Hi Girls,

Mental Issues...... Oh yes you can put in on that too.

Jumping off lounges... Yep my boys think its great... They drag the bean bags over and jump of the arm of the lounge onto the bean bag... I am so sick of telling them not to do it.
Oh I just cleaned up all the bedrooms on Monday

Jazmum- At least you could laugh about it in the end... I think once one thing happens it all snowballs then.

Noni- Olivia likes to squeal

Art- Those drownings was really sad I read about it this morning on ninemsn.

Jordy still is getting temps although he did not get one last night however this morning he did... Everyone else is fine
Hello to all and have a great day.

[Ozstar]

Leanne I hope Jordy is back to 100% very soon.

Fianne the markets sounds great, i will have to check them out.

MD good luck cleaning H's room.

Sherie your little man is so clever. Do you find he does things quicker then your others did? Do they learn from their older sibblings?

Noni good luck at WW.

Claire Logan bruised on one leg and had a big red lump for a while after. What a shame about playgroup.

Logan and I are having another boring day at home today. I might try and get soem cleaning done while he sleeps at lunch time.

hey
lost .9 was hoping for 1.1 as thats what i put on last time lol but its better than nothing...
bought asha two new toys this morning for 20 bucks was very proud lol she got this little cow that when u move its legs or head it makes like a clicking sound and if u shake it it has a bell inside, teethable ears too its fisher price and it only cost me 8.50 and i also got her a poppity pop pop car lol dont u love the name?? its this bright red car with a clear top with little coloured balls on a moving disc when u roll the car along the disc turns around and all the balls go round iykwim?? and that was 11 bucks i have my eye on a few more expensive ones i would like to get her but we dnt have the money atm so i will have to wait lol..
katie - its pretty common for consecutive children to develop quicker due to learning off sibblings but older siblings do impede development sometimes too lol my mum didnt walk till really late and they were worried till they figured out everytime she pointed at something her older sister would go and get it for her lol so no need to go anywhere lol..
leanne - lol i can just imagine ur little boys jumping off the lounge onto the bean bags lol.. sorry jordy still isnt well
fianne - thats clever sitting from a crawling position!! Asha still cant get into a crawling position by her self lol..
sherie - yeah its still very exciting hse is babbling and i do think she said those words just maybe not intentionally iykwim? lol ur still a good mum no matter what nappy u use!!!
md - is there a weight limit on the baby bjorn or is it just that it is too heavy for u to carry?? i still put ash in the baby bjorn sometimes and she is 8.2kgs

For those looking for taggies book or blanket, I saw them at kids central.

Re all the milestones (crawling, standing, talking, waving, etc), well done Sept babies!
W has been moving backwards for quite sometime LOL, still waiting for him to figure out how to move forward
I taught him to drink from straw the other day, so funny. He hasnt mastered it though

Happy birthday Charlismum

Fianne, congrats on the Texas wedding, sounds like you had so much fun there

Hayley, how is Maddie with solid. W sometimes has days where he would just shake his head when we offered him food. With puree or mash, what I found helpful is using the take and toss spoons. They are quite cheap but he likes them better than the other expensive brands like tommy tippee etc because they're quite small.

Gracie, I found the photo. Aaawww, he looks so cute. Love the blue eyes! Yay Lewis, our little celebrity.

Cally, glad that sleeping school was a success

Pregpan, love the photos. He is so gorgeous and look at all those hair

Jazmum, hope you are feeling better. Re formula, if you just want to try they are some in small package at coles or safeway. Cant remember, I think I saw karikare and another brand the other day.

MD, I usually express in 100ml lots. If I have more than that, I'll put the EBM in ice cube containers ? easier to use for cooking. Pinky mentioned in one of her books that we can give the icy cube EBM to babies when teething. Yay on taking EBM from sippy cup, I am really jealous Well done E

Arte, just saw the news on the incident, so sad.

Noni, gl at ww

Sherie, what a smart boy! Hope the kids feel better soon. Btw, thanks

Clare, sorry no idea about Brunswick. Can you check some of the kindy over there? Over here we have our playgroup at the kindy area. Safer for the babies, everything is babyproofed.

Leanne, hope Jordy is better. How was Olivia's first day at daycare?

Katie, congrats on crawling

Can I ask what's the sign of reflux? W sometimes chucks his milk up, this happened since about two weeks ago. He never did that as a baby so I am not sure if this is because of starting solid.

Re memory loss, I read on the newspaper the other day that it's actually the other way around. Giving birth can actually increase our memory.
ETA Okay, after googling, I found a link of similar news:
Want to boost your brain power? Just have a baby | Science | The Observer
Hope this cheers you guys up

[Leemar]

Hey Girls,

Agnes- Sorry I cant help with the reflux question.
Noni- Congrats on the Weight Loss.
Gracie- Re Movicol- Jordy hates the taste so I was thinking of mixing it with Lemonade.. He is off it yesterday and today due to his temps but I have the ring the dr back at the end of the week and find out how many sachets to give him. I think its starting to work too.

[MamaPan]

hello all! Noah is having his 1st day at fdc today - just a trial before the hell of next week. so far so good, it is hard leaving him anywhere but i felt better about it than the 1st time i left him at creche so i think we have done the right thing. i have been doing errands today, will go pick him up soon as we have a friend and her 10 mnth old over for coffee at 3.30.. what a social life my little man has LOL! I am so stressed abotu how it will be wheni am back at work, DH and I both have quite full on jobs.. so how will we make it all work. already decided on using online shopping etc, just to save time but thinking of getting a mothers help or someone in a few hours a couple of times a weekt o help me with cooking, washing etc. my clener offered to do it but i think maybe someone else would be better as i am not thrilled by my cleaner's job of late!! on the positive DH will have fridays off from early may which will be wonderful for him to spend the time with N.
Gracie - how did L go at the target casting??? what a spunky family you have!
Jazmum - i have introduced 1 bottle of formula a day and it has gone ok. i put N on the follow on Karicare Gold (dr said this was ok) and he has been ok with it. he prefers bm of course (though he hates EBM for some reason) and so do i but this is a good back up for us. I had to try a few diff bottles and he has settled with the tommee tipee closer to nature.
I hear you all on the memory loss, how will i function at work??? friemd who is chinese dr recommended avocado and fish oils, to replace lost fat cells from brain. she had all these stats what each baby takes from us.. the little parasites!!!
Noni - WTG on weight loss, well done! love the sound of the toys too! i hope you hear about the house today.
Agnes - i dont have much info on reflux (think there may be a section on BB for it??) - throwing up, pain when reclilned?? i am not sure.. i hope he doesnt have it.
So happy for everyone with crawling bubs.... sorry i forget who is doing it there are too many!! N is not showing signs of that yet. still v happy with sitting and eating!!
he is babbling a lot but no sign of the MAMA!!!
he did get a temp from the vaccinations yest, we had to give him panadol in the night the poor little man. and this time there is a lot more redness at injection points and a bigger lump around each one. i am so glad no more til 12 months. does anyone have good info on MMR? i am quite nervous about it.
i justy called a domestic violence shelter here to donate all Noah's old clothes... we have so many and they are all gorgeous so it seems a good use for them to be handed on to someone who really needs them. i am sure some poor mums will be v happy to dress their little ones up in some lovely outfits - my little man is a bit of a clotheshorse so they will get some real cute outfits!
ok better go, few more things to do around the house and then i get to pick up Noah!
back later

[Artechim]

Pregpan, Grrr, why did W take fat cells from my brain instead of the ample supply on my thighs! Glad the FDC seems to be working better for you. I had to give W panadol after his shots too.

Noni, congrats on the weight loss. My cookie addiction isn't helping me any in that department. Didn't mean to be negative about Asha's talking. Some people take the mum-mum and dad-dad as first words, I am just waiting for a word with meaning rather than a sound iykwim

Sherie, WTG Alister! He is a clever little boy!

Better go, Will is pulling wipes out of the container lol

[spring_ag]

Pregpan, same here I am so nervous about going back to work. I work in the city which is quite far from my home so I need to go at 6 in the morning (DH will drop him off a bit later) so I can pick him up around 5.30. Otherwise W will be in care for 11 hours, not good at all! I think we need to share our time management tips later on LOL

Arte, LOL at the thigh fat cells

Noni, we were posting at the same time congrats on the weight loss

Hope everyone is having a nice day
