Missy love the pics - especially the one of Liam in the tree!
Tasia - bummer about the lost post....
Quiet in here this morning :tumbleweed:
Got my walk with MG this morning so BBL after that to see if anything is happening
wave to all!
Zee - feel free to give me a call if you need to chat.... or want to chat... or would like to chat.. hehehehe.. that girls weekend sounds great!! Exactly what I need.. And such a clever girl - DS points to things and counts to three - but seems like 3 is the limit.. he will say things like red car... or blue car.. so is starting to know the colours..
The offer of a chat goes for anyone else too!! I'm always up for a chat
Tan - those pics are so gorgeous mate!!!!! Oooh I'm so jealous!!! And yeah, if it wasn't for the weather I wouldn't mind being down there either - I lived there for about 18 months - but just couldn't hack the 4 seasons in one day thing!!!!! I'm glad Chris has been pulling his finger out and doing more stuff with Ash - thats excellent!!!!
Kristy - yeah DS is stubborn too.. must get it from me I think!!!! I think we are teething the 2 year old molars here - he hasn't woken up in a very good mood today.. just for something different!!!! lol
I really should weigh Miss M - she must be over 6kg now if everyone else's bubba is..
Missy - those pics are sooo cool!!! We really need to take DS to underwater world one day - its just soo expensive....
Pixie chick - have fun walking.. I really should do some.... maybe I should get DH to move down there.. hehehehehehe.. I'm sure I could get a job in a law firm down there..
As for us.. well nothing really happening... DS fell out of bed again last night.. but he goes out feet first so just ends up standing next to the bed, then calls out mummy mummy... but mummy is far too lazy to haul her big fat butt outta bed - so daddy goes in .. and gets a "hellloooo daddy" ... lol... not good at 3.30am!!!!
Little Miss M is still sleeping through, so all is good there. She's such a good girl.
Hmm. another day off today... must think of something to do to entertain the kids.. perhaps I'll go for a walk!!! Nah... maybe not.. maybe I'll just weigh Miss M now... she had a feed about an hour ago, so it shouldn't affect it too much - but her big cloth nappy might!!! LOL
I'll be back with the weigh in amount...
ETA - weighed in at 6.1kg - give or take the amount for the nappy!!! LOL.. so perhaps a smidge under 6kg I would imagine..

Missy - Love the photos sweet! Its so nice when you catch up with old friends. Sounds like you had a great time! How are you doing?
Tasia - How did Jonathan's needles go yesterday?? Have a great day, it's going to be a wonderful one here in Melbourne today hey!
Mel - How funny A falling out of bed feet first lol. It's so nice that your little princess is such a good girl for you, it gives me hope that our second one will be better too. I don't think that Isabel has hit 6kg yet her next apt isn't until 1 Dec so hopefully by then she will be. How is working going???
Kristy - Welcome back sweet! sounds like your boys are growing up quickly which is great!
Well I have MG today and we are going to the park which will be nice, it's going to be hot so will have to dose Izzy up with some sunscream and a hat!! She was a little unsettled yesterday hence me having a really bad day. She didn't sleep much at all during the day and then decided to wake up at 2am wanting a feed which I wasn't happy about. She is currently sleeping so hopefully she will make up all the lack of sleep from yesterday.
A BIG "WAVE" to all that I have missed need to get some housework done while I can. BBL hopefully.
Kristy: Aww poor Isaac! Teething is horrible for them! Great to hear your mum is getting better.
Pix: Most days Ash is in jeans n tshirt but its getting too hot up here now...shorts n singlet tops now or dresses...can't wait for the dresses! Hope you enjoyed your walk!
Kel: I'll have to check out those channels. Thanks re the ticker pic, I love yours too! Keira is so cute!
Everyone who has changed their ticker pics lately...I keep meaning to say how cute they all are but I keep forgetting!
Missy: If I had of known SIL was going to say it I would have had a camera! It was priceless! Love all your pics! I love the one of Liam in the tree too haha
Tasia: Bugger about your long post!
Mel: I have to resize the ones you sent me yet, I am sooo slack!! Might be able to do it tonight if kids co-operate! Bout time with Chris huh? No Mellie slappins needed here now haha. Can't wait til you guys can come up and visit! Poor A falling out of bed! Least he isn't too worried about it haha. I have no idea what Ash weighs...I'd say it would be over 6kgs now.
Mez: Have fun at the park!
That reminds me (thanks Mez) What sunscreen is everyone putting on bubs? Everything I have seen says over 6mths and I asked the CHN who said not to use anything just keep baby out of the sun which is pretty much what I have been doing but that will be hard with a 2yo that loves being outside and esp in the pool
A quick one while I can, though I have the bucket real close..
Kellxx- OMG backwards... thats fantastic.
Missy- DH got them, myer was having 30% off xmas deco's so he went for a look and came home with them.
IVF appointment went well, have another appointment on Monday & have to have ALOT of blood taken (same with DH)
Tania- Im glad you had a great trip and its brought Chris to his senses.
Mary- Have a great day, its so freaking hot here.. how I was just sleeping with a donna on I dont know.
Mel- Yesterday I was sending a txt to my friend and when I was scrolling through my numbers came across yours and thought that I should keep in touch with you more hehehe. Lucas weighed 6.1kgs the other day aswell.
Tasia- Gawd I hate it when that happens Grrr
Anyone wanting to have a look at Laila & Lucas pic with Santa its on my facebook!
Had another lovely day with Julie and Kristy.. kids had a ball as always. Found out in conversation that Julie's and my parents know each other!! What a VERY small world!!!!
Mel.. lol re A "falling" out of bed! Least he lands the right way up!
Tannis.. i just use Jesse's sunscrean which is a purple Pooh Bear roll on one.. brand is Sun Pals. It says on it for Baby and Toddler Sun Protection SPF30+, Fragrance Free Lotion for Delicate Skin. Doesnt say anything about an age limit. Ive used that on Keira and shes been fine with it.
Mez.. hope you had a fun day at mums group!
We're getting pizzzzzzzzzza for dinner yum yum.. cos i cant be stuffed cooking lol. Going to toy sales tomorrow morning to get Jesse a bike from IL's for Christmas. Gonna try and get there super early.. will be fun with 2 kids! lol but we'll do it.. where theres a will theres a way!
Awww well had a great time today with the gang. Talling Kristy, kell and the kids the Gang now...heheh...As Kell said the kids had fun and yes our mums know eachother. They use to play Ten Pin bowling together....lol...How funny and small world is that.
Anastasia dont you hate it when you do a big post and it doesnt work. ggrrrrr
Pix yes love that photo too. Hope your walk was great for you.
Yay on the weight gain Arimeh. LOL at hi daddy...how cute!!
Ayapi yes im doing great thanks hun. How you doing?? Oh I forgot to tell everyone that BIL had his first Cemo on Tuesday and so far he is feeling great. Nothing yet. Sister said they said the third day he will feel it. I hope its not to bad for him. Fingers crossed. Kell said her FIL didnt lose his hair so that would be good if John doesnt as he has the biggest elephant ears....lol...oh im slack.. Hope Izzy is not giving you to much of a hard time hun.
Oh Tannis I use sunscreen on liam. I just got one from the chemist for babies...the only crap thing about it is its a spray one and it goes every where so you have to spray it on your hand...
Oh Zee hope you feel better soon. Not nice. Awwww trust DH to get them...lol.. Oh great on the IVF. Let me know how you go.
No hotdogs kell...hehehe.. pizzzzza better anyways. I had BBQ chick and salad. So nice but love to have had pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza.
Zee: Love the pics of Laila & Lucas! Sooo cute! Jayden has been asking all night to go and see Santa but I know he will hate it when we get there....might try and go this weekend if Santa is around. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Kell: Mmmmm Pizza! We usually get pizza on Tuesday but after the real pizza's we had in Melb it would have been dissapointing to have a pizza hut pizza haha. GL shopping on the 1st day of the toy sale with 2 kids! You're braver than me haha
Missy: Great to hear your BIL is coping ok!
Mez: I might have missed it but how did you go with tweedle (is that it? Sorry I can't remember what it was called).
Thanks for the response re sunscreen, I'll look around tomorrow. The sunscreen I have for Jayden specifically says over 6mths but I'd say thats just because they don't recommend younger babies to be out in the sun or for sensitive skin?? Its impossible for Ashlea to stay out of the sun up here, I might not take her swimming at SIL's house though as the reflection off the water even in the shade would burn her....am I being over paranoid?? CHN told me when Jayden was little that the more they are exposed to the sun under 6mths they had a whatever % (can't remember what she said) chance of developing skin cancer, that scared me too much so I was careful...but he was over 6mths by summer anyway.
Both my naughty children didn't go to bed until nearly 10pm! Ash had a huge 4hr sleep today plus 2 other shorter sleeps so I guess she is excused.....Jayden had 1.5hr sleep today which obviously is enough for him to stay up for 6 more hrs! He's at FDC tomorrow so hopefully he doesn't sleep so he will sleep at night!
Morning all (shhh I'm at work... supposed to be doing a final letter to the client, but hey, this is MUCH more exciting!!)
Tan - its ok - you slacker - hehehe.. just kidding.. take your time - I haven't resized them yet either!!!!!! lol... I can't remember what sun cream I use on the kids - its in a pink bottle..
Zee - they are such cute pics!!!! Hope you are feeling better today mate.
Kel - We got pizza for dinner too last night - whoops - there goes my diet.. haha!!!! Twas nice though.. verrrry nice... HOpe you got everything you wanted at the toy sales and I hope it wasn't too hectic for you!!!!
Missy - thats good that your BIL is feeling well. I think remaining postive is a key factor in how quickly people recover.
Well better get off.. just in case the boss walks into my office!!! teehee!!!!
Well we did it.. got to the shops at 8am to put a Wii on layby for us for christmas & a guitar thing for Julie/Missy at Kmart. lol.. we were the only ones there walking in the door at 8am haha. But made things a hell of a lot easier! Then we went over to Target to get Jesse's bike, which opened at 9am. There was a few people there. Man its funny seeing everyone run in when the doors open haha. I have to laugh.. so funny. We just strolled in.. knowing too well that according to the ACCC guidlines, if they sell out in a specific matter of time, they HAVE to offer you a raincheck or something of similar at the same price.. otherwise its Bait Advertising and they can get in BIG trouble. But we were lucky and got Jesse's little bike. So cute.. hes gonna love it! Its still in the car hiding from him. Cant wait until Christmas day!
Tannis.. lol yeh the things you do hey! I was at Kmart at 4am on the last sale (minus kids of course!). But the good thing about having a pram with kids in it, you can barge the crowd! lol. Yeh i have no idea about the 6 month thing and cancer. We dont have a pool.I guess though if you really want to take her in.. just take her early morning or late afternoon when the UV isnt as bad and lather her up with the sunscreen. Just also then make sure she has a rashy on to cover her chest too and a hat. I always put sunscreen on Keira when we go to the park otherwise her little legs will get burnt as the hood on the stroller only covers her top half. Shes never had any reaction to it.. but do maybe try that one we get that is for babies and toddlers with delicate skin?
Julie/Missy.. no worries re the layby.. yes got PS2! Made sure we double checked. BTW when you go to pick it up, youre gonna need a trolley! cos the box is bloody massive!!!!! pmsl. So yeh make sure you take Mel with you if you have to take the stroller too. Yeh i did buy the hot dogs, but when i got home Grahame said do you wanna get pizza.. and ill never refuse pizza lol.. so we'll have the hot dogs tonight.. mmmmmmmmmmm... Oh btw.. ive added Mylee to my Facebook! Have also added Cheryl... just waiting for her to accept me. Also.. mum said to ask you if you know Judy Lovell & Steve Lovell? Theyre no longer married but mum was good friends with them, still is.. they had a daughter a few months after mum had me and we grew up together.. looked like twins when we were little too.
Okee dokee.. just hung out a load of washing, have another going... gonna be a stinker here today!!
Kell - well done on getting to the shops at 8am today sweet, you did really well. Did you have to wake the little ones??? You put a Wii on layby I'm thinking that I might buy it for my DH too for christmas cause he has been bugging me for ages now..lol
Missy - really good to here are your BIL and his treatment. All good signs thus far hey. I'm doing really well, much better now that I feel almost in control of everything and getting into a routine with little Isabel.
Tannis - Yes sweet it's Tweddle things are going really well Izzy is responding well to the new technique of going to bed and now sleeps 1 - 1 1/2 hours during the day which I'm happy about and sleeps through the night. My next mission is to stop the 10pm feed.
Mel - I wont tell anyone that you were on here instead of writing up a letter hehehe.. we would miss you if you didn't pop in during the day even if you are working
Well I'm just watching my little princess doing a full 360 on her playmat and trying to roll from her back she is nearly there just needs to work out to move the arm and not have it out straight lol. Quick question, the last couple of days I've noticed that her poos are really watery don't know why should I be worried???
A big Hello to Belle, Zee, Pixie, Bear, Feeb, Tasia, SW and anyone else that I may have missed.
Well back from the nurse and will post his results after this. Callum is next door playing with the 4 year old. Quick question, Have met them next door and have had the little boy here, but I dont really know them that much, have spoken to them abit, they have a little girl 15 months or so, seem very nice, but am I or should I be letting him over there by him self. He went there last week and came home crying cause they had to go swimming lessons and he didnt want to go. He just wants to go and play with him. Do you think its ok??
Tannis I wouldnt worry to much about the sunscreen hun. I just use the same one I use on callum. Oh Callum didnt go to sleep till 9.15pm last night. Its been like that for 2 nights now...
Oh yes Arimeh you are so right. You have to be pos++ hun. Ooooo dont get caught hun...hehehe
Oh god love ya kell. thanks so much for that. Oh really. is it that big, well it is the drums and mike as well so we can all jam...hehehe..lol at you lol at everyone else. I can see you know. LOL as your walking to where you needed to go re: that you went yest to see so you could get there with no looking around. Im so happy I got that as you have just saved me $100. They are usually $300 and some thing. I got a bargen. Wooohooo on jes bike too. He will love it. What it look like hun. oh good ill add them when they have added you. Just spoke to mum about the lovells and yes she knows them too. Said he left her for another women and now lives in Melb. Sound about right. Now mum said she knew a Vicki Marler hope thats how you spell it, is that your mothers maiden name. Geee small world.

YAY on little izzy doing 360's...hehehe love watching liam doing that..does she push her bum up and push back on her legs too and move that way..oh liam does and its so funny to look at. I know its pretty go so far with BIL.
Missy - yay on Liam's stats that is just wonderful, he is going great guns.
Oh yes Izzy is pushing herself on her back with her legs apparently I did it alot when I was little too and had a bald patch cause of it lol... I love watching her it's so cool.
Im so proud.. i can put jesse in his big bed now without me having the lay beside him. I can just leave the room and he falls asleep on his own. This is just a BIG step for us.
Mez.. no i was actually lucky Jesse woke up about 6.10am so he got up then we had a look in and Keira was awake at 6.30am.. so worked out really well. Oh good idea.. well Kmart have the best deal going so far.. $384 for the wii and 3 games. Everywhere else is $388 for the Wii and 2 games. I want to get the Wii fit sometime too.. so will just keep an eye out on which will be the cheapest around. Oh what a clever monkey!! You watch that girl.. shes gonna be crawling in no time!! Then the child proofing fun begins! Even though our house is baby proofed for Jesse, its Jesse's toys i now have to worry about. Mez oh you shoulda seen Jesse's bald patch! He lost his hair on top, minus a strip down the middle (looked like a moe hawk).. then he had a bald patch at the back in the middle and a line of bald patch where he would turn his head on the bed or floor or whatever. Was quite funny. I think once he started sitting up it went. Keira has one at the back atm too.
Julie.. haha re Liam yelling hahaa.. my daughter already has a bad influence on your son pmsl! They are so alike with their smiling though hey! Both love the attention.. hopefully theyll be able to soon amuse each other lol . Oh keep em small! Least that way his clothes will get more wear. It is so crazy what a small world it is. Yeh i couldnt even tell you who mum use to bowl for in Pennants back then.. i think even it may have been Rockdale.. even though we werent from around that area.. very cool though we've both found Mylee! Lol yes its HUGE! haha.. well pretty big anyways.. lucky you have a pretty big car! Wouldnt fit in my commodore unless it was on the back seat. Jesse's bike is a 3 wheeler Radio Flyer. Has a basket thing on the back, where i thought he could put his cars or something.
