OMG.... i have missed so much and im way too lazy to catchup properly but i did have a quick read through,
Charli's ears are better now, thankfully, she's almost walking too :D she's taking up to 20 steps at a time, she walked half way down the hallway yesterday for DP, sooo cute. my baby is growing up so quick.
Alyssa has her dancing concert in a month....can't wait, she's doing hip-hop and jazz, two seperate dances which is gonna be soo cute.
Oh dear Charli is awake already.....or perhaps she never went to sleep cause i did only put her down about half hour agooo.
Well then just quickly im good for a catchup at the botanic garden in melb with the kids on oct 23.....

HI everyone
Like Kirra, I'm too lazy to go through, but I hae been reading! I have a good excuse though - it's Piper's 3rd birthday today & I'm so tired after we took her & Lily to the Aquarium & then had lunch inthe park, before going to a carnival near our place! Plus I got up early to decorate her cupcakes & set up her pressies! We got her a big girls bike - she's already riding it like a pro! So cute! I can't beleive that my little Pip is 3!
Glad everyone is well. Lily is doing well - she started saying 'Pier' yesterday! so cute! She can also stand on her own for a little while. She crawls like a bullet - so fast! She's also climbing up on everything, cruising around furniture & walking with the aid of her lion walking thingy. So cute! I can' t believe that our babies are almost 1! It has gone by way too quick.
So, are we all ok for the 23rd of October(Friday)? Please elt me know so that we can work out a time - it's only a couple of weeks away!
ok, back to it!
Ciao xx

Happy birthday Piper, and happy birthday Louis wow lots of birthdays are happening at the moment.
We have had gastro go right through all of us and also anyone we came in contact with unfortunately. But otherwise we are all good.
I am a definite for the catch up on the 23rd - really looking forward to it.
Kristie - How are your energy levels? Are you going to continue bfing for much longer? We are down to only 2 a day now and I am absolutely refusing to feed Logan if he wakes up in the night. Mum was concerned as I wanted to leave him with her and she didn't want him waking in the night for milk. So I have been good this week and he has been settled other ways (and usually by dad). YAY!!
My little monkey is still not crawling - will be lucky to be crawling before he is 1. He is still able to get everything he wants by rolling. I got him a stride to ride walker off ebay and he loves sitting on it, but has no idea about lifting his legs and bending his knees to walk. But I am certainly not pushing him to do things before he is ready, we are enjoying this time as I know it isn't going to last much longer.

wow we must all be busy at the moment.
How is everyone going with organising their bubba's first birthday parties? and what are you getting for them as a present? I don't want to buy much as I am not sure what other people will buy. Have given out a few hints though :) Might wait and see what he needs after we get the gifts from others.
I was bathing Logan last night and noticed he has another tooth!!! I always find it hard to see his bottom ones as he doesn't like me looking there. That makes 7 now.
(and btw - still not crawling or even doing the hands and knees thing lol. But he is talking lots to make up for it :) )

CHARLI IS WALKING :dance: She's so clever and she's now up to about 15 different words. I can't believe she's so grown up already, she started walking on saturday, been taking steps for a lil while now but now shes walking :D So she was one day off beinjg 11months old.
OMG...7 teeth, Charli is stuck on 2. lol.
Busy month this one is for me.....:rolleyes: Got birthday's, dancing rehearsals, nights out and my sisters wedding.
Haven't even thought about organising charli's birthday yet, we'll prob have a big party here on the saturday after her birthday, wednesday isnt a good day to have a party even though alyssa's first birthday was on a thursday night, it was mostly family but now we've got friends and family so i think its gonna be a saturday bbq. Weather permitted of course. lol. It's gone so quick, i actually feel like crying, my baby is gonna be one, not that she seems like a baby anymore, more like a toddler. lol. She's got a cold atm, and one of her eyes is tearing constantly, so off to the doc this arvo just to be safe, my poor baby can't seem to catch much of a break lately.
Looking forward to next friday, can't wait to meet ya'll. :)

Hi!
Kirra - Wow on Charli walking - what a clever little girl - and all those words!! Fantastic!! Not good to hear she's sick though...hope she's on the mend!
Natasha - Thanks for organising the facebook page for our get together - I'm really looking forward to it - can you believe I've never been to the botanic gardens before??? Is it kind of the gardens near st kilda rd??? Is it easy to get parking through the day or should I park at the arts centre or something?? It's so silly that I don't know...LOL!
Happy Belated Birthday to Piper - what a clever girl riding her bike - we're getting the boys a bike each for xmas!! What a big day out that you had - what a lucky girl!!
Good to hear Lily's doing so well as well!!
Kylie - You poor thing with everyone having gastro - hope your all better now!
I'm ok - lethargic but I think that's also because I haven't been doing any exercise at all since I've been p/g...I need to get over myself and get out there or I'm going to put on 100kg with this p/g!! LOL!
Good on you for not night feeding anymore - I haven't for a few months now...Ethan doesn't seem to have had any dramas weaning which is good...I think we worry about it more than we need to sometimes!! LOL!
Wow on Logans teeth!! That's a fair effort - Ethan has 4 now...
Ok, as for us...Ethan is down to 1 bf a day now - which is first thing in the morning - it's the one I hold onto because I feed him in my bed and we have a play and have cuddles. It's so gorgeous now because after he's down he yells out - "ouis" "ylan' for the boys to come in and play with him -then he goes toes first off the bed and crawls after them and they play for a bit longer while I think about getting out of bed - LOL!!!! I'll probably wean him off that morning feed in the next few weeks... So he has a cup of cows milk now before bed - although he probably only has half of it - he eats soooo much though - I can't wait for his mchn check up as I'm sure he's catching up with his weight!!! Some nights he eats more than Dylan!!! I
He's almost walking - taking a few steps to us and he can get himself to standing without holding on to anything...he's talking is coming along - it's mostly just names at the moment and he can say quite a few animals - like if I say - a cow says moo- he goes -mmmm or a snakes says - sssss. He's's a very cheeky little thing though and has recently found all the cupboards he can open and empty - it drives me crazy but I'm too lazy to put latches on so I just have to keep telling him off!
I've got a little baby boy doll and I've been giving it to him and he gives it cuddles and kisses - so cute - just want him to be a little used to the idea as he's going to be so small when bubs arrives...my other boys coped really well but he's going to be 2m younger than they were even...he's very clingy to me still as well - if dylan hops up for a cuddle he tries to push him away and wants me all to himself....cheeky little thing - I hope he's not too displaced when the new baby arrives - although he loves his big brothers so I'm sure by then he'll be fine...
As for his party - we're going to have it on his b'day which is the Saturday - I'm just doing 2-4pm party food...we just had Louis party which was a whole bbq so this time it will be short and sweet and easy food - I'll probably just do a whole lot of cupcakes for his cake - that's what I've done for every 1st b'day because that's all he'll eat anyway!!! We're having a sesame st theme - it's really cute!! No doubt will cost me a small fortune though! LOL!!
Ok - hope you all had a great weekend - I had a quiet one as Michael is away...I'm a bit over it as he's been working heaps and then has been away...grrrr!! Things should settle down soon hopefully...
Chat later!!

HI Everyone
Sorry, I've been a bit slack on here! But I have been reading the posts!
Ok, where to start, Kristie seemed to wrap everything up well so I'll go from your post! haha!
Yes, the Botanical Gardens does back onto St Kilda Road, but you don't want to go that way, you want to go round the back, near the river - You can find parking on the side of the road at Anderson St or even on Alexandra Ave. Don't park at the Arts Centre - You'll be walking for miles! 'd give you directions but I have no idea how to get there from your end, only from the Westside! hahaha! It's near Rod Laver Arena if that helps?
Glad to hear you're feeling well, you lucky thing! I'm still working on DH. He seems to be weakening a little! haha! Fingers crossed. I still have a while to go as I don't really want to start trying(although with the girls there didn't seem to be much trying as I conceived first shot - god old billings method! haha! ) until around August next year. Lily seems more of a baby than Piper was at this age, my snuggle bum. I also need to stay at work longer than 12 months to get paid maternity leave again (which is around $6000 so that helps a bit). So much to think about!
Piper's birthdy party(or should I say parties) were really good! I just put on pies & stuff like that & did it from 1.30pm - 4pm. Too hard to do anything else. I always like to put thefinishing time too so people get the hint that it's not an all-nighter! haha!
Kylie - glad the gastro bug is gone. Good work with teh overnight feeds. I've been lucky with Lily, she stopped at 4.5 months except for the odd night when she's teething. Sounds like LIly & Logan are even steves on the number of teeth. Thak god Lily's teething has slowed sown, I was worried se was going to have all 22 teeth by the time she was 1!
Kirra - how cute, Charli walking. She must look like a mini person talking & walking! haha! Very cute! How's the studying going? How long before you finish up?
Lily is turning out to be quite a funny & cheeky little girl! She cracks us all up on a hourly basis! She can throw great woblers when she doesn't get something that she wants & is eating like a champion. She stands up on her own quite a bit now & triesto take a step. SHe's super fast when she holds onto furnture & loves to grab onto something to push along so she can walk behind it - usually a chair, my poor floors! She's very good at climbing & child proof locks are othing for her, opens them all up the little terror! SHe's so squishy though, I'm always squeezng her the poor little thing! The best is when her & Piper play & laugh together, so so cute! He feeds seem to be getting shorter. I'm going to wait until her birthday to cut out the afternoon feed, then the night. I'm keeping the morning for as long as I can!
Piper is a funny rat too - I have been finding liners in her undies lately! When I ask her what's going on she says, 'Mum, it's a pad. I need one for my chauchie like you!'. Lucky I haven't been using tampons lately! haha! Scary thought!
I've been getting a little busy with my little business lately, which is good. If only it would be consistent & a little busier!
Ok, well, I better get on to it - my 'work in progress' pile is getting too high for my liking! Better finish some stuff off!
Ciao ladies, look forward to seeing you all on Friday morning - I hope that I'm not late! hahaha!
Natasha xx

Wow Kris, your brave venturing out with all 3. lol.
Not feeling so good, so off to the doc today.
Yep she sure does look like a mini person, yesterday i took her outside for a walk and she kept trying to walk on the road :doh: Hasnt quite mastered the grass yet either. lol. But she kept picking flowers and touching everything, was very cute.
PMSL about Piper, thats hilarious
Well i better go charli's done a poo :shakehead:

Hi!
Natasha - Thanks for that - I'm sure I'll find it...might be worth facebook messaging mobile numbers so we can make sure we all meet up ok...(and for if I get lost - LOL!)
Good luck working on your dh...plenty of time if your thinking of next Aug!! I think my biggest transition has been from 2-3 kids so I'm hoping 3-4 won't make too much difference! LOL! 1-2 was pretty simple as well...It's funny how it's different for everyone - I think the personalities of the kids makes a difference as well!
Lily sounds very cute!! It is great when the kids play well isn't it?? My favourite moments as well...
LOL at Piper - what a crack up!!!
Kirra - I hope your going to be ok for Friday!! It's a bugger we can't go in together but there's the small issue of where to seat all the kids - LOL!!
Wow at Charli walking around - very cute!!
I'm looking forward to the sun today - yesterday was just beautiful! We went to the park and the kids loved it!! Also, Michael got home yesterday afternoon - the boys were very excited (as was I) they had a big play outside on the trampoline which was good for them too! PIty they didn't really sleep in this morning though!
We're off to swimming this morning - actually - I better get myself organised!!!
Chat later!
