Ok so us Aug Mums haven't been very good at posting in the other section but our babies are the next to become toddlers!!! Wow how time flies! So let's take the lead from the July Mums and start posting about what our clever little poppets are up to :)

Maybe this can be made into a sticky??

I'll start us off. My girl has started walking holding only one hand so it's probably a matter of days / weeks until she walks independently. She has decided to skip crawling for now but we'll do games and activities to make up for it later. She is finally starting to settle and seems to grizzle less the more she walks. She is growing well but still doesn't eat much and certainly doesn't like textures or finger foods. Sleep is going really well, we are really blessed in that regard. She says several words and her favourite game is to run full speed ahead into Mummy and say "boof" on impact! Her Daddy taught her that trick. Hard to believe she's almost 1 though!

oh know I think it is kinda sad that we have made in to toddler already.  As for my little boy apart form being not well for quite sometime he is doing good not really into walking as yet find's crawling faster.  We are in the middle of popping those big back mollar's poor wee man is having a hard time with it.    He is a happy wee boy who loves his  food.    He can say up.  which is very cute.  He can also say dadda.  Well he is trying to play with the computer so better go.  I must admit i am a little sad we are here already.

We have a very picky eater here. She won't eat any finger foods except toast and bikkies. I tried making her some mini muffins as I thought they'd be healthier than biscuits but nope, straight on the floor. She knows what to do with finger food but if she doesn't like the feel of it (e.g. fruit, veg, meat, cheese) she simply throws it without even tasting it. If I try to put it in her mouth she gets mad. I still puree everything but try to sneak in soft chunks every meal.

Elle is still breastfed but I'm thinking of starting to wean but am not too sure how to go about it and what formula to use. She won't really drink water or juice. She prefers a bottle but will drink from a sippy cup but still hasn't learnt to tip it so I always have to hold it for her.

Awwww, our babies are not babies anymore!
I can't believe nearly a whole year has passed since we were queuing up to have our little ones, it just doesn't seem that long!

Lovely pics Rach, Kayla looks like such a happy wee girl!
You and Deb must have had a fantastic time catching up in person. Jealous!!

Kel its great to hear how well Blake is doing now! Mothercraft sounds like a fantastic place. I wish there was something like that here in Auckland, it would have made things so much better for me 5 months ago!

Good to see you too Chonni! Are you trying again? Woohoo, more babies!

Benjy is doing wonderfully. He got up and walked about a month ago and is now running everywhere.
He has 3 teeth and is slowly working on his 4th.
He eats like a horse, probably more than Ella does actually, and has weaned himself down to just 1 breastfeed a day. (Bit sad about that, but I'm glad we've managed to do it for this long!)
He is a gorgeous placid little guy. Just sits back and takes everything in, doesn't really make much of a fuss about things unless he wants food, or he's got himself stuck somewhere or Ella is hurting him.
He's also very determined, when he wants something he will try and try and try until he gets it. Very much like his Daddy I think!
Oh and he is mostly sleeping through the night too, WOOHOO!
Hope all you other Mummies are well, ((((HUGS)))) to you and your bubbies!

happy birthday benjy

argh! we are into our bubba's birthday month now oh my goodness i dont realise how much of a sook i am sometimes. i just read back on our august babies thread, brought me happy/sad tears. great memory of those early days with our babes. oh my gosh i soooooooooooooo want another!!! lol. i miss the tiny little newborn, miss the new smell (k still has hwer smell but its ot as fresh!!) miss the cute little cry... ok i dont miss the sore nipples and the constant waking, but it is all so special. i have 2 close cousins due to have babies this month and it just brings back how i was this time last year.

kayla has cut her 3rd tooth, a big top front one and it was awful, poor thing. hopefully she'll be sleeping better again soon.
having her party on sunday with family and friends. will do something special just with my family on her actual birthday.

sooooooooooooo emotional. i dont remember feeling so sad when my others were turning one, well i was with emma but it was for different reason, my grandma got very sick just before emmas 1st birthday and i was in wellington with my mum while em was celebrating with her dadddy.

ok i'm just sitting here yapping away, must sign off

take care everyone,
-rach and kayla xxoo-

Well, we really unsettled at the moment. Not sure what's going on, but goes to sleep in evening then wakes an hour later and screams for an hour. Any ideas?

Well we have split our boy's up to try to keep Alan in his bedroon longer in the morning's.  we have set all his toy's and puzzles up he was so cute last night playing instead of going to bed.  Porr Mikey on the other hand took ages to settle I think he missed his big brother.  As for us we have 11 teeth and i think number 12 is about to arrive.  I so know what you mean Rach about wanting another bubba.  we are taking a break however nedd to sort a few thing's out first.

well better go Alan want's to have some breaky  Chat later.

Morning Everyone,

Chonny I'd love to meet up sometime! Would be great to get our boys together!

I can't believe he is one already! Time just goes so fast.
I can't stop hugging him and remembering the day he was born. He might well be my last baby, so its very emotional for me.
At the same time, I am so excited about the person he is becoming. He is very adventurous now. He's learned how to push one of Ella's little chairs up to things and climbs on it to get up. Couches, coffee table, piano.. so scary!
He also LOOOOOVES switches. Such a little dangermouse!
I'd better stop rambling on, heaps to do today!

Hugs to you all,

Mel

I Know what you mean about giving lots of cuddles mel. I can't stop hugging vincent and telling him i lvoe him. Deb, hope things ok. We not actively trying at the moment. I haev joined an extreme trampoline class to try and get fit. But as soon as i get pregnant i will have to stop. Not allowed to bounce while pregnant apparently. But it's heaps of fun, so i'm not kind of pushing things, plus marriage not the best so i'm a bit scared to throw another baby into the mix.

Well, probably tmi but oh well.

Have a great day ladies,

Chonny

Screaming one hour into night sleep sounds like night terrors...is he going to be a bit overtired?

We are very unsettled here too...LOOOOOTS of crying going on. We cut a top tooth yesterday though so perhap that has something to do with it

deb- me and carlo are going to not try for another baby, we have decided... as in not "plan" for a baby but we wont do much to prevent it either. but if we do plan another i think i will wait till novemberish, i really want to drop a whole heap of weight, starting to feel real down about myself so want to do everything i can to make myself happy first, and would pefer not to have a baby in the cold of winter, i liked august (kayla)and october (jade) so if i started trying november again it would be those months..

Kayla is so clingy, still having problems with her at night, she wakes and will only settle when she gets in bed with me, and sometimes then she will stop screaming the house down but thinks its playtime and crawls all around the bed. i want to break that habbit as fast as i can- jade STILL gets in to bed with me and she turns 5 in less than 2 months. she went through a good patch when she would only come in as it was morning and has slowly got back into 12 or 1am... and it drives me insane!! i know its my fault for allowing her to sleep with me back in the day when carlo did 1am starts and i HATED being alone, and he still does early's so i find it yuck dealing with screaming kids alone at night and prefer just to keep peace and let them stay... vicious cycle, but i do have to bve strong cause its affecting my sleep, i dont sleep much at night.

k- i really could chat all morning but i gotta get my girls ready for the day...

hope you all have great days,
rach

Morning Ladies,
I used to bring Vincent in with me in the morning if he woke about 6am, but soon discovered he just wanted to play too. SO now have decided will get up and feed him, then i get to at least go back to bed for a bit.

Sprained my ankle last night and on crutches for the next couple of days so life is oging to be fun. Vincent still asleep in bed which is great as had a rough night again alst night.

Enjoy your days ladies,

Chonny

p.s Happy birthday to all those over the next few days
