Babies Born June 2007 #4

[MumofLewis]

Hi girls,

Jen - I have been giving Lewis more tummy time and he is def getting stronger and putting his head down less. I reckon they can use the jolly jumpers for a good while after 6 months.. Anyway you can always sell it on ebay afterwards! I can't wait to put Lewis in his.

Lewis weighs 7.74kg now. I want to put the car seat in instead of his capsule but want to put it forward facing so i don't have to pay twice to get it fitted. Does anyone know if it's 8 or 9kg they have to be?

Celsie - Yes please post the baby express link, I want to see Caeleb in all his glory!


I took some cute photos of Lewis yesterday and have decided to make one into a canvas but I'm not sure if to do colour or black and white. If anyone wants a look it's the last 3 in his photo gallery:

MumofLewis - Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!! He is such a gorgeous little cheeky possum isn't he?!?!?! I'm thinking black and white for that artsy look......

Jen - wow!! sounds like Mackenzie is going to be tall like her sister! DD#2 weighted 7.6kg and was 64cm long on Oct 26 at her immunisations. And you're right how our babies are not staying babies for very long! Can hardly believe that DD#2 will be 5 months in one week!! Where is that time going?!?!?! Anyways, thinking of you too as you recover....how are you now?

Debbie - thinking of you lovely!! Sending xx

Zofia - ...."Mrs Zofia" ....hehehe!!! I hope you had a really special day! xx

Feathertop - I hope your household are all healthy now! Are you having fun Monday nights then?!?! I think I am the same as Jen though, forming a mental picture of myself bellydancing and not sure whether to wet myself laughing or think 'blerk' - just about me trying it btw!! LOL!!! I hope you're having heaps of fun though.....oooh!! Are you going to get to wear all those gorgeous outfits though?!?! I do love the trinkets and colours and the swish-swish!! So beautiful!!

Ok so update on my tribe ......

Well Monday afternoon/evening, Christmas in November, was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wonderful!! It was so precious and special to watch my brothers 2 little ones (5yrs & 18months) play with my little ones!! Their 'baby' wanted to wrap her arms around DD#2 all the time and if you moved the baby away from her, well lets just say, she wouldn't be too impressed!! LOL!!! Their eldest really took my eldest under his wing and even though its been almost 2years since they've seen each other, they played like a house on fire!! It was so lovely to watch. Even my 18month old niece was happy as anything to come and get unprompted snuggles from her aunty

I have been worried about Christmas for my side as this is going to be the first year without my .......well, biological father around......long painful story but effectively, since July this year (so DD#2 was only 3 weeks old) he has removed himself from us all. But it really was the most beautiful, fun, relaxed time we have had as a family in years............makes me wonder...............it really did feel like Christmas as DH & I did all the hosting, prep, set up, cooking (even cleaning - thank goodness for dishwashers! lol!) but weirdly enough, we really didn't mind. We did bonbons, chrissy pudding....the lot!!! Of course of all the nights for DD#2 to be completely unsettled and not feeding well.............hehehe! Not to worry.

My brother and his family came over for a quick goodbye coffee yesterday afternoon and today my eldest asked if she could play with her cousins again. Sadly I had to inform her that they were travelling home today but we are planning a big trip over next year...........yay!!! It was so lovely to receive a text from my brother saying thank you and that they had the best time in Adelaide that they have ever had before!!!

So now just feeling really tired oh and DD#1 decided to stuff a sultana up her nose this morning.......................what the?!?!?! I still can't get over that she did that!! I laugh every time I think of how I had to tweezer a juicy sultana out of my daughters nose this morning!!! Unbelievable!!!

So now the next focus is DD#1's 3rd birthday in a couple of weeks!! I truly cannot believe that my first baby is about to turn 3 years old!! When I think about it, that means I only have her at home with me for another 2 years before she goes to school Time is so precious isn't it???

Well, I might go grab a cuppa before the hellish task of washing DD#1's hair begins........................no really, I will miss her when she goes to school......surely she can't scream for the next 2 years every time I wash her hair?!?!?!

BBL lovlies!
Mwa!!
