can't give too much away yet girls......have to keep you all hanging a little longer trust me, you will all find out soon enough....
noni- sorry to hear your dp is such a pita!! it's very very hard when they won't do anything to help and just create mess. i've been having similar problems with my dp too. could you put asha's cot in your room so she could sleep in that but not in your bed so you could get some more sleep?
md- big hugs big big hugs
ange- i'm so glad they're not killing the deer. that would completely freak me out! what kind of cake are you going to make?
hayley- sounds like you've been having a really rouggh trot lately. glad things are on the up though. maddie is coming along so well! what a gorgeous girl sitting and having dinner with all the relos. they would've loved it!
hi fianne- great to see you back. max sounds like she's going so well
clare- how is everything with stella? has she seen that guy yet? i'm sure it was just a one off thing. maybe it might be worth taking her to the vet as she may be in some sort of pain...our girl had a really bad ear infection and i had no idea. took her to the vet for her vacs and found out poor bubs was in serious ear pain!
gotta go, Lewis is screaming the house down
bbl xoxo
OMG it is windy today - won't be going for a walk otherwise she'd be blown away. Arte, you'd have to put an arm out the window and grab K as she flew past! I've double pegged everything on the line but wouldn't be surprised if something goes missing. At least it will dry quickly.
5:20 wake again this morning but at least she went back to sleep for 1.25 hours after I fed her. Usually it's 10 minutes if I'm lucky.
Ange - mmm, cake. The muffins I made were finished in less than 24 hours (and they weren't even that good)
I was feeding K yesterday and just had the feeling to look over my shoulder into the backyard. There were 2 10 year olds out there! Didn't look at all familiar and they left the moment they saw they were spotted. I went and stood in the lounge out the front to see where they went but they disappeared around the corner. DH went and put the padlock back on the shed when he came home. And K wasn't at all interested in finishing off the feed which was a pain.
Rainforest - I'm going with Arte's engagement suggestion.
Clare - I'm intersted in the push trikes too, want to get one for her birthday.
MM - glad you are feeling better.
Welcome back Fianne. Glad that Max is doing well.
We have the Baby Play book. Most of what is in there is fairly obvious and you are probably doing (ie talking about different things, singing songs). Some of the things they have are
- filling bottles with beans or grains so they roll across the floor and they can chase them
- kick a ball with them (you hold and swing her so her legs connect)
- using riding toys
- explore stuff (textures, sounds etc around the house)
- let them chase a torch beam around the floor
- empty and fill containers
- stacking rings
- feely books
We've also got the toddler play book
hi everyone
sorry have been MIA - we went to syd for the weekend which was good until my poor little man got sick (again - MM he is bfed and i feel guilty and wonder if iam doing something as he is always getting sick - the rational side of me tells me this is just the 1st yr and they willpick up lots of bugs). he had v high temps for a few days, we ended up taking him to hosp on sun night (again) and when we got there he had a rashy thingon his hands and feet - i freaked out but it went quickly and they said just bc of temp. anyway long story short we styed in there til 3am - had to 'catch' a urine sample - not easy!! and they said just a virus he is fighting. he has hardly slept in the whole time - though he did last night alot better. today he has a really bad cough and runny nose so i guess thats what he was 'fighting'... DH ishome with him today so i can work as i have heaps to do - i took yest and i guess i willprob taketomorrow as well as he cant really goto fdc like this. poorlittle guy. i worry why he is getting sick somuch. i also wonder if dh and i panic too much about it all.
Rainforest - love the new name!!
Noni - i would be p'd off at dp too - no advice sorry!! but maybe sit down with him when you are all calmand discuss how much you do. also could someone watch asha for you for a night (maybe your mum) and the 2 of you could go out together - it sounds to me like you need some time alone.
MM glad you are a bit better - clever maddie! N is alsonot crawling - he kinda 'swims' on the ground LOL!! i reckon we are amonth off too. i am not really worried about it. he hasnt showed signs yet of tring to pull himself up, but he does love to be in standing pos to play etc.
Cally - it isv windyhere today as well. wow the double pegging!!! i dont think i have put the washingoutside in over a month! the clothes horse is a permanent fixture in our spare room!

Just wanted to pop in and let you know im still hanging around. Ive been so busy lately, with work etc. Rory has got a awful cold and last night he hardly slept. I feel like a zombie haha. Gotta run to the shops to buy my mum a last minute birthday prezzie since I FORGOT her birthday eeeeep!
Oh and the girls from mothers group re-arranged their playgroup day to Thursday so i can still come YAY! It took alot of stuffing around but im soooo happy
Sorry for the selfish post. Hope everyone is well. Il bbl for personals.
talking about windy!
we've just had a tree fall down on the roof of our 2 garages. has gone through the roof of one.
made the most almighty noise. scared the sh$t out of me. i ran into the bedroom and grabbed lewis out of bed cos i was so frightened.
all is ok now, dp came home from work and is sorting it out now...
OM*G Rainforest! It sure is windy here too. Was there anything in the garage that is no longer? Are there any other trees that could fall on the house? I would have had to change Lu's nappy and MY undies after that! Glad all is ok with you and the little man.
Not long ago your user name was Blair, now it's back to Rainforest?!
gosh Rainy how scary! hope u dont mind me calling you rainy!!!
meant to tell you all - Noah's latest fave food is pasta (risoni) with cheese, tomato and tuna sauce... v easy and he wolfs it down. i found he slept really well after eating it too...
i make the basic cheese sauce which i posted a while back (for the fish dish), stir in some passata or pureed tomato and then a tin of sirena tuna in spring water (flaked). easy. you can make up a huge batch of the sauce and freeze it. i give it to him with lots of sauce and he eats HEAPS of it. yummy for adults too!! other things he has been trying - veal and mushroom ragu (he also loved this), baked zucchini and tomato risotto - both of thesewere our dinner mashed for him...
trust me, you will all find out soon enough....
big big hugs
