[Charlyfrog]

Hi girls!! Hope you're all having a great long weekend. I did the housework today.........lol! Oh public holidays are so lost on me!

Jen - Oh I really hope Mackenzie gets used to settling so you can get some much needed rest! Let me know when to hurl mammoth loads of sticky vibes and baby dust at you!! More than happy to oblige!! Hehe! Have so much fun planning your wedding too!

Starfish - they're wriggly little rabbits aren't they!! I can be holding DD#2 and she has learnt a new trick of throwing herself backwards with no prior warning! Good grief!! Gives me a heart attack especially when I only have my arm wrapped around her legs whilst standing!! Maybe she'll be a gymnast, lol! I hope Diana is ok now though. You truly are amazing at how you are toilet training her too!! I love hearing of your successes!! And yay for more sleep!!! Hope you're doing really well now too love! xx

Debbie - oh lovey! Sorry to hear about your dog. I hope your other dog recovers fast too! But on a brighter note.............STICKY VIBES!!!!!!! Hehe! DD#2 has been grabbing behind her ears as well making me worry that she might have an ear issue but today found another little tooth trying to break through, so wondering if that is what is causing her to grab?? Hows the sleeping through going for Aiden and you?? Sounds like you've got it covered though so when you are pg you'll get that precious rest you're definitely going to need!

Mel_thekiwimum - So glad to hear that the child care is working for you now! That must be a real weight off your mind!

Celsie - How are you and Caeleb?? Also, how is your DH doing these days?? Thinking of you!

Feathertop - how is your DH?? It took DD#2 ages to catch onto solids which really shocked me as DD#1 would eat until the cows came home Then bizarrely enough something must've clicked with her as now she is in a nice eating mode! To the point that apparently I can't feed her fast enough, lol! She also wasn't a huge fan of the cereal at all so have been mixing it with apple and started off really thin in the beginning. Even then she would only take the tiniest amount which was really doing my head in. Made me worried if she was getting enough all round iykwim. Now that she has taken to eating she chows down much to my relief. Hope it all works out for you love! (I have noticed though that DD must be a bit of a diva as she will eat really well if the food is warm.........when it cools down its harder to get her to take it but as soon as I reheat it, down it goes! Good grief! Lol!)

MumofLewis - they certainly come in different packages....and then they can change again so much!! DD#1 was such a chubba bubba! And now, even though there is 2&1/2 years difference between the girls, there is only around a 4kg difference in weight!! Hahaha!! Sounds like your little one is thriving!!! Woohoo!

Rylansmum - how are the wedding plans coming along?? So exciting!!

Well, DD#1 is going great guns with her toilet training! I posted in the tt section a woohoo for DD as DH & I were out of the room the other day when we heard her call out to daddy. I thought we had issues (after that other experience a couple of days before) but when we got down to her, she was sitting on the potty and had done a poo!! Completely by herself, unprompted by us to use the potty!! I am so proud of her!! I have watched her playing and then stop all by herself to go do what she needs to on the potty! She hasn't worn nappies during the day a week tomorrow and the accidents are now few and far between!
Its just me who has the issues as I didn't hold the potty properly as she hopped up off it yesterday and so her wee went all over the floor!!! I was so frustrated at myself - thank goodness it was on tiles!

I think DD#2 is cutting a new tooth - today has been a tad draining as she is only happy if she is in my arms. This is unlike her which made me look and sure enough there is a little white dot on the bottom of her gum, 2 spaces over from her middle teeth. DD#1 got her 2 bottom the 2 top teeth so looks like DD#2 wants to be different.............as usual!! LOL!! She is also rocking on her hands and knees and then throws herself forward! Lol! So not long now I guess. I think she is also becoming a mummy's girl because if I go out of her sight lately, she is not happy! Even if DH is holding her Hoping that the new tooth is the culprit! (fingers crossed!)

Oh very funny thing the other night! DD#2 does a fake cough!! It must've begun when she made the sound, either a real cough or not, and mummy and/or daddy gave her immediate attention..........so she picked up on that!! Anyways, I had just finished her last feed for the night and had her sitting on my lap and I did a real cough. Well, she thought that that was absolutely hilarious and had the biggest chuckle ever!! The more I did it (in the end I was doing fake coughs to get her to laugh..........hehehe!) the more she laughed and then she would copy!! I was laughing so much I was crying! It really was a crack up!!

Well, I best be off as DD#1 doesn't quite get the concept of "quiet time"! Lol!! Ah well, less nappies is a good pay off right now! Lol!! Take care all, will bbl!

Mwa!!
