How's all those March babies going? Mine is having a shocking time with the heat and sleeping, or perhaps she's just having a bad time with sleeping. It's nice to blame the heat though.
I can not believe we are fast approaching first birthdays. where did the year go!
We spent the morning at the beach today, a friend wanted to take some snaps of the kids. I think little miss almost 10 months ate about a shovel and half full of sand..... maybe she'll sleep better with a full tummy.
SP- Ouch on the work thing. That can't be easy. I'm not a nurse, but i am a medical imaging tech. I haven't worked in a while now, not since before number 1. I will get back to work, but not in the near future. i miss it but at the same time and thankful i don't have to go back iykwim. Was it your fist time back since T was born, or just back after the holidays?

yep, how fast has this year gone? We no longer have babies, we have toddlers! Well mine is anyway, the tanties have started (only very small, but they are here!) and all the "look mum, no hands" standing she is doing, I don't thinkit will be too long until DD is toddling aroudn the place.
I've decided today that sleeping good/bad is all so relative. I'm not going to stress about bad sleep anymore (can you remind me of this next time I'm searching for miracle cures! ) because nothing lasts for very long. One week is a good week, the next is bad, but the good one will come again eventually. (I'm feeling very calm & zen because this week is a good week and its much easier to be philosophical with enough sleep under your belt! )
I am starting to dig this toddler stuff, I love her squealing and crawling away from me laughing while I chase her. Its so cute.
Hope your DD sleeps well and all that sand makes its way back out again!
i know! toddlers already. Although having a 2 and a bit year old, still makes her seem so small. It's funny you say that about sleep, i was having coffee with another BB chick, and we agreed on exactly what you say, sleep only becomes an issue if you see it as one. Babies are just that, babies and their sleep and/or bad habits seem to come and go just as the weather changes.
Good on you for coming to that conclusion with your first, it took me until i had number two!
It seems the march babies are keen to get and moving! *go toddlers go*
JM i agree having a 2 year old makes Kodi seem so little, but then again K is very petite.
How is Baloo doing, Still a chunky little bubba?
K is having a crap time with sleep, but then so is M. So maybe it is the heat.
Winter it's so much fun when they get to the toddler age, I can't wait till my girls can really go off & play together.
What's everyone doing for the big 1st birthday? We will probably just have a BBQ lunch.
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.
Great i can't wait to see Little L & Little S.
I really hope M & L get along this time, those 2 always seems to clash when together and i also hope K doesn't beat up S. Kodi doesn't understand playing gently since Maddi never plays gently with her.
A it was great seeing you today, Lulu is just beautiful & Sassi is cute as. I love how happy she is.
I was so happy Maddi & Lu got on so well today, not 1 fight.
JM - glad for the cool change too! I cant remember if we cooked but we probably had Pizza as DS1 has a pizza delivery job at the mo.
T is 10 months now! OMG how time has flown. I just am in awe of the amazing gift she is to everyone here. So much love.
She has cut 4 teeth now - all in 2 weeks. 3 are top teeth though. Has anyone else had mostly top teeth?
JM - Hilarious re the dead fly
FF - Ts fav toy is hard to say - all have their time to shine at present. Today we bought her a toy Spot dog as she loves the books. She got very excited. Actually books are her fav toys all round. Settles her when she is upset. I feel for you being on your own. It is a tough gig for sure.
Went to Dandenongs with DH and T for lunch and cake - we are trying to enjoy a break from DH regular work by doing whatever we please - just woke up and went out
where did the year go!

Lu plays a lot better these days. She's no angel, but has improved! See you friday.
