hehehe, sorry, you'll have to wait..............coz then if it all turns to jelly and doesn't work for me I can say, "ah, was nothing really" (then Celsie will no doubt hunt me down and bop me in the head on everyone's behalf!!! Ah ahahahaha!)

DD is omg - getting so smart... is anyone else noticing this? She knows how to use her shape sorter and now climbs up on the big couch to sit and back off again without falling.
Babbling away (although i am not sure what she is saying lol).

I know what you mean PinkPalace!! I was amazed to see DD doing the same things with some shape blocks she has for this cute barn, makes noises when you drop the blocks through. DD#1 was not this advanced at this age and yet she really is a smart cookie today! but yes, climbing up and down on anything she possibly can, and to watch her problem solve is fascinating! Oh and she copies in the bath - while I'm washing DD#1, DD#2 will do the same actions rubbing her tummy and now rubbing her head as if to wash her own hair. And gosh, DD#2's character is really coming out! She now fake laughs until she falls into fits of giggles!! Its absolutely hilarious!! The past 2 nights when I've been putting her to bed, I usually hold her and sing to her, which she 'la-la's' along with (soooo cute!) well!! She has spent the whole time laughing!!! I've been doing nothing and she's just laughing her guts out!! So of course, mummy can't stifle her snorts and then it's on! even now, she's supposed to be asleep and she's laughing and chattering etc. Rabbit! Then she reminds me that she is just 15 months by rubbing her weetbix laden breakfast spoon all through her hair or turning her toast plate upside down on her head!

Fingers crossed on your DH's job too - do you have a preference so I know which one to cross my fingers harder for!


Had the one of the bestest phone calls today from my brother interstate!!!!!!!!!! He and his fam are moving over here early next year!!!!!!! Ah wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!! I'm so excited!!! Yay yay yay!!

lol charly! dont you love it when they remind you they are still babies! hehe!

I am not sure about preference for the move they both ahve their pros and cons... I guess it will be a matter of seeing what is offered! So just cross them all ! hehe

Hey, where is everyone?? Hope you are all well...

Charly any news on your mysterious job yet??

PP gosh you are so close now, can't wait to hear your news

Miss Banana - Wow I didn't know you were off to Thailand. Hope Dane is eating better. I bet its hard to find food for him that isn't swimming in chillies!

We are fine, took Lewis to the beach on Monday, he loved it. He just wanted to splash in the water the whole time. It's a great beach as it is really long so he can run for ages (and tire himself out ) We are going again on Saturday with this great weather.

I had an interview for a job today, still within the organisation but a different role. It would still be 20 hours a week but only one day in the office and the rest from home which is great! It means my MIL wouldn't be needed to look after Lewis on Wed afternoons anymore. Shame, shame!

Not much other news, Lewis becomes cheekier by the day. He does this look now where he rolls his eyes to the top of his head with his head down and then he laughs at himself doing it. He is still saying one word 'CAR' all day long!

Anyway hope you are all having fun with your little ones....

Wanna see what i spent all afternoon putting together???

Which photo is it PP? The playgym? Looks like fun!!!

Great news about the possibility of a new job Sarah!!!

I took Caeleb to get weighed and measured today. First time since he was 10 1/2 months old. He was 11.2 kilos, right smack bang in the 50th percentile. He was 84cm. The lady didn't believe me, so she measured him again. He's in the 95th percentile for his height. I knew he was tall, but WOW!!!

Oh, I had my first pre-natal visit at the hospital with the midwife. Yeah... BOUNTY BAG! Not so yeah! It didn't have a block of chocolate in it... it had... PINEOCLEAN! WTF?!?!? I WANT CHOCOLATE DAMN IT!!! I don't even use disinfectant in my home!!!

[MumofLewis]

Oooh PP Lewis wants to come and play!!

[teepee2]

Hi ladies and gent

How is everyone going? It seems like I've been gone for ages - hope i havent missed too much! I have occasionally been lurking but havent posted - my cousin who I had mentioned had caner passed away a couple of weeks ago so things have been rather unsettled here lately, but its all starting to come back to normal so hopefully I'll have a bit more time to catch up with you all now!

Mikayla is going great. She chatters all day long, which I must admit drives me crazy at times and is running around like she's been on her feet for years!! No matter what I do I just cant get her to sit still for a minute! She's saying alot more now, she seems to come up with a new word every day - her newest phrase is "sit here" which sounds sooo cute. But all we hear pretty much all day and night at the moment is mumma, dadda, nonna (grandma in Italian), nonno (grandpa), daisy (from the night garden), up, down, no more, and of course BABY (this one is her absolute favourite)!!!

And can someone please tell me that their child already has more attitude than they know what to do with - please tell me I'm not the only one! My little devil is starting to get so temperamental. If she doesnt get what she wants when she wants to starts to scream at the top of her voice and if one of us is within reach then she'll scratch and claw us with such agression!!! This is normal right???? Or do I just have a very very naughty child???

We've now moved her into a big girl bed. Its actually a toddler bed so its low enough to the ground so she can get in and out on her own. So far its worked wonders We stay with her till she falls asleep (which can sometimes take a while) and she'll usually sleep through to between 5.30 and 7.30am at which point she comes into bed with us. A couple of nights she's woken at about 2.30am and one of us just sits with her till she goes back to sleep. She really seems to like sleeping in the bed. I'm now thinking that the problem was that she just felt trapped in a cot - the idea that she can get out on her own if she wants to seems to put her at ease and she doesnt fight going to bed anymore!!!

We went to see some friends last night who have a 3 week old little girl who now weighs the same as Mikayla did at birth, and OMG she is sooooo tiny! I just cant believe that my active, talkative & headstrong daughter was ever that little!!!

Well I'm 10 weeks today and have my NT scan on 3rd October. I wonder if I as this scared last time - cause right now I'm pretified. I know my 7 weeks scan was perfect but I'm so scared that something will go wrong that I almost dont want to have the u/s. I think I'm so worried because this pregnancy is totally different so far to what is was with Mikayla. Although I do have morning sickness its no where near as bad as it was. Of course I know every pregnancy is different but I cant help feeling that it might be a bad sign just cant wait to see my little bub moving around so that I can put the worry behind me once and for all!!

PP all the best for the next 5 weeks hun. Cant wait to hear all about the safe arrival of your new little bundle!!!

Hope all the kiddies are doing well and not running a-muk (well not too often anyway)

Take care xx
