Love the new av Donna!! Molly looks so cute :) just like irl.
We are keeping Em in her cot as long as we can. She hasn't started climbing and still has plenty of room. I'm not ready for her to be able to get out whenever she wants! lol
Do you think it's the bed or just being with you that settles her?
Thanks Ezy I love my avi too :) Sarah did a great job. I thought it might have been because it was with me at first. But she does the same with DH or if she is put in by herself. DH's other theory was that she did it cause the bed smells like me but I put a PJ top that I had been wearing in herr cot and it did nothing.
I am a little worried about her getting up all the time if she was in a bed.
lol no way Ash is going into a bed until he can escape his cot. I like having him restrained and I tried a bed a month or so ago and it was a nightmare!
Ash is teething too, all of his molars and eye teeth have popped through so he's been a bit unsettled at night and spent the last 2 nights in my bed.
Hi gilrs added a new pic of Tilly and Poppy in the bath with me, advert the eyes if you see a big fat roll!!!!!It belongs to me....:D
Indie I would put her in a bed DS went into his at 1year old and never looked back, we did have to put a gate on his room to keep him in there when he realized he could leave at anytime:o
Mel not long to go now, so exciting.
Hope everyone else is well..:p
oh Pam you're not on my friends list :(
no not long to go now. Can't wait until he decides to arrive. WAY over the pain and feeling very sorry for myself, and the boys. It's hard on them because I can't do a lot. Jaidan said to me "I can't wait until you have Elijah so you can come watch me play soccer again" :'(
:hug: Mel. It must be hard on all of you.
Pam did you ever get that pic of Poppy and Molly?
AFM After nearly 2 weeks of screaming at bedtime Molly has gone to sleep with a minimum of fuss tonight. Fingers crossed that it will continue.
Okay. Is Matthew the only bub here who has not slept through the night yet once? I am going out of my mind. I just can't get work done and I am so far behind. Getting very depressed and unsure of the way forward. :(
Pam I am not sure. Molly still wakes at least once a night.
oh Kerry :( That would be so hard :(:(
Hugs to you.
I have no idea why I called you Pam then, Kerry. Sorry :blush:
Oh Kerry I feel your pain. We do get the odd night but more often than not she ends up in the spare room with dh.
So Donna what have you decided with the bed? It's a tough one!!
I am cranky with my body. After I stopped expressing fulltime my cylce came back fairly regularly. Now in the last couple of months it's started going haywire! AF is late now by ages (not pg!!). I'm ovulating much later too like at day 19- 20. Trust it to start when we are thinking about another baby maybe. I just don't know what's going on!
Kerry Eireann is just the same I think the fact she is teething is not helping, 4 teeth coming in one go! but she wakes so much through the night .
Im hoping when we move to a new house and I will have a room for her she may settle more.
Ezyma I here you Im down to one feed nearly every other day now with Eireann and my cycles are worse now, my AF has just come 5 days early so short LP Im taking MACA its a herb that blances your hormones and helps your moods as well. I just started it so hope it does trick for my cycles.
Pam how are you doing hun, how the BF going you know with BF babies they can be slower to put on the weight at the start I agree with every one else I wouldnt be impressed with your doctor hope you are all ok.
Hiya there, Im new to these forums. My little man Blake was born 4/9/08. I also have a 3 yr old daughter, Yelina.
just read a few of the above posts - my son is still in his cot, but my daughter went into a bed at 21 months, as thats when my son was born, and I wanted her to be in her bed for a couple of months before he was big enough for a cot, so she didnt feel pushed out so he could have it. She settled down straight away and only had one night of continuous getting up, one night of getting up once and then that's it. She is a good girl though and I could communicate well with her, and we talked about not getting up in the night etc.
It always amazes me how much we could communicate then, as now with my son that age, there is nowhere near the level of talking going on. Sure he says a few words, but I could have conversations with my daughter at 20 months, explaining her baby brother was in mummy's tummy and her asking questions about it and telling anyone who would listen that she was to be a big sister etc. My son has no concept of the words sister, brother etc and defo couldn't hold a convo. he understand simple instructions "come here blake" and questions "whats that, wheres this" but only really illicits one word answers. He doesn't have many words he can say and those who can, some of them others don't understand what he says, but I do cos I'm used to him talking. He does have an extensive amount of baby signs for words that he has made up himself to try to communicate with me.
Does anyone know if this is normal for a 20 months old? The only experience I have is my daughter and that was such a different situation!

Hello RioKama! Welcome to our thread. We have bursts of activity and then it's quiet for a bit but couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of baby buddies! RE: your question about the difference on communication, I have heard often that girls pick up talking quicker than boys. But I only have Matthew so can't provide a personal opinion, lol. I guess all kids are individual and they talk when they're ready (or need to!). I'm finding that I'm saying "What?? Say what you want!!" to Matthew quite a bit now. He's pretty good though, except when he's tired and cranky.
Anyway, going to try to get him to sleep now. Fingers crossed it will be a good night!
Hi Girls
It's been a while, but I do still try to read posts and see how everyone is going. well for me, I've just taken a year's leave off work to spend with the kids. DH's new job meant he can't look after them while I work. So I should have more time to come in here and catch up.
Ashlyn is doing well. She's pretty cheeky and knows what she wants. She is starting to show and interest in toilet training so we've been reading potty books and I let her sit on the potty whenever she wants. So far she's had success with a couple of poos, but when it comes to wees she usually does it all over the floor about a minute later. The look on her face is priceless though!
I look forward to being able to catch up with everyone again. :)
Captain, to be able to take a year off sounds fantastic to me. I'm struggling to get through to Friday and feel like I'm falling further and further behind. And Matthew is so much fun, with his giggles and cheekiness, I really wish I were home with him. I am able to take long service leave this year and have been thinking hard about using some of that but I'll be needing it to look for somewhere to live next year. Anyway, it will be good to have you more often on BB and FB! :)
Pam, I've PM'd you and sent you text messages - hope the valve arrived okay for the Medela Swing and that it's working for you.
It's 2:45am so best get back to bed. Always seems like the alarm goes just after I've closed my eyes. :rolleyes:
Hey Rio :) Welcome!! Friendly bunch here we are, I love this group :)
Sounds perfectly normal to me. Ashton still isn't talking in sentences. He has a lot of words, and he says 2 together but that's about it. We have little conversations but they go more like this
"Want a bath"
"no bath"
"you want a shower"
"bath. bubble"
"ok bath with bubbles it is"
LOL
He gets across what he is after fine, but he doesn't talk like Chase did at his age. I think they say 6 words at 18 months is 'normal' and anything over that is great. Ashton has more than 50 so he has heaps of single words he uses, and he's started to parrot what I say, but conversations like you had with your daughter I don't have with Ash.
Ashtons teeth have all come through finally. It's funny watching his little face when he chews things now. You can see the fascination in his eyes that he can use those back chompers to chew!
