Sorry would love to KK but cant afford to this year

[maz]

Rach was away for 3 weeks....I cant remember when she was getting back...will get onto Belle aswell

Awesome news...my little budda pull's himself up now and he took 3 steps, holding onto the couch.

other awesome news....since Vy doesnt wear a nappy anymore, she's gone down a clothing size...back into 1's!

[mum3girls]

Yeah Maz, I don't think Rach is back 'til the end of next week or the start of the week after.

Well done Mat!!!!! You are so awesome, I bet mummy and daddy are very proud of you

Caddie - Oh sorry, I quickly scanned over the last couple of pages to see who had said yes, but hadn't PM'd me yet - must have missed you.

Oh bugger, Ambah's not cooperating with bed time at the moment, she's better when Aaron puts her to bed, he's in the shed having a drink with a friend, I better go get him in and see if that works.

helen - it's asking for a password. I'll go check out your birth announcement thread.

3 steps - woohoo Mat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nelle]

Wow Mat, well done on the steps!

Helen, they are adorable. Man oh man. They look pretty different, am I right?

Did I tell you that River can reach his doorknob now? So he spent one night running out at any old hour (stayed in once we were in bed thankfully), and then I moved the safety gate from Si's doorway to Riv's. He wasn't happy.

[Visitor7]

nelle - Nina is doing that now too. Bummer isn't it. Our doorknobs are hard to turn, so I didn't think she'd be able to turn them for a while. But she's figured it out. She keeps going into Emily's room during the day while she's sleeping, and saying 'wake now bubby, wake now' I might have to get a gate for Emily's room, to keep Nina out!

[Nelle]

I might have to get a gate for Emily's room, to keep Nina out!

Yeah, that's what Si's gate was for, but the boys tend to nap at the same time, and Riv doesn't often head in there, it's a pretty boring room.

[caddie]

Helen your babies are beautiful! Did they say when you could take them home? All these babies are making me so clucky i need to hold one that cries lots! lol

[**Helen**]

PMSL Caddie....I bet it wouldnt work, you would just want to cuddle them and settle them, add another to your bed

Nelle-They do look different.

Thanks guys, for your comments

[maz]

oh helen...I couldnt help myself..i had a little cry over how gorgeous and lucky you are to have your beautiful babies. I am so jealous of you right now, but in a good way. I have to ask...who came first? Gabriel or Tallulah? were you able to hold them straight away? I think I need to trim my feathers down.

Caddie - good luck tomorrow chickie babe...im sure your gonna kick buttox woman

OMG on riv being able to reach the door knobs...he is a tall boy though babe...and super gorgie

Hello everyone hope your keeping cool if your hot

Better go and make some food for the animals

[shellbell3]

Yeah Ash is another with door knobs thats why I wonder if she'll stay in her big girl bed when she gets it, I can so see her running the hallways! I always have to keep front door locked too or she'll be straight out there.

Caddie- Good luck with markets. Is it tomor or was it today?

We went into city today for the walk against warming march but being on my feet got me so dizzy, had nice picnic by yarra afterwards tho and Ash had a ball. Got so wound up tho it took her over an hour to settle to sleep tonight.

[Visitor7]

We've had a few episodes in the past where Nina would get out the front door, and I'd find her at the front in the garden She hasn't done it in a while though, thank goodness!

When do you think you'll move her into a big bed shell?

We're having dinner at the beach tomorrow night, should be nice weather for it. It was soooo hot here today, got to about 34. Even the pool temp was 32!

[lilima]

I tried to post last night, and lost it!
I am sure that I wrote a message for Maz, now I can't remember what i said.

Shell - You didn't get caught up in the Santa parade in own today? I saw on the news tonight that it was on today.

J can reach the doorknobs, but they are a little strange and he can' turn them.

So far he doesn't leave his room, but give him time, and I am sure that he will.

J and ADH has gastro again for the fourth time since july. So far I don;t have it, but knowing my luck I wil lbe posting differently by the morning. J chucked all over Dh last night, and was up for hours overnight, just feeling rotten. TOday he chucked twice, but I managed to get the bucket in front on him both times.

DH on the other hand, is a whole other issue. he was working today in echuca, anyway it really hit him this evening when he was driving home. He got as far as Rochester (an hour from our house) and got so sick that he couldn't go on, and went into the A&E at the hospital. Anyway he is still there. At this point I am not sure ifhe will make it home tonight, and I can't drive out and get him, as I have a sick little boy here.
I am just SO HOPING I DONT GET IT AGAIN!

Oh - I should also add that I hope DH is ok - when I re read the above I sound like I don't care about DH!
take care all

[Visitor7]

We know what you meant meg! I hope you don't get it again. What a pain in the butt that J & Dh have it though. Ruins your weekend then.

nelle - what times do your boys sleep? How do you get them to sleep at the same time? Nina doesn't often have a day sleep, but IF she does, it's NEVER the same time as Emily! Emily sleeps roughly 2 hours mid morning, and another 2 hours mid afternoon. If Nina sleeps, it's about 2 in the middle of the day. I would give anything for them to have a day sleep at the same time.

[shellbell3]

Meg- God, I so hope you don't get again either, just constantly wash yr hands and disenfect everything, hopefully you'll avoid it. Your DH prolly in good spot being at hosp at least they can set him up some IV fluids. We missed santa parade was on earlier than when we were in city.

Jodi- Big girl bed is on order, hoping to get before xmas and then we'll start her off in it, even tho we have bassinet for bubs I'd still like to have Ash settled in her bed before bubs comes. I don't know how you cope with the weather up there!

[Nelle]

Aww no Meg! What Shell said, handwash handwash! Hope your family gets well soon, and you stay healthy!

Jodi, the boys go down the same time, but usually Si's asleep before Riv. So I have some time in the space when Riv's asleep and I haven't realised Si's awake yet. They can go down around 1ish? Sometimes earlier sometimes later, depending on what time they woke, and what we've been up to. I'm blessed that Riv's happy just to hang out in his room. He's a kid who really seems to need his downtime, which is why they go down the same time. I don't care if Riv doesn't sleep (he usually does), but he needs to have some 'rest' time. I suspect Si the chatty won't day sleep for as long...

[Visitor7]

down time ... now I've been telling Nina that I think she needs to have some down time during the day as well. But she won't listen to me! She thinks it's too boring to sit still for more than 30 seconds.
