Howdy girls,

Noni I have that colour ergo too, I love it. I have tried the front and hip position and will get DH to try the back position first.

Hayley I know exactly what you mean about wanting to just kick back at home. Enjoy your freedom tonight while it lasts.

Clare did your DH come with some type of manual? Or is there some secret school like puppy kindy you can take them too? Lol

Arte it sounds like you had a nice day, it feels good to have a little "me" time doesn't it.

Lil Rachee welcome to our chatty little group and congrats on your DD.

MD have a good weekend with your friends, sounds like loads of fun.

Dh has been out at the races since 7.30 this morning. Logan and I have had such a fun day today, we have just spent most of the day on the floor playing, meanwhile it looks like a bomb went off at my place. No plans for the long weekend DH has next week off so I am trying to think of some fun family things we can do.

Hi to everyone else hope your all having a great weekend.

Wow its been very quiet in here.

Chepie of course you can join us, the more the merrier. I am pretty sure we were belly buddies. How are things with your DS?

I got soooo much cleaning done today I have now gone through the whole house and chucked out and donated so much stuff. I am feeling very happy about it, the only bummer is my back is killing me. Just need to do the floors tomorrow and I will be one happy mumma.

Anyway I hope you all had a great weekend.

Welcome Lil Rachee and Chepie.

So glad it is a long weekend, these two days have absolutely flown. DD has been moved into her 'big seat' in the car and we lowered her cot base.

Had a great time with my sister, went out for brunch this morning and wandered one of the little villages near here yesterday. DH did very well doing the shopping with DD, some ladies helped him unpack the trolley because he had her in the Bjorn and was having trouble bending over!

Ozstar - lucky you having DH home all next week. Hope you have a good time.

Hayley - I thought her teeth were fine - then on Friday night she stirred every 45 minutes and had a whinge (didn't have to go in though). So then I was thinking they were bothering her. Then last night, not a peep out of her for 12.5 hours! So I don't know, still very sure there is one coming down though. Glad that the cheese went well.

Arte - would love to go horse riding, very jealous!

Gotta go, ice cream time!

[chepie]

Thanks for the warm welcome

Ozstar - Yes I think that we were belly buddies!! Aiden is great! He crawled on Wed! So there is no stopping him now!! he has 7 teeth and a yucky cold! ... Good on you for all the cleaning thats what we are trying to do!! Hope that your back is ok

Cally - Thats sweet about the ladies helping your DH grrrrrrrrr to teeth! Hope that tooth appears quickly


*noni*e* - Isn't great watching them pull themselves up and being very proud of the fact until that dreaded fall ....... I think so begins the many falls and bruises

Hi Chepie - so glad you decided to pop in and say hello! And a big welcome to lil Rachee too! I hope you have found something helpful to you in amongst all our ramblings LOL.

yes, DH did get the bug on Friday night and he was violently ill with it too poor bugger. I have never known him to be so sick. At least I didn't have to clean up after him though LOL. He's fine now though and went to work tonight as normal. And Alister has a runny bum, but only once yesterday and once today, both at the times when he normally poos anyway and it isn't bothering him at all.

Interesting development too on the sleeping front here. He is still sleeping great - still being wrapped, but the big contributor I think has been not having dinner. I didn't give him dinner on Wednesday night because I was still too sick to bother with it, and that was the first night he slept. Thursday I brought the latest PP mag and there was an article about a baby sleep diet - so I read it and it was basically about babies eating high GI foods and it's effect on them, so what I've figured out is that his dinner meal is too high GI and is possibly contributing to his rotten night sleeping. He has rice cereal mixed with either fruit or veg, and sometimes fruit puree for dessert - both the rice cereal and the fruit purees are high GI - as is potato. So we haven't been having dinner since Wednesday and his sleep is fantastic. Tomorrow I will introduce a low GI dinner meal and see how we go with that.

I think Alister is definately going to be my thrill seeker baby. I had him in the FP swing today while hanging washing and I left him in it while I went back in to get another load (you would seriously not believe the amount of washing I have been doing). I stopped to ask DH something and he says "check this out" and he is looking out the kitchen window and Paige who is also outside is at the swing, but she is turing it around, winding it up really tight, and Alister is happy as larry just sitting there, and she keeps winding and winding until she can't wind it any further, and we are watching with anticipation because we know what is about to happen - DH is ****ing himself laughing, I'm trying to swallow the fear - and then she lets it go and it starts spinning and spinning and getting faster and the whole time Alister is just sitting there with this huge smile on his face and laughing. DH is nearly beside himself he is laughing that hard. And when it stops, Paige, who was laughing maniacally at her grand idea, just leaves him and comes inside like nothing has happened (she didn't know we were watching) and he is just left sitting there wondering where she's gone LMAO. If that was done to the others when they were the same age they would have been screaming the whole time. I tell ya, this kid is going to grow up tough.

He is also getting really good at standing on his own now too and walking with one hand held. He had a ball this afternoon as the girls and I were having a big clean out of their bedroom and he kept getting all the barbie stuff and trying to eat it LOL.

Hi Girls!

Yessiree it has been quiet in here these days! is the cold keeping us at bay?! he he he!

Hayley: LOL at your DH! it is soo embarrassing when you catch yourself doing something like that!
ahh bummer for no SATC! we went this evening while i left DH with DD. it was quite fun. just a long version of the show.

Hi Chepie and welcome! it's always awesome to have new people to rant and rave with!

Sherie: i also read that article and have been trying to keep the GI down for dinner. only, leila LOVES potato and on the nights that she is being a fusspot it's all i can get her to eat...egad. the joys.
So is the household returning to good health?!! and poor you on all the washing!

Noni: hmm no havent found it terribly hot. although that said, in peak summer i tend to avoid it. i go for the pram or the sling...
and yeah, leila is also pulling herself up onto everything. and falling down again! she has a cracker of a bruise on her forehead ATM...looking like a bad mum when we go out in public

alls quiet here on the homefront. i am thankful! leila has been unwell the past few nights and has been intermittently waking up. she has been going back to sleep on her own for the most part, but at least once a night i have had to go in there and resettle her. man, it takes it out of you!
feeling a bit lonely tonight, as DH is away at a conference dinner...so am feeling sorry for myself...wish i was having a $75 a head dinner. instead, i had a healthy microwave reheat of last nights dinner...boo hoo for me!

anyway should go and get my sorry self to bed, my feet are freezing out here in the cold!
