Hi Brydz! Wow, V's vocabulary is amazing! He is going to be one smart cookie!
What's up with Ben:
Teeth: 6 In total, 2 below, 4 up top. No more teething at the moment.
Vocab: just the usual - mum, dad, nan, bub (he points and says bubba when he spots another baby) and wow. Trying to say book, just comes out 'ook'.
Walking: Trouble on 2 legs a week after turning 10 months. Over it already haha
Personality: oh my goodness. Cheeky. Big Time. He is a show off and loves people looking at him ... unlike his sister. He is on the go the second he is awake to the second his put back in bed.
AND I am concerned about how much is going to eat as a teenager ... He eats more than my 4yr old. Put on 600g in 2 weeks. Holy crap.
Clover - No worries hun, just drop us a line whenever you can! Hope everything else is going well with you and the kids though!
Nikki - Yes, I know what you mean about missing this BB thread and our chats in here, even though we are all up to date on FB and yes, it is much easier to keep up to date, as you do with FB on the mobile! At least I get my BB addiction controlled when I post in the TTC thread! lol
Hi Brydz! Yes, I agree with Nikki - WOW, Vinny is saying a lot of words, but that's great!
What Noah is up to (up to no good mostly), lol:
Teeth: Noah has 5 teeth now, 2 at the top, 3 at the bottom (just cut the bottom one last week).
Words: Noah says mum-a, dad-a, bub-a, daddy, boo, hey, whoa, hoo (when he points at something).
Mobility: Noah is still crawling most of the time and man is he SUPER QUICK at it! lol But he gave his first real steps last week and have been doing it off and on since then although he hasn't really taken off walking properly IYKWIM.
Personality: Mr FRIENDLY, he is ALWAYS smiling and happy about 99% of the time! He is very busy/active and finally over his separation anxiety unlike a few months ago! lol Honest, I have a very happy chappy little boy on my hands and couldn't ask for a sweeter, cuter little man!
Sleep: He sleeps 11 hours overnight and has 2x naps during the day lasting about 2 hours each..
I hear ya on the eating too Nikki, I reckon I'm in trouble too once Noah hits the teens as he nearly eats more than me already!
Hiya to everyone else that might still be reading this thread!
wow the boys are doing great Nikki and Pretz.
they are just gorgeous, I love seeing the fb pics and watching them grow up. Yes Noah seems like a very friendly and happy little guy from what i've seen!
vinny is a charmer, today we had an impromptu photo shoot at the shopping centre and he was laughing and grinning so much like a dozen random shoppers stood around to watch. tad awkward I thought lol. everywhere we go he has ladies eating out of his hand definitely gunna have fun with the girls when he is older.
I forgot sleep, he usually sleeps about 10-11 hours overnight and still has a short nap after breakfast and sometimes 1 or 2 other naps (lunch time and arvo). Depends on what we are up to.
As for the talking, my family are all talkers you struggle to get a word in edge ways, so I guess Vinny will fit in just fine. My 2yo niece is a parrot too. lol
any more babies planned for you guys?
has been so long I haven't changed my ticker yet, my sisters little man Laithan Tulloch is now almost 8 weeks old!
clover, happy birthday to the other 10.10.10 baby! Hope summer enjoyed her day xx
Teeth: cooper has 6 at the moment, 4 at the top, 2 at the bottom and the 2 bottom eye teeth are visible under the gum
Words: mum, dad, bub, nan, pop, Cooper, dog, cat, car, yum, who, huh, book, out (while banging on the backdoor wanting to go outside) and the latest which blew us all away was grandad after my dad said it to him like 3 times in a row
Mobility: still mainly crawling, he can stand and take steps but he's super impatient and learning how to walk is to slow so he just gets down and crawls lol
Personality: he LOVES being the centre of attention but it's a catch 22 because if strangers talk to him he goes shy and hides away lol, around people he knows but he is so insanely funny and just has the best personality. Some of the stuff he does just cracks us up it's so funny, he is so insanely smart! Everyone who plays with him is amazed at his knowledge. If you show him something once he knows how to do it! He's very inquisitive, you can see his brain ticking over all the time while he's trying to work things out. He's definately a people person, he will rarely entertains himself, he'd much prefer having someone play with him and his toys or he'll follow you around wherever you go, make doing anything very difficult lol.
Sleep: he used to sleep 7-7 no questions asked sometimes even as late as 7-9, but he got a bad cold a few weeks back and that messed his sleep up, he started waking numerous times a night but since we changed his bedtime routine to add lavender and lots of it he now sleeps 9-7.30 on occasions he'll wake once during the night but goes straight back to sleep. I'm happy with that, it's better than waking hourly like he did a few times haha
Clover - Hope you are enjoying your time over in my neck of the woods LOL How cute that Summer is running!
Raffy - I'm so glad that Cooper's sleeping has sorted itself out again ... WTG on the lavender. How are you feeling post wedding? It's quite sad when it is all over.
LOL at Vinny being a charmer Brydz. That's so cute. Ben is a bit of a show off too for photos. Boys
Yeah Pretz, their appetites are amazing huh! Ben has a HUGE bowl of porridge for breakfast ... more than me definately!
Re Brydz's question - We will be having another bub, maybe 2 more (will see how that goes after the 3rd). I won't be having one anytime soon though. Perhaps get pregnant when Ben is between 2 and 3 years old. Don't want a massive age gap, but I am already run off my feet with 2 so I need a bit more of a break.
Sleep - Ben sleeps 12 hours overnight (without waking ... finally! Has been like it for about 3 weeks). Since I cut down on booby time! 2 x 2hr naps during the day too.
AFM - Really need to go hang my mountain of washing after our little escape down the south for 4 days and do some groceries ... yuck. Hope you are all well!!
It's very quiet in here.......I miss us chatting away in here......(even though we have the FB group too).
Brydz - You asked whether we were planning anymore babies.....well, yes, DH and I are currently TTC bub #2 and it's our 3rd month of trying this month. Currently in the and not reading into it too much, just going with the flow for now. We always said just 2 kids, and I'm sure that if bub no 2 is a girl, then that will probably be it, but if it's another boy.....well, then perhaps I'll try to twist DH's arm to have another! I would really LOVE a little girl, but would be happy with either, as long as bub is healthy! How are you and Vinny and how's things going with J?
Clover - How have you been hun? Are you still living with your parents? Hope you are all well and give Summer a kiss from us.
Hi Raffy, Vix and everyone else that might be reading this thread! Hope you're all doing well!!
AFM, cut my toe against a gate last Friday and it's been sooooo painful, but now it's starting to ooze a bit and looks very red, so MIL reckons I should go see a doctor incase of infection. Noah just went down for a nap so might try to book into see GP tomorrow... Perhaps I will go join my little early-riser in having a nap! lol
Hello everyone. I'm a new mum I have a 4 month old little girl and I'm new on the coast and don't have many friends anyone who wants to chat go ahead !
Raffy! My toe was incredibly painful for a few days, but thankfully wasn't infected! Phew! How you feeling lovely? Not long to go at all now and you'll be a Mummy to a newborn again! I can't wait to be UTD again and to feel the kicks and movements and to have a belly, but at the same time am making the most of all the sleep I can get! hehe
Oh don't wish that upon yourself hahaha I currently have feet under my ribs and it's making sitting comfortably very much impossible lol who knows you could be UTD right now I have everything crossed that both you and jacqui get your bfps this month. I will definately be stalking for some news I only have 5 weeks to go until I'm due I'm praying to whoever will listen that I go early but because I want to be home and settled in time for Christmas with ALL my boys gonna start trying to get him out next week, I started at like 39 weeks with Cooper and he was two weeks late still haha so maybe if it takes three weeks to induce labour naturally for me and I start next week he'll be here a week before Christmas haha. Ohh I have some info for you to, It was recommended by my mw that I try perineal massage to reduce the risk of tearing. I no your worried about the same thing and you have at least 9 months to really be worried but google it! Can't hurt to have some info early
Haha yeah i can imagine that having feet stuck under your ribs must be uncomfy. I'm hoping that I'm lucky with my next bub like I was with Noah and that he/she never gets that high up to actually feel it hurt in your ribs. I carried Noah low my entire pregnancy so hoping for the same again. I also LOVED being pregnant last time (dispite the horrible morning......no wait, all day sickness and some other aches and pains here or there) but still LOVED being pregnant and hoping that I LOVE it next time around too, especially as it is most likely going to be my last bub next bub... I hope your'e right and that i'm UTD (just don't know it yet)....but don't have any gut feelings about being UTD....so we'll see. I too hope that both Jacqui and I get our BFP's this month. Would be soooooooo awesome to be belly buddies again! Thanks for the info on the perineal massage, will definitely do that. I'd hate to have another tear (even though mine was only a 2nd degree tear compared to your 3rd degree tear) and have it muck up with scar tissue and having to have it fixed again afterwards.....
I hope that this bub comes earlier for you than Coops did and that you get to have ALL your boys home with you for Christmas. If it does happen early and I don't get the chance to say, I hope it all goes well hun!
Reply With QuoteAt least I get my BB addiction controlled when I post in the TTC thread! lol
definitely gunna have fun with the girls when he is older.
clover, happy birthday to the other 10.10.10 baby! Hope summer enjoyed her day xx
