Aroha- Aw wow thats good hes still having two sleeps. Damon is one one that has been 12.30-1.30pm so not long enough lol but atleast it gets him over the day. Damon loves playcentre and its a fantastic thing for them but maybe you could wait till you don't have the little monster having his morning nap. Atleast he has plenty of time yet to get there when the time suits you better!
Love how they smile when they are not doing what they are ment too! Drives me up the wall somtimes.
So im going back to work mon-fri 2pm-6pm is going to be a change as ive got used to being home and im going back to hard work lol ahhhh! Mum is going to go home early from the office and watch Damon and get him all organized for bed.

Hi everyone, sorry have been pretty slack lately!
Emmett is doing well, he's babbling a whole heap more and pointing at EVERYTHING (including my eye which I must say hurts A LOT) he is such a cuddly little thing and my parents have nicknamed him Koala Baby since once he's up in your arms you can't put him down, if you try to he clings on for dear life. Does anyone else LOs rock? Emmett rocks to soothe himself which I'm told is totally normally, just wondering if he's a lone rocker :p

Haha I have not heard of rocking before and Damon does not do it but I can see why they would as a cosy thing.

Oh I have been neglecting this page! Yay Aroha, hope you get to come. I agree its so nice to meet the person behind the screen. I bet Zac and PT would get on well too
Nadia we are on one day nap here too, its good and its not. Its in the middle of the day so if I want him to have a good nap I really have to be home for it. He will sleep in the pram/car but its much shorter.. Pain in the bum!
We still have a wobbly close to walking baby. He is walking more steps each day so hoping he will be full time walking soon! Sooo close.
Aw M2O so sweet that Emmett rocks, we don't have that here but Zac loves being rocked to sleep.

Aw Panda tantrums already! Emmett doesn't throw tantrums but he is VERY VERY mischievous. I think the bigger he gets the naughtier he will be. Everyone who meets Emmett instantly tells me he has "Naughty written all over him" which I'm sad to say he does! Oliver at this age was as sweet as sugar.

Oh yes they suck! When I say No Zac falls dramatically on the ground crying lol. It is kind of cute but also embarrassing in public! At home I just ignore them. Its relatively new so trying to stop him doing them by praising him when he listens to me because sometimes (not often though) if I say No he will stop and back away from what he is doing. Hope it works!
Oh dear hope Emmett doesn't get naughty for you! I guess it is a bit of luck as to what personality type you get for your baby?! At least I hope so because I can't think of anything we have done to make our baby act like he sometimes does..

Sophie has been throwing tantrums for awhile. For the most part we try ignore them. She also gets very jealous when 1 of her brothers is giving me a cuddle or sitting on my knee.
She has stopped liking her cot- does anybody else have this problem? She will go to sleep on our bed and I transfer her to the cot but when she wakes up in there all hell breaks loose. Its not great that I have to stay with her now while she falls asleep- cant really leave the boys alone for too long without them destroying the house

Damon loves to pull a tantrums hes been doing then for awhile now also.
Panda- Damons one nap is also right in the middle of the day around 12.30-1ish so it can be a pain in the bum but its usaly only a hour as it is. If we are out in the buggy or car it will only be 30min
Damon has no problem with his cot yet thankgoodness if he didn't sleep it would drive me nutts!
Since I will be going back to work in a weeks time Mon-Fri 2pm-6pm im going to be alot more tierd lol so he needs to be sleeping!

Hi all,
Hi QueenBee! How rude of me not to say hello before!
Emmett has no cot problems, but I'm probably considered to be quite mean when it comes to sleeping. My family is constantly telling me I'm too harsh lol. Neither of my boys have EVER slept in my bed. I will not allow it. If Oliver (my eldest) is unwell he is welcome to watch TV in my bed during the day but his bedtime routine stays the same and he sleeps in his own bed. It's been that way since he was born and Emmett gets the same deal. My kids are amazing sleepers. Both boys are in bed at 6 and up between half six and half seven. Emmett still has two sleeps a day averaging about an hour and a half to two hours. I don't know if this is because I am very strict with sleeps or because they're lazy :)

M2O - man I wish I had your little sleepers. PT is generally good (although putting up a good fight at the moment) but is an early riser so wakes around 5.30 (sometimes earlier) but we leave him in his own cot till 6 then get up, oh how I wish he would sleep longer but it is better than being awake at 3am for about an hour, which has only just recently stopped so baby steps!
And tantrums yep PT has started them already as well, very funny but not cool either. Although it must be very frustrating for them not being able to do what they want to do.

m2o-Im the same with no letting Damon sleep in our bed! He has never been aloud to sleep in our bed and im not starting as he would think he can every night! He is a good sleeper at night but hardly has a day nap.

Yep I so know what you mean - we went to DH's mothers place yesterday for a change of scene, which was great and today we had a friend come to visit for an hour or so which is good and I have just walked him to sleep for fingers crossed he will remain a happy boy!
It is meant to be clearing on Monday.... something (hopefully) to look forward to.

Hey
Yes we have been very busy lately! We finally have a fulltime walker!! Its been about a week and a half now? So cute to watch but he is stubborn. Walking him to the fruit shop (a few houses down) and he refuses to hold my hand.. guess the independence is starting!
Sick of winter too though admittedly it has probably been warmer here than where you guys are and I feel it is warming up a bit? Hope so because I love spring/summer

Haha Damon will not hold my hand either! He can now stand up and walk along without having to get up on anything.
His cold is getting better which is good and I had my first afternoon back out work cleaning so Damon went to mums and he was very happy so thats good.

Wow, it's been forever since I was in here! Hi everyone! Good to see the little ones doing so well. Madeline still has a morning nap and an afternoon nap Nadia, Have been to play centre a few times but it really is a nightmare and think I will leave it for another term when she is older!
