Has MD gone to sleep school? I forgot to wish her luck! Hope all is going well MD.
Sherie, Yay for Alister!! W started walking between people but wouldn't let go of furniture for another three weeks. As soon as he clicked that he could go from thing to thing he has been unstoppable! Now he only crawls to get to something to pull himself up on. I look up and see him toddling across the room, then I look a few seconds later and he is off on another tangent. I miss the days where he sat in one spot lol It is like I have a constant 2 foot tall shadow.
Rainy..... come onnnnn, let us know!!!! That must have been terrifying with the tree. Somewhere near us got hit by lightening when I was in Brisbane, there was an almighty crack and all the power went out. I just about wet myself (if it had happened post baby I would have lol)
Pregpan, that tuna dish sounds yummy. DH won't eat canned fish but I think I will make it for lunches for W and I. I won't find risoni here though, it is spirals, elbows and if you are being very upmarket - penne lol Bummer your DH is going away over your birthday.
I used to work at the CAT lab, analysing the oil and coolant samples that they take for maintenance.
Is there a wonder week around now? Will has been doing heaps of new things the last couple of days;
*picking up two things with one hand
*kisses (more an open mouth with too many teeth pressed against my cheek, but cute)
*increased comprehension - if I say 'bathtime' he goes to the bathroom, 'daddy's home' and he goes to the door, 'where's William's book' and he finds a book
*crouching and lowering himself to the floor rather than just plonking on his bum, he is also trying to stand back up from a crouch.
and a few other things I can't think of now. He is getting so big so quickly!
I admitted to the ladies at playcenter that I got Will's birthday wrong. They had a good laugh about it.
I forgot to add my favourite series to my marathon list - Red Dwarf!!! Is it wrong to be a little bit in love with Dave Lister?
We had a really fun time yesterday with an icecream container. I put it on his head and then mine, he thought it was hilarious!
Woot Sherie!!! Alister is such a 'big boy' now!! dont you just love the way they think they are soo awesome when they do something new?!!
and IKWYM about great internet shopping...with the US$ doing so poorly i have been going crazy! loads and loads of books and DVDs from amazon!
I forgot that MD was going to sleep school so soon!! forgot to wish her victory vibes! LOL!
Arte: wow W sounds so clued in! i love the ice-cream bucket idea (you should post a photo of it...he would look so cute!).
love the ticker photo btw! man, these bubs are growing fast!
Leila is 10 months old today!!!!!!!!!!
She also stood on her own yesterday for the first time. she had a toy in each hand and wanted a closer inspection so lent off the table and voila! i dont think she realised what she had done as she was so engrossed! LOL! she is also getting the hang of furniture surfing...not so easy to accommodate as some of the chairs are not great to hold onto...and does anyone elses baby have an affinity for the heaters? we are forced to hide the heater behind the baby gate just to keep her away! so there is no way that i am using the wall one while she is awake. which makes these cold days all the more chilly.
hi everyone!!! wow all the babies really are growing up... i feel a little like my man is getting left behind - he is STILL trying to learn to crawl!!!! LOL!! oh well he will catch up soon i guess!
woo hoo to leila on 10 months!! gosh time has gone quickly.
i was reading someof our early posts the other day and my brith story etc - so emotional!
N is still sick, he now has an awful cough - it has made him vomit a few times..poor little guy. the temp seems under control now so i am hoping he will be over this soon. dh looked after him yest so i am home with him today... trying to do some work while he is asleep.
clare - what a feast you made for leila. n would be jealous if he knew!!!
umm who asked fro salmon ideas> you could prob do the pasta sauce i wrote with salmon instead of tuna (make sure you debone it well obv). salmon patties would also be great... hmm i may make some of them myself!
sherie - sounds like you have been crazy busy - and shopping up a storm. i found anew site yest ittybittyyuppy - has some adorable things. N got a few treats - to celebrate me going to work an extra day (any excuse). i see the kmart toy sale is on tonorrow (am i right) so i think iw ill pop down there too.
i think clare was asking about the trike things - i am also looking for one for n for his 1st bday so look fwd to any ideas. also what was that thing MD wrote about (sorry i have missed a lot).
better go - work to do and still havent had bfast today! i did get a shower - had to after his morning vomit - eewwww!
happy 10 months leila
what a big girl she is? can you believe how fast the time goes?
you'll have to let us know how you go with stella. i'm sure she's not aggressive, i think it's those bl&&dy schoolboys' fault. did you say she had mareema in her?
pregpan-awww poor little noah. i hope he feels better soon the poor little man.
when is md back everyone? i don't think i can tell the news till we're all here....
sherie- you'll have to let us know how the clothes are from gymberoo once you get them. ie. sizing, quality etc. how much is postage? if you highly recommend them i'm going to go sick!!
alister amazes me, i really think he is one smart cookie...and a crusty demon of dirt of course
arte- i'm go jealous you're getting kisses! i want a big pash off lewis!
will sounds like he is really coming along so well. i can't believe he goes to the bathroom like that. i'm scared lewis is going to strat thinking his real name is "lulu" (what i call him) or "chunk" (what his dad calls him.
cally and renee- thanks for your concern over the trees. it was just very windy yesterday. the noise was full on. i was shaking. a lady in a suburb near us (still on the mountain) had a massive tree cut straight through and destroy her house. i'm trying to get dp to get some blokes out in cherry pickers to do some tidying up. i love our area but it is very hazardous eg. bushfire, storms etc. cally- i think our area is very similar to the blue mountains in nsw (although i'm told ours is more beautiful
well i'm off to another spotlight shoot at 4pm. lewis is aslepp now so i'm hoping he sleeps till 3pm so he's all fresh. this time it's for the front cover of the catalogue so i'll let you all know the details later.
jaz- you are on head catlogue watch again!
Arrghhhhh! i NEED to know Rain!!! the suspense is killing me!! OMG! how long does sleep school go for....???
Wow! congrats for the front cover! that is awesome what a gorgeous man! (we knew it all along).
I have to warn you that the 'kisses' are pretty gross! they are awesome but you generally need a towel to mop up!! LOL! leila just lunges in and slobbers with a big open mouth...she thinks it's hilarious!
Pregpan: oh I dont think i have seen your birth story...IKWYM tho, when i read leila's i go all gushy LOL!
As for the pushbar trikes i have found two that seem pretty cool. one is at target (cant remember the name), it has a little umbrella and can be used from 8 months to 3 years (it converts to a normal trike) and the other is the EuroTrike which supposedly has won design awards etc etc. it is for bubs 12 months+. both look cool, although with the latter they are gendered and i dont really like the girly one and the boy one is very boy (IYKWIM). probably still get the boy one though...
Rainy, yay for the front cover, Lewis is a star! I am paranoid about W not learning his name - my niece thought her name was 'you' because everything was phrased 'do you want...' etc so I make sure I use his name instead eg 'does William want...'
Clare, W has my nieces ride on toy, it is pink and purple and DH isn't very impressed LOL It is scary that our bubs are reaching 10 months, they are such big bubs now. It doesn't seem like that long ago that W was just a tiny poo machine!
Pregpan, hope N gets better soon. He seem to be having a really rough ride lately.
Sleep school is 4 nights - but when did she go in?
The eurotrikes look great, the ones they have at Target are called smart trike or smoby (not clear in the catalogue - maybe the boy one is smoby or maybe they just have two different brands). The girl comes in pink and red. Page 12 of the Target catalogue (on the website)
Trillian - wow steps!! What a clever little man. I am thinking of getting a walker from the toy library this week.
We had a quick trip into town this morning - KMart had so many toys out, ready for the big sale tomorrow.
Just pulled up the gymboree website - so much stuff!!
Clare - can you put a playpen around the heater? Or move the coffee table in front and block the sides off with boxes so you can have heat?
Arte - I think I am getting kisses too, but they are big and slobbery and they tend to involve teeth around my nose.
yeah i get the kisses too - soooo slobbery but gorgeous to get...
i like the eurotrike this is the one we have seen around a lot and thought of getting - so i will look at others but for now this is on the list!! clare - i think most ppl must get the boy one, as this is the only one i have ever seen out and about and ALL those bubs cant be boys!
thanks for the wishes re N - he is still unwell poor little guy and you are right he has had a rough trot lately - i have been feeling v guilty about that wondering if it is something i am doing wrong...
rainy - wooo hooo on the cover! just found out a friend of mine's little girl is in the kmart catalogue this month too...all these gorgeous bubbas!
Pregpan, I don't think you are doing anything wrong re N's sick run. I think that if they catch one nasty bug then while they are recovering they get hit with another because their immunity is lower
what a gorgeous man! (we knew it all along).
