Hi Tine I am thankful charli isn't a 'bad' teether, gets sooky but not too bad. She has only 5 teeth..... how many does your lil one have?
Natasha- LOL @ Lily pee'ing on the floor, Charli does it ALL the time, but its cause i let her have nappy free time all the time. Last time i didnt know she'd pee'd and my nephew stepped in it, then he came and told me someone had spilt something.....when i told him what it was it was hilarious watching him rip his sock off.
Well i better go, charli has my phone listening to her fav song... Jet "that girls a genius' she sings along 'oh oh oh oh' so cute, but no doubt she's getting into the menu's and changing my settings :s
Enjoy yet another warm day hopefully all u interstate ladies have got nicer weather....
Thanks for the reply - don't worry, it's hard to find a moment to sit down and type anything... slackness is probably just busyness :-)
Thanks, yes the teething has settled ... it sometimes just takes so long! She seems to be getting one at a time at the moment, making the process very long and slow! But she's back to her happy self now, and even slept almost all night (she may have woken for boobies once last night, but I don't remember...!!) last night!! Yay!
Lily sounds cute! Four teeth at once ... crikey!
Finna also requests boobies wherever we are, but she clearly says 'boobs!' and pulls my clothing aside to get at them! I've grown a thick skin!
Finna is currently sporting seven teeth... there's more struggling to get through but happily they are giving it a rest at the moment! We use homeopathic teething powder and an amber teething necklace, and these did the trick nicely for the first four teeth, but the last 3 have been more of a drama...
Haha, yes, Finna does the peeing on the floor thing too, after her bath ... a few times she peed and then immediately slipped over on it, so I've learned not to let her have nappy free time on the tiled floor!
Wow Charli's teeth are really taking their time eh? lol
PMSL @ Finna slipping over in her pee..... its so funny when they do it but gross at the same time and of course sad cause generally it hurts their bums.
Charli is demanding i get off the comp now, shes yelling and sooking at me so i better go attend to her. lol.
IT amazes me how different little kiddies develop - especially teeth wise! Lily just needs her eyeteeth(thy are just about to pierce through, I can see them!) & she has the whole set - then it will be 2 year old molars & I don'tthink that they are far away. My little toothy mouth!
Oh today Piper took a toy from Lily & when I yelled at her to give it back(it was one of those evenings) she threw it at her. Of course Lily cried so I cuddled her, it wasn't unil I looked at herthat I saw she had a little cut under her left eye & it was all puffy & bruised straight away. My poor baby girl! What amean sissy she has! She was ok in no time but, oh, my poor little one! I squirted some boob milk on it right away so it will hurry up & heal & hopefully not scar!
No wee incidents for us today - I would have preferred that!
Yes, those poor little bums and mouths! I'm glad Finna wears nappies, or her little bum would be bruised from all the practicing walking sudden sits...
I'm amazed by the differences in teeth in different kids, too.
Poor Lily! Booby milk's great stuff, it's good for what ails ya! I used it when I had conjunctivitis last year... Finna fell head first some weeks ago onto the bricks on the porch (eek!), and a huge bruise immediately started apprearing. I gave her homeopathic arnica, and by the time the Dr was checking her head there was very little to be seen, nothing at all the next day. Arnica's good for what ails ya too!
Sure is, charli's def lagging behind, although atm im not complaining too much, im too tired to put up with a sooky teething baby. lol
Oh the fighting, that started long ago here, usually its charli bashing alyssa though and telling a 1yr old off is like wasting your breath but if i dont do it alyssa gets upset. This morning they were fighting over the play shopping trolley, alyssa had it then charli wanted it and wouldnt let go so then i unpeeling her fingers from it and she threw herself on the ground and had a lil tanty.... i just ignored her so she ran off and tried to steal the trolley from lys again
Then as i was making alyssa's lunch charli climbed onto the chari in the study and then ontop of the desk.....then fell off.... i was running around looking for her, i could hear her crying but had no idea where she was.... when i heard her scream i assumed she had fallen over in the bathroom. We got the carpets cleaned yesterday so the changetable was in the bathroom and charli just thinks its "the best" to climb up the side of the change table and sit/stand ontop.... I nearly had a heart attack but lys keeps forgetting to close the door.....thankfully its back in her room now so hopefully no more climbing..... i tell ya this kid is gonna be the death of me
Well its miss charli's bed time now so i better go get her into bed or she's gonna be mighty grumpy in the morning
Huh, yes, don't blame you ...I look at how many teeth 2 year olds have with some horror... she has to go through teething THAT many times in the next 9 months??!!
Crikey, kids are just full on little critters aren't they?! thay don't hold back when they've got something on their minds! Gotta love 'em (except perhaps when you're separating them ...!). Finna had a breath holding thing at 13months (went blue and passed out - I thought she was dead for a few seconds...) and her first real kicking feet stomping tanty recently - which I found funny, and laughed, so she stopped...
Kirra - How exciting Alyssa starting school - what a bugger with the parking - seems to be an issue at lots of schools around here! I'm very grateful that we'll be able to walk - it's only about 300m so would make no sense driving the car!! Also when the boys are older they can walk themselves - LOL!!
Charli sounds like such a little character! It's such a fun age for that!
Ethan only has 6 teeth - he got them all before he was 1 and hasn't had any since! LOL!
Natasha - Glad the girls are well! LOL on Pip's attitude - I certainly have it with Louis and Dylan at times...
Bugger about being back at work...good luck on talking your dh in to no.3 though!! I hope he agrees - I know how much you'd love another bubba!
Tine - Welcome! Glad the teething has now settled down for you...
My second 2 boys have done the breath holding and pass out tantrums...normally over and done with very quickly but gives you a big fright that's for sure!!! We're going to have very strong willed kids I think!
As for sibling fighting - I've certainly got lots of it here and I can only expect it to get worse - LOL! My mum freaks out but I think it's just natural for them to annoy each other. I'm always making them say sorry for something and cuddles and kisses. They're not usually violent with each other - more just snatching toys etc...
We've bought a new car!! Don't get it until next week some time but I'm very excited! I put the link on facebook if anyone feels like having a look! I LOVE it!! Never thought I'd say that about a van but it's go so many extra's that it feels like we'll be driving a luxury car! LOL! Very spoilt I am...bit of a stress getting a loan and having to pay for the thing though but we'll be fine!
Ethan's going well - starting to use lots more words and definitely getting into lots of mischief - the most annoying thing is when he throws his food and plate and placemat off the table - drives me crazy!!!!!!
Anyway, better go - got to take Louis to his sports class...luckily dh is home from work today so I don't have to drag them all out!! Chat later!
Hi everyone
Wow it looks like i have missed so much.
Kristee - exciting about your new car. I suppose you are going to need a bigger one to get all these boys around to there activites. I know the feeling re the plate etc going on the floor, very frustrating especially when you have just mopped the floors.
Hi Tine.
Ben seems to have a lot of teeth at the moment. His back ones are coming up now, we just give him pamol now. He gets so upset and it keeps him up at night, and us, so pamol has been our saviour.
We are having issues with him at the moment where if i tell him off for something, like climbing onto the table or getting into dangerous positions, he then runs to dad for a cuddle. So then dad and i have words cause it makes me look like the bad person. So he is now not picking him up and trying to reinforce why he is being told off!
Anyway, does anyone have a childrens table and chair set. We are going looking this weekend, just wondered if anyone had one. Don't really want to spend all weekend looking for one.
Yeah, teething is a crazy time! She seems to have stopped at 7. That's enough teeth for her apparently...
I don't have the school thing yet, but was a teacher in another life, and getting parking for a relief teacher can be hard .. the pick up drop off thing just looks insane!!
Crickey, sounds tricky with your sone running to dad, Robyn! How vexing! I find it hard to get on the same page sometimes.. I do most of the parenting, but we have had some serious clashes over stuff ... I do very gentle parenting approaches, but there are still always things to disagree about, although generally it works pretty well. I've been reading 'the Science of Parenting' which is SO SO helpful with understanding where their behaviours are coming from and helping them through it all in a positive way - LOVE it! It all works in practice too, which is rare and valuable...!!
Better try and get my sleepy daughter up again - she's a natural late sleeper like me, and I'm trying to get earlier sleep times so I can get her to bed at night ... she sleeps with me, but I got up an hour ago, and she declined ... "no, thanks mum, I'm right. Check in in an hour or two, I may need light refreshments"...!!! Haha!! I know I'll regret it later but I just can't bring myself to disturb her!!!
I'm in need of a little support, ideas and empathy..!!
I love co-sleeping with my beautiful girl, and the sleeping bit is pretty good but it's SO hard to get her to go to sleep! She's tired, I do all the right stuff - calming routine, lots of daytime outdoor play, sleepy music, walkingin a sling and rocking and boobies but she resists sleep for so long! It's really wearing me out. I'm trying to get us into a routine of waking at 8 so she'll sleep at somewhere between 8-9pm, but as I say . she's clearly tired, yawns and rubs her eyes and nearly drifts off ... then fights backand pops happily up wanting to play, have a drink, etc. I can't explain to her yet either why she needs to relax and sleep, or do a meditation or anything ...
I'm actually finding it really exhausting and stressful, and my partner doesn't seemto see the problem, which doesn't help...
Hi guys
finsmum - I can't offer any suggestions re getting you DD to sleep, just offer support in hoping you sort something out. Logan is great I just put him in bed and he sleeps...
Kristie - not long for you now. I am waiting to hear the birth announcement any day. How are you?? Do you have Ethan in a bed yet? How do you know when they are ready for one. I am hoping to not have two cots, but Logan doesn't seem anywhere near ready for a bed, he is still all over the cot every night.
Robyn - did you find a table and chairs? How is the teething going? Logan has all but the bottom two eye teeth, so 14 all up. I was fairly lucky that they didn't seem to bother him when they came through. When I tell Logan off, or he gets frustrated, he bangs his head on the floor!! I just try and ignore it as I don't want to accentuate the behaviour.
Kirra/Natasha - Hi, hope all is going well with your girls.
afm - I'm halfway through this pregnancy now, not sure where it has gone but it has happened quickly. We didn't find out the sex, leaving it a surprise again. Feeling heaps of movement now which is great. At almost 17 months Logan is still not walking, but at least he is finally pulling himself up on things (for the last couple of weeks). He doesn't really furniture walk yet but always wants me or dh to walk him around holding our hands. On the other hand he has an amazing vocabulary and will copy almost any word we say so I am not too worried. as long as he is progressing in some way.
Kylie - good to hear everything is going well. Those movements you feel are so amazing. Ben has started banging his head too, he seems to be having a lot of what I can only call are tantrums now. He has very runny poos last couple of days so must have bit of bug. Just got back from NZ and I think he caught it off his cousin.
Yes we bought a table and chairs from Ikea. We got a red set for $100.
I wouldn't worry about Logan not walking. They all do things in their own time. Even though you probably want him to, enjoy it while he can't walk. Once he can he will be in to everything and you will need eyes in the back of your head!
We are still trying for #2. I hate to think it, but we might have to start investigating the IVF route again. It makes me feel sick and horrible thinking about that again. My girlfriend just had another cycle and got another -ve result yesterday. It is so heart breaking.
Kristie - you must be hanging out now for baby to arrive. Hope you are doing well.
Kristie - Happy due date, I hope that boy of yours doesn't keep you waiting too long.
Robyn - I have my fingers and toes crossed for you in your ttc journey. It sounds like a very emotional roller coaster ride for you.
Today I took Logan for his first lot of professional photos (finally gave in as he is so cute) and he was happy for about 5 mins and then cracked it big time. I have to go back this arvo and try again after his sleep. I actually have to go and wake him up soon. Hopefully he is happy and lets her take more shots. It is so hard with a bum shuffler as he just wants to take off and won't sit still in the shots!!!
This is just a WOOHOO update - Logan is finally walking!!!! He still has his sea legs, but started about a week ago and hasn't looked back, he is so excited Hope you and your families are all well xx
Kylie - Woohoo on Logan walking!! How exciting! Wow - just noticed your ticker - this p/g is flying along for you!
Hi to everyone else!
Just a quick one from me also...things are going well here - super busy as you can imagine...have another bubba that catnaps through the day and seem super windy and chucky...make my days very draining but of course I wouldn't change a thing...am super tired as well but know this stage won't last forever. Jayden is gorgeous and the boys have been doing really well occupying themselves while I deal with him...I really am so lucky to have such great boys!!
Hope you're all enjoying your weekends! Chat late!
I am thankful charli isn't a 'bad' teether, gets sooky but not too bad. She has only 5 teeth..... how many does your lil one have?
