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

Oh Po5, you'll be busy!!! Good thing Milly isn't moving then hey!

ZF, yep I've starting planning already. Got the guest list sorted, just have to decide on the time and make the invitations. I'm going to make the fairy toadstool cake that is on the cover of the Womens Weekly kids birthday cakes book.

Lenny, I always feel like I'm telling DS to stop hurting DD! He tries to pick her up and move her around. When they play in his room, I walk in to find he has pulled her up onto his bed!! And they are bouncing around giggling...cheeky!

Hi all been a while!!!

The baby girls in our group sound like they are all flying along!!!!!!!!!!!

DS2 is not doing anything LOL well tell a lie he sits unassisted and somehow wiggles in circles or across to where he wants to go LOL never actually seen him get to far when I am in room but often I come back into room and he has moved a good metre!!

I also feel I am always telling DS1 all the time to be gentle and not hurt his brother and DS2 generally is LOL at him and loving it (until he pushes him over and he hits head on floor ouch).

How is everyone going?
Not long until X-Mas and in turn not long until all our LO's turn ONE

Feeb - cheeky little things aren't they, it's like they practice while were not around

Eluned - hun your so organised, i should make a list, were waiting to get through x-mas but i really WANT to start organising things, thinking about having it at the old house so we can use the pool if it's hot.

how is everyone else?

Miss Z is walking behind the pusher now, doing laps of the lounge, it's so cute.. Ava got so excited when she took more than 2 steps and now she's trying to get her walking without the pusher.. so funny.

I also feel I am always telling DS1 all the time to be gentle and not hurt his brother and DS2 generally is LOL at him and loving it (until he pushes him over and he hits head on floor ouch).

I am so frustrated with this too. Do you think it's because they are both boys? I don't know. DS1 can be so sweet and gentle to other little children.

DS2 is so fast with crawling and walking behind the pusher. But he's still a terrible sleeper, so I hoping a miracle will happen when he turns one and he'll suddenly sleep through! LOL I can dream can't I

What are you getting your little ones for christmas? We have NO ideas. He just plays with DS1's trains and trucks, reads DS1's books, and outside with balls and the swing. He doesn't need or want 1 year old toys IYKWIM? I feel a bit bad. Still, he'll probably just have fun with all the wrapping paper!

I also feel I am always telling DS1 all the time to be gentle and not hurt his brother and DS2 generally is LOL at him and loving it (until he pushes him over and he hits head on floor ouch).

DD is exactly the same! She also has to jump in his cot to "check on him"

Sounds like everyones babes are doing really well!

DS is still speed crawling and walking around things, hes getting a little more confident and will try and walk over to things but just falls down lol

Does anyone bub still wake up a fair bit during the night?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Lenny - the girls are getting a swing set for x-mas, it's got the baby seat on it for Z and the slide and mini trampoline.
And i can't remember what else i got on lay-by, i got all her b'day stuff on the x-mas lay-by too.. my girls don't get a lot - maybe 4 presents and thats it from us.. Z is getting the fisher price bouncing zebra for her b'day (something agae appropriate her sister didn't have).

How bout everyone else?

[Party-of-five]

Minny- DD2 still wakes 2 to 3 times a night

DD1 is very rough with Milly she always walks past and gives her a quick sneaky bop on the head or take toys off her...DD2 gets her own back but always grabbing a handful of DD1 hair when she gets a chance, I think we are going to be in for fun times ahead

we have got DD2 a trike thingy, the ones where you push them and she is getting her own dolly as she gets in trouble for stealing DD1s

Milly is still just sitting but she finally got her top two teeth...thats 4 she has now

[Lenny]

Phew - i'm actually relieved to hear that some of the bigger kids are a bit cheeky and rough with the little ones. I thought it was just mine!

minny, DS2 is awake at least twice at night. He sleeps from about 7.30 until 6 (when the house gets noisey) and he wakes usually once at about midnight and once again a few hours later. Not too bad I reckon, but a big change for me seeing as DS1 slept through from 6 months old. Ahhh, bliss

ZF - swings, that's a fab idea. We only have one fisher price type one, so I think a double swing is the go. Maybe they can have a new pool too. Their one is a bit little for two.

[Bun]

PO5 - they sound just like my two! DD can be quite nice and gentle with DS but other times she is horrid and will hit him, sometimes on her way walking past him and for no reason at all! But DS also gets his own back by grabbing her hair - he has had her pinned down several times and all she can do is call to me for help! I must be a mean Mummy - I think it's funny!

DS is doing great, he still only has two teeth but he is into EVERYTHING!!! He crawls soooo fast now and climbs on everything - I can hardly keep up with him! He still wakes at least once a night and sometimes up to four times grrrr. It seems I was not blessed with good sleepers as DD was the same. Other than that he is going great though. He loves his food and has a lovely little nature - very smiley and happy all the time, although he has hit bad separation anxiety and won't go to anyone other than DH and I.

I can hardly believe our little ones are nearly one!

Morning Ladies (Just!)

Just quickly popping in... I have been lurking ^^; Seems everyone is going great! Can't beleive all our little babies are going to be 1 soon *sniff sniff*

We're all going good! Jack is into everything as they all seem to be, and is starting to find his feet. I'm excited and nervous all at once! DH seems to think he'll be walking by christmas but I'm not sure... He's a litte unsure when it comes to taking steps still... but we will see in good time I guess!

We are starting to get somewhere with sleep. Once 8 o'clock hits we have been going into his room, in the dark and quiet with no distractions and we both stay in there til he goes to sleep. Whether it be by booby or cuddles, I don't care ><; He is usually out by 8.30 but I'm aiming for have him go to sleep at 8. Mind you 8.30 is a damn site better than his 10 oclock bedtime he was making for himself! When we get him off to sleep this way, he usually only wakes up once at night for a max of 20 minutes and will sleep thru til 8-8.30 in the morning. I like it, it works for me, as it would XD

Well I best be off, I'm at work Not much work is happening

[Lenny]

[illeyena]

what is everyone planning for first birthday celebrations? we are just planning a gathering at the lake/park and have everyone bring a picnic lunch and let any kids run wild in the park while the grown ups help celebrate the fact that we survived the first year hahaha looking forward to it.

we had a very rough last half of 2010 so are happy to move in to 2011 and all the good things that will come from here. Happy New Year ladies!

Happy birthday to your DD Eluned

We are just having a little family party for Milly the day before her birthday...have no ideas at all what to get her its so hard having them so close to christmas and also with being so close to DD1 it feels like we have everything already.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the gorgeous LO's for the next 2 weeks... can't believe they are turning 1 already.
No plans here and i hate it, we did a massive birthday party for DD1 and she had a decent 2nd birthday and i am really annoyed that we can't do something for Z at the moment.
We will prob do lunch with DP's nan, mum & sister at his nans the day of her birthday but otherwise no plans, my brother and dad might come visit...

She's getting the jumping zebra thing, dr zeuss set of books and i might try and find something small to wrap for her aswell, maybe a cd for her room or a dvd as DD1 has LOTS of toys etc and they just spent some x-mas money on clothes.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their first yr with the LO's.. i've loved every minute... (well mostly )

[Lenny]

Happy birthday to ZF's little miss for today, and to Minny's DS for yesterday.
