Oz, sorry to hear your little one is sick. Poor little thing. Hope your trip to Sydney goes well, enjoy!
Ery- Gymbaroo, a job opportunity, that sounds exciting! What a great environment to work in.
Jen- I hear you about the boobie squeezes, DD has just started that and then smiles so big all the milk spills out the sides of her mouth. Great that the solids have helped Jade's reflux as well, that must be a relief.
Heavenly- Great growing that little Serenity is doing! Thats fantastic. Love kittys name too, I had a budgie called 'bird' when I was a kid lol.
Liz- you ok hon? I hope everything is ok xx
Maya- Way to go T on the backwards crawling! DD just started backward worming today, I dunno if that even makes sense but she wiggles on her belly backwards for about 3 metres- does that count?!?!
Kelly- Tara looks so happy in her highchair like a big girl! Great to hear the solids are going well.
Cam- Sorry to hear Luke isnt much of a sleeper, I tried the SOS with DD and honestly I was one of those ones it just didnt work for, I didnt like it at all but then I didnt try very hard with it either. DD hates the computer too, isnt that funny, its not something you would think would be such a big deal but it must annoy them in some way!
My big story for the day is, today I was able to put Mimey's hair in a pigtail with a proper hair band, have always used clips and tried a band once but it had to be tight and I didnt want to hurt her head but today it was the real thing! A part on the side and a real little pigtail . We are hanging out on starting solids too atm!
awww LD id give anything to be able to put either of my girls hair up!!!! Iz has nothing at all!!! just a fine whispy covering. DD1 has a fair bit of hair now but it wasnt till she was about 18 months that i could start putting clips in it. she's almost 4 and her hair only comes to her shoulders because her ringlets are so tight! it hasnt got enough weight in it yet to fall so she looks a little ronald mcdonaldish!! and she hates having her hair tied up too!!
so so jealous!
We just can't win, huh? T's hair is great for tying up in either a clip or tiny bands, but DS pulls them out as soon as he can! Just cos he doesn't like HIS hair tied up...grrr!
Teething necklace is on backorder (in the colour I wanted), so playing the patient waiting game for it to turn up and see if it makes a diff - hoping mine will give me back some much-needed Zen!
Glad to hear we're mostly going well. How many of you have read Pinky McKay's stuff? I have found it supremely helpful and liberating
I am actually starting to get my Zen back, slowly but surely - just able to take a step back (with DP gone for a few days for work!!) and start discarding a few things that snuck into my parenting toolbox that I most definitely don't want. Mainly for DS, but really wanting to lose the yelling cos DD doesn't need to be surrounded by angst Plus, my voice was husky on the weekend and I was really afraid it was permanent, but it's coming good now, thank goodness!
I went to bed far too late last night so tonight I'll tuck in with some mags and books (all on building, landscape stuff and an Amnesty mag for variety!), to make up for the frenzy of productivity I had.
Hope we all have a good night and lovely weekends
Skybie...ringlets how gorgeous!!!! My mum had ringlets as a little girl but DD has the same hair I had when I was born, when she was first born it was very dark and stood straight up on end like a cartoon that has been electrocuted! It stayed that way for 9 weeks. DH bathed her for the first time and when he came back it was there in all its glory . She also had 'frosted' tips on the end, needless to say my hairdresser aunty is extremely impressed! She had her 1st haircut last week as it is very knotty atm. Some people find out at their ultrasounds the sex of their baby, we found out 'it' had hair lol!
Maya, DS certainly sounds like he knows what he wants is little sis to have! Hope your amber beads work, they work wonders for us here. DD has been cross cutting and has 3 teeth cut but wont come any further than breaking the gums and sittihg there. But I have found the beads are just fantastic! Brings back those smiles everytime!
Enjoy your weekend ladies x

: spelling...as usual.
I've been thinking of you all in the last 24 hours especially - LD, we must be on the same wavelength!!
Not much time to post - been flat out between DS, DD, packing the house and dealing with colds (and now, today, a burst ear drum from an infection I didn't even know DD had...prolly cos she's wearing her amber necklace )
Be back when I get a clear chance to write more than 3 sentences...
Hey LD, I meant to post in here the other day. We just got back from a big trip away. Both kids were awesome on the 11 hour drive, especially considering they were sick.
We have started DD on some solids, not much just a little bit every few days, she demolished it all today so might do a bit of a cook up this weekend and stock up the freezer. DD is trying very hard to get up on her knees lately, she is super determined.
How is everyone else?
ETA ouch Maya a burst ear drum? Poor little T, I hope she is better soon I know how horrible it is when they are sick. The amber necklaces are great though aren't they.
