I am still laughing at ninja_turtle comment about i would like at least a few months sleep before i try that **** again. Very funny. I didnt think sleep is something you get ever again .. or does it just feel like that??
Thanks for your help Trish in setting up the ticker. I love that pic of Tay as well, she is at the stage of playing up for the camera. My 2 year is at the stage where she runs away from the camera! Although when Tay starts doing something that we think is cute, I am noticing Mia will do it as well ... like eating banana. Mia has never liked banana, so when Tay actually ate some we were pretty excited about it ... needless to say, Mia ate half a banana as well. Anything you can do ... I think!
I read your messages about the biting with breast feeding .. ouch! I have never been able to breastfeed, but can imagine this would be really painful. I hope that its a short lived issue. The kids sometimes seem to get a new thing, only for it to go out of the window in a few days. I will cross my finger that this is the case Trish!
Celtic - the guidelines I have read say that bubs should only have full fat dairy products up until 2 years old, can have milk mixed in with things like sauces and cereal from about 9 months and as drink at 12 months. Kate - I stayed in a motel in Wondai too (one on the main road Kingaroy side). Wasn't too bad but certainly not the Hilton. Amber- not going to the Library this week as have another appointment but wasn't going anyway because of school holidays. Trish - ouch! Don't have any advice for you but hope that he stops it soon. Kaz - I love the photo of Tay. My boss was telling me that his 6 year old still wakes him in the middle of the night. Will it ever end? Then we'll be up in the middle of the night waiting for them to come home from a party etc.... Viv - me thinks maybe you're the one having twins in your dreams. Ticking? Is that your biological clock? You're still a spring chicken! Going to have to try a bit harder with the teeth brushing.
Hi to everyone else.
Biting - L has got a bite mark on his arm. I suppose that one of his playmates at daycare bit him. Was going to go in to the centre and take impressions for comparison LOL.
Trish - Tiera started biting me at 5 months and although she never had teeth she would pull back until the nipple slipped out of her mouth and she'd take the nipple skin off! I went to the Dr as I got Mastitus and he couldn't believe the state of my nipple!!! lol one prob led to another and I had to wein her which was very sad. I think now that the little ones are older they would be more responsive to you telling the 'no' or ouch or what ever it is you choose to say. I wish you all the best of luck with it all. Boomba - I saw ur pics from the zoo on facebook and they are very cute! Aust. zoo is fantastic. We went up to Noosa for our honeymoon a couple of yrs ago and we went there an loved it. It was a month after Steve died so it was all a bit sad.
Sorry im a little strapped for time so hi everyone else. Hope everyone had a great night
trish - i've remembered something else my sis said about biters... if you look right at them for the whole feed and watch what the tongue is doing. they have to retract the tongue to get a good bite, so be at the ready with the pinky finger.
i remember james doing this with his gums, giving me a good nyung or two. it was because i was looking round the room, reading or whatever. once i focused on him again and sniffled at his hand or whatever, he stopped it.
god help us all if he takes to teeth biting.
babies... well, i've changed my mind. that was quick. i looked around my house yesterday, and it's a tip. there are so many things i just don't get to ... and how exactly will a newborn enable me to get to those things or cope? it won't.
i am nuts.
the urge to babify is ridiculous and illogical. stupid primal yearnings. it just rumbles away underneath the logical brain... saying... just do it....
so, no.. baby off menu for time being.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
we were up 4 times again last night. my guesses are:
1. the top #2 is doing what #1 did last week (destroy fabric of household)
2. he's working on walking which apparently increases separation anxieties....
You guys are talking about No 2 and we are trying for No 3 ... I am starting to wonder if I am crazy?
I just dont feel done ... and to think the next one will be it for babies (probably) makes me really sad. To have no little babies in the house is a prospect I dont like. BUt as my husband says, we cant have them for the rest of our lives. So the debate in our household of me wanting 3 and my husband wanting 5 still continues, and something tells me we wont be stopping at 3 and I will end up as a family of 4! But to be honest, it doesnt phase me. I can think of nothing better than being surrounded by our kids!
The only thing that could upset me is that we have twins, I dont think I would cope. My grandfather is a twin and my husband's brother just had twins ... scary!
OMG Viv you have made me feel better....Although M just pulling up and being regular moving nut he WONT LEAVE ME ALONE! Doesnt want to go in his cot during the day and takes to sleeping on my chest for the entire nap. Needless to say I'm glad I got Foxtel last thursday! Nights like yours....up at least 4 times. Seperation anxiety BAD!
No more babies here for a while....let me get the hang of this one first so I know not what to do!!
NT - I am soooooooooo clucky!!! We weren't going to start trying for #2 until Sept next year, but I think we will start trying again in about June/ July next year n see how we go! I really dont know if I can wait that long to get pg!!! I always said I wanted my first two three years apart, but I never expected to be quite so clucky. My house too looks like a bomb has hit it cuz Tiera likes to throww things!!! FUN FUN
Q & A time! This is a strage qu..... Do you find that if your bub wakes a few time during the night that they have heavier nappies in the morning or even a leaky nappy??? Tiera sleeps for about 12 hrs most nights but with her teeth, a couple of nights a week she will wake during the night and I have found that her nappy is so much fully or sometimes even leaks when she gets p the next morning.
Hmmmmm I know.... its weird, but I'm just curious!
Max will p thru his nappy / clothes / growbag / sheets almost every night! No nappy stops it...even leaks with two nappies on (even Aldi ones Viv!). Teething or no teething...he is a wee machine!
