Ahhhh my IL's are doing my head in. Every morning there is about 10 half drunk cups of tea and coffee all over the place, if you don't finish one why make another one! Probably the real reason am annoyed today is because I had said would go to Philip Island for day, they decided against it because have a big day tomorrow and would be a late night, that is totally fine but I kept my calendar free to do something with them because always guilt tripping us about us living on other side of world and them being here to spend time with us (DD in particular) and they have gone to St Kilda for day (no asking if we wanted to come or do anything together) is not even hot today and St Kilda isn't even a great beach! They are beach obsessed I just don't get it, and there thoughts on sun protection drive me mad too. Roll on next week!
Oh Dear - How much longer? Beginning of next week or end? Sympathies to you Vic - you know what they say ..... "House guests are like fish, they start to smell after 3 days" hahahahaha Also, Adam and Eve were the happiest, and the luckiest, couple in the world, because neither of them had In-laws. Yep, I always remember the lamest jokes, but hopefully they put a smile on your face! hahahahahaha. Just be thankful they live the otherside of the world most of the time (although fortunately for me I dont have to stay with mine, nor do they come and stay LOL)
Oh Vic, I feel for you. I hope time passes quickly. Half empty cups of tea...what is with that??? I don't understand people that do that. The only time I have ever left a cuppa half empty/undrunk was when I had to attend to Cara or something..and it's rare that I do that! But then I only have about 2 cups a day..morning coffee and arvo tea.
Hehe I remember years ago being pregnant with Yassie and serving up some spag bog to my stepson and spilling half of it all over the floor! LOL It just slipped off the plate so easy!
Actually managed to vacum without Laura and Cara crying! I asked Laura last night if she wanted to help me today and she did! She freaked out a tiny bit when the vacum went to suck up the couch cover, but I quickly pulled it out again. Let's hope she continues this way. I used to dread vacumming as I knew she's cry and cry and shut herself in a room when I did it (not to mention Cara crying to, as Laura was crying). Brave girls today!
I think Cara was almost trying to put her head on the bed last night and look through her legs...but hard though yet. My babies used to even breastfeed like this sometimes!!! Hilarious! You're lying on bed and your baby is feeding with her bum in the air hehe. I think all my bubs have done this hehe.
Playpen is great! Good when I want to do dishes or whatever and can't see her. She likes it, but gets sick of it sometimes. I give her lots of time to roam still. Got to practise that crawling....will be any day!
Just a quickie - I'll be back for persies tomorrow but I thought some of you might be interested in this link seeing alot of our bubba's are teething, I was interested to read the order the teeth come in as Bailey's 3rd tooth came through today - another bottom one, no top teeth yet Parenting and Child Health - Health Topics - Teeth - development and teething
Interestingly, The site also says the below - Hmmmmmm Teething is natural. A lot of research has been done which shows that babies are not more irritable or unwell when teeth come through. Personally I think some babies cope better with teething than others, but I believe from our experience that Bailey IS affected when teething, its clearly obvious to us!
Naomi: That's a good guide! Thanks for showing us! I know from my 4 kids..all 4 suffered when they teethed. As for ages they got their first tooth...that ranged from 5-11mths. Cara is getting her laterals NOW, so she's got them before she hit 9mths (she's not yet 9mths). Just a rough guide I guess. Looks like we are in for a bit more teething yet. And then the molars hit in the toddler years..oh yay.
I showed Cara the video of Cerys clapping before. I said to her "See..Cerys can do it! She's the same age as you" hehe. Though ofcourse all the babies seem to do doing things at all different stages now. When I look back at old video of Laura it reminds me of the things they learn..blowing kisses, indian calls, clapping, head looking through their legs, pointing etc
Am thinking of getting Cara a little outfit like I had made for Laura's 1st birthday.
I also got photos taken of her in it. See link. Login | Facebook
I can't find the same lady on ebay anymore though. Maybe I will ask the Karousel Kids lady if she can do one similar. There is a couple of breastfeeding pics on there too..just for you ladies (Laura when she was about 11mths)
Bridg: Sorry to hear you and Logan are unwell...get better soon!!
The people who did the research finding that babies are no more irritable or unwell during teething can come and look after my baby during the night! He's awake more than he's asleep. Hmmm, actually, I'm the one that's awake more than asleep. Kyson manages to dose as long as I'm patting or rubbing his back, therefore, Mummy=awake and baby=asleep, lol!
Bridg and Nicky, I hope your both feeling better soon. Hang on, it IS Nicky that's feeling under the weather too isn't it? Gosh my brain is total sleep-deprived smoosh right now!
Oh, I'll tell you the one thing that's going to make me totally snap right now? I'll crack it at DH if he says something like "With Kyson sleeping like he is at them moment, is right now a good time to be thinking of another baby?" or something along those lines. He's said something like that in the past and I've explained that Kyson is going to be at least 9 months older by the time a baby comes along. But if he says something now I'll be very quick to point out that it's HIM that has set a deadline for us getting pregnant. He says that we need to be pregnant by his birthday (2nd July). I guess we find out tomorrow if that's even a possibility, but if it's not, then I've got news for him... Because this little Mummy is GOING to get her second baby!
Cathy - speaking of vacuums - I need another- DOH, another bloody expense! I just vacummed and it kept turning itself off, its so old and feral, it's barely hanging onto its life LOL I think I might have to chuck this one on the credit card, it wont wait till we go back to full pay in July!! DOH, I tend to vacuum when Bailey is asleep, it never worried him until he was about 6 months old! He crys now, mind you he cries when I blow my nose, although I am a bit of a foghorn
Vic - How are you surviving? Only a few more sleeps I hope. LOVE the vid of CJ clapping, so cute!
BG - LOL @ the mental picture of E banging her dummy along the bars prison style! They certainly know how to make a bit of racket to get our attention don't they? If I am in another room and Bailey wants me, he just starts yelling - too funny!! Although I must say it ain't funny at 4am!
Amy - How's work? I guess you'd be wearing your Tuesday top today? PMSL, I haven't tried on my work clothes yet, I might do it this arvo..... I think I am in denial that they might fit!! We'll soon find out!!
Bella - How are the markets going? Hope you are successfully drumming up a bit of business.
Nicky - Re your other post, no way are you a helicopter parent, you are a fab Mummy who clearly knows what is freedom to explore versus dangerous situations that aren't worth risking - I hope you know how fantastic you are
KL - How is Kyson's walking progressing? They seem to get the hang of it very quickly! I remember our god son went from wobbly steps to practically running about in a matter of weeks (although he was about 15 months)
Nicole - Re your FB post, I know what you mean about always buying the kidlets new toys etc, it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to resist, I try to be good but every now and then I think 'STUFF IT' and just buy things hehehhee
