hi everyone
sory i have been terible at keeping up - a combination of things really - comp not working well, been away at the coast twice, boys been sick and generally life a little out of control! But eveything is fine here with us!
I have had a quick skim - sorry if i have missed anything crucial...will ty to do some personals buy expecting M J up any min so may get cut short
Noni - wtg on the job front, when will you start? i dont think you need to worry about W - he sounds perfect and i guess he just caught up weight wise faster... i think they cant realy predict these things so accurately, and then we get hung up on what the dr/nurse says iykwim. sounds like you are doing a great job on the TT front also - wtg Asha!
Clare - woooooooo hooooooo on the house which sounds divine. is miss L loving her new room?
Rainy - sounds like your life is a little like mine atm. hope L is ok.
Ange - hugs re your bro.
Kate - wtg on the ttc and good luck! exciting!!
Trill - OMG re the scooter! he is A WILD CHILD!
Arte - wow on A sitting and rolling - my J is way off that still! i guess he wont top the class on the physical front! I dont know who asked re alphabet etc - N is quite amazing he knows the whole ABC, all colours, numbers etc - I am constantly amazed on that front. he is now into the concepts of 'imagining' (he shuts his eyes and tells us what he imagined) and 'remembering' he will say something that happened and then say 'I remember'. he is coming along leaps and bounds. we have a physio follow up tomorrow - i think they will be happy - he has improved so much on that front too - nowhere near doing what lots of yours do yet but way way better than he was. he seems to enjoy physicality more now too if that makes sense.
MD - hope you avoided the gastro. I wouldnt worry about her having a bet - the liking of that name though...
MM - hope the op goes well (sorry missed when it is). I bet you see a huge improvement after that is done. N hasnt been too sick this yr with kindy - am thankful for that!
oh gotta gp J is up - will try to come back later. love to you all and sorry such a bad buddy!
So they aren't sick now PP? I'm sure the physio appointment tomorrow will go fine - I bet he wont even have to go back for another one.
Cally, Alister is growing just like Paige did and is such a skinny thing - some of his shorts I have brought for this summer are still only 0's because unless it has an elasticised waist they aren't any good and even then 1's are still plenty big enough so K isn't the lone ranger on that front LOL. But I don't mind because they look like proper shorts where the 2's look too long kwim? Paige was still wearing one skirt that was a size 0 skirt up till last summer but she's put on 5kg so far this year and has jumped to a size 5 from a sz 3 last summer. But because he is soooo tall I need 2's and 3's for shirts and T's so buying a set of anything is hopeless - even pyjama's have to be separates. So I imagine he'll be a bean pole for a few more years and then just start gaining weight.
OK, so I started a blog and uploaded the video of A on the scooter. It was a few weeks now and he's much faster than that now LOL. The quality is a bit dodgy because it was taken on my phone.
Trill - will have to check out the vid when I get home. I saw some gorgeous tracky sets when I was last shopping in Canberra, but didn't really see the point of having to buy two sets to get one lot of matching out of it!!
MP - glad to hear from you. Sure the physio appt will go well.
Hi again
On my I touch so this will have to be quick
Cally you must think I am so rude I sent you a text before I left on fri and them was staying in sth durras with no reception so never wrote back to you.
Am really sorry I meant to say a meet up wouldn't have been good ok sat as the other little one we had with us was just recovering from gastro. You will be glad you stayed away as I am feeling sick and so is dh! Will be back down many times over summer so the play date will hapen
Physio went well today big improveme so no splints yet we will see how he goes over summer and go back end feb. Took j to be weighed etc too his head is growing and he is 6.8 kg, so not as big as Noah was at 4 months but a big boy! He is 4 months today!
I Am feeling lots better now I am losing some weight - 3 kg so far!
Trill - awesome scootering! Missy E has a try but she really just shuffles along LOL. DD1 was pretty scootie proficient at a young age which is wonder because she's totally clumsy at everything else! Excellent blog BTW I have learnt how to sew a bit of wide elastic in at the back of the waist band to pull the pants in around the waist (constantly needed to do it for DD1 but she's finally getting hips now).
MP - sorry to hear it's doing the rounds of the family, glad the boys are better. yay that's great news from the physio, hope it just gets better from there.
Cally, the oshkosh baby things are really wide around the bottoms - I think they're to accommodate wads of cloth nappies?
Still feeling bad about being such a potty mouth mummy. I must have had such a pure clean livestyle with DD#1, don't remember any swearing incidents. I'm just hoping like crazy she doesn't think fit to repeat it at the FDC lady's house...the 4 yos are all getting into saying poo and bum (like they do at that age) so the last thing we need is my 2 yo dropping a corker.
Oh MD! it would be slightly funny if she did but they can drop them in the most inappropriate of places LOL. I might have to do that with some of his shorts. I was tempted to just make him some shorts now I have the sewing machine. I find the sprout PJs are the best as I can tighten the elastic if I need to but for a sz 2 they are actually a good fit.
PP that's a great weight loss so far. I find if you lose it slower you are more likely to keep it off. Great to hear that N has had improvement. I cna't believe J is that old already!
Trill, don't say that word (*blocks ears, and whispers* Sprout). I'm totally devastated they stop at size 2.
ETA - Arte have you planted your seeds yet? Or did you plant them a month ago to give yourself a head start ???
MP - meant to say congrats on the 3 kgs tho at first I was confused and thought it was gastro commentary? I am having *no luck* after a week or so of eating right and heaps more exercise than usual I gained a kilo so promptly had a huge tantrum and ate the rest of the tub of icecream. I"m sure that's not in the anticancer diet either...*sigh*
