Celsie - What a gorgeous little man Caeleb is! He's grown up so much since the last photo's I've seen!
I didn't give Lewis any chocolates, poor thing didn't get a look in which may explain my tummy ache!!

[Charlyfrog]

Celsie - wow! Caeleb is growing up so fast!! Too cute

Hope everyone had a great Easter!! DD#1 had her first Easter egg hunt - so much fun!! But omg!!! We have ended up with soooooooooo much chocolate and only a miniscule amount is actually for DH & I!!! DD#1 scored biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig time!! Her birthday isn't til almost Christmas - I reckon we could make it last til then!!....

.......unless I have a highly emotional moment!! Then no hope!!

Rylansmum - so glad it wasn't a horrid diagnosis love! Hope all the snot dries up soon

DD#2 is still soooooooooo extraordinarily clingy! She has just recently cut teeth 5&6 (she only does teeth in groups of 2, never one at a time ) so she has 2 at the bottom and 4 at the top. So cute though, her two front top teeth still have a little gap between them so with her easter bunny ears on, she fitted right into the character! Lol!!

Sorry been MIA slightly - crazyhouse here but all fun and good (desperately still attempting scrapbooking catch up I hate not finishing what I started but good on me I know how to create a rod for my back don't I??? Lol!!!) So will be popping in and out as much as I can to keep up with all you lovelies

Take care all!

Mwa!!

happy easter all!! im overloaded with chocaolate because Nate had some when i wasnt looking and didnt sleep for 9 hours(thanks NAN).

we went to CHN today and got weighed and measured.
length 79.8cms weight 10.9kgs speed down hall 100kmh.

doors have to be closed now because he has found that he canpush some open and get into the shoe rack and place them around the house. only realised yesterday when i couldnt find my left sneaker. turned up in a drawer in his play room today.

question without notice: brushing teeth- when do you think it should start and how do i do it(not on me, i know)it says on toothpaste tube to ensure that baby doesnt swallow it, how

have a lovely day all

Hiya all
Hope you all had a great easter.
Celsie - love the photo. Caeleb is lucky, Aiden didnt have any chocolate. He got a few little eggs, but, that was about it. We added them to mummy & daddys collection. I asked my IL's and SIL to put in get him a swing. One of those ones that you just hang from a beam. He loves it.

I weighed Aiden today, 11.4kg. I have to do his length yet, but, the little bugger doesnt stay still long enough, so i have to wait till i can get DH to help. I havent been for his 8month visit to the chn yet, so, might just remember to get him measured when i go. And, his top 2 front teeth are coming thru. Can just feel a little tiny sharp point of the rhs one.

Dragonstorm, i have only just in the last week or so started brushing Aidens teeth, even thou he has had his 2 bottom ones for about 3months! They dont recommend toothpaste for kids under a year, and even once they are older, i think you can get a child friendly one that it doesnt matter if they swallow. I do Aidens teeth in the bath after dinner. I brought the set of 3 that you get from woolies/safeway. Has 1 brush, and 2 massagers in it. I use one of the massager brushes on my teeth saying "mummys turn" and make a big display of showing teeth and brushing, and then, using the actual brush, say "Aidens turn" and he shows his teeth, and lets me brush. About the only time he lets me put something in his mouth other then a dummy or bottle.

Oh, and i am with you on the getting around at 100mile/hour. Aiden doesnt have a shoe fetish, but, has a sliding door fetish. The shower door, back door, and glass doors on the tv cabinet are his greatest friends!

This is abit early, but, anyone started to think/plan 1st birthday parties?

Hi everyone

sorry have been MIA but it has been a busy month for us - it was my 32nd birthday and our wedding anniversary so we've had lots of fun together as a family

DS is nearly 9kg and about 73cm - so pretty small compared to some of the others but he is still putting on weight and eats like a small horse

we only had a tiny bit of chocolate at Easter and didn't give any to Jackson - too busy scoffing it ourselves - he did share our pancakes though on Sunday morning

Dragonstorm - welcome (sorry its a bit late from me) on the toothpaste thing - just asked my friend who is a dental therapist and she said that they don't need toothpaste until at least 12 months but to get a very soft baby toothbrush or a massager that you can put on your finger (I got mine from Target)

Jackson still isn't properly crawling - still a tummy shuffle but he now is a real climber and pulling himself up onto everything - bed, couch, my legs

well better get off to do the dishes and then get to bed - work tomorrow again

Luv Mel and Jackson

Hi everyone

Glad to hear that you all had a good Easter. Ours was okay. We stayed home and had a quiet one. Diana didn't get any chocolate, and neither did DH or I (apart from what we bought for ourselves) as we don't have any family or friends. Sorry that sounds really bad, but recently I have been feeling really lonely as I seem to have no one, except Diana, to talk to. DH is kind of a loner and is happy to stay home after coming home from work, but the lack of human contact is driving me insane! I am doing my best to take Diana to playgroups and ABA meetings, etc, but it would be nice to do something non-baby related for a change... Sorry, about that - whinge over.

I'm not sure if I've already written this, but Diana is about 72.5cm long and weighs 7.9kg (so quite little compared to some of your big boys!).

I have taken the step to enrol Diana in a modelling agency. We have an appointment next week. Hopefully she'll get some work soon.

Mel - happy birthday and happy anniversary!

Debbie - I have briefly thought of Diana's first birthday, but I'm not sure who I would invite (see my whinge above). We are thinking of taking a trip overseas in late June/early July this year, so maybe we could do something for her when away from home.

Dargonstorm - I too have heard not to use toothpaste until bub is 12 months. I have been brushing Diana's teeth with a baby tooth/gum massager thing for the past 4 months. When she's about 12 months I plan to start using a baby toothbrush, but not sure when I'll introduce toothpaste, as I'm not sure how necessary it actually is.

Charly - Diana is the same - she seems to be cutting teeth 2 at a time. Currently she has 4, with a 5th coming through, so no doubt the 6th is not far behind.

Celsie - very cute photo! He looks like he's enjoying it. Did he make a huge mess? Diana seems to mash food up in her hand and drop it around the house rather than actually eating it. (Whereas non edible items, such as paper, tissues, wallet, keys, etc, go straight into her mouth.)

Hi to everyone else!

Dragonstorm - re toothpaste: I agree with all that's been said re: waiting til after 12months. DD#1 is already 3 but still hasn't mastered the spitting thing, so even though we have the milk toothpaste, we don't use it every day but we make sure we brush her teeth morning and night.....unless on the odd occasion my brain hasn't quite woken up in the morning so I forget, lol. I brush DD#2's teeth and then let her 'have a go'.

Starfish - that's so exciting about the modelling agency!! That's fantastic! No doubt you will be inundated with gigs! Wish you were here we'd be hitting the cafes! My DH is more introverted than me so would also rather work on the computer than go out so I understand a little. Well if we are ever in each other's backyard we should make contact!

Mel_thekiwimum - & happy anniversary!
DD#2 is around the same weight and height but would eat til the cows come home as well!! My friend commented the other day that she looks like she has slimmed down - DD not me..........didn't make any comment about my weight!

Debbie - with DD#1 I was planning her first birthday around the 8 month mark!! but this time around, I must admit it really isn't on my radar. I am so looking forward to our first family holiday in about 6 weeks- woohoo! But then if I think about it, DD's birthday will only be 4weeks or so after we get back........eeek!! And I set the bar so high the first time.................... Good one!

Hope everyone is doing really well! I'm having so much fun scrapbooking (hence my vacant status of late) and DD#1 wants to be involved too so we are going through lots of sticky tape! Lol! DD#2 is just as cheeky as ever!! She knows if she is about to touch something she's not supposed to - its that oh so cheeky grin she twists around and gives me!!! Hehe

Well really should go to sleep but its so hard coz there's so much I want to do and can do once the kidlets are fast asleep! But a late night makes the next day a bit tricky................not to worry

Bbl lovlies!
Mwa!!
