Annnnnnnnnnnd Good morning!
Ok can someone please explain to me why my daughter is STANDING?!?!?! She can't even go forward in crawling yet! (Backwards and circles, yes, forwards no) Standing?? Seriously??
So yesterday my entire day was spend watching the first season of True Blood? Has anyone ever seen this? People are always shagging! Shagging and Biting. It's most peculiar ..
I think we need to get Autumn a new car seat, her feet are now hanging out the bottom of the one she has and her head is starting to out grow the top. How do these kids grow so quickly???
Katies ~ Autumn LOVED Florida. She's a total little water baby. Really loved being in the pool (although I think drinking the pool was a close second haha) did really well with driving there and back too, not a murmur. Was 9 hours each way.
Re the sneeze/scare .. one day I was putting Autumn in her car seat and I burped. The look on her face .. followed by 10 minutes of solid crying. Scared the life out of the poor kid lol.
LK ~ Oh did I miss something while I was on holiday? You and the OH are back together?? Glad you had a nice weekend!
Kte ~ Re runny nose .. Autumns nose is ALWAYS running at the moment. It kinda coincided with spring here, and the pollen here is so bad it looks like someone got a flour duster and just sprinkled everything with yellow powder. It's that thick that you can write on your car when its covered! So I've come to the conclusion it's just allergies as there are no other symptoms. I did get this neat little battery operated snot sucker tho! It even plays music whilst it sucks haha.
Re teeth, I read they can come up and go back down whilst they are trying to break thru ... not sure how true that is?
Flora ~ Re foods ~ Autumn is a sweet junkie also. She's ever so dramatic if I give her something savoury. Pulls a face like I've just served her shit and sugar lol. It's strange tho, she won't eat savoury when its mush, but if I give her the food in it's proper form, she'll eat it.
Amiee ~ Awesome pictures of Earl!
Helz ~ Ethan is adorable! His hair is so funny!!
Ok, the kid is down for a nap so I gotta go jump in the shower, gotta get mulch for the flower beds today before weeds totally take over!
Have a fab day lovelys.

Morning all, well we moved into clooth nappies last night was worried about it has Noah is such a heavy wetter but it went well so im happy. Hopefully means saving on the disposables) going to try save the faves for the next baby too.
yikes its afternoon now managed to do the food shopping half way through posting
oo let us know how it goes with the CDs .. I have a lot of friends that use them .. dunno, I know in the long run it saves, but the initial cost of it all kinda puts me off .. along with all that washing!
Then make an effort and find another. There are thousands out there. Just because you don't click with one, it don't mean the end of it.
"If it continues" if you have been diagnosed with a mental illness, it's not a cause of "if it will continue" .. it WILL continue.
No one would ever think this is Katies fault, and to be honest that last statement just makes it sound like you're trying to get her to end it so you don't have to and won't seem like the bad guy.
Anywho, I've had my say. You'd not need to worry about support for the girls, we will always be here for them.

Chaos we cloth during the day but i was scared of nights, i have some extra washing but its not that much. i do buy fancy nappies but there are loads of cheaper plain nappies out there.
im starving, indulging with chips seen as im still shrinking, im surprised im losing weight the way im eating at the mo, maybe its because af is due mia at the moment though.

I'm not normally one to get involved with arguments, especially over this forum (had my fingers burnt on that one a few too many times) but I can't help feeling that I personally have heard this before and I don't buy it as a reasonable excuse for any of the heartache that's been caused.
Nij, you may have a 'fucked up' life, but to me, that sounds like you're heaping Katie and Chloe in on that! They are part of your life, and should make it worth living, continuing with and making better. Not sitting in a pit of self pity sobbing about how bad everything is.
Everyone makes mistakes.....jeez I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl about both me and hubby. But, they are in the past, we have faced up to them, and we've moved on. If something is currently classed as a mistake then bloody well face up to it....don't hide behind the 'it will go away' - be that a possible prison sentence or a mental illness.....face the demon and it will shrink. Ignore it and it will follow you, slow you down and eventually kill you!
My god man, how many people have I heard say to me that there's no-one to turn to about their problems. First off there's a forum for flaming everything nowadays. Dr's are about as good as they are ever going to get. There's private psychologists, clinical pschotherapists and the barman at your local! All of them would be able to help in some way! Just do something about it! Pick up a phone book and call someone......samaritans would be a start too if it's really that bad! (Trust me on that one!)
Your PARTNER and DAUGHTER need you! You can't simply run away from them as it will make them feel like they are part of the problem! I have personal experience of being with someone who repeatedly needed to clear his head, running away on numerous occasions for the slightest thing. I'm not saying that you're the same as him, but he kept running away to someone else while I sat at home slowly having a bit of a breakdown.....and I didn't have a child to look after!
I am afraid that joke or not, if you were mine you would not have been given the infinite chances that Katie seems capable of giving you. She is a saint for her patience.
Now, instead of sitting on here justifying yourself to a bunch of women who you have never met, how about you get off your backside and sort out that 'fucked up' life that you're so adamant is the cause of all this trouble, and get on with the rest of it!
Don't get me wrong though....I can see the motives behind that post, and I'm trying to put a firework somewhere that will get you moving. If you're serious about Katie and Chloe being 'your life' then you need to for their sakes.
You're a father....your problems are not important I'm afraid!

Chaos LK has a NEW man!!!!
Good morning
Well, I've got my second cup of coffee and Emma's finally down for a nap now...
Nij, I understand that even though you don't know us, you felt the need to come on here and write your cryptic side of things in self-defense but like the others have said already, comments like "if I wanted it over, I would have done that ages ago" do not endear you to the group. I sincerely hope you get your shit together for Katie and Chloe's sake.
Anyway...
Flora- have fun camping! I can't wait for the weather to get a bit better here so that we can get out camping too. It's nice during the day but I think we'd freeze to death at night, lol That's great that Harry is gaining weight nicely and has moved up a few percentiles- although he was still perfect even at the 4th %ile 
Helz- Ethan is so cute!!!
Aimee- I hear ya about wanting a week away! I don't think it's gonna happen for me now- grrr
Hubby is saying that if I do home daycare, we might be able to go back to Cuba for a week in January though- he better not back out or else he's gonna have a very unhappy and pale wife! Where were you guys thinking of going on holidays?
Maffie- that's great that nighttime CDing went well What did you decide to go with? We've been doing nighttime cloth since the beginning and use boosted bamboo fitteds mostly. I'm trying to save the faves for baby #2 also- I figure it's the only way CDing will turn out to have been an economical choice 
I'm starting to feel a bit like one of those sad people on that tv show "Hoarders, Buried Alive" though I suppose the upside is that I never have to worry about running out of diapers, even on wash day, lol
Chaos- we watched True Blood too- I loved the first season (I'm not normally into vampire stuff, but I got sucked into watching it- hehe, no pun intended) but found the second season a bit cheesy. I think we're gonna cut out HBO once The Pacific is finished though (hubby would kill me if I got rid of it now, lol). That's great that Autumn had such a good time in Florida. I'm looking forward to spending time on my dad's sailboat this summer with Emma since she loves the water. We're thinking of getting Emma a little pool for the backyard too. Have fun gardening- I need to get out and weed too. Way too many dandelions happening out there!
Kte- like Chaos said, could it be allergies? Emma had a stuffy nose for a while too and dark circles under her eyes which is apparently a symptom of allergies
Hope everyone is having a good day. Gorgeous and sunny here so I think a walk is in order. I have to pick up some batteries for the chirping smoke detector- why is it when you need a certain size of battery, you have every size in the house except the size you need?!

Kaites - We are hoping for a week in Cornwall in a static! It's mine and hubby's favourite holiday. It has everything we need (we've been the past 2 years lol) and it's pretty cheap. I'm pricing up at the moment and for 1 weeks self catering in a caravan, including food, fuel and spending money you're talking less than £500!! Bargain! Just got to find £500 now! I've done my bit today - finally done my Music Magpie list and it's some £30 worth of stuff! Just £470 to go lol.
Kte - I hope you're ok. Sorry if our words came accross as harsh (I know I have very little patience for things like that!). Earl has only ever had the sniffles once and we figured out it was the softener I had bought because it was on offer. We stopped using it and it went.
Hope everyone is doing well. We're ok...been a pretty quiet day on the whole. Just letting Earl get as much sleep and tummy time as he wants and he's getting so good at things. We have the beginnings of a pincer grip going on and he's shuffling his bottom to get down from our laps, the highchair, the changing table - really scary stuff people! lol

Just weighed Earl before he went to bed (poor little mite has a bit of a temperature tonight and I have a sore throat 
) and he now weighs 21lb 5oz, so has put on 1lb and 1oz in a month
Maffie - Enjoy the chinese - I haven't had one for ages as hubby isn't keen but it's my favourite. Chicken with mushrooms, special fried rice with sweet and sour sauce, prawn toast and maybe, if I'm lucky, some spicy noodles and prawn crackers!! I'm starving and as I'm off to the shops tomorrow we're having jackets for tea when hubby gets in, but I'm starving now....tempted to make myself some beans on toast I'm that hungry lol

I cant wait to order it (will be done while I give Noah is last feed) He wont go down before a 8pm feed How many hours do all your babies spend in bed? Mine's roughly 8pm-7am but with 1-2 feeds in that time.

Earl goes down at 7, 2 feed around 11 and 4, then up for the day sometime between 6 and 7. He's only just started the 2nd feed up and before that he was waking at 6am so I'm expecting it to go back once his growth spurt has settled down a bit.
Oooh I'm so jealous lol. Just made myself a cuppa and had 6 chocolate chip cookies so far....feeling a bit sick but can't stop eating them

We're getting a tooth! Monty took 50 minutes to go down to sleep this evening ... soooo unlike him ... he is usually such an easy baby to put down at night. We had real tears and sobbing - really upset me to see him 
He is in theory asleep now, and we have the election prog on the telly while we eat tea in ten mins - but TBH I won't be at all surprised if he is awake again by then. Poor little mite, I hope the tooth has broken through by the morning.
Sorry I haven't had time to read through everything today, but I'll try to do that in a mo.
On a different note, I put this post https://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/318879-thoughts-after-6-months-parenting.html in Baby Club a few days ago. Some of you may be interested in reading it - it kind of sums up what I feel now compared with how I felt at the newborn stage. Plus if it wasn't for some of you on here, I don't think I'd be feeling as happy as I do now - so thankyou to y'all.
