Maz.. Yummmmm chicko rolls!! mmmmm have you been making them yourself? i always usually have some in the freezer. But thats not together is it?
I know, i think since he started crawling he has grown up so much in his face, lost all his baby chub! I cant believe our babies are soon to be 1!!
Poor Annika :hugs: and you Ness.. it wasnt your fault hun.. it coulda just happened today and been that tight.. dont blame yourself.. shes a tough cookie..
wow ness! hair huh? I lose so much of it i better inspect my daughter!!! Im sure she will be fine if you keep the area clean and hair is so fine anyway.
Hi sharls!! Nice to hear from you.Your bub must be the first to take a step?
Annat,i dont envy you the tiredness and sickness.Hope you get some respite soon.
Poor millana has a huge rash under her arm.I just took her to the chemist because when she got out of the bath i thought they had fromed little blisters.Like chickenpox.But the area is very dry so i have to lather her with sorbolene and if no better off to the drs.Shes Had it a few days now but i wasnt worried before.
Ruby has had 1hrs sleep today.She missed the morning sleep because of playgroup and at lunch had an hr.1 min she is grumpy and the next crawling around.
Ok shes clutching at my leg,BBL
:hugs: ness could happen to anyone I am forever checkign Jack cause my hair falls out so bad
ummmmmm who asked about toothbrushs seeing as Jack has 8 teeth the washer just wasn't doing the job so I got a stages 0-2years one, and so cute the day we got it he opened his mouth up and let me brush top and bottom and we do it 2 times a day and he lets me no probs, but it could be cause he has watched me clean my teeth a million times, I am forever brushing them I am a over-brusher I let him have the brush afetr I am done
Maz website store looks fantastic
caddie :hugs: for milana hope it clears up my dr said not to use sorbalene as it isn't like the stuff from when we are kids the most of them have stuff added now, I would be more inclined to use cetaphil cream or something
Kelly 55 I know I wonder if we have set some sought of record I was looking thru new posts today and notice dec 2006 are only on thread 3 LOL
ok jack is down so shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he had 2 1hr naps but has been a bit of a horror today very clingy etc, happy if I am nursing or on floor playing with him, even the cladders commented he was giving me curry today so at least Jase knows I wasn't making it up
ok gone going to have a shower i have real sore neck on the right side so sore
Not cold here we have the fire roaring so its nice a toasty!
I managed to choke down some eggs on toast and so far so good. Might even have a choccy paddlepop if I can be bothered moving my sorry butt. I think I'll go jump in bed early tonight and read my book for awhile (trashy romance novel woop woop ) snuggling with my warm wheatbag. YAY sleep in tomorrow, sunday AND monday *dances round*
Meg, we have been using a tooth brush since he got teeth. I usually just pop it in his hand when he's in the shower and off he goes brushing and chewing away. I give them a once over before he gets out. Thats about all you can do until their old enough to grasp the idea of toothbrush and toothpaste.
Maz - took a look at your webstore - way cool! Im sure it wont be long before Im purchasing something off you
Too bad I'm not into cloth cause the online store looks great.
All this teeth chat has got me thinking I should buy a brush for Ashleigh.
Ness that hair business has reminded me of times Ash has gotten it caught round her fingers. Cause they're crawling everywhere it gets caught in everything.
My little girl is 9 months! happy birthday.Thats why she had 1hrs sleep today.She wanted to party on!
Maz your store is pretty cool.Well done!
I will google the foot and mouth thing!
Big Happy Birthday to Ruby - Yay - way to go...
Nessa - sorry to hear about Annika - don't feel bad - these things happen - I checked Rylee's feet straight after I read - will be checking them all the time now - hope Annika's toes are better real quick...
Maz - way to go on your shop - good luck for Monday...
Caddie - hope Milana's rash heals quickly.
Rach - hope Jack has a better day tomorrow - it's a pain when they are like that..
Hi to everyone else
Rylee had 1/2 an hour all day - was feeling asleep having her dinner at 5.30 pm so I had to put her to bed - so who knows what time she will wake up and then want to go to sleep again and we are going out to dinner....
Anyway, happy weekend girls & bubs
Laurin
P.S - can't believe there are 55 of us - incredible!!
4 hrs staright, whooohoooo whoooohoooo. Sorry guys to be about me, but I am so excited that I managed to get a 4 hr straight sleep myself.
Caddie-I hope that Milana's rash clears up soon. It might be eczema, Bella gets a type that looks like measles, the dr said that there are heaps of different types, not just the one behind the knees etc. Bella's gets set of by different types of soaps etc and came on all of a sudden when she was about 2 1/2, however we only just got a diagnosis last month as it was always gone by the time we got to the dr. If it's not eczema I hope it turns out to be nothing serious.
Thank god for Hi-5! Ash has been really carrying on lately when I've put her in the play pen, today I remembered the Hi-5 video I was given and its kept her entertained so I've snuck onto here.
I'll be on MSN tonight too most likely. Can't wait.
Ness- Glad to hear Annika is back to normal, her foot looking okay too?
HelenP- yay on 4 hours straight, I remember getting excited too when Ash did that, bit by bit it'll get longer, Ash can go bout 6 hours between feeds now just some nights she still wakes and wants to play!
Laurin- How did dinner end up going? Hopefully after that sleep Rylee was well behaved for you.
Well we are off to another day of house hunting, I think thats all we've been doing every sat for the last few months! Got 5 to see today so you'd think we'd at least get one of them. There not for auction til end month though so still few weeks away.
