Thanks Holl - your just toooooooo good!!!

**[M]umma[M]ia** · October 15th, 2009, 02:16 PM

sorry i havent been posting much. Been pretty hectic latley as u who are on my facebook know.

Ill do some of Mia's stats now while i have a chance (tho shes destroying the lounge room lol)

Mia got her 2nd tooth today, so she has both her bottom ones and thats it.
Shes been walking for a month now, tho still prefers to crawl. Shes walks around other ppls houses, but not mine much? mayb coz we have tiles through out??
She talks alot, says, mum, dad, nan, Mia, yay, bub, bath, wassat (whats that), up, ta, oooop (oops), dink (drink), yum, hello, eeya (seeya) eeya rater (seeya later), dont touch (mayb i have said this one too much? lol) dont, no.... and the list goes on.
Plays hide and seek and peek a boo.
Blows kisses
takes her tops, socks and pants off all the time

points at everything and everyone
gives Hi-5
tries to put clothes on and shoes (she likes to dress up)
Opens cupboards, draws, fridges and anything that opens (even DVD cases.. grrr)
Loves books, will sit there turning the pages and blabbering to herself for hours.
Has good understanding of instructions like, no, dont touch, get down, stop, clap hands, brush your hair, be nice, dance etc
Can climb off the bed and couch saftley. Climbs onto everything possible.
does her booty dance to any kind of music.
Is just starting to put her toys away.

Thats all i can think of for now..

RE cows milk - we are on our last tin of formula here, and Mia is down to 2 bottles a day, one in the morning and one at night. We have about 1/2 a tin left and some sample packs. Not too sure how ill make the transition yet to cows milk, but she has abit now during the day every now and then and shes fine with it. She will be on full cows milk by the time she is 13 months.

She will eat anything. Shes still not too happy about having fruit, but she will eat it. 90% of the time she eats what we eat. When we are running behind or busy etc, she will have raffertys with some fresh veg or rice etc.

Im abit stuck atm with breakfast. She has weetbix and porridge and i rotate it. Then she has a little bit of toast after it. But is there any other cereals she can have? they freak me abit coz they can be pretty high in sugar.

also, nuts. Has anyone given their bub nuts yet? (not whole nuts obviously, peanut butter etc) we do have a nut allergy in the family, my half brother from my dads side, so im kinda weary about giving her some. But the longer i delay it the more chance of an allergy anyway. So i was thinking giving her a peanut butter sandwich sitting in the carpark of emergency (we are 30 mins from hospital).

Olives Bday in 2 days yay! Mia's next thursday

**hj1981** · October 15th, 2009, 02:24 PM

Holl - ur a crack up - ur suggestion about sitting in the car park of emergency and giving Mia a peanut butter sandwich! thats funny! good idea tho!
Miss B had some a carrot cake that i was eating the yesterday and it had nuts in it and she was fine!
Im worried about fish as DH had a reaction to iodine when he was a bub and thats in fish but i think mainly shell fish! so i brought some fish fingers today - hmmmm hoping to be game enough to do it soon!
Mia is a little girl now - no more bubba for u - whens the next one?

**AmandaJ** · October 15th, 2009, 06:19 PM

Hollye me personally, I haven't tried my boys on peanut butter until they were at least two, which I think is the recommend time and later if there is a peanut allergy in the family.

Ok I'll do Julian's stats since I have two seconds to myself.

He has 7 teeth and the 8th is nearly threw 4 top, 3 bottom.
He can climb off the bed and chair without falling and hurting himself.
He has been walking for two weeks now and absolutly loves been mobile.
He says mum, dad, bub, ta, ello (hello), bye, num (yum) and that's about it, he doesn't talk much when the other boys are around but does babble quite a bit when they aren't here, lol.
He's still breast fed and having about 4 feeds a day.
Having cows milk in his cereal in the morning and is drinking water from his sippy bottle.
Has found his willy and like most boys likes playing with it at any chance he can, ie nappy changes.

That's all I can think of for now.

Ok thought of a few more last night in bed

He waves hello and bye bye.
He puts his hand in your top whenever you pick him up and he plays with your shirt material (does it with anyone, including our 9 yr old).
Gets super excited when he hears daddy's voice when he comes home from work or after a nap and sees daddy for the first time of the day (very cute).
He still has 1-2 sleeps a day.

HI everyone,
Happy belated birthday Julian!!!!!!!!!! Hope you had a fantastic day.

All is good here. As it is Olive's birthday tomorrow I have been really busy with work, making cakes, threading chicken kebabs, making rissoles. Dh has put together Olive's pram and grandma has given her a doll to go with it. I'm so excited about the party tomorrow and I just can't believe my baby is one! It brings back all kinds of memories about labour and birth and bf and i'm soooo clucky! But at the same time I love this age so much, Olive is just so damned cute atm (despite sleep issues) and i'm just enjoying her so much right now. So I have made a tiered caramel mud cake which I will decorate tomorrow as well as mini patty cakes to put on a double cake stand so am hoping to have a pretty special cake.

hj - hope work gets better for you!

Amanda - next years b'day bash will have to be huge!

Hollye - i'm not to sure about nuts either. I think I will try Olive on macadamia spread first in the next few weeks. It will be good to be able to have nuts, honey etc

Hi to everyone else, hope you all have a great weekend!!!!!!

**AmandaJ** · October 17th, 2009, 08:29 AM

Happy Birthday Olive and Liam

I hope that you both have wonderful birthdays today.

Just quick, I've got Julian's party to finish organising, we're having it at a park so have to finish cake etc.

Have a great day everyone.

Happy Birthday Olive and Liam!!!!!!!!!

**[M]umma[M]ia** · October 20th, 2009, 12:20 PM

did Tanstar ever come back???

Happy birthday for 2 days ago James!!!

**Crystalwings** · October 20th, 2009, 07:28 PM

Hi everyone,
Olive says a big thanks for all the birthday wishes. She had a great day at her party. She loved her cake and spent alot of the day pushing her new wooden pram around saying "broom, broom" with her little bum sticking up in the air. We had a lovely bbq and while I nearly got divorced making the cake it turned out beautifully.

DH just got Olive to sleep after nearly an hour of battling and crying. She is just so determined!!! She is very bright and doesn't want to miss a thing. When I have 3 weeks off at xmas my sole purpose is to get her in a proper routine, just hope I can last that long... Olive is such a lovely, happy bub except when it comes to sleep, it's very frustrating. Are all your bubs sleeping through now?

Olive is having her 1 yr old check with the nurse on friday so will post her growth stats then but I will be talking to nurse about sleep as well as allergy testing. Olive hasn't had any wheat and her ezthma was great but after her party and having some there she broke out almost straight away. I would like to get it properly tested.

Other then that I am loving this age, Olive is so interactive now. I have also been giving her some honey and little bits of whole egg now she's one and am wanting to try nuts soon, although probably not peanuts straight away.

Anyway hope you are all doing well, nite nite

**[M]umma[M]ia** · October 20th, 2009, 08:07 PM

Yay CW!!! im glad the party was a success!!!!! Mia has slept through now.. for...ummm... oh 7ish months?? (not trying to boast). She still has the odd bad night here and there. We have always been really strict with her routine, which i think is the reason why. Thats no good about her breaking out abit, its a great idea to get some testing done.

I tried to use normal soap on Mia tonight.. instant red rash everywhere.

guess my soap free days arnt over yet.

just 2 more sleeps until my girl is 1!!! boohooo!

**1MOREPLZ** · October 20th, 2009, 08:45 PM

we use goats milk soap and have had NO probs

as for honey...i am not game enough to try it yet...Jack has been eating eggs for a while now... and is not fond of them BUT does eat them
sleeping through.....i best not say this...BUT jack has been sleeping through from 6 weeks of age..and is brilliant at putting himself back to sleep, he pops his dummy back in has a whimper...and goes back to sleep

his new word is 'tookie' our ****atiel 'chookie'
