April/ May 07 Toddlers

Jess I was thinking about you today. I have my fingers crossed for you   I can totally understand your thinking - before Sam we had a couple of miscarriages in a row plus it took us 5 years to get her. She was our last try because I simply could not handle losing another one.
Funny how now that is all behind us and I have Samantha, that I would happily do it again though

That is really cute about all the barbie dolls. LIke you said though, girls are fun and you might as well enjoy it while you can - before they all start demanding certain things anyway

Is it just me that thinks this is the coolest age?

I just enjoy being with Samantha so much now! She is so cool - and now that she feels she can communicate (god only knows what she is saying ) is just so chatty and animated. She cracks me up at least a dozen times a day,and I find myself more and more in awe of her!   Being a Mommy rocks!!!

hey
im Laura and mum to Quinn who was born May16th
he is such an amazing wee boy who has about 200 words and is saying 4 word sentences.
he has 8 teeth and has just figured out how to jump.
we have been ttc#2 for over a year now and have finished 3mths of clomid and have just started acupuncture to hopefully help.
we are from chch

Hi Laura and welcome to our little thread. Quinn sounds so cute I am very impressed with all the words! I think I have speech envy

All is good here. Samantha is definitley talking more although we still can't understand a lot of it. I am pleased to announce we are getting words now though - yesterdays new one is 'cracker'. I feel like this whole surgery thing has delayed her speech so much especially considering she was talking really early before the ear problems started! I feel a bit ripped off to be honest!

I got hairties to stay in her hair yesterday and she was walking around with two little pigtails! It was gorgeous! I will post a photo of it when I get the chance. She is looking like a real little girl now. It is so weird they are growing up way too fast! Especially since we are now fast approaching a 2nd birthday!   I'm still not sure how that happened!

We are moving house in 3 weeks! Still staying in the same area (about 1 km away) but it is much nicer and the house is gorgeous! I can't wait to get out of here! I am over the neighbours dogs barking and the kids playing in the private lane outside Sam's room at night! I am looking forward to an extra bedroom (Sam is getting a playroom) and having a gorgeous kitchen!   I am not looking forward to the packing and moving bit

I hope everyone else is well

Good to hear from you Kayla, glad to hear Jordan is a cute and happy wee man despite everything that he is going through. Big Hugs, that must be such a hard thing to deal with for your family.

We have been a bit slack due to circumstances and me feeling horrid all the time, now to top it off I have a very inflammed throat which makes swallowing difficult.

I cant believe our babies will be 2 this year, where did the time go?

That is one thing i hate doing is moving..... We moved into our current house when Jordy was a week old. We moved all by ourselves and i had had a c section.
3 out of 5 in our family have shocking headcolds it sucks. Especially since Jordy doesn't know why he is feeling like crap.

Well I have bought myself 5 minutes by putting on 'the night garden' so will do a quick post in here.

Yay, only 8 more sleeps to go until moving day   We are fairly organised which is good. It's just annoying now though because the new house is empty and we drive past longingly gazing at it   We both just want to go now!    Plus we had another look around and found out the new place has a central vacum system and heated floors so I am extra keen now
I think this move is still going to be easier than the last one at 32 weeks pregnant that's for sure!!!

Julie, how you doing? Still sick with this pregnancy? I can only imagine! It's something I don't think you can forget

Sorry to hear everybody has been sick in the Kaylabumbis house. I hope everyone is feeling better now. It really sucks with the littlies being sick doesn't it. They don't understand why they feel so rotten

Hi all. I hope everyone is going well.

We have moved and settled in to our new house - which is just wonderul. We absolutely love it

The only down side is that we can't get broadband internet so I have not been on here often. I can't believe I forgot how slow Dial up is!!! Ugh

Sam is doing really well. She settled into our new house like a real star. No problems at all and is loving her new bigger room and her seperate playroom
Her speech has really taken off recently and she is becoming a real character (if not a bit of a spoilt princess ). She has also shot up in height and is now finally fitting her size 1 clothes

Anyway, just a quick one for me today, but I hope that everyone else is doing well and is happy and well

I just thought I would say 'hi', I am mummy to Micah who was born 3 april, as you were all saying earlier, where on earth has 2 years gone, it seems no time at all that I found out that i was pregnant with him!!!

Micah isnt talking too much (well not that other people can understand) but is trying now, (especially for anything with wheels!!!). Are your kids talking so that others can easily understand all their words??

Anyway have a nice day everyone....

Hi Rosie, welcome to our poor neglected part of the board.

Caleb seems to say a lot but sometimes the words are very similar sounding and hard for others to understand what he is saying, although it is starting to get a lot clearer. I am expecting him to randomly turn out full sentences at some stage soon with no warning

Trains are a big hit here too. From the second we get up in the morning all we want is to watch the "trains" he has got addicted to the new show "Chugingtons" on TV2 in the morning and it only lasts 10 mins. Then he just wants to watch trains all day. I might have to investigate whether there are dvd's.

I am in denial, I have decided that it is not nearly April, my baby is not turning 2 and I dont have only 20 weeks to get a whole bunch of stuff sorted out.

Welcome to Rosie and Shazza, we don't post much in this thread. Happy Birthday for the babies who have turned two. It has gone so fast!

I have over a month to go before mine turns two though. :D

Sam is talking heaps and will say things like "Mama go outside too" and "Wheres nana gone?" So is just starting to get into saying a few little sentences.

He isn't feeling well at the moment and spent most of today alternating between screaming and grizzling and rubbing his nose. He also has a sore toe (After the oil fin heater accident his toenail grows back really funny and then we have to cut it right back to nothing otherwise it gets caught on everything and gives him a lot of grief when he goes to bed and when he wears shoes because it rubs)   He also managed to get a sty in his eye and a rash on his cheek after skidding his face into the grass outside, so we aren't too happy this weekend.

I am so thankful that I haven't got any morning sickness yet as I'm not sure quite how I would cope!

Hope everyone is well.
