Jesse's just about walking!
He's letting go between the coffee table & lounge! Standing & eating & dancing alone!!
Its so exciting!

Jazz is doing that. I could have swarn she took a step on her own the other day, but on closer inspection, she had 2 fingers resting on a footstool.

She's pointing and waving at everything now. In the car the other day she pointed to Matt who was driving and said "dad" She did this 3 times (I can't remember if I have already said that). Even though she can say mum, when she points to me it's "ba ti oooo" (or something like that) and then giggles. In the supermarket the other day she was pointing at everyone who walked pasted and would keep pointing until we would say "lady" or "man" or tell her the name of whatever else it was that she was pointing to.

I think she's saying hi and bye now and is very quickly realising that when you say "bye" or "hi" that you wave at the same time. Like last night, when we were leaving daycare, I just said bye to the lady and her grandson and as soon as I did that Jazz started waving at them.

Hi Guys,

Danni great pics

you are very good.
You dont actually have to register a business name if you are going to trade under your own name - you already have an ABN so you are all set to go (so long as the ABN is listed as your name of course)
I bet the bride and groom will be rapt with the pics - well done

Prama - glad you had a great day dispite the rain, glad you got my text

On Sunday we were out in the garden and MJ went from sitting to a stand without holding onto anything!!! i was so excited, i clapped and cheered her and of course she fell over!
Well she has been practicing this all week and will stand in the middle of the room with nothing around for support. She is also Dancing, wiggling, clapping and cheering when standing like that... OMG she is growing up!!!
Yesterday she started to pracice to move on foot while standing like that - its not going to be too long people keep saying, it would be nice for her to be walking for her bday, but i also am happy to have her as she is, she is growing up sooooooo quick.

Remember how helpless they were only a few months ago! What an amazing thing it is to watch them grow!

She is saying Mumma, Dadda (to us) she also calles the cat and dog 'Gentle' obviously she has picked up on that more than the name of the animal... she says what sounds like 'good girl' to the dog and she calls her Doll, Doll-Doll and what was even more exciting, when we were in the kitchen i asked her where doll-doll was, she looked around for a bit and then took off to the lounge calling doll-doll and then found her AND brought her to me... WOW i think that is a massive step, your babies are probably doing similar things, but it was a huge thing really as she is obviously developing a bigger understanding, also recall and problem solving abilities.

Well, thats it from me for a bit, needed to take a break from the paper work her (its insane) so thought i would quickly pop in

sorry for no personals

At home today before we left for daycare & work, I said to Jazz "we're going to Pat's house" (Pat is the FDC lady). Then I said Pat several times. She eventually said "Pa...dada" (close enough). I told Pat when I dropped her off this morning and she was absolutely stoked!

poor darling, he coughs and cries in his sleep adn is so miserable.

sorry for the lack of personals..

I decided that this weekend I'll try Jazz on normal milk. If she doesn't have any reactions to it then we will just finish off the tin of formula we have and then she can just have normal milk. We might still buy one tin of formula a fortnight so she can have the occasional FF but otherwise it'll just be normal full cream milk.

So far so good and as long as it's in a bottle, not a cup and it's heated like formula she's fine. She hates drinking milk from a cup and hates drinking water from a bottle (fussy kid).

Yesterday I gave her some water out of my sports pop top bottle and she liked that bottle so I might look at getting one for her.

Oh Prama sorry to hear Poopy is so sick, hope he gets better soon. That was good that your mum was still here to help out. They pick up alot of bugs at daycare, just think of it this way, at least his immune system is going to be nice and strong by the time he goes to school

at least that is what I do to make myself feel better again.

DJ has diarrohea again...... and I have been going to the toilet alot the last few days myself..... and my tummy hurts when pushed..... I think we must have the same bug, the one he had a few weeks ago and it has come back. He hasn't had the diarrohea as much as last time though, only twice a day. The last time was anywhere between 5-8 times per day, very exhausting..... Hoping it will clear up this weekend. If not, i will take him to the doctors on Monday to see if I can get some antibiotics to clear it up.

How is everyone anyway? Loved reading all of your posts with all the talking going on..... DJ is says 'e' alot so he is trying to say something there not sure what..... every now and again, he will say mum or daddy, but that is about it. Not very frequent. Keep trying to teach him words though.

He is taking a few steps by himself now, only little ones though.... He still holds onto the lounge and then lets go and takes a few steps and then back to lounge. Won't be long now before he starts walking by himself.

I am so exhausted today though. Doni has been in Melbourne for the past two nights and DJ has been a little unsettled at night, I really think he knows when he isn't home. arghhhh He is due home at 2pm and I will be leaving the house to head to the shops so Doni can take over kehehehe

I will do some personals later.... Gotta change DJ's nappy, I can smell it from here...

HI guys.
I wrote i big post yesterday, just as BB started playing up, so I lost it

Hope Poopy gets better soon Prama. Poor bubba.

Hope you guys all feel better soon too Shell.

Jesse says yeah & nah & mum, dad & nan. He tries to say boob, lol & is starting to say a few more sounds.

Took them down to the beach this arvo, even though its a mucky brown colour from the floods. Hoping they don't get sick from it...
Any ways, Jesse was so funny. Crawling in & out of the waves, eating the sand & trying to chew on shells.

Anthony's living here. I'm still a bit wary, but I think we are getting there. & the kids are loving him being around full time again. It has been 4 months & poor Jesse won't leave his side. Poor Bubba's been surrounded by girls long enough, lol.
I'm just taking things really slowly. I feel stupid having him back here, but , I dunno, maybe things will finally be different (I know, fat chance, but I'm thinking more about the kids than me atm).

Anyways, lots more catching up to do, so I'll be back later.

Hey Skye..hun it sounds like you are apologising and doubting yourself for having anthony back home. Dont hun everybody trys there hardest to save their relationships and love is a hard thing to battle with. You will know what is right for you and the kids but take care of you too k xx
Prama so sorry poor lakshman is poorly it breaks your heart when you cant do anyting for them doesnt it. WIll has had one of those weeks too and we have seen the sun come up a few times. His nose is streaming down his face and he ic ocughing up phlegm but thre just isnt much you can do. Must say I felt really bad though whem mum told me he had produced 2 new top teeth and I Hadnt noticed. They literally cam down over night though so can explain alot.

Danni I bought WIll some straw bottles this week to try and encourage him to suck fomr the straw...might take a while *L* but he pull some great faces. I have been tryign cows milk too..moslty in the morning so I can see how his bowels handle it through the day so I dont overload him.

Mum and Dad are off to NZ on the weekend for 10 days..will miss having mum around thats for sure.We are also going to SYdney to see the Cat Empire for NIcks birthday which should be great as havent been out out for aloooooooooooooong time. ( Except for wedding on the weekend) WIll had his very first overnight with grandma which was great.

Have had a shocker migraine today fomr the lack of sleep and sinuses had to knock myself out and curl up in bed which was not much fun.

Oh watched Slum Dog Millionaire today too do yourself a favour..go see it a briliant film which will scoop the pool at the oscars for sure.

Anyway got to go put bub to bed hope you are all well have agood week xx
