Clare, nooooo not toddlers!!

Leo is getting into EVERYTHING at the moment, little toerag lol!!  He esp LOVES big brothers stuff, and will crawl like lightning towards the cat or the dogHas had several run ins with the cat now lol.

We will be doing a small(ish) family thing as well for Leos bday.  I have NO idea what to get him though, the only thing I could think of was some leap frog magnets for the fridge as he loves pulling the magnets on and off, cheap entertainment I guess!!

Hope everyone is well!!

Morning All

Sorry im a slacker to. Been so much going on lately.

Madison is doing so well and is saying heaps of words (sounds of them anyway) all she does is yabba lol She does love her books and willl sit on my knee for ages just listerning. She has learnt how to stand on her own and if i call her towards me she will try and walk but falls into my arms its so cute.  Shes now only eating finger food as she doesn't like me feeding her any more. She so has a mind of her own now and is such a daddys girl she crys when he leaves in the morning and at night gets so exticed when she hears his work van come up the drive. She still adores her brother but has got into the habit of pinceing him to get his attention but only when im out of the room!! she has 4 top teeth and 4 bottom now.

Pregancy going fine haven't had much time to think about it lately but we finely have our house back  so now i get get the babys room ready .

Well better go kalems home with a tummy bug he been up spewing his little guts out since 2am poor thing. I so hope we all don't get it.

Happy 11 months to my gorgey bubba!! and we have big brothers birthday tomorrow!!

Leo is celebrating by taking a nap lol!!

lol Sara now I feel special!!

YAY for 1st birthdays!!  Not sure what we are doing here yet?  Will get the 6 yr old birthday done and then think about it.  Poor Olivia with an ear infection, that is sucky! Doesnt take long for them to get back to their gorgeous happy selves though does it!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont take away our thread!!!

HAPPY 10 months Olivia

HI everyone!!!

Where are we all hiding???

lol Sara, whenever DH pictures 3 boys in the house for some reason he doesnt want any more?!?

Clare hope things settle down for ya soon, nothing wrong with a drinky or 2!!

What are the rest of our lovely bubbas doing??

What a bunch of slackers we are!!!

My baby is 10 months old!! And in one month I will have a 6 year old!!

Man I feel OLD!!

what cutie  Make a spunky husband for maddy But if she is anything like she is now (Strong minded) she will not be leting her mother pick her husbands lol

Nothing wrong with dummys if they make them sleep well thats all that matters

and 2 more.............just because he is so blimmen adorable!!

muuuuuuuuumm.......whats with the mohawk?

CHEESE!!

ok heres the pic of my wee nutter lol!!

Hey all!!

Leo wouldnt take a dummy when he was a screaming newborn but a few weeks back while helping me in the kitchen he found a medicine dropper in his pile from the drawer I gave him to play with.  You know, with the soft top?  He got SUCH joy out of sucking on it lol, I'll try to find the pic it looked hilarious!  Anyway just out of interest I found the one dummy I had in the house which was a newborn one and he fell in love with it!! It seems to give him such comfort when he is teething which is great but I am in 2 minds about it.  It is only for bedtime and is a HELL of a lot easier to get him back to sleep if he wakes in the night.  So in short if it makes my life easier and makes him happy I guess I have answered my own question LOL!!!

Hope you are all FANTASTIC!!

madison has a dummy but only at bedtime ( i swear by them at sleep time as both mine have slept all night from 8 weeks) and madison has 4 bottles a day which is 800mls. Does leo have a dummy?

YES Ellen Leo does do that!!! Zayne is sooo good at giving him things, he even checks for small parts that Leo could swallow Am trying to teach him though that he doesnt have to give him everything everytime he is playing As LEo has figured if he squeals enough Zayne will give it to him!! OMG look at Madisons hair, gorgeous!!! I am hoping in about 6 months we will start trying, I'll keep you updated!!

OK question time!!

Do you bubbas have a dummy?

How much formula do they drink (approx) a day now??

Madison had plunket yesterday and she now weighs 10.2kg and is 73cm in length and head circ is 46.5cm she is very happy with her and shes drinking and eating right which makes me feel better as im sick of people going what are you feeding her?!?

Madison new game is "TA" and she loves to play it with me and kalem. Madison had her first full on tanturm yesterday when kalem was eating his tea she wanted him and it didn't matter what you done she was going to get to him lol so i ended uo taking her outside for time out lol. Char do you find leo wants everything Zanye has at the moment? Madison sure does poor kalem has to go to his room sometimes which he doesn't mind most of the time to play with his mables etc and than she will find him and grizzle to try and get in.

Char hows talking your hubby around coming on?

Do you gos find now your little ones are moving when they are home it doesn't matter how many toys they have they go for things they are not alwood to have?

Cool i will have a look for some on trade me as now maddys crawling she is geting red knees and will be good whens shes outside on the grass. She has pretty big legs will they be ok do you think?

No morning sickness have never had it but been quite tired in the afternoon and my face has come out in acne abit always happens when im pregnant. I thought you were surpose to glow. Now i have to tell the in laws (well aaron does) and my brothers

My little darling decided 5 would be a good time to wake this morning, am considering sending him to baby reform school! Of course he is now back in bed sleeping like an angel!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Well done Clare sounds like Joshie is doing brilliantly!!  And no one can accuse you of starving him lol!! Perhaps he could share his crawling tips with my lazy bum lol!!

OMG it is cooking here already and its not even 9am!!

Would love to see some pics of the rest of our little angels!

a

Leo in his trial Fuzzibunz!

first taste of chocolate icecream!

Cindy!! What a day!!  What a horrible fright you must have gotten, so glad wee Spencer was ok!!  And I hope Kaylin has stopped picking his face!

Hope everyone is having a lovely wednesday!!

Happy 9 month birthday to my bubba!!!

Hope you are all staying out of the sun today, it is seriously cooking here!!  We are off to the pool as soon as Leo wakes up!

Morning!!

Peace, dont want to think about toddlers lol!!! Sorry to hear you have had the dreaded bugs, it was so horrible when we all had it here, glad you and Olivia are feeling better at least!  The sun is shining here, might get another swim in today I think!

My Leo is sooooo frustrated at not getting anywhere lol the poor baby is still at that frustrating stage of going backwards!!  He needs to use his knees a bit more and he will be off, but hasnt *quite* figured it out yet!  He also wants to stand up  on everything but doesnt want to hold on!  The side of the bath is his favourite!  He is becoming quite the independent little sausage, he quite often pushes my hands away when I am holding him lol!

Clare, hope you behaved yourself at the BDO!!! I am *trying* to get organised for next weekend, do you have any plans??

Right better go get sunblocked up and organised, have an awesome weekend everyone!!!

Morning!!!

Wasnt it HOT yesterday!!! It was so muggy and disgusting last night and we cant leave doors or windows open as our demented cat walks around the house meowing all night lol!

YAY for 8 months Peace!!  I hear ya on the precocious(ness), Leo was growling at me this morning and I thought how funny that they have such strong little personalities at such a young age!  I had an epidural with Zayne and it was bliss.........only had the gas with Leo and that was bliss too but in a totally different way lol!!  Olivia sounds like she could take my boy on too, well done, what a great growth spurt!!!

Not much on here today, groceries maybe, have a funeral to go to tomorrow so am trying to organise something for Zayne as it wont be much fun for him, Leo will just have to do as he is told lol!

Have a great week everyone!!!

hey char is there a 8 month check with plunket?

lol Clare at Joshie, that would have been funny! I am having heaps of fun with leo at the moment feeding him, and seeing what he likes and dislikes, which isnt much so far!!  Z has always been such a picky eater!  Over the last few days new foods he has tried - cheese, big peoples yoghurt, rice, kiwifruit, boiled potato (LOVED mushing this!!), raspberries, weetbix  and yesterday I gave him a couple of egg yolks and he had great fun with those!

HI Hails and welcome!! How did you get on at plunket?  Leo stands for a little while, his favourite is holding onto the side of the bath! He is nowhere near pulling up to stand or anything like that, sounds like your wee girl is doing fine!

Right where are the rest of you...........

HI hails madison was born the same day as your little one
