now, lol. stay on top of them and they willl go, you know you should actually continue treatment for atleast 21 days as this is the lice cycle, that way any egg/lice that may have been missed will die and the head will be clean and clear. Preventative spray's are a great idea and did you know that it is actually the eucalyptis that kills them not the tea tree, so you can make your own, as they can be expensive.
Lol at Marley's ear fetish, hehehe, Atleast it is not a boobies fetish like Melissa has, sooooo embarrassing.
Nice to hear from you Ang.
Nathan is whinging at me, better go.

Happy birthday to all the Junies i have missed; Cody, Kai, Sam and Alexander - hope they all had lovely days.

Tali - glad you are all settled in and starting playgroup etc! Hope Zay's teacher finds out what could be the problem and get some help for him, must be frustrating for you that none of his previous teachers have noticed before.

Nic - how are the renos going? looks like a big job but your house will be so lovely when finished. When is Trent back? I'm totally dreading when James goes to Italy, 11 nights by myself!

Dee - wow you're in Indonesia now! Hope the move went smoothly.

Ang - Hi! I can so picture Alexander being a million miles an hour still! wow at you still co-sleeping with both of them - we have a queen which Oscar climbs into whenever we have thunder and thats it - im awake all night purched on the edge! - we need a king!

Mel - eeeek at the lice. I'm sure its something we'll all have to go through once they go to school but it must still be quite ewww! Hope you've sorted it out - will have to remember the K24 kit that you used for future reference - im sure its only a matter of time now Oscar goes to 3 year old kindy!

Amanda - congratulations on your little man. Sorry he wasn't your princess but i know you'll love him just the same.

Rory - my boys play well most of the time but have the odd day where they just rub each other the wrong way all day and i'm ready to keep them in sepreate rooms by 10am! They have such sweet moments when they just randomly kiss and cuddle then 3 seconds later Will is beating Osc over the head with a piece of wooden track - ouch! poor Osc!

Hi to Maya, Bath, Jess, Jaspen and everyone else ive missed - memory like a sieve - blamed on baby brain (even walked into the mens change rooms at swimming today and there was a chap in there - so mortified!)

Take care and hope all the rest of the Junie birthdays are great - must try and get in here more often but time is just flying so completely out of control i don't every seem to have chance to sit still anymore! and thats just with 2 - whats ot going to be like with 3 -eeeeeeek.

ill stope rambling now....
