Celtic that would be one expensive cleaner lol!i love looong showers! i know its bad but its the only time i get to myself these days!
Saffi i left you out sorry:) Hope you had fun at the library today! i want to take Myles in one day was it good?
xx
Amber - it was excellent. There were heaps of bubs and kids there today. Also the Writers Festival was on so there were school kids and people everywhere. Not going to go for the next couple of weeks as it will be school holidays. Let me know if you want to go and I'll meet u there.
Kaz - thats no good about Mia's ears/throat. Going to the ENT may be a waste of money but then again it could be peace of mind. :dunno:
Mo - great that the scan went well. You're only 12 weeks? Seems like you have been pg forever already. Did you happen to see Cookie's bits?
Tiff - I've heard Fiji is very kid friendly. Been thinking it might be a good place to go for our next holiday (whenever that will be). Plane flight not too long either.
I had an afternoon nap today. L had a marathon sleep after our outing and slept for 3+ hours. I had to go in to wake him so I could pick DH up from work. Amber - another reason to go the library as it wears bubs out.
Oh well. Better think about heading off to bed.
I'll check in over the weekend.
Oh No...Max has been snoring lately so now I'm worried!! He has NOT got a cold! I have had my adenoids and tonsils out and have constantly had probs with my nose being blocked all the time...I'm going to get Max's lil snoz checked out...maybe that is why he keeps waking up!
Amber Missed you guys too! :)
Mo - Great to hear all is well with Cookie! Its the best hearing that speedy heart beating away! Awwww I really miss being pregnant! :)
Julia - It would be hard not to worry when know your bub is snoring and shouldn't be, but I bet what ever it is the Drs will have him sorted out in no time!
Kazaraz- Your poor little girl! That must be so horrible for her. I too would go and have it all checked out by a specialist, some kiddies are prone to certain things, but there surely has to be so kind of a reason?!
Amber - Awwwwww that sounds way too cute having Myles dress up as cupid! I can't wait to see they pics! :D
Celtic - I looooooooooooove having relaxing showers when Josh is home and Tiera is in bed, but Josh (DH) doesn't understand that and ALWAYS comes in!!! lol I just can't do anything without being interupted these days! ;)
Saffi - Fiji is very kid friendly and I ould highly recommend it for anyone! My brother got married there 2 yrs ago and it was perfect for couples and then oing back this year with Tiera, it was perfect for bubs and we also took my 8y/o nephew and ideal for kids! You can do what ever you wanna do and the people are soooooo friendly! Also resort babysitters and Fijian nannies are really cheap if u want a few hrs alone or need some extra help. Not something I tapped into this time, but who knows... Maybe next time! :)
Tiera and I are heading to SYD today for the weekend. I have a friend's baby shower to attend tomorrow which will be great. I haven't seen her since she got pg so I'm really looking forward to seeing this belly of hers! I am just a litle worried cuz T has a little bit of a cold and I know there will be other babies there.... hmmmm I'll just wait and see how she is tomorrow morning and decide then what we will do.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Take care
Nickers - thanks for the advice. I would hate him to have surgery, but if it corrects a problem and prevents future learning difficulties, then of course we would need to have it done. He does stop breathing for a few seconds, five at the most sometimes, but I do that too so wasn't too concerned. He sleeps about 10-11 hours a night and about 3 hours during the day which seems normal. I will mention it to the GP when I visit next though as I would rather be on the safe side. DH snores but that might be an adult thing rather than a baby thing. Right now Caden is snuffly due to the flu so will take him when he is better.
Celtic - LOL about the shower. In the early days that was my one oasis of calm in an otherwise frantic day and DH would always comment on how long I spend in there. I figure a bit of water is cheaper than a nanny, a cleaner and a therapist, so he shouldn't be complaining!
Pish - it is hard to quarantine yourself when sick, I know if we did we wouldn't have been out for the last couple of months! Although we might not have gotten sick, the house-blues would have been far worst. I am sure she will be fine.
Minimax - my FIL has to be hooked up to a machine that opens his airways, otherwisse he has really bad sleep apnoea and snores badly. He said now that he has the machine it is like being able to breathe, he never realised how bad it was. He used to eat with his mouth open because his nose was blocked. Just goes to show how important those two little holes are :)
Boomba - cupid, cool! that would be so gorgeous. For Caden's first birthday I am hoping to make him a sailor outfit. I made a bee one for an event a while ago and he was the cutest thing :redface:
Saffi - Childcare seems a haven for every bug under the sun, but having said that, Caden is in family day care and has passed on more germs than he has gotten from there :rolleyes: unknowingly of course! I have never been so sick in all my life than the last couple of months. First the flu, then a small bout of gastro (I even thought I might be pg) then a BIG dose of gastro through the whole family, now the flu AGAIN! It is hard enough taking care of yourself, but throw in a cranky DH and an irritable bub, and things start blurring together to become one big messy picture that is my life :wall: Hopefully it will be over soon :pray:
Sorry if I have missed anyone, I only can get on here every couple of days so struggle to keep up! Have a great weekend :dance:
Hi ALL!!
Well it was liams first day at kindy today. It started off awful, I stayed with him for about an hour and then when I was leaving, he kicked and screamed and was shouting 'Mummy!!" For as far as I could hear him. Broke my heart, I think I cried for the next hour, LOL
Anyway I rang a few times and they said he was ok, and by the time I went to pick him up, he was having fun. I asked him if he wanted to go back next week and he said, "Yes!!" So that is good, I was so worried about him but he was better than I thought he would have been.
I have found though this afternoon he has been very clingy and cuddly towads me so maybe he is scared I am going to leave him again, poor baby...
Anyway how is everyone else? Furiously getting birthday parties ready I guess? Am I the only one who is not really having a party for CHels? Id love to but not really any of our family are up here in QLD apart from my parents so there isnt much point. We will have a nice quiet family dinner I think. She is bound to get very spoilt though!
Dragonbub - I hope you get DS snoring issues sorted out, poor little thing...
Tiff - Have a fantastic time in Sydney!!!!
Oh gosh I havent been on in a few days and i cant remember what was said on the last page. Sorry guys, will make a better attempt next time :) Hope your all well!!!
XX
Dragonbub- Agreed! Where we are you get so much free water before you need to start paying and our last water bill was $6 so I think we can cope if I escape for an extra long shower to regain sanity every now and then!
Pish- I know! I'm there relaxing away in the shower and if bubs is awake suddenly I've got DP, Ryan and two cats in the bathroom with me, need a lock on the door me thinks! lol
Got a scare yesterday got a call from the daycare centre come get ryan he has a temp, a rash and is bleeding from his ear, get an emergency appointment at the dr and his temp is coz he's been left in the sun to play with a jumper and tracksuit and has a bit of sunburn, his rash is either the harmless viral rash he had before now hes off antibiotics or that he was rolling around in the sand pit and fake grass and the blood is because he scratched down in his ear! Ahhh *stress* lol
Hi everyone,
How was your week?
Mine was crazy busy. Well lots of great news this week. Ethan started walking!!!! He can take 1 and 2 steps by himself which is so exciting. Dh was there to witness it all too so that was great.
Cows milk is going well. I am just giving E about 50mls to taste it with his arvo tea. Well he loves it. In the holidays we are going to try giving him brekky when he wakes up instead of a bottle and giving him a cup of cows milk for morning tea. Hopefully by the end of the holidays he will have that working well so it isn't so bad for Nana when I am at work.
Looking forward to the holidays. Will spend lots of time with Ethan to make up for me working. Unfortunately, I have heads of work to do from home but that will be ok. One of the perils of being a school teacher.
As far as the vacuum phobia goes. He still hates it but oh well. He will grow out of it.
Swimming this week was great. Ethan cried the first time he was dunked and then got over it and didn't cry again all lesson. Yay!!! He had this funny expression of his face when he noticed all the other babies crying as if to say 'what's all the fuss about'.
Very amusing.
Anyway better be going. Hope all you sydneyites are enjoying the heat wave.
Celtic that would have been a scare....
I had a scare with Ty yesterday too which i rushed him to my gp without an appointment.
since Thurs he had a temp of high 38's so been giving him nurofen and panadol and his eyes just told he didnt feel well.
anyway yesterday when waking i took his temp he was 40.9...... i stripped him t a nappy and singlet and took him straight up. the doc was already in seeing someone and i had to wait like 30min. it was air conned and i took some water which he drank, by the time we got in there his temp was down to 37.2 thankfully.... anyway he has a middle ear infection so now both boys have them and both on antibiotics.
Evening Ladies,
Where do I start......
Nickers & Celtic - God they are some scares...Thankfully Rhys has never had a temp higher then 38!!
Alz - Rhys has that same expression on his face when he gets dunked too. Absolutely loves it though.
Becky - He will get use to going to kindy!! My nephew absolutely loves it and hates being at home not around other kids.
Pish - I hope you and T had a wonderful time in Sydney!!
Saffi - I am in the same boat as you with teething. Rhys has all 8 and I am thinking it is molars but it is so hard to feel for them same he just don't sit still no more. LOL
Claire - Great to hear you are settling in well. It always takes ages for me to settle cause I am forever re-arranging the furniture/ornaments.
That is all I can remember for now. For the ones I missed "Hello and I hope you are all well!!"
Rhys has started walking and it taking steps in bunches of 10-20 steps and the expression on his face when he relises what he is doing is priceless. We had such a gorgeous weekend in QLD this weekend...perfect weather with gorgeous summer afternoon storms!! The best way to end a day with a lightning display from your back yard!!
Well I off now to sort through my PartyLite gear. I have just started with them and can't wait to go through all my stuff!! YAY...
Night ladies.....
hey ladies
a shocking weekend here, had a family reunion to drive to 4 hours from where we live on saturday morning. it was pretty good but most of craigs family i was meeting for the first time as he doesnt have much to do with his mums side. we had to stay in the dodgiest motel though. i could have dealt with it if it was just dodgy, but it was dirty as well, i had to clean wee off the toilet seat before i used it so i wasnt exactly comfortable sleeping in the bed and poor lochy wasnt even allowed to crawl because i was scared he would catch something lol. at least i dont have to do it for another five years.
then had to drive home today with a tired grumpy boy. no good
i feel sorry for the bubs who arent the best at the moment. went through last week with loch only drinking milk cos he just refused to eat food.
saffi- do they have a baby reading club or something or do you just go and read him books???
becky- yeah im organising lochs party. did you have one for liam?
amber, im leaving the cake making to my professional as well ;)
amelia and alz, swimming lessons sound fun. i am going to start them in summer.
nickers, been such a long time since we have crossed paths :)
and hello to
trish, dragonbub, celtic, pish, minimax, kazaraz, trinity, star and anyone else i have missed :lol:
will catch up again soon
Evening all
Busy day today. PILs came over and MIL and I clipped one of my dogs (she really needed it - poor thing), then I washed both of them, took L out for a walk, cooked a chook and did the ironng. Phew!
Alz - had to laugh this morning. My DH was doing the vacuuming, with the vacuum hose in one hand and carrying L with the other. He seemed perfectly happy being around it. He was unhappier being left in his activity centre than anything else.
Nick - that would have been so scary. Poor Ty! But at least now they are both being treated so that should be the end of it.
Kate - the State Library isn't like a normal library. Anyway, they have this section where they have toys and other activities. A couple of women (and all the mums and dads there) sing nursery rhymes to the bubs and then after a while a man with a guitar and a harmonica takes over. I don't think I'm doing a good job describing it. Go to the state library website for more info. Anyway apart from the parking it is free and heaps of fun.
Question - how do you brush bub's teeth? I have a tooth brush for him, one of those finger brushes, I try while he is in the bath, when he is on the change table, let him play with the brush, hold him down, even brush my teeth in front of him so he gets the idea, just to mention a few things I have tried. As soon as I go anywhere near his mouth he clamps it closed. I don't want to make it a negative experience for him but at the same time need to get in there and get him used to it. Any suggestions?
Today L ate lettuce for the first time. I was making a salad for lunch so to keep him quiet I put a leaf on his tray. He actually gnawed at it.
Anyway, its a school night so I better get to bed.
Hello to all the mums and bubs out there. More during the week.
Hi All, had a great weekend here ... busy but good. Trying to get our yard sorted for Tay's birthday party, and we need to put all the toys back together because we havent unpacked them since we moved :dance:
Nickers & Celtic - I hope that your babies are ok now. There is nothing worse than when they get sick, you feel so helpless. We have had a few 40+ temps with the girls over the time and it scares you. A gp I seen once said that a 40+ temp in a child isnt that bad ... what?!*$ That goes against everything anyone has ever told me, and I do wonder about some gp's and whether they have got their licences out of a Weeties box.
Misskate it sounds like to motel room was really dodgey ... you poor things! There is nothing worse than being in an environment where you just dont feel clean.
Congrats for Rhys walking MonkeyMan'sMummy, when they start walking around this age they just look so cute and so little!
Saffi I didnt start brushing Mia's teeth till a bit later when she was interested, now I cannot get the brush off ofher. I think she like the taste of the toothpaste. I brush them first and then get her to do it and tell her what to do, she is getting pretty good. I think we started at about 18months.
Alz, Dragonbub, Pish, Minimax, Becky, Boombaz & Trinity and anyone else I have forgotten ... hi :hug:
Oh, one more thing .. how do I put on a birthday countdown ticker or an age ticker for the kids? I have been looking this morning and cannot find where you do it. Found the pregnancy ticker, but that doesnt do me much good as I am not pregnant! :wall:
Hey everyone!
We had such a busy weekend. It was MIL's birthday yesterday so we had a BBQ at our house with the family. We spent all day Saturday cleaning, shopping, cooking, making salads, and doing odds and ends then had the party at lunchtime yesterday. No one left until 4:30pm and then we had to leave (very late!) to go to a first birthday party. Of course there was still cleaning up to do when we got home so we are all pretty tired! The weather was perfect though so it worked out really well.
K had a great time with the family, he was all smiles and cuteness. FIL was so horrible to MIL though, he'd given her a card with $50 in it for her birthday (he lives in a nursing home so can't get to the shops). When MIL dropped him off to his home after the party he asked her to take him out tomorrow, MIL said she can't as she has her elderly mother staying o'night as well as her brother who lives 2 hours away, so she needs to be their host. FIL cracked it with her and demanded his $50 back :angry:. Who does that??? He's so selfish! Grrr....sorry for the vent!
Saffi - I'm glad you had a great time at the library, it sounds like fun! I brush K's teeth with a wash cloth when I bath him, he only has two prominent teeth still!
misskate - Yuck, that motel sounds disgusting! And that long drive must have been so tiring for you all. I hope Lachlan feels better today.
Amelia - Congrats on Rhys walking, what a clever boy! K is so far off from walking LOL! What is PartyLite?
Nic - Oh my goodness how scary! I hope poor Tyron makes a quick recovery, ear infections are so horrible and painful.
Alz - Wow, Ethan is clever walking! Enjoy the holidays with him :)
Celtic - That must have been so scary when the DC centre called you! I'm glad Ryan is OK, I hope his rash is nothing serious. How many days is he in DC?
Becky - I'm glad Liam ended up enjoying kindy, it's so hard to leave them when they are so upset isn't it? It took Joel a few sessions before he stopped crying when I left. He always settled within minutes of me leaving, but man it was horrible. I love your ticker photo of Chelsea BTW!
Pish - I hope you had a nice time in Sydney for your friend's baby shower!
Amber - How did the party go on the weekend? Myles would have looked so cute!
Kazaraz - I'm glad you worked out how to post a thread! Have you found a good cake place now? You can find birthday tickers at sites like lilypie.com or tickershack.com. If you're having trouble let me know and I'll try help!
Julia - Max sounds like he is really on the move now! K's sleep has been pretty dodgy too lately, I think because two teeth are trying to come through at once. Some nights he wakes up constantly so I go in and either give him back his dummy and tuck him back in or I give him some Panadol if he is waking up too frequently. On a good night he only wakes up once, but lately it's two or three times. Luckily he is so easy to settle back to sleep, I think he just likes to know I'm there!
Mo - I'm glad your NT scan went well last week! I am going to harrass and pressure you for the next 8 weeks now to find out the gender :p
Viv - Where are you these days? I hope you and James are well!
Kellie - Did you end up going to the Mattel Playhouse?
Hi to everyone!
Thanks Trish, I will see if I can work it out!
OK, so I have made it, but can you help as to where I put it so it comes up?? Sorry to be annoying!
Trish - PartyLite is a candle company. You do shows at people houses for them and they get $50 voucher for just having the party and then 20% of the $550 show to spend on products that they want and I earn between 22%-33% on what gets sold!! Visit www dot partylite dot com dot au. If you want me to mail you some catalouges or anything let me know.
Kazaraz - Sorry, I've been hanging out washing! You need to copy and past the BB code, not the HTML for your ticker to show up properly. See how you go!
Amelia - That sounds great! I'll definitely PM you if I have some pressies I need to buy!
You put the code into your signature then preview it to make sure it is working properly :-)
Turned out Ryans rash was heat rash from sweating and over heating being left in the sun and he got sunburnt. Ryan's last day of daycare this week! He was in for one day a week, then he got a free day a week I didn't want so he was in two days a week (twice the chance of catching illness's!)
I posted on the uni forums and have two mums wanting to make a local mums group, going to get Ryan into baby swim classes Thursday mornings and see if they want to do it as well.
Anyway he's being really really whingey today, his cheeks are red but no temperature so maybe teeth or the sunburn annoying him. Will write back personals later :-)
hey all
still here -just watching *shifty*
saffi - i gave james his toothbrush before he had teeth. he has watched DH brush his teeth when they're in the shower for 7 months, so he was dying to have a go. he gets a bit of paste and he hangs onto it while they shower. he does a cursory brush and dh finishes it at the end. dh puts his thumb on james' chin and then does the bottom ones... he also does the part where the top ones are coming through.
i say, 'brusha brusha' when he's in the bath and i do my best to chase him round to brush.
speaking of top teeth... finally the top left popped through. thank god. the kid has been awful at night. the hot weather hasn't been helping.
he's standing on his own all the time now and shifting weight. he's definitely plotting how to get moving but he spooks himself when he shifts too much weight off one foot. it's cute.
he also stands up and dances to the night garden theme tune. bending his knees in time. it's so damn cute it makes me want another one. *shock*
also, dh revealed on saturday (after a couple of beers) that he wants another one "just like james"...
eeeeek.
*bats away dh with broom*
(secretly i've got the ticking back again... gah!)
nooooooo.
i would like at least a few months sleep before i try that **** again.
hope all the babes are well...
LOL Viv, sounds like #2 isn't that far away for you...How gorgeous bopping along to In the Night Garden! K loves to clap along, he still can't stand yet!
Kazaraz - Yay, your ticker works! Taygan is soooo cute :)
Oh, I forgot to mention earlier - K is BITING me now when I B'feed him, OUCH! I can't help but yell out "ouch" because he draws blood. K then screams his head off and our feeding session comes to an abrupt end. He knows he shouldn't do it, but he does. What do I do? I am thinking it might be time to wean? It makes me want to cry, we have nearly made it to 12 months, I would be so sad if I have to wean him before then :(
Afternoon all!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends.
I had a great time down at the baby shower. I also got a little shopping done which was handy. Its always good going to see mum n my brothers too and this w/e I got to see my 8.5 y/o nephew too which was fantastic! Went down Fri and came back last night. I usually stay longer cuz I think its a little unfair to have Tiera in the car for 4hrs each way, but I think I have been away from home enough lately.
Celtic - That sounds terrible that the daycare centre left him in such warm clothes in the heat of the day! You poor thing that must have ben scarey. Hope Ryan is feeling much better now
Nickers - Middle ear infections are terrible! Have you noticed it effecting his balance at all??? I hope he's on the mend.
Alz - I too will be starting to give Tiera brekky when she wakes up n milk for morning tea soon. The only thing is when she has her milk bottle of a morning she drifts back off to slep and if I get her up she gets quite cranky, but I igure like any routine change, it'll take a little work, but we'll get there! :D
Becky - I think it'd get all upset if that was my little one crying out for me when I left him. Great to hear he enjoyed Kindy! It doesn't take them long to work out how much fun it is.
MissKate - That motel sounds discusting!! Its terrible to think that things were so durty ur lil man couldn't even crawl around! I once went to someone's house like that... I was going to an ABA (Breastfeeding asso) meeting and the lady's floor was covered in dog hair, she knew she had gess and never even bothered to vacuum!
Kaz - I love your ticker pic! It is just gorgeous
Trish - Thats terrible what your FIL did to you poor MIL. It must be hard for them being seperated like that, but things would be even worse when he does things like that!
NT - Thats so cute he dances! Tiera has just started to boogie a lttle when music comes on the TV.... I play music all day every day, but she only does it when its on the TV!!! lol
I hope I haven't missed anyone. :D
Take care all. Hope everyone has enjoyed their day
Trish- big hugs, can you use those nipple protector things? Sorry I don't know much about breast feeding but I hope it works out *hugs*
I see some people are starting on moo milk, just thought I'd ask if there was a special kind you were giving them or just normal milk? I was under the impression moo-milk before 2 yrs old was bad for them but can't for the life of me remember why or how I came to that conclusion lol.
How much do your babies eat? I ask the dr how much Ryan should have and they all say it varies from baby to baby. Ryan eats approx:
1 x 120g tin baby fruit
2-3 small pieces steamed brocolli/small cup of steamed mixed veggies
1 small slice cheese
1 100g tub baby yogurt
3 chicken nuggets/2 fish sticks
3 arrowroot biscuits
Few mouthfuls of mum & dad dinner if able
Some days he will eat all that and drop a bottle, other days he only wants some yogurt, some nuggets and has his usual bottle. Is that too much? Too little? Ryan's lost a bit of weight on the last visit. He still has 4 full bottles and does one big poop every morning but sleeping less than he used to.
Celtic How scary, Hope Ryan is better now.
Nic-Hope Ty feels better soon.
Trish Ouch on the boobie biting, hope you can both hang in there till 12 months.
I wanted o find out the gender at 12wks, so i can imagine i'll crack at the 20wk u/s lol
AFM- It was Mum's birthday yesterday, The nursing home was nice enough to lets us have lunch with her, they even set up a table in the foyer so Maddi could run around & not get cranky.
So that was nice.
Hard to believe the Monkey will be 1 in 3 days.
Not really anything else interesting happening at the moment.
Hope everyone is well.
saffi, that sounds great. i will look into it
trish - that is so sad about the biting. i'm scared of that too, especially now that top #1 has come through.
the babylove woman says they are just testing them out - which i imagine is fairly irresistible really. she says end the feed right away and don't put them back on for a few hours.
tracey hogg says: "say, ouch, don't bite mummy, that hurts"
GP says, "it often only takes one bite and breastfeeding is over"
my sis says... try as hard as you can not to scream because you can trigger a feeding strike. she says it's part of it (4 babies and multiple years later). she persisted through spaghetti nipples (ouch).
can't say i would be game to venture back into the jaws of death - and i would totally understand if you did wean now. sad but sometimes necessary.
Hi Amelia, havent seen u around here for a while!
a girl that i sell Tupperware with had a party Lite party recently and i bought a stack! my neighbour in melb had a party a while back and i loved the scents, very nice candles and things, hope you do well
Trish- ouch to the biting, not sure what to do there Nixon started biting me but i think cause my supply was getting real low and we stopped bf not long after. hope you can make it to 12month but if you cant youve already done so well!
Thanks Viv, I want to stick it out, but it hurts so much. I know I shouldn't react, but it comes as such a shock that I can't help but yell out sometimes :redface:. I feel so tender all the time now so it makes me tense each time I feed him. We just had the same episode repeat itself before. I tried not to make a big deal about it, but he still screamed and refused to feed. I'll keep persisting for a few more days and then I might ring my MCHN and see what she suggests. Oh, I keep meaning to ask - Are you still moving to Melb?
Thanks Nic, what age did you stop feeding Nixon?
Mo - Your mum and my MIL share the same b'day! It was also SIL's due date yesterday so there could have been another one born on the 21st! Wow, 3 days to Maddi's b'day, I can't believe it!!
Tiff - Glad you had a nice time on the weekend!
Celtic - I'll get back to you about the amount K eats soon, he is now being a crank on the floor so I've gotta go!
Trish I feel your pain hun! Myles was biting heaps but has stopped thank god! He occaisonally does it to get my attention but i just tell him he hurt me then he cuddles me awww! Stick with it hunny he wont do it forever!
Will be back later to catch up am about to start dinner if the monkey will let me! also i have put up pics of the fancy dress party on FB if anyone wanted a squizz!
xx
OK, I know it's rude to just breeze in and say this but...
Trish - the biting comes and goes, usually with teething. It does pass. L has had about 3 stints of biting. So don't throw in the towel just yet if you aren't ready to wean. It passes quickly. DD did the same thing.
ABA advice is to firmly say 'no biting' and plonk them down on the floor ending the feed. Didn't work straight away with L but it did work.
He's a biter though, I'm sporting a bruise on my forearm where he just decided he'd have a mung...preschool's gonna be fun :rolleyes:
BBL properly when I get a chance.
ok so have time to catch up properly!
Kate what an awful motel! did you complain? where abouts were you?
Saffi we have been brushing Myles teeth since they started appearing. We are in a clinical trial with QLD dental and we were told to brush with a small toothbrush and baby toothpaste quarter of a pea size! We brush his teeth then let him play with it!also am thinking of heading to the library on Thursday for rhyme time are you going? the yoga looks cute too!
Trish had a great time at the party! Nearly everyone dressed up which was fun! omg your FIL does sound a bit mean! Hope your MIl had a nice day though!
Mo omg 3 days:dance:! i cant believe how quickly time goes! So glad you and your mum could have a nice birthday!
Celtic Myles has really different days! One day he might eat heaps, like pasta, fruit, bickies, bread etc then other days he will just want more boob and not much food! So probably just go with the flow! probably doesnt help much hey:redface: Myles does swimming too and he loves it! Good luck with getting him in!
Tiff sounds like you had great time away!
Viv Myles dances to the night garden too its adorable! Hmmm maybe you will be popping another one out soon lol:p!
Dragonbub! Aww a sailor how adorable! Myles didnt really like the wings too much but mean mummy made him wear them lol
Becky i love your ticker pic too cute! I hope this week will be a bit easier for you with liam at kindy!:hug:
Alz way to go ethan:clap:! how exciting!
Nick hope your boys get better soon! What a scare that must have given you!:hug:
Amelia woohoo Rhys on walking what a clever boy! I bought some party light stuff a while ago i love their tea lights, especially geranium!
Kazaraz your ticker is great! What a gorgeous pic!
Willow hi hows things?
Hi to anyone i missed!
Phew that was a lot to get down!
We went to Australia Zoo yesterday! It was a great day! Lovely and hot! Myles loved all the birds and the elephants! Wasnt too keen on the tiger character thing! He loved the lil farm thing they had and was patting the goats!
I really dont want to jinx myself but he is sleeping so well now! He is still waking maybe twice a night but he is easy to get to sleep and to resettle which is making me feel better too!
The fancy dress party was so much fun! I felt a million bucks! i had some extension put in that just clip in and i can keep which is cool cause i loved my hair long! Of course DH drank waaay to much but he doesnt get to do too much cause he is always working so i didnt mind well maybe a little. My brother went as the joker(heath ledger) and was so darn scary!
Anyway better go! I think I have taken up enough room :lol:

amber i was at a family reunion in wondai which is out past kingaroy
:lol: 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!
Hey all
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....
bleh.
zzzzzzzzzzz
You guys are talking about No 2 and we are trying for No 3 ... I am starting to wonder if I am crazy? :doh:
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 :D
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! :D
