Helooooooooooo!! Sorry loves for my MIA status of late.....it became a case of having 1 hour to myself and having to choose whether to get back into my scrapbooking or jumping on here...........and seeing as the last page I had done was when DD#1 was 10 weeks old and she is now 3yrs & 3months, I have quite a bit of catch up to do So thank goodness it was relatively quiet in here which meant I was able to catch up on the reading!

Both my girls in successive days smashed their mouths into solid objects DD#2 was on the tiles and decided to kiss them! So that gave her a lovely blood blister type thing under her gum over the second top tooth that hasn't yet broken through. She only cried for a couple of minutes and the blood look had disappeared completely by the next day thank goodness. I was so worried she might've damaged or pushed her tooth before it had a chance to come through but it looks like its just about to cut properly no worries.

DD#1 decided that bouncing like a nugget and climbing all over the end of her iron framed bed was more favourable than actually going to sleep like she was supposed to DH & I were plonked on the couch and I was half asleep when suddenly DD#1 started to cry and it was the most horrible cry I had heard! We both jumped and I ran, almost falling flat on my face as my feet slipped on the tiles (derr) and she was sitting up with a bit of blood in her mouth. She had slipped and her tooth had hit her lip so hard that she now has this massive black circle on the top and inside of her bottom lip. A fraction harder and she would've put her tooth through and there are teeth mark bruises under her lip outside her mouth if that makes sense. So we sat there having a chat about how when you go to bed you lie down.....still!!!! And then told the story of the time that daddy didn't listen to his mummy and, "see that scar on daddy's head...." lol!!! Well she has recovered from that with a beautiful war wound to show off. But I ended up sleeping in her bed with her last night as she now has a cold and constantly woke up crying at the top of her lungs because of the drainage...................so tad tired today.

So Jen, yes they are still my perfect princesses just keeping my life interesting, that's for sure!!!

I am going to start buying winter clothes too but am going to get size 1's as DD#2 is already in 0 & 1's now. She is 8.4kg & 71cm as of Thursday just gone. The poor little love has the most horrid eczema all over her little arms and a bit on her legs. I think her pulling herself across the floor doesn't really help! She is a super fast commando crawler but has started to rock back and forth on her hands and knees. She got me all excited yesterday as I watched her bring a leg forward, but she changed her mind instead, still got me all excited as she pushed herself back up into a sitting position which she had never done before!

But OMG!!! Separation anxiety!! Went through it with DD#1 but not to this magnitude! It really is exhausting so am with you lovelies who are going through this right now , which apparently is the perfect time frame for it to happen as the CYH worker actually asked me if DD#2 was going through it. We are yet to get a play pen but soooo need it!! If I leave the room she comes and finds me, crying the whole time!! I will sit with my legs around her on the rug and she will complain and move herself so she is on me!

DD#1 has picked up on all this so finds things that need my attention i.e. suddenly she's on the loo calling out for me to clean her up......every time, without fail when I am in the middle of dealing with DD#2. Impeccable timing that one

I am starting to sleep DD#2 in her porta cot to train her to sleep in other 'beds'. Not sure who mentioned it in their post but thanks for the idea of moving the cot around to different rooms.....we went out last night and DD would just not sleep. Cried the whole time until I let her comfort feed, which I never normally do! But had run out of options......so with an almost 2wk holiday coming up might be a good idea to get her sleeping many locations.

Well, that's my run coming to an end as can hear the cheeky bubba waking up, precious munchkin! DH has taught her to fake laugh, lol!

Will hopefully be back sooner rather than later (think that's abbreviated to bbsrtl - lol!) To all those on the TTC path.........MWA!!!! Thinking of you and sending you container loads of baby dust and shooting those sticky vibes at you all!

Take care lovelies!
Mwa!!
