Happy Birthday for yesterday Theodore!
Happy Birthday for today Maddison!
Happy Wedding Anniversary Saffi!
Congratulations Amber!
Hi to everyone else and big thanks for Tay's birthday wishes
We had the best day on Saturday and the cake turned out really well ... yay! The weather ended up being great and everyone had fun! We are really lucky and proud to have Tay in our lives and are very blessed to share her special day with our friends and family. I intend to put some pictures on facebook if anyone is interested? PM me and I will give you my name to add me. I have tried putting pics on here, once and it was hard. Maybe I am just going the long way around?
We went to the zoo yesterday with my family. What a great day and how great is the Melbourne Zoo. I have been before, but forgot just how good it is. The kids were so well behaved, it makes me wonder what my parents think, because everytime they visit my kids turn into angels? Go figure.
Tayl, knock on wood, has been going to bed at 7-.730 the last 3 nights, sleeping through, no crying through the night and waking up at 8am or later. We are ecstatic, considering this is the child that cry through the night normally!
Anyway better go clean my house that resembles a bomb site!

Happy Birthday Maddison.
Glad Tay's birthday turned out well.
Trish Maddi sounds like Joel she has a thing for icy cold water.
Sounds like you all had a good time.
No more bleeding just cramping all the time
Happy anniversary Saffi.
Nic Willow's Little boy Logan was born on Nov 1st as-well.
Great job with the list.
Ange how nice of Lu to share lol
Registered User
Thanks Nic - the list is great
Trish - glad to hear the camping trip went well. Maybe its worth getting K checked out at the docs if the diarrhea continues??
Ange - sickie burp sounds noice... not!
Kazaraz - glad to hear everything went well on the weekend. We had great weather over the weekend and today its like winter again!
Mo - love the new av!
We had our photo session on Saturday, and I've seen a sneak peak on Chrissys blog, and now I cant wait to see the rest of the pics! Even though I've only seen a sneak pic, if any of you Melb gals are after some professional photos, she is your woman! And its good to support a fellow BB'er!
Had a very hectic day yesterday, we had a christening of my friends baby, of which I was the god mother, then we had a 1st birthday party, and then we had dinner for my sister and dads birthday - what a crazy day!
Anyway, better go and get dinner ready
Have a great night everyone

I am so happy right now... The site wasn't working for me last week and I couldn't see any new posts and I think I may have posted two similar things cuz I thought the first one didnt work, so if you had thought I had completely lost the plot, it was't all my fault!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE I HAVE MISSED!
Also, Happy Anniversary to everyone that in this month I remember from last year that there was a few of us celebrating our Wedding Anniversary's in Oct. I was so exciting about our Anniversary this year cuz we are going out to dinner to this new restaurant in town (that really is NOT child friendly), but if we go out without Tiera, there is only my SIL to babysit! I really dont think I am ready for her to look after T on her own. She is 20 and loves T to bits, and T will be in bed before we leave, but I'm just really not comfortable with it! DH told me I had 4 weeks to get use to the idea and just get over it! Grrrrr The really annoyed me. So I dunno what I am going to do, I was thinking of asking my nan to come and stay for the night and baby.... hmmm I just don't know what DH will say about that.
Anyways..........
Saffi - Congrats on you 6 years! I hope you had a great night. Its really rewarding doing you own invites isn't it?! I too do all my own invites and announcment. I bet they look great!
Alz - Good luck with the train cake! How cute
Trish - Good to hear your camping trip went well! Tiera gets a little out of sorts on the first night in a new place, the 2nd night she is usually back to noraml again. I hope K is feeling better soon. Poor little man. T gets d n nappy rash when her teeth are playing up... Its not nice!
Falguni - lol Its that sweet.... You little girl is a sharer!Dont you love that they start sharing at the wrong times! hahaha
Kazaraz - Great to hear everything went so well with Taygan's party! I can't wait to take Tiera to the zoo! I think She's love it, she laughes and pats my dogs all the time, so it would be interesting.
Kellie - Sounds like you had an action packed weekend! Gotta love em! You must be looking forward to getting you photos back! We have been talking about family pic since we had T... still waiting! lol
To anyone I may have forgotton..... HI!
I hope you have a great day all

Hi everyone....Not long till Max's birthday now! Sunday! Yaykes!
Kellie - I found the giraffe cake and I'm going to make it too.... I'm stealing your thunder!
Max is still waking up tonns in the night. He is over his illness but still wakes up and SCREAMS until I boob him! He is hysterical, thrashing around, pushing me away, just tragic! Don't know what to do! He wont have anything else, no bottle, no dummy, nothing! I really hope this is a phase! I end up taking him to the spare bed, where he sleeps, but then I am basically 'on tap' for him...he just rolls over if he has a bit of a whinge, latches and goes back to sleep.
Better go, he's standing up and can't get down! Will BBL for personals!

Hey ladies,
I have been lurking for the past week or so. Just been busy trying to get quotes on moving up to Mackay maybe!! Not quite sure yet. Lol. Rent up there is so expensive!! Though we are only paying $300 now and paying it to my mum so it's not really dead money but for the same up there is $500!!
Happy birthday to all the little ones that I missed!! Hope you all had a wonderful day...I know you would have all gotten spoilt!!
Well I will be back later with personals. DH is on late shift and won't be home till 9 tonight!!

Mini - Caden is the same when getting over illness. I think they can still be a bit sensitive after the symptoms have passed, but they can also get into bad habitsIf he is in all other ways happy and healthy, then maybe start considering some settling strategies to help him off to sleep. If mummy and boob are on tap, he will never want to settle any other way! Why would you?
Kazaraz - I will check out the cake!
Nickers - thanks for the list. Looks like the 17th will be busy!
Saffi - Happy Anniversary hun, what a great milestone! We had our 3 year one this year which was nice, but we have been together for almost 10 years which seems like more of an achievementBut 6 years married is excellent.
Trish - I do portraits, paintings, caricatures, etc. I love art, and am trying to find innovative ways of combining baby and artI have done some baby portraits which I am really proud of. I will post my website when it is up and running.
Mum2Squidgee - we are getting some professional photos done here in Perth at the end of October. I think it is such a great present for grandparents that have everything! It turns out alot cheaper as well if you consider the money saved on presents.
To everyone else - hope all is well.
AS for us, having an excellent week, Caden has been such a little champ. He is so lovely when he is not sick, so much more fun. He is getting more comfortable with me out of the room, so I can duck to the loo without an audience. He is quite happy to play with his toys while I cook or clean, which means the house is much neater.
Party plans are in full swing, just need to make and freeze the cupcakes to reduce my workload on the day.
Have a great week!

Awww, shucks, thanks for remembering us Mo!! Lovin' the av by the way, very envious of that bump!Willow's Little boy Logan was born on Nov 1st as-well.
Hey everyone, I can't even remember when I last posted so just going to do a global "hi" and "Happy birthday!!" for all the little ones I have missed.
Things going great here. Back at work 2 days a week - first week was hell but we're settling in nicely now. Lovin' the extra money and have gone a bit crazy shopping, clothes, perfume, white goods, new leather lounge...LOL! Ah well, why not, have being living to a budget for 12 months so going a little crazy for a few weeks buying all the stuff we've been holding off on.
L is sleeping through the night - WOOOT!! Does 7pm-6-6.30am...still eluding 12 hours but hey, I'll take 11 hours uninterrupted sleep!
We are still b'feeding and no plans to stop, he's down to about 3-4 feeds during the day now and doesn't feed at all overnight anymore (did I forget to say WOOT!!?? LOL)
Not long till his bday now...we got our b'day invites from a MPM, Little Fig Creations (Summerluven) she's actually one of my best friends so she does all our stuff - they turned out awesome as usual!! I am playing it a bit safe on his cake and just doing the ole number 1 with smarties...my mum is trying to convince me to do the train but I'm still not convinced!!
Anyway, best be off. I lurk often but don't always get to post, especially when I'm at work.
PS Trish - glad to hear the trip went well! I was thinking of you and hoping K slept! Hopefully his tooth/teeth will pop soon and he'll stop waking again. L is cutting a new tooth too atm, but thankfully it's not interupting his sleep at night.

Back Again!!!
Saffi - Oh... chella... lol. That is just what i call her for some reason. Chella, Chella Bella etc... hahaha. Didnt even realise I had written that here. Are you going to keep in touch with your Mothers Group Mums?
Amber - Great to hear you had a good weekend! Congrats again! What does the award mean for you guys? Geoff must be so proud! Anth never got in there the other day, had a client call EARLY in the morn so had to run off. He keeps saying though that as soon as he does get a spare 5 seconds (which isnt very often) he will call in!
Amelia - Good luck with your move! Hope you find a bit more of a reasonable house than $500. WOW!
Kellie - Oh I cannot wait to see your pics!! I LOVE professional pics. Cant wait to get my 2 done again, just have to save up a bit of money..... LOL
Alz - Im so sorry to hear of your Grandma. It must have been really hard getting her gift...
Hmmmm still nothing much to report here.... Going to the movies with my sis tomorrow night (Gold class too! Never been there!) Should be good, I am definately looking forward to a night out! And Thursday, I am taking my 2 babies to a big indoor play centre! They will have an ABSALOUTE ball so really looking forward to that. Apart from that, same old same old...
Hope everyone has a great night!

G'day all,
At my parents about to pack up and head back. Went to the naturopathic/nutrionist lady for Ryan, he's on Breuners Wellness Tonic, Cod Liver Oil (Orange flavoured for kids 0-2years 4 drops a day) and some kids probiotics that get mixed into his bottle 3 times a day. It's only been a day and already he's woken up without pulling his ears, his nose isn't running and he hasn't had any reflux! Fingers crossed it keeps going, she also gave me a recipe to cure a ear infection naturally.
Get Garlic Oil capsules
Castor Oil
Puncture and squeese out the garlic oil onto a hot spoon, add the same amount in castor oil and wait till warmed. Gently pour down the ear and stick some cotton wool in their ear and try and keep them laying on their side for a few minutes. Allow the cotton wool to absorb the oil as it comes back out. Do this twice a day till well. She said she did it with all her kids and they never needed antibiotics for ear infections. Cost me $150 to be told that so I hope it helps someone out

Rebecca - congrats on the move to Townsville. I know you'll be so much happier being near family and friends, not to mention work and of course shops that actually have things in them.
Re cows milk, I asked this of the MCHN yesterday. She recommended substituting the lunchtime bottle of formula with 200ml of full cream milk to begin with and then go from there. The other thing she said was to try to have them drink from a sippy cup and not the bottle. She said that you could mix formula and milk and gradually replace it with all milk. I figure that if they are eating cheese, yoghurt etc with no probs then milk should be ok straight up. She also said that there was no point to the toddlers formula unless the child had special nutritional needs. I think Trish said the other day they have lots of sugar in them. Does that help? Not good about the polyps. Hope the test comes back in the clear.
Amber/Becky - yes I do meet up with some of the ladies at my crawlers class and at the State Library. Is the Brisbane meetup on a Sunday?
Kaz - I hope you have a better night tonight. I reckon your DH will owe you big time when he gets home from his business trip.
Celtic - interesting recipe for earaches. I'd like to see L lie still enough to get oil into his ear in the first place. Can you get odourless garlic oil?
Mo - 12 months needles. Just when L thought it was safe to go back to the Drs LOL
Becky - hope you have a nice night out at the movies. What are you seeing? Can highly recommend Gold Class.
Anyway, day off tomorrow. Will be at home waiting for our new fridge to be delivered. Have the washing machine already loaded up and waiting for me to start when I get up in the morning. Hopefully I don't need to hang around all day and L and I can get out at some point.
I'll check in tomorrow.

Heeeyyyyy all!
Had a great night out although the movie sucked!!! Saw Eagle Eye because it looked sooo good. Trust me, it was up there with the worst films I have ever seen at the movies! LOL. And dont ask me why because I have absaloutely NO idea what it was about! LOL. Gold class was great though! Lucky those chairs were comfy.....
Sorry but I wont be making the meetup. Day before Chelsea's birthday so we have quite a bit on, BBq lunch etc just for a few friends. Maybe next time!!
Anyway, Im a bit tired now. be back tomorrow. Hi to all.

Registered User
Happy Birthday Mateo!
Julia - I would prob wait til you get back for needles. He could be aggitated for a few days afterwards. And I really dont think a few weeks is going to make much difference hey? That sux about the Dr. But then again, at least all it is is a cold and it is getting better hey.... Hope it doesnt take long!
Ok, hope everyone is well. Talk soon
