Happy Easter to you all, we are heading off tomorrow for our Easter Holiday. Enjoy the time with your loved ones and won't the littlies just LOVE this Easter??
just popping in at work, currently on a break so just wanted Bec to know you are not a thread killer
Well the highlight of my day was Dp brought DS into town and we had lunch together at the library on the grass, very nice way to spend lunch.
DS has another tooth coming through so that is 7 so far. He is starting to walk more then he crawls and learning to walk in shoes too so cute.
Well it seems Dp is starting to know what it is really like to be home with littlies, he that for over an hour this morning DS cried and winged and cracked tantys if he picked him up, put him down, put him in his cot - didn't matter what he did DS just wasn't happy. Ah well now he knows
Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a happy Easter. And I'm very late in saying this, but I hope E, Will and Sam had fantastic first birthdays.
Life has been a bit crazy around here for the past couple of weeks since I went back to work part time. Even though I'm only working Tues/Wed/Thurs, I seem to have very little time to get on the computer!
And for my big news ... (ha ha, no it's not another baby - YET) ... we've put our house on the market on Saturday. Decided now is the time to sell, so fingers crossed we get a sale within a few weeks . The plan is to rent for 12 months while we find a block of land and build. We really want/need another home before we add to the family. Our current place is fine, but it's two bedrooms upstairs and one down - which would make life difficult if/when another baby comes along. Anyhoo, it's taking up a lot of my time to keep the place looking spiffy as we've already had inspections, plus photos for ads etc. It's bloody hard keeping a clean and tidy house with a toddler and two shedding dogs who have always 'lived' inside with us. Wish us luck for a good sale!
As for Cammie, well he's handling daycare ok, although he's been a bit off colour this week. Not actually sick, just no real appetite for food or milk, Thankfully he's drinking lots of water and he's eating just enough to get by, but he's not quite himself. They said he was a bit grotty at daycare today - very sooky - so I'll keep an eye on him. DH and I have just had gastro (luckily only lasted 24 hours without vomitting), and we both felt nauseous and off our food. So maybe that's what Cam's had a touch of - but without the spews or poos. At least he ate dinner tonight and drank a bottle of milk before bed, so I think he'll be ok.
Cam's on the verge of walking, I think. He'll walk around now providing he's got hold of a finger. Actually, he wants to run - after the dogs. Typical boy!
Work is going ok. I find things really heat up once Cam is picked up and we get home. It's all "go, go, go" from about 5.30-8.30pm. I need to find my routine, if that makes sense, as then things might fall into place a little easier. Truthfully, the hardest thing about working is going from seeing Cam 24/7, to only seeing him for approx 3-4 hours on the days I work. I hate that, and I miss him. Guess it's a taste of what DH has gone through since Cammie was born. Still, it makes me a bit sad. But I'm trying to look on the positive side of things and at least I've got 4 days at home with him.
Bec - hope you enjoy your time at Sheffield (saw that on FB) - don't freeze your bum off. Ditto I hope everyone else going away for Easter has a great time.
Leesa - congrats on your baby boy!! Your boss sounds like a total nitwit and if he's got any sense he'll take a course in management and discrimination before he next opens his big, fat gob. Thank goodness for your big boss!
Nic - awww, poor hubby. Nah, only kidding . Just a taste of what the past 12 months has been luck for you. Glad to hear things going well for you.
I can say DS is definitely walking and he loves to pratice and practice. I swear at the moment all seems to do is laps of the house holding onto things, doesn't seem to matter if it's the tv controls, a toy or a tag from some new shoes I brought (they are red boots ) We were also given one of those doggy walky things that they hold onto and can push and he has gotten really good at pushing that around. He can really direct it where he wants to as well. I've got him in shoes learning to walk in them now too but he is a bit clumsy still.
Umm he is finally starting to kiss and cuddle, before he would just lean forward when I said kiss so I could kiss him but now I get the open mouth haha. He is still not saying much that I can understand but he has a language all of his own, he squeals and chat away. We do get the odd mum, maaaarm, dadad, nanan etc... and a baw (as in ball) one of his favourite toys.
I can't believe my almost 13 mnth can flirt, has been for awhile now but it really, really obvious now. He tries to charm every lady he meets, he smiles and 'talk' if he doesn't get a response he becomes louder, then when he has their attention he plays coy with them and looks away and back again. I can't believe it starts this young, my little man is going to be such a heart breaker
He is starting to hate the pram, damn it. Um he can be clingy but I am lucky at the moment there are times throughout the day he is just happy doing his own thing checking out his toys intently.
Last time we weighed him he was 12kgs so he doesn't seem to have slowed down any haha. Lucky for me he now sleeps in his cot and I don't rock him to sleep anymore. He now has 2 day sleeps for about an hour, hour 15 mins each. He generally goes to bed between 7.30 - 8.30 and wakes once or twice through the night and is awake and ready for the day usually between 6 and 7 am. Now I wouldn't recommend other people do this but Dp has been keeping D up for about 4 hrs before he puts him down for his sleeps, ironically he nearly always falls asleep straight away (probably from exhaution ) but it's got to be better then him crying/protesting for 15-20 mins like before. Only time will tell if this works or not.
Ok onto personals, I may not get to everyone but will be back....
I really know how you feel Andie about going back to work even though it's only part time it is making the weeks fly by way too quickly now. The time away from D is hard but good at the same time goodluck with selling your house - hope you get a good price for it.
Bec, stop turning off your computer you are making us look bad hope you are enjoying your time away and will have to call sometime next week.
Leesa, your boss sounds like a tosser, glad the higher boss loves your work and hope things settle soon for you. for maddy furniture walking, she will be walking before you know it. My bro didn't walk until his was 17 mnths, I was expecting D to be like that too cause he is a big kid.
Laura, how are you going?
Mel, how is things going for you, when are you due back to work?
Jo how things for you, did you get away for easter did DH get some time off?
Mum2Willie, how are things going with work and DS's sleep?
It was great to hear from you allboys, and hi to everyone else and how are you all going, sorry too tired to do anymore.
