I'm not sure about the first birthday. We don't have family around and not that many friends so I was thinking a BBQ lunch too, but then I really want to have a "we survived the first year" party with my mother's group. Maybe I can do both?
I'm loving that my daughter comes to me now. She can choose where she wants to go & its lovely when she crawls quickly to me for a cuddle! Awww. too cute! So that's one of the lovely things about loosing our babies & getting a toddler instead. (I loved the baby days!)
Hey Mo- yup, Baloo is still a chubby little thing! i love it.
Don't think we'll be doing much for her first birthday. Probably a jungle picnic.
Hope any one in Vic is sheltering from the heat today and staying safe, particularly if you're in fire prone area. I'm supposed to be going to a friends place for a BBQ, but they live in a pretty bushy outer suberb and i'm feeling a bit nervous about it..... Might just stay by the beach i think.
Mo- you guys should bring the girls to the beach one day. Lu wold love to build sand castles with M.
When do you guys leave? I'll diffidently bring the drama queen down soon.
I can see her & Lu being feral I mean "Angels" together & i'd love to see how little Sas is doing
JM if you don't feel safe going then just stay home, you went through so much last year and i can only imagine how nervous days like this must make you now. Your friend will understand if u need to cancel
Winter it's just beautiful watching them change into little people, DD1 now comes up to & says I love you Mumma & gives me a kiss.
If i'm upset she grabs a blanket comes up to wipes my tears away & goes "don't cry Mumma, it be ok".

JM - I have been back at work a day and a half since October. I'm lucky to have an autonomous position and can work from home on occasions. DH has built a music studio at home so it doubles as a quiet office now. Our folks look after T.
For Ts first birthday we are buying a tiny quater sized cello! Jesse's brother just located it for her. She is so into the live music sessions at home and wont use it for a long time but will enjoy us using it with her.
Winter - I love it that bubs can seek me out now too! A little girl is emerging rapidly.
Sounds like all of our bubs are starting to be full of personality. Alexandra is so cheeky and gives the biggest grins - it's so cute. I am loving this new stage as she gets more confident in herself exploring the house and chasing the cats around.
Does anyone know off the top of their head when the next lot of teeth are supposed to come through after the first 8? I'll have to look it up, I'm hoping that we'll get a nice long break from teething. We've moved from panadol to nurofen as the panadol was pretty much useless and night wakings have increased astronomically. DP is still overseas with his family so I'm by myself and wishing that I had more hours in the day and that I didn't need as much sleep.
We probably won't be doing much for her birthday. We've got my sister's engagement party 2 weeks before and my aunty's wedding the weekend after so will have heaps of time to catch up with family and probably have a quiet party by ourselves.
What's everybodys favourite toys at the moment? We've got a huge box of duplo and Alexandra has been carrying around the little people, one in each hand, for about a week now
Super P- A little cellist in the making, cool pressie. She will love that in years to come. Did you cook last night? Man it was so hot. There wasn't a lot of sleeping going on here......
FF- After the 8, the next teeth aren't until the molars appear. Lu is just getting the first 2 molars at 2 years 3 months, but friends babes had them a little before 2 years. S still only has 2 teeth, so have a way to go yet. As for favorite toys, not sure she has one, just happy to chew on whatever she can get her hands on, it was a dead fly yesterday. blergh.
Mo- i stayed home! My friends were fine, they were telling me all about their fire plan, but i just didn't feel comfortable. Will go up when it cools down.

Saw the pics on FB & my goodness Lulu has turn into a mini you, She is so darn beautiful!
I see Sas still has the redish hair going on & i just love her little pot belly too cute!
Are you bringing both girls to the beach?
K's fav toy hmmmm, She does love her walker but she's pretty happy with anything u give her as long as it can go in her mouth that is.
My 2 finally fell asleep at midnight last night it was just to sticky & hot to sleep, I'm really looking forward to this cool change.
