Babies born~January 1st-15th 2010 #2

We're a quiet bunch aren't we!!

18months - eek. Time flies. A is still a very senstive soul and loves a good cry. He was hit badly with a cold (but no ear infection YAY!) and couldn't bf which was weird. i felt a bit useless because i couldn't make him feel better. He was awake a lot at night, but he's coming right now. Phew!

He is allowed his little push trike in the house because the weather outside is yuck. He's awesome on it - the two boys race up and down the hall like crazies. The door at one end is ruined from them crashing into it, but at least it helps my sanity a bit.

I am amazed at his speech. Just because DS1 didn't talk at all, so hearing words from an 18 mth old seems so cool to me. He's just saying one word at a time although he does have a two word 'sentence' - he points to DH's beer can and says 'daddy bottle' LOL. His favourite word is NAH.

He eats like there's a famine coming and he's happy to eat most things except mashed potato and weetbix - actually, anything mushy. I guess that's the difference with DS1 being spoonfed as a bub and doing BLS with DS2.

He still wakes up at about 5.45 and then has a morning nap and an afternoon nap. Yay for me!

So, how's everyone else...??

Hmmm let me see.

Been tandem feeding for 18 months thats the most exciting thing!!

DS2 says "mum, bye bye, dada"
He still prefers to bum shuffle but has been walking for 2 weeks but doesnt do it all the time.

He attacks DS1 a lot and annoys him buy grabbing at his clothes and stealing toys!!!

He still will not sleep in cot at all! Co sleeps everynight (will fall asleep feeding and I can sometimes slide him onto couch and will then wake around 2330 or 2400 when I will then take him to bed, Day sleeps only happen in car,in pram or on my knee post feed!!!)

Usual stuff happening here. DD is so cuddly and cute but is driving me insane by climbing on everything. I spend every 5 minutes removing her from the kitchen table, top of the couch, tv unit...anything...I suppose I could just lock away all my furniture but meh! LOL...We are still feeding and she has only really just stopped her middle of the night feed, so we're at about 3 a day. She's so cheeky and when she wants it she will grab my hand, lead me over to my rocking chair, pat the seat and say "doo-dor" which is her word for boobie. DS is almost toilet trained (never thought I would see the day). Both of them have colds AGAIN at the moment. Can't wait for Winter to be over. Been feeling really meh alot lately, unmotivated, just getting through each day trying not to be grumpy :/ Trying times.

Ladies it's been too long :)
How is everyone going, how are all the LO's?

Were good here, Z is talking HEAPS - 5-6 word sentences, counting to 10.
She really loves the motorbikes and yells "more donuts" when we go into the paddock.
Not much to report really, she has most of her teeth but i have a feeling 2yr old molars are moving around, we have tantrum central at the moment too.
She loves the library, books and just being with us and is still BFing.

So yeah... whats news?

Hi ladies, can you believe our LO's are 2 or turning 2?
How is everyone going?

Am on my phone but will come back and update soon ;)

Hope your all well!

Ok so who is still around, how are all the LO's going?

Miss Z is 2 on Friday and we can't wait, she's getting a little clothesline and maybe a fishing rod from us (weird for a 2yr old right) and some DVD's from Miss A (she picked them herself).
I couldn't find a kids clothesline ANYWHERE and the toy shop had sold out so i went to Aussie Disposals and bought a camp clothesline that adjusts in height, she's going to love it.

DP wants me to look into maybe putting her in daycare on the mornings that DD1 goes to kinder but i'm not sure, i wouldn't mind actually just having some mummy and Z time, we never really get that as DD1 has always been around IYKWIM.

What is your little 2yo eating, DD will eat all day long, have a huge breakfast plenty of fruit etc ut is becoming a gigantic PITA to feed at dinner time, she copies her sister and if DD1 cracks it and wont eat then DD2 just does the same :wall:

We have her MCHN appt next week which i am looking forward too, she's sooooo active i don't think she will have put on much weight but it will be interesting to see.
She's doing so well with her speach and vocab that she amazes me, she will come out with massive sentences, sing songs and can count to 12 on her own, she's trying to copy DD1 with writing but it's not going as well as she seems to think it is.
She has a lot of nappy off time and has used the potty a couple of times so we are lookinh at TTing now the weather is warmer and seeing how she goes.

Would love to hear how everyone else is.

Hay there!!

DS2 Birthday is in 8 days!!! He snacks and eats well then but at meal times its hit and miss dinner being the worst.
Doesn't eat vegies unless hidden in spag bol or slow cooker meals. Vegimite sandwiches and strawberries and cheese are his favs!
Speech he says a bit, more than DS1 did at his age but n where near what your Z is saying.

He is interested in the toilet and takes nappy off and says wee after he has wee'd, but will not sit on toilet and do anything (DS1 still not TT, grrr)

We have MCHN appts for both boys in just over 2 weeks time.

Oh feeb he sounds like DD at meal times, i'm lucky that if she's interested in dinner she will actually straight up eat veggies off the plate (sometimes the first thing to go) but lately it's actually getting her to eat a substantial amount of anything at dinner time that is hard... :wall:
Oh and congrats on the tandem feeding, still going strong hun?
We stopped a while back now, i was upset about it but it's worked well for us now.

It's all so exciting isn't it, i can't believe they are nearly 2.. it's gone so so quickly.

Is anyone else PG, TTC etc.. i know we have some siblings around but anyone else trying to hiding a bundle? No more for us here.

Thanks Yep still feeding both, DS1 has reduced feeding a fair bit but still some, DS2 is crazy booby obsessed and still feeding overnight and will only co sleep, most nights will sleep in cot for 1 - 4 hrs! Still has never slept thru the night!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting a bit over BF overnight and not getting a proper sleep!

I wish I was preg if I had my way I would have had a 3rd by now! But alas DH does not want anymore, all due to money side of things grr :-(

DD had her birthday on New Years Day :) We got her a trike and a little people animal zoo set. Made her a ladybug cake which she was very proud about kept telling everyone at her party "Mummy made ladybug cake for me!" She has great vocab too but is a quiet little thing unless she's at home. She can certainly keep up with her big brother and they love playing together (although, there are some fights as you'd expect). Likes lots of variety of foods but not a massive eater. Just likes to graze which drives me nuts at meal times because she keeps getting up leaving the table and coming back. She's a little miss independent likes to do everything herself!

I'm 20 weeks with number 3. DD gave up the feeding when I was about 12 weeks. We got to 22 months not too bad but I'm kinda glad to have a little break now.

Aww Laranna she sounds so cute, it's funny what they get excited about.

So glad Z is not the only one being odd with meals.

Anyone else got a biter, I think it's teething but she keeps nipping DD1 when she's angry.

:birthday2: HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY PRINCESS Z :birthday2:

Got the lounge setup with her pressies, she's cuddling me until DD1 wakes up ;)

Happy 2nd birthday Princess Z!!
I hope she has a fantastic day ZF :D

Happy belated birthday to your DD Larana! She sounds so cute and what a great little talker :)

Feeb well done on still feeding both, that is an awesome effort!

time goes way to quick I can't believe our babies are turning two.
I was in hospital this time two years ago getting Master M stitched trying to keep him tucked up safe? 8 days until his birthday :)
December and jan is a busy month for us, dd3 turned 3 in Dec, dd2 turned 4 on the 2nd Jan and ds4 turns 2 on the 14th...plus Christmas and new years...I am exhausted :lol:

Master M is doing well, he is finally just over 9kg YAY!! He is a little chatter but still mainly jibberish. He gets up to all sorts of mischief, his sisters egging him on doesn't help ;)
He is a fussy eater and because he cannot handle any or very little fat in his diet he is a little restricted. Trying to hide veggies in things to get him to eat them. He is the fussiest of all seven, all of the others love their fruit and veggies.
As of his second birthday they do not corrected his birthday, I like him much better on the weight charts corrected...even if he is still not on it :lol:
He has come so far from the 900g scrap he was :D

She had a great day, we cleaned for tomorrow then took her out for tea.
Got about 50ppl coming tomorrow and I'm buggered, having a shower then hitting the hay.

Got a photo of her at exactly 11:08pm ;) ahh love our princess!
