Dan - we give Ellie a toothbrush to 'play' with. She watches me brush my teeth and copies. She seems to love her toothbrush and now she brushes her teddies teeth too lol!
Tan - hope you had a great time at donny's. I still haven't been to check it out.
Kass - sorry AF arrived hun. Fingers crossed for this month!
Danni - great to hear from you! YAY for second tri, that went soooooo fast! Well maybe not for you though! Feeling better?
Hi Shell and Lulu!!
I'm surrounded by boxes and told DH not to pack up the puter so I can jump on BB quickly lol. We are moving tomorrow so I will be offline for a little while. Not sure when we will have the net (DH is supposed to be organising that so who knows!!!). Catch ya's soon, take care xxxx
Dan - Izzy is a bit hit and miss with teeth brushing too. We do an electric tooth brush sound (cos that's what mummy and daddy have) and she seems to enjoy that - opens her mouth wide while we brush. She won't have a bar of tooth paste yet though so I figure its best to at least brush them with water than nothing at all.
Lis - yay for finally being in your lovely home. I hope the move went well and you're slowly getting yourself organised. Brilliant that you'll be in your new home for Christmas. Last year was really special being in our beautiful new home with our gorgeous baby for her first Christmas.
Danni - great news that everything is going well. How's the morning sickness? Are you finding out what you're having this time?
Dan - I hope things settle down for you guys very soon. Izzy went through a stage like that at night when she would scream and the second she was picked up she would cuddle into you. Try to put her down, scream. We tried bringing her to bed with us and like you said with Liv, all she wanted to do was play. Soooooo frustrating. I have a chaise lounge in her room and out of desperation just got to the point of leaving her in her cot and lying on the lounge (falling asleep a lot of the time!). I hope she gets out of it soon though - her mummy needs lots of sleep! I still need to work up the courage to mention yet another new pram to DH. I took the huge double out shopping the other day and Elena was so much happier in it. Might just wait until DH is with me one day and he's the one that has to wrestle the monster pram in and out of the car - then hit him with a new one!!
Kass - sorry about no luck this month. Still, lots of lovely practice over the silly season for you - have to look on the bright side.
Shell - how are you going?? I hope you enjoyed your night out.
I wrapped all the girls' presents last night and put them under the tree. Oh my goodness. I really did go a bit overboard. They have a cubbyhouse thing, slide and swing for outside that they're sharing (although Ellie won't have much use for the slide and cubbyhouse yet). Then Iz has a computerised thing that teaches alphabet, numbers, animals etc, about 6 books, the big Iggle Piggle snuggle pillow, two different stacking things, a little car thing and trailer that she sits on and kicks along with, one of those pull/push along things that the balls pop up in and play dough stuff. El has a thing that converts from sitting on to pushing along to standing in front of activity station, a pull along toy, some blocks, an Upsy Daisy snuggle cushion, blow up ball and square things, some books and a couple of other things that I just can't remember! Waaaaaay too much, especially when you consider that my folks have a cubbyhouse thing and swing for them to live at their place, and at last count 9, yes 9, toys for EACH of the girls. Most spoilt kids on the planet but I just can't help it.
Anyway, better go. Off looking for a new vacuum cleaner today. Hmmmm. Merry Christmas to me??
Just popping in, and going to try and stay regular in updating. I'm so busy with a new job and our happy little family, but it's not hard to pop in and spend a few minutes online with you bootiful mummas.
I am absolutely amazed at all the learning and growing our kids are doing at the moment. Blake is saying all sorts of things and putting words together, the longest at this stage being "I want more" or "I want that". Considering I was so worried about his speech, I'm extremely wrapped with his progression over the past couple of months.
He is still a terrible sleeper at night, but he does have a good sleep at school (always the way). As I'm typing, he is trying to sing Twinkle Twinkle and doing the hand actions, it makes me want to melt!!!
I got Blake a Tonka truck that has 3 other cars it carries, it's massive so have no idea where it's going to go, a Car's outfit, medium sized Hummer, paint, crayons, drawing pad, face painting crayons. I'll probably get him some decent shoes as another gift as he has outgrown everything else and ruined his good pair by peeing in them at school lol.
Speaking of pee, Blake does his poo's in the toilet He knows and shows me he needs to go to the toilet, and I sit with him and encourage and he does it, every time! He is in jocks at school and pull ups at home, and nappy for sleep time and overnight. Getting started with T/T is definitely a big advantage, as they say the boys are way more difficult than the princesses.
That's about all I have to update, I'll try and keep up with everythnig from here on in!
Ash -I'm jealous! I want poos in the toilet too! I have been a bit slack but am going to try after Christmas settles down! Glad you are doing well hun!
Lulu - OMG at the toys but I know what you mean. I haven't counted what we have bought them both yet and I don't think I will! I can't wait to move so we can get a cubby and swing set!
Lis - Doncaster is awesome! I won't bother with CHaddy ever again! So I either go there or Knox now!
Off to play with my snot nosed child - ANOTHER cold. ALl my friends can't believe how often she gets sick and it's made me wonder. Is it normal for them to get sick so often??? Im not sure. I think she picks up stuff at the playgroup we go to. Miss you all!! Chat soon!
We are finally in our new home and we finally have the net! I missed BB lol!
Tan my sis loves donny too, she is a regular shopper there! Knox and eastland are closest to me but I prefer knox. Hope Izzy's cold clears up soon, yep I think its pretty common for kids to get a lot of colds. After all they're immune system is only new! How is playgroup? I'm thinking about finding one for Ellie but I'm a bit shy to rock up by myself lol!
Lulu OMG at your girls gifts. You are making me feel like such a bad mum cos I haven't got anything for my princess yet. Must get my butt into gear!!!
Ash lovely to have you back, sounds like Blake is going great guns! So glad to hear so you so happy!
Well hello to anyone I missed - shell, Dan, Danni, Kass and love to you all.
AFM been super busy with the move and work. Ellie had her check up yesterday and she is in 90th percentile weighing in at 12.9 kg and 84cm long. Told you she loved her food lol! She also had her vacc with no bad effects which is great! Anyway I'm gonna make the most of my day off and go and unpack the billions of boxes laying around. Chat soon, have a lovely day xxx
Hello everyone!!! Sorry I have been so slack, no excuses, just plain old slack!! Both my girls have finished school/kindy now, so we have lots of fights etc in this house atm!!! They are unbelievable, I think they do love eachther, but my God they can argue! And throw into the mix a 18mth old who is throwing tantrums and screams and yells - our neighbours must hate us!!! Luckily we are on acreage so not so bad!!!
It is sooooo hot here, is horrible. I think that contributes to cranky kids. I also have got most of our shopping done. They got heaps - is silly really, but oh well!!!! I have been trying to book Angus into occasional care for one day next year and it is crazy. The only one with their books still open has 25 already on the waiting list!! Oh well, I jst think he would love different kids and toys etc... And also give me a day to myself, he is just so full on, so different to my girls. I just can't trust him anywhere - yesterday he found a permanant marker and drew all over my kitchen bench. We have also had a few toddler drownings round here, so am vigilant about watching him outside. So, hence, I think a days break would be nice!!
Lis - glad you have moved in - how exciting!!!
Kass- fingers crossed the new year brings you a bfp!!!!
Dan - how is Livvy now?? Is she still giving you a hard time!!! You going to find out the sex of bubs???
D - How is your preg travelling?
Tan - I cant believe how much James looks like Izzy!! Cute!!! We are all in the midst of snotty noses here also. I think it is normal at this age - they seem to pick up everything that is going round!!!
lulu - you and your prams caracks me up!!! My DH would have divorced me by noe if I was you!!! Although, I am wanting a stroller - the P&T is not getting much use these days. I have a trolley seat cover that he sits in most days!
Ash - how is the new job going?? Good on you for the TT!!!
Hello to anyne I have missed! Gotta run, little man just fell out of tonka truck. xxx
Lulu- I know what you mean with the prezzies!!! We're stuffed next year IF there's a new baby Annabelle is wayyyyyyyyyyy to spoilt!
Sangie- Congrats with the move! Now just got to get through all those damn boxes
Tan- Not sure about Izzy being sick??? What does the health nurse say? I think it would just be getting into the wrong stuff, those playgroups can be pretty dirty!
Shell- Yuk hot weather! Sounds like the kids are reacting to it
Sorry if I missed anyone! But Ill bbl
AFM, Af has left so dtd for #2
Xmas shopping all done, yay!!! Annabelle is getting, Dora lamp, 4 wiggles dvd's and a swing set with the slide etc. We really want to get her a tramp also but they're all sold out!
