Hey all... just thought I would bump the hread up... almost missed it. Alls good here. Becca has been having some fantastic tantrums lately and they even interrupt her sleep... or mine! She wakes up screaming NO NO NO NO! Shes really hard to settle then! Her language is coming along really well. Shes picking up new words and is able to mimik too. Shes also esting her limits too.. today i told her off and she came up to me and smacked me on the leg and said...no, dont! Too funny!
Hope all is well
Bella is that same! She can say so many words! and her tantrums are coming along nicly! lol! I told her off today and she looked at me and just screamed! and kept screaming! She is also testing her limits (and ours!) she will climb on her chair and then say "Mummy... Get Down Bella!" lol
she will say back to us what we say to her! Funny... but try not to laugh at her when she is telling me off for telling her off!
She will run to the back door and yell at the dogs when they bark too!
YAY!! YAY!! YAY!! Big congrats Leigh - awesome news!! So glad everything went smoothly for you and your new little girl!
Argh, don't even get me started on tantrums - Sienna's are off the hook!!! She does the whole throw herself down on the floor, kicking and crying - joy, joy!! I'm getting much better at ignoring the naughty tantrums (ie, not getting what she wants) and differentiating them from the frustration tantrums (ie, can't get two blocks to join together etc), so that's helping a bit.
Her talking has been increasing amazingly!! She can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and her own interpretation of the alphabet, and she's incredibly bossy: "I do it" "Mummy eat this" "Daddy open the door please" "Chino (our dog) be quiet!!" - she's so cute!!
She's just finishing off her anti-biotics for two middle ear infections and slight tonsilitis - poor little thing, she's such a trooper when she's sick, but it's so lovely to have our happy healthy little girl back again.
So in short, we're all keeping well, no major dramas!
hope you're all well. We're still in hospital, possibly going home this when DH finishes work, if not should be tomorrow. I've still got my staples/stitches in & they'll probably come out tomorrow so it might be worth me staying one more night, plus in here I've only got one child to look after & no cooking or cleaning.
We decided to name our bub Lexie Charlotte. She is so cute, I love her to bits. So tiny & not much hair, pretty much bald lol.
Lara has totally rejected me since I've been in here. She won't come near me or even look at me. She's usually such a mummys girl, hope she warms up to me once I'm home. She has shown some positive interest in Lexie which is good, although she did whack her on the head yesterday. Cadence absolutely loves her though. She's a real mother hen & takes over.
Kate- any news on a bfp?
Gotta go, sorry for the lack of personals. I'll pop in again tomorrow or the next day.
Hello Everyone!
Loooong time since I have popped in! Busy busy with my 2 kiddies now (as you would all know how that goes!!) Bella will be 3 in December as you would all know... Man where has the time gone?? She is such a bright happy, confident beautiful lil girl! She is very switched on and always has the last word over me!
Hamish is 6.5 months old already! He is such a big boy and strong in every way! He will be a big strapping lad I have no doubt.
H man still wakes once a night for a bottle and most nights Bella is still up once.. Though last night age slept through again... One night they will both sleep through together... Won't they?!? Lol
Glad your all well!! Xo
Good to hear from you Kate. Glad to see that Bella and Hamish are doing well!
Mel, happy birthday for last week. I hope you had a fab day & that Amy had a great time at her party yesterday.
Speaking of birthdays, it's Lara's on Wesnesday. I can't believe she is 3 already....and all your little ones bdays aren't too far away either. It's hard to believe we were all pregnant this time 3 years ago. The past 3 years has gone so fast. I've still got all her presents to wrap, better do it some time today.
We found out on Friday that DH has a new job, he starts on the 21st November but it requires us to move. It's a very small mining town that we're moving too. I'm not sure how I will handle moving from a city to a town that only has one supermarket. There are no houses available yet so DH is going on his own & we'll go sometime next year. It means in the mean time that DH will only fly home every 6 wks or so and will only be home for like 3 days at a time. The kids are going to miss him & I will need a break when DH gets home. I'm going to be very busy.....Laurin I will understand what it's been like for you.
Great to hear from you Kate... definately know how busy life gets with more than 1 baby!!! Hope they sleep for you soon. It took quite a while for Olivia and Rebecca to start giving me a full night sleep... then Amy was born and it was all over with! Are you planning any more children?
Rebecca, thanks for the Birthday wishes. I had a great day. Did you end up getting out for your wedding anniversary? Amys party was so fun and my family suprised me with a voucher to Hepburn Springs for a day of pampering!!! yay!
Congrats on the job. Good luck with the move, It will take a while to get used to living remote. Is it a long term thing? I cant imagine how it would be just to see your dh once in a while... I would struggle!!! Good luck... exciting times ahead!
We finally got our home loan extention and now we can do our major renovations. Its a bit scary and a bit sad! Lots of memories in this house! However we need the space and its better to do it now before the price of construction goes up!
My goodness... Rebecca is 3! And all I can think of is... you guessed it..... mmmm.. maybe I could have another baby! And the funny thing is that the other day after a close call of dtd on o day, Adam is kind of excited.... we will have to see hey!
