March and Feb 07 Kidz

hahahahahahahahahahaaahhahahahahahahahahahahaha!

LOL funnily enough and i wasnt going to post but seeing you did - Ella and daddy were in shower the other morning and i heard a sharp intake of breath....turns out he had her on floor of shower and she grabbed hold to steady herself....he still looked in shock and did not know what to do or say really....LOL!!! I had to juu shut shower door and walk away - oh ok not before saying something about wasnt much to grab if all shrivelled up in shower anyways....LOL!!!

ok so i am officially ttalking to myself now LOL!!!

well ella took grannie shopping today...no wonder we need a BIGGER house....they bought a table and chairs for the playhouse, a tea set, and - and now this is random and a total grannie thing - a toboggan! yep apparently they had two left and had them half price today - so for $20 she has a huge moulded plastic tobaggan ready to take to the snow that we were thinking about doing...now we have to cause she has a toboggan!!!

We also got the quad bike going - was the fuse...we bought a new battery but then worked out the fuse had gone - and there was a spare in there too...and it goes perfect now! so all up total cost (with battery) $26!!!

BS you're not talking to yourself, im always around ...lurking here and there!

Sounds like the quad bike was meant to be, turned into a real bargain! Does Ella know how to use it properly?

As most of you have probably read in general forum, my lil man took his first proper steps unaided today, was wonderful. I'm still very excited about it all, hes taking anywhere from 4-8 steps at a time, some more steady than others ...but hey its a start! He's so gorgeous, he puts his arms out and comes over to give me a big hug! LOVE IT!

Bursting with pride right now! LOL - can ya tell?

Good luck with Alyssa's first DC visit tomorrow Shaz, I'm sure it will all turn out fine, will be thinking of you both!

And BS at the risk of sounding totally ignorant, could you please elaborate on what a 'toboggan' is?

Lucas' Bday went well, the walking the next day kind of topped it off! Minor glitch with the cake, thermostat on our oven has gone kaput so cake burnt & Nana had to jump in and make one ...we iced and decorated it up (nothing too extravagant) tonight and lit the candles/sang happy birthday etc etc. Lucas surprisingly wasn't hungry for cake though, so will offer it to him again tomorrow!

He's being such a good little boy, he fell asleep basically straight after his bath tonight, no breast needed! (I think stimulating him heaps and being on the floor 24/7 is working wonders in that respect) ...and he's also started saying 'nana' and picking up his toy phones & putting them to his ear (has a dial phone, and a playskool mobile phone) and will keep saying 'huh?' until the lil recorded voice on it speaks back to him ...he gets louder and louder with it, and if it doesnt reply he throws it on the ground LOL!

Really having the time of my life atm, children are so amazing, the things they pick up ...like little sponges taking everything in! He even knows how to match a couple of the pieces of his peg puzzle to the board in the correct spaces woohoo!

Enough bragging, im on a 'high' as they say, now fingers crossed he has a good night re: sleeping! Last night 6 hours straight before waking for a feed, was fantastic!

Hope everyone had as much of a lovely easter as what we did, and that you all have a nice week back at work/ with your child/ren! lol (bit of a mouthful there)

Argh writing an essay! Nighty night

m2l - brag away!!!! glad his day went so well

SHAZ = big hug!!!!

ster - why u still up????

Go Lucas and Sam, it's so cute when they start walking. Such a crack up and hard to get the silly grin of your face. I love hearing all the proud Mummy moments I sit here smiling too. DH thinks I'm mad.
Can't stop miss Alyssa now and she hates her pram I can't take her out of it when we go shopping or I get tantrums trying to put her back in. But it's just too hard to chase her at the mall she is into everything unless the big girls are with me.

They are at such a cool age aren't they always doing really cute stuff. Alyssa likes to play act at the moment. She grabs a little bag and walks off to the gate saying tata and waving soooo gorgeous. And she also loves the playskool cell phone she says hi or hello and then brings it to us to talk and says tata when she gets it back. I'm so going to hate being away from her I just love playing with her and watching her soak up everything.
She had a good visit at daycare she was happy to potter around with the other kids and teachers, she didn't cling to me thank god but wouldn't eat at morning tea. Oh well the teacher said if they do that they will wait a little while then offer them something else. Monday will be hard leaving her but I think Wednesday will be the worst as it will be the second time and she will know whats happening. Then I have to try and drive to work. I will have to toughen up I nearly cried today just thinking about it. Silly really when I've done it all twice before. But that was so so long ago.

Alyssa loves our stairs too she goes down on her bottom slipping from one step to the next but I still have to be close as it always looks like she's going to topple over face first. She won't turn around either. I'm sure when we moved in here Alex used to go down on her tummy facing up. Oh well they all have their own way of doing things it's just a little scary for Mummy to watch especially as there are tiles over concrete at the bottom of the stairs. Up is ok as she just clambers up them, not that I let her do that by herself either but it isn't as scary looking.
My Mum lives down stairs so the temptation to go down there is very strong as Mum always puts on Uncle Jays CD and they dance to it. So far we have caught her every time one of the kids has forgotten to shut the gate (touch wood). When we do go down Alyssa goes straight up to the CD player and demands it be turned on.... and of course Nana does as she is told.

Hi guys, long time no write! I have been flat out with work and stuff and while I try and jump on here I don't really have time to write. So things in our life...

Jack is doing really well, still just walking around furniture, but isn't far off walking. He is such a delight, though has come to know his own mind now which can be frustrating when he believes he isn't tired and we know he is!

Other things are good, work as I said is really busy and if I didn't know things were changing soon I would consider handing my notice in. M is doing well as well and we had the chat about number 2 in the weekend, though think it will still be a wee way off yet! (am certain that we can't get another this good!)

Hope you girls are well
Take care

We are having sleep issues here. He cried to sleep this morning but went off fine this afternoon and slep for almost 3 hours . then put him to bed a little later tonight (as we had a late dinner homekill roast mutton - yummy) and he went to sleep straight away weird child. I can bet on him going back to normal as soon as DH leaves tomorrow.

was funny tonight...daddy is outta town (again) and he video called me...i forgot we even did this as been so long...well ella thought it was hysterical that daddy was in the phone...LOL!!! she wasnt quite sure about it...but knew it was daddy for sure...LOL

ok so question time...im trying to drop ella back to three bottles...gave up on stage three...she now hates it...so do a milkshake in sippy in morn - no worries there....then there are 3 bottles for the day - works fine on weekends eg @10am, 2pm and before bed (7pm)..but DC days...OMFG @10am, @2pm and then between 4 and 5pm.....im thinking of sending only two bottles and demanding they do a juice cup cause otherwise i have to do a before bedtime bottle (number 4) too. How are you guys stretching out the 3 bottles now?
