Needles today:( Im interested to see how tiny she weighs now hahaha
Good luck with the needles Kass!
As horrible as they are, it's still nice getting cuddles for the rest of the day... i'm a mean mum i think.
So needles al done:) She hardly even cried, which made it easier for me to deal with. Annabelle was a delight and made me look like a really great mother, how well behaved she was haha
Lucy is growing nicly, teeny tiny 14lb 11oz hehe
:bump:
Kass - awwww you are a good mum - even if they both had of cried it doesn't change the fact that you're great! I am also very jealous of your tiny little Lucy - my Eli is an elephant (but a very gorgeous one)!
PS i love the little bump emoticon.
xx.
haha He's a beautiful boy:) I still just love his name!:
The bump emotion is cute hey:)
Hi girls. I'm about ready to burst into tears right now. DH and I went to poker last night and DS stayed with MIL and FIL - time for us to have some time for ourselves because we usually take him. We got home at just on midnight and he was awake for bout an hour, then went back to sleep.. now the little turd won't go back to sleep and he's been up since 5:50am (it's now 6:30am) and I am totally peeved and I just wish I could have some proper sleep again :cry:
DH is back at work now and he came out after I left the bedroom and kept insisting I go to bed, but of course, I feel horrible if he's up because he always gives me the 'But I have to work' excuse all the time.
I just want to sleep :wall::wall::wall:
On another note, DS has his 6 month needles tomorrow - Gonna see if they can weigh him as I'm curious of his weight.
Liz, i'm sorry you've had a hard night/morning. Maybe 6 month growth spurt? Or just a cranky day....
I hope you had a great time a poker though... maybe just remember all the good times atm to get you through.
I am feeling like a suitably bad mum atm - i was doing housework and thought it was very quite in Eli's playroom so i went in to check on him and he had fallen asleep in his Jumperoo.... he didn't make a peep one moment there was music playing and the next silence so after 5 mins of quiet i went in to check and he was asleep... i'll have to post some pics on FB (i haven't posted any for ages!).
Tam: thats pretty cute tho hehe. Cant wait to see some recent piccies of lil Eli :)
Kass: Alissa is tiny like Lucy.. i love having a little baby, except when i tell people she's 6 months.. "oh but she's so tiny" haha i do feed her i swear.. LOL
Your such a fantastic mummy, your girls are soo gorgeous!!
LJ: :hug: :hug: i know how frustrating it it.. im hoping your sleeping as i type ;) we went to see jons Uncles from Melbourne the other night (plus id spent thatw hole day at MG) we didnt get home til 9.30 she went to sleep at about 10, i didnt sleep right away had to get bottles clean act.. then she woke at 4.30 and i was soo tired still, she had her bottle and fell asleep in my bed but i cant sleep properly when she's in bed with me, i know alot of people co-sleep and i think thats amzing but i just cant do it, not for fear of rolliong on her or anything, i know i wouldnt do that.. just that i know she's right there and yeh.. icant really explain it lol.
afm, work is good, yesterday was probably my hardest day to date.. i really REALLY missed her. and i started getting a little upset. but i kept it together. i got a parking ticket too (grr) i thought it was 6 hour parking.. but was only 3 (do they even have 6 hour parking LOL) and i was there for just over 5 hours.. its only $20 but im still dirty about it. THEN i went and got some things from woolies, i thought id splash out and buy a new body spray ( i dont wear it around Alissa, just coz the smell is so over powering) but i do wear it when im at work. payed $5 for it, got home and the silly chick out lady didnt put it in my bag.. i was so mad. im not fricken made of money, i know its only $5 but t was such a waste.
Jon come shome today, cant wait. ive really missed him. even tho im working 3 of the 4 days he's home :(

Im actually quite proud of myself!!
Fi, my sweet, i hope your doing ok? i know you work much harder than i do.. i hope your doing well xx
You'll get the hang of it, then fall pg again haha:
Fi-How much do you work? Where are you lately?
How is everyone else going? More importantly how are your babies growing?
Hello girls!
Oh Stevie, sounds like you had a really rough day the other day. Grrr. I hope things are a little better now... just in time for you to go back to work tomorrow by the sounds of things!
Hi there Kass - how is your little munchkin going?
I have a question for you anyone that might be able to help me here.... 2 weeks ago i had a very well behaved little boy... then i took his dummy away and he was a little cranky for a few days but then back to being a good boy. Now, someone has stolen my well behaved baby and left me with one that cries whenever he goes to bed and is sometimes cranky during the day as well. I just don't understand... nothing has changed in his routine, he's not missing any sleeps I just don't understand but it is wearing me out! During the day he will cry to go to sleep and i have to keep settling him but once asleep he's out for the usual amount of time and is still sleeping through at night, but for some reason he is fighting going to sleep but seems to calm really quickly when i am in the room with him.... when i'm not there are tears.
I'm not a fan of controlled crying (although in saying that I think everyone should do what works for them as long as the baby isn't getting distressed because they are crying for so long) but i have been letting him cry for about 2 mins before i go in... it's not a stressed cry that he has it's more of a demanding cry (iykwim).
Please help me... i feel like I am going crazy!
Kass. your so right.. ill just figure it al out and then ave another one ;)
Tam: the only t ing that i can suggest is maybe solids? Does he need to eat more? i know this sounds weird but my GF has a baby around the age ours is and he was like that, she was onyl feeding him of a nigth now she feeds him twice sometimes 3 times a day and he's nto so bad.
Im so sorry he's been so cranky :(
Tam- Sounds like teething. I have had the same trouble. I wouldn't control cry, do you still swaddle him????
I bought a swaddler and Lucy sleeps MUCH better;)
Tip: If he's crying with pauses in the cry then let him go for no more then 2 mins;) If its a waa waa waa constant, dont let him cry. Pat him, cuddle him etc.
I have been reading this book, its a lifesaver!
Mind you Lucy still ends up in bed with us lol
During the day though, since getting the swaddler. I put her down with her mobile on rapped in her swaddler, and thats it she'll be down for 1 1/2 at a time. Night time we're still to get it right BUT I dont mind cuddles in bed;)
i just wanted to come in with a brag :redface: hope you dont mind..
Miss A is now army crawling her way around everywhere!! Im so proud of her!! She's also sitting up unassisted just beautifully too, but she sometimes topples over. but she'll get there!!!
Just had to share.. im so excited!! Got a stupid grin on my face hehe ;)
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy Alissa! Go baby, go!
Lucy is sitting on her own, and moving heaps around the floor but no crawling, thank god, for now:)
Congrats to all our bubs then for all the movement and sitting up! :clap:
E is sitting up really well and at the longest has managed to sit up for about 45 mins before toppling over. He loves to just sit and play with his toys, and of course put them in his mouth!
As for crawling, we have none of that. But i put him on the floor on his tummy ysterday and he started wriggling backwards.... with a massive trail of drool following him! DH and i made the joke that if we lose him oneday we'll just follow the drool and be sure to find him!
Thanks for your advice girls too... I have been doing some reading and I think we might have a case of separation anxiety coming through (although i do think his gums are a little tender as he bites everything and has a few nice big white lumps). I have found he is fine and settled and will go to sleep in his cot just fine - provided he can see me, but if i am not there then there are tears.
I don't swaddle him anymore, he was managing to get himself out every sleep so i changed him to sleeping bags at about 3 months. I loved swaddling him because he looked so cosy and i think it would be great for winter too, but he is just too much of a squirmer. To give you an idea, when i put him down at night it is not uncommon for him to turn himself so he is either sleeping across the cot or do a full 180 turn so he sleeping up the other end of the cot. Little terror...
As for feeding him more Stevie - he already has 3 solid meals a day plus 2 x 240ml bottles and 2 x 120ml bottles..... if he eats anymore he is going to be an elephant! LOL
Crazy baby - i thought we had a nice little routine going and neither of us was sleep deprived or anything... and now this! Oh well, i will enjoy giving him the extra cuddles and kisses while he is so sookie.....
xx.
No crawling, except for commando crawling here but no sitting up properly though. It doesn't matter, he'll get there when he's ready. He really trys to sit up in his carseat by pulling himself up by the straps.
BUT! He does give me and DH kisses (in his own way) - It's an open mouth kiss, where he puts an open mouth on our cheek then his tongue hits the cheek, it's just too cute :)
Hope everyone is doing well
Liz - he will get there when he's ready... no need to rush these things! They learn so quickly, it was only a week or 2 ago that E started pulling himself up in his carseat too so it prob won't be too long now.....
I agree that the kisses are way too cute. Eli has just started doing the same thing to me. In the morning when he gets out of bed he gives me a kiss by opening his mouth, putting it on my cheek and slobbering... he has also just discovered my jaw bone so tries to teethe on that by gumming me after he has given me a kiss!
Hi All
sorry its been so long, just so busy! lots going on at the moment, flat out at work had my graduation from uni plus my 30th birthday, mum has been here, I've been away etc so just haven't had time to post. Plus i've been struggling with some PND which has been dragging me down but I think I am finally shaking it now and seem to be having mostly good days :D
Stevie, sounds like you've had a bit of a rough time - did I read that AF has also returned? (cant remember if that was you or not!) anyway could just be your hormones adjusting. Mine are a bit all over the place too and I've had some shoking days!! Your story about the body spray reminded me so much of me last week - we had virtually no food in the house but we'd had no time to go shopping and I had to work, was flat out at work, but ducked out at lunch to buy some groceries and I was very proud of myself (trying to juggle shopping, eating, expressing etc!) anyway I got home from work and realised I'd left all my groceries at work :wall: I was so cranky!!
Also stevie yay for Miss A moving around everywhere!!
In fact yay for all of our babies for growing up so big and strong - what wonderful mummies we are :clap:
LJ hope things have settled down for you.
Tammie - i feel for you. Someone has stolen my perfect baby too :sad: Sounds like everyone has given you some wonderful advice so I hope things settle down for you
Rach & Rach hope you are both doing well
DM - I'm here! working 3 days a week. Anymore words from Lucy?
AFM Leila has been a horror!! Poor little thing is teething and she's really struggling. The bottom 2 teeth came through without too much drama but the top ones are giving her a lot of trouble. for the past 2 weeks she's been waking up to 6 times a night screaming and I've been at my witts end with her. This is a baby who for the past 3 months has slept 9-10 hours a night, every night without making a peep. It is heartbreaking to see her so distressed. The last few nights have been better, she has still been waking but only once or twice and is not screaming as much. Feeding has been a nightmare too becasue she has been biting. She did settle down with the biting but then started up again something shoking today so I'm hoping this means that the top teeth are almost through as that's what happened with the bottom ones :crossfingers: BUT, aside from all the challenges she is absolutely adorable! She's been sitting up for a few weeks now and has finally figured out how to crawl forwards which is just wonderful to watch. Oh and we have kisses here too which magically make everything better ;)
Time to bath and try and settle my little sweetheart.... praying for a good night!
Hugs to all
Fi
Wow - it's been super quiet in here!! Where is everyone? :hello:
All going ok here now after a shocker of a week last week. We all got some tummy bug and spent a couple of days puking everywhere which was just awful. Poor Leila was almost choking on her vomit as it was coming up with so much force. Then we got her 6 month needles and I wanted to get the swine ful shot as she is just getting everything from day care so I thought it would be wise to get it - but the nurse stuffed up and gave her the regular flu shot - the one that they said a few days earlier was not allowed to be given to under 5's :wall: so that was a bit stressful as I was panicing thinking she was going to have a terrible reaction but all ok. She did get high temperatures but nothing serious thank goodness. So really, it was a terrible week!
What is interesting is that I took Leila to the health nurse today and wanted to talk about her behaviour, teething, interrupted sleep etc and how basically my beautiful baby has recently turned nasty :lol: Anyway I was thinking that her teeth were just causing her all this grief resulting in all the problems we are having but the nurse said she thinks its more likely behavioural. She thinks that Leila is suffering from a bit of separation anxiety which is why she is so clingly and sooky and waking all night screaming for me. The fact that I have been doing everything I can to sooth and comfort her has just reinforced this behaviour so I need to try and get out of this habit. It will be hard I know but the nurse thinks that by making a few changes things should settle down in a few days, so here's hoping! Oh and she is 7.2kg ;)
So how is everyone?? It's lonely in here!
Fi x
Hey Fi! Wow Miss L sounds like she's growing just fine:) Seperation is sooooo normal!
They go through it at all different ages! And no doubt she will go through it again!
Do I have you on facebook?
Wll Lucy's christening is this Sunday! So Im super busy with that:rolleyes: Im not looking forward to the fact Dp hasn't told any of his family yet! Ill get all the blame:wall:
Come on ladies come back!
Hello my lovelies,
my, it is quiet in here isnt it, im sure we are all just super busy tho.
Fi, i am so sorry Leila is being so grumpy ive heard some stuff about seperation anxiety, i really REALLy am not loooking forward to it, tho im pretty sure we had a bit of it a few months ago.
i read your thread about her getting the wrong shot :o i couldnt believe it when i read it, will you be doing anything about it? contacting someone about the stuff up? i think i would.. what if it had been something really bad they mixed it up with? .. i wont go on it makes me sound so negative :(
She;s growing beautifully Im going to take Alissa in to get weighed after work tomorrow, its been a few weeks.. my little girl is so tiny, and one of the smallest in my mothers group lol. i dont realise how little she is til i see with all the other bubbas,
Kass: good luck with your christening on sunday, i hope your ILs dont get mad at you about the invites its not ur fault.
LJ: those kisses sound soo cute!! Alissa doesnt give me kisses but whenever i say "Mum, mum, mum" to her she breaks out in a HUGE grin hehe
afm: well im working, being amum, working, being a wife, working.. its never ending and its starting to catch up :( im doing ok, but some days are a little harder than others.
I feel like the worst mum in the world, im working tomorrow (wednesday) and thursday, so she'll be with the ILs til late on thursday while i leave right from work to get jon, then saturday sunday will be my first night away from her (we're going to jons work to do a tour of the mine) and then im working monday :crying: i really feel like a horrible mum.. im trying not to think about it to much..
Alissa's 5th tooth is coming through (its the top front 2, she got the sides top ones first).. and today she was grinding her little bottom teeth on the top one thats had'nt broken the skin, but after grinding away some of her gum and bleeding, her front tooth is now through :crying: my poor baby was bleeding .. i just feel terrible :(
ill come back a bit later when im in a better frame of mind to not just sit here and be so negative.. listen to me, i sound so shocking :(
Much love ladies, im so sorry xx
:grouphug:
Happy Mothers Day everyone! :loveshower:
Hope you all had a great day :D
Will be back later with more but just wanted to jump on to let you know I'm thinking of all you wonderful mummies today ;)
Fi x
:hello:beautiful ladies hope you all had a lovely mothers day!!! we did nothing but rest and recover got home Sat arvie...we had planned to unpack and stuff but were too tired...Jase surprised me while on holidays with a new camera nothing flash a fuji S1600 but nice for shots where I need to zoom or for scenery ones my little point and shoot is great for inside with the kids but not good for large shots so that was nice...and my mothers day gift
so I got to meet Amber (boomba) and Chantelle (shades) from this group and Rachel (CQ or combat queen) as well was a lovley morning have some pictures of the 3 boys together which I will get on FB this week...
we had a great holiday...time in brisbane 4 days in Dubbo, a day in Bathurst 5 days in batemans bay, then we went to port stephens for the night, 1 night in coffs harbour 2 in Ballina then the homeward trip began...boys did good, Luke took to waking at night which when in a small space is painful...
as for Luke he is full on crawling now, and gets into a semi seated position by himself its so cute...but very full on we used to have barricades up when Jack was little but can't really put them up this time as it will impend Jacks movements :shakehead:
Jack got a bit sick last week with a viral sore throat and it is getting worse moved to his chest so time for some anti bis I think and poor Luke is now sick so we are off to drs today..thankfully they could get us in
anyway will be posting pics on FB some time this week so keep a eye out
Hello ladies!
Lucy's christening went amazing! Im posting pics on fb so be sure to keep an eye out;) She wore my sisters christening dress and shoes(my sister is 25) so its a 'vintage' dress! Then what made the outfit was what Rach made Lucy. An AMAZINGLY beautiful head piece! Soooooooo greatful:)
All went really well:) Everyone we loved was their, besides my dad:(. It all went to plan:)
Rach- Sounds like an awesome holiday! Bet its nice to be home though:)
Stevie- Have you been changing your username? My gosh Alissa has a lot of teeth! They can put the poor bubbas through hell:(
So how did everyones motthers day go?! For many it was your 1st!
Well, no crawling, no sitting up and pulling himself up here - kinda feeling really c**p about it too :(
:
Dont be silly! They all do things at different times! Seriously one minute Lucy was sitting saying words and had a tooth, since then, tooth went back down, hasn't progressed from sitting and has stuck to the same two words haha
One min they do heaps.....then nothinhg! I mean William has TWO teeth, Lucy, non!
:hug: LJ hun please dont feel bad about your beautful little man not doing somethings h will do them! F has only really started crawling properly in the last week plus he has a big brothr to show him how :) your doing a wonderful job!
Rach was so great meeting you we had the best time! Sounds like your trip was pretty awesome! Hope the boys are btter soon x
stevie wtg Miss A! What a little cutie you have!
kass ecing is elimination communiication so where you watch for cues as to when to do a wee etc! We did it with Myles o
hi everyone! Im on my phone and its taking forever to type! Will bbl xxxx
I now know what it is:) How on earth do you know the 'cues'? I have heard the reason why bubbas wee and poo when they have 'no nappy time' is because they like the free feling and dont like being in nappies, maks sense really!:
Was Myles tt early because of the efforts you put in?
Hi Ladies and Bubs,
It has been a while since I have posted... nothing too exciting happening, Eli has just been high maintenance lately so I haven't been on here for a while.
We had 6 mth needles yesterday and have had lots of tears and grumpiness since then... I am hoping this passes soon because it is wearing me out! I am so glad there is now a break for 6 months before the next set of needles. But he is now 8.75kg and about 75cm.... growing very quickly but given his length he is looking quite lean now.
Eli seems to be developing gradually... he sits up and plays for an hour or so at a time now (without falling) and yesterday he managed to get himself to his knees and rock back and forth a couple of times so hopefully we are getting there with the crawling (although the smarter part of me says we don't want crawling since that means chaos!). Eli loves his solids and we now have 3 solid feeds a day and only 2.5 bottles (2 x 240ml and 1 x 120ml). I am thinking of dropping the 120ml bottle as Eli happily drinks water also...... does anyone know if it's ok to have min bottle feeds or should they still be having lots?
I'm going to give some personals a go but please don't think I am ignoring you if i miss you... there is just a lot to catch up on and i feel like I am still working on it!
LJ - don't feel crap that William isn't crawling etc.... I second DM's comment that he has teeth! We have no teeth and I really wish we did. He will get there when he's ready and in the meantime enjoy the fact that you still have a little bubby who is cuddly and not wanting to be down doing his own thing all the time... i think I'll miss Eli when he just wants to crawl and explore by himself... in some small way it will be like he doesn't need me.
Rach - I am so glad you had a great holiday. I saw you had posted some pics on FB so will have to check them out later...... hope the kidlets get better now though
DM - so glad the christening was fantastic. I love Rach's work and am very jealous that i don't have a little girl to put all the beautiful bows on (DH would not be impressed with me if i put them on Eli) so i can't wait to see some photos of the christening and the headpiece.
Fi - we miss you in here. So glad you are back but sorry to hear you have been quite sick too. You were mentioning about the separation anxiety... we have the same issue here and it only seems to have developed in the past 2 weeks... what did the HCN suggest to you to try? I have been trying to do some reading but can't find anything too useful as most articles seem to deal with older children who have it... and unfortunately Eli can't understand my explanation at this point! I'm not sure what to do so any suggestions you have are great! I am having trouble getting him to play by himself or go to sleep without being in the room with him.
Stevie - you sound very busy there! You are doing such an awesome job of balancing everything. And congrats to A on her 5th tooth! Could she donate one to Eli please?
Amber - I am so excited I am going to meet you! Yay.
Again, really sorry if i missed things but I am still in catch up mode.
xoxo.
Hi Everyone
Rach - how awesome that you got to meet up with so many lovely ladies, glad you had such a great time :D
LJ like the others have said all babies do things at different times so its really important to try not to compare William with other babies. A friend of mine has a little boy 6 weeks older than Leila and its amazing to see them each doing different things - there are things that he does that Leila doesn't do and there are things that Leila does that he doesn't. I think having older siblings can really help them to progress earlier too. Leila doesn't have any older siblings but she goes to day care 3 days a week and she is the youngest baby there so all day she watches older babies crawling, walking, playing etc and I definitely think that has encouraged her. I mean, otherwise how do they know? It can take a while for them to figure things out for themselves but by watching older babies/toddlers they tend to pick things up quicker. At least that is what I think! Sounds to me like your little man is doing wonderfully and doing everything he should so don't let it bother you just because someone else's baby is doing something that he isn't doing yet.
Kass - I don't have FB! Can you believe it, I must be the only person in the world that isn't on it :lol: DH does though, he hardly uses it but he is on it so maybe I can find you through him and start updating his FB to make it 'our' FB! How do I find you?? I'm so glad Lucy's christening went well I bet she looked just adorabe!
Stevie OMG your little girl has so many teeth! Sounds like they don't give her too much trouble thank goodness. Leila is an absolute nightmare with hers, she's been screaming all morning pulling at her gums and ears etc the poor little thing. Big :hug: for finding it hard to juggle everything - I know exactly what you are going through!! It's hard to try and do a great job of everything and I have had a lot of bad days but it does get easier and you'll sson settle into a better rountine and be feeling more on top of things.
Boomba - :hello: It's been a while since we've seen you in here!
Tammie I hear ya on the high maintenace baby!! I've recently had a couple of days where Leila has been fantastic and I thought I had my gorgeous happy little baby back, but she's been sooking and screaming all morning so looks like my good girl is still mia :wall: I'm not too sure about the bottle/solids thing sorry but I think it's important that milk is still their main food until about 12 months... from what I have read anyway. Sounds like Eli is doing really well and such a big boy!! leila is only about 65cm so she seems tiny compared to your boy! As for the separation anxiety well it is hard... the nurse gave me some advice which is helping but unfortunately I still have times where her teeth drive her crazy and she's in a lot of pain so using those techniques doesn't work and it's so hard to know what to do and when because I dont know if she is crying because she is in pain or just because she wants to be with me... But basically she said just to comfort her in ways other than picking her up and cuddling her. Leila was crying/screaming a lot during the night and I was told that by going in to her all the time and picking her up when she wouldn't settle I was only encouraging her to cry more because crying louder & longer = mum giving me a cuddle and maybe a feed if I really scream the house down (comfort feed only though, she just wanted to be with me and hardly fed) so she said I can go to her but do everything I can not to pick her up. Don't make eye contact, tell her its time to sleep and try to soothe her but dont talk to her (going shhhhh is good though). She said dont bother gradually letting her cry for longer before going to her because she said all your doing is teaching them to cry longer (I know others would disagree). During the day just give her lots of stimulation with toys that make noises, things with different textures etc and try not to pick her up and carry her around just because she is sooking. I guess it probably sounds like a 'hard' approach but when she explained it to me it did make sense and I definitely was giving in too easily and cuddling her whenever she was sooky. Now I let her have a little cry and see what happens, often at night she will just put herself back to sleep and during the day she can be easily distracted with new toys or by going outside and playing in the yard etc. Also I've started spending my time with her differently - i used to think that I was spending heaps of time with her when we were home but I don't think it was the right kind of interaction. Now I tend to play with her a lot more and i think she is happier / more satisfied that we are having fun together and she is seeing me as more than just her comforter and things have improved for us. I think this change in our interactions has helped the most - just really focusing on having quality time together I hope some of that makes sense!
AFM well Leila has had a few good days but it looks like her top teeth are just about to break the skin so until they come through I guess I'm in for a challenging time :doh: Last night she started really crawling properly, not half crawling, half moving comando style - she's definitely got the hang of it now! She's also trying to pull herself up on the furniture but it will probably be a while before she can really do that, she's just experimenting at the moment and learning what she can and can't do. Oh and she claps hands when we sing 'if your happy and you know it, it's so cute!! So she is doing really well and I'm super proud of her.
Long post! Time to go.
Hi to everyone else
Fi x
You cant find me, whats your Dh name? I will find him and add you:):
Liz dont fret my weekly updates I get from another site say bubs may start sitting now then its crawling Luke is just ashow off and wants to do everything quickly LOL also he is same as Flynn and has a big brother to chase and keep up with...Jack didn't crawl till he was about 9mths and didn't walk properly till 14-15mths ...
Stevie Alissa is doing so well with her teeth, I was starting to worry bout Luke but CHN says 9mths is average for #1 tooth...Jack had 4 by now :lol:
:hello: everyone else...I'm too slack and tired to do personals :lol:
Luke has been crying the last few nights he settles back fairly quickly but I am up down every hr or so its so exhausting :sigh:
Kass - s glad Lucys christening went well, and you liked her bow :D She looked so pretty!!!
Fi - Look me up to hun, Racheal Blaxell.
Liz- aww please don't worry about what other bubs are doing. Each baby is so different. Ethan was 15mths before he walked, hated drawing or colouring in, couldn't sit until he was almost 10mths, lol he was a slow baby!! Though he did get all his teeth early. Now at 5 and half, he has lost 5 baby teeth (not happy about this, denist thinks we will need braces when he is older), is a very intelligent boy, pretty fast at running and a little artist in the making. As they say, slow and steady wins the race ;) Ethan has definatly proved that.
Stevie - awww Alissa is honestly just a cutey!!
Tam - Not sure on the min bottles thing actually. Though Evangeline decided back when i first gave her solids to cut her ilk right down. I myself wasn't happy with that, so i cut her solids back.
Hello to everyone else ive missed. Been a busy little bee here. Evangeline is doing well, still shorty and chunky though lol. Ok off to take buff to school .

Fi look me up too Rachel Edwards or harrydog@internode.on.net
Awww Rach those pics of Luke are gorgeous!! Leila is exactly the same, she crawls over to things and gets up on her knees and tries to pull herself right up. Often I'll find her with her arms stretched out on top of one of the speakers, her bum up and legs stretched out straight and up on her tippy toes - if that makes sense? Basically just progressing from upright on her knees to pulling herself up further but not having her hands up high enough to get completely vertical. So cute to watch.
Well Leila is an absolute pain at the moment!! We had to go pick her up from day care yesterday as she was absolutely beside herself and they didn't know what to do with her, she didn't want her bottles, temp was a little high, she wouldn't sleep etc. :wall: It is so frustrating. She's really not herself at the moment and I don't know what to do I'm so busy at work too and I can't keep taking time off. Then I feel bad because work is nothing compared to the health and happiness of my little girl but then again, work pays the bills! I was up and down all night with her and she's a sooky bum again this morning, I just don't know what to do. I can see little white bits just under the gums up the top so I'm really hoping those top teeth come through soon and that they are causing a lot of this unsettled behaviour. Then again there are plenty more teeth to come so I wonder how long this might go on for :sad:
Must go, Leila slept for 5 minutes and is now screaming again :wall:
yeah Luke does the up on tippy toes as well, its crazy Jack didn't start really crawling hands and knees till he was 9-10mths didn't really pull himself up till he was 11 mths then he walked properly around 15mths so its crazy Luke is full on crawling now...
