Just popping in for my cuppa and a sit down LOL Marydean.
I have been insanely busy and is isn't going to stop anytime soon - always the way. Anyway, we're all fine, the lurgy demon has been banished, but I think Erin called him back because today she said she had a headache, so I gave her some panadol and sent her to school - if she does get worse she can always go to sick bay and they can call me, but I think it was just a culmination of yesterday - which was our local Agricultural Show, so we had a full day out on rides and bad food LOL.
Alister had a great time - we put him on a few of the baby rides with the kids and he loved it. We are seriously considering getting him a slippery dip for his birthday too because I was at the park with them on Monday (Lindsay had a birthday party to go to and we were filling in time) and I was putting him on the small slide and holding him as he went down, well it wasn't long before I could put him at the top of the slide and he would push off himself - all I had to do was put him there and then go to the bottom and catch him. Before we left he was climbing up there all by himself! he is just so more advanced than what the other kids were at that age - the girls were active and could climb a bit - but nothing like what Alister does the little monkey. I said to DH the other day that he's going to be the one that will really test us out LOL.
And we've go so many develpments happening with him too - he can now say No and shake his head, he knows who owns what belongings and will take it to them, or he will take stuff to the sink (he can't reach to put it in, but he stands there till I get it and put it in for him) and he walks backwards LOL. When I was ordering party supplies for his party the other day, the site had this tiny little barn with farm animals shape sorter for $10, so I got it for him, intending for it to be for his birthday, but I caved and gave it to him and he loves it and loves putting all the animals in the hole - they all go in the same hole LOL but he loves the concept of putting them in kwim?
Even though I've seen these milestones before with the others, it still isn't any less special you know? But it is so bittersweet because every day he is more and more like a little boy and less like a baby
happy birthday renee!!!! enjoy the day with your little man
sherie- i can't believe how advanced A is, he's amazing. i told you, he's going to be a little crusty demon of dirt i reckon!
noni- do a hpt!!! hurry! today...please....
hayley- oh no, warts you poor love. i feel so worn out as well...and on top of that i also feel really fat. i weighed myself this morning. big mistake so what will happen if maddie's ears don't clear up. can you still go ? i really hope she's feeling better soon and you get some rest.
md- crack baby is all over the place. refused to go to bed last night, even though all i wanted to do was watch 'so you think you can dance' i had to go keep checking on him. then he slept through from 2.30am-9.30am. he's all over the place.
well i just had my doula come over and she seems great. i've booked her in and i'm really excited about it. she's really nice and i think she's going to be a big help.

Go Olivia! How was she when they finally came through Leanne? I hope it wasn't troubling her.
G, Glad to hear that you really like your Doula. What a bummer about L and his sleeping again I don't know what to suggest that would help that I haven't suggested already.
Sherie- OMG she was really good. Her Dermatitis is all gone too so I am thinking it had something to do with her teeth. I am just really happy she is not like X as he was the worst for getting teeth.
OMG Sherie, Leanne & Amanda thank you for remembering xoxo. This time last year I was having a stretch & sweep done for my birthday haha, glad im not this year!
Happy birthday Olivia, Logan and Leila xoxoxox Hope you all had wonderful birthdays!
Hope everyone is doing well. Ive been running around like a fruitcake for the past few weeks. Unil last week when I got FIRED! I got to work and as I got out of the car my boss came up to me and told me he doesnt need me anymore because there isnt enough work on! Grrr and after all the stressing out I had gone through to find a baby sitter for Rory. Mum quit her job and took on a night job just so she could have him! So professional, firing someone in the car park! Good thing we werent relying on my pay for the mortgage etc....Okay rant over!
Hayley - Im so sorry to hear about Maddie's ear infection. Im praying that it clears up right away. Was it the holiday to KL thats coming up soon???
Sherie- Whoaa I cant believe how smart Alister is!! What a clever cookie He must learn alot from his big brother and sisters.
noni - Are you hoping you are pg??? How has little Asha been sleeping?
Rainy - How is your pregnancy going?? Are you finding out the sex?? Have you been shopping like mad...c'mon I bet you have..fess uP!
Im so sorry I have missed out on so much guys. Im a bad bad belybelly friend
Rory is amazing. Every morning when I walk into his room I get an overwhelming feeling of joy. He is perfect in every way and we are so blessed to be his parents.He is always happy and constantly laughing. He can sing along to the backpack song on dora.. ba pa ba pa! I ask him what the lion says and he replys 'raaaaaahhhhh' He throws kisses and walks along with his push along car.
DH went for an interview yesterday for a 8/6 roster up north. I pray that he gets it, I would see him more than I do now.
LOL Marydean.
