Happy 9 months Monty wow this year is going fast!!!

Think Noah slept 8.30 to 6.45 last night I woke up at 1.45 for a wee I have discovered the light of the alarm clock was waking me so I covered it up last night and slept much better.

Right better go as ive loads to do today and im sat here delaying myself.

ooooh ive also started getting a bump (im sure its come earlier this time)

Yey for a bump maffie!

Anyone have any nice plans for this weekend? I just wrote out a nice A4 sized page job's list of what I need to do in the house, not including playing and feeding Chloe, model building with Nij and the inlaws visit. Oh gawd. No rush with the list as such, just want to make a good dent in it as its things I have wanted to do for ages and just forget about when I am in home zombie mode. lol. Looks like the weather is going to be pants here anyway!

Mornin' Girls!

Well we started off yesterday morning with lil miss standing up by her self on the bed! She looked like a little surfer with her bum poking out for balance haha. Then when we were at my friends house, she did it again!! TWICE! No hands! Just standing there! For about 10 seconds a time! Oh lawdy .. walking is gonna be soon

Teeth 6 and 7 also just cut the gum together (OUCH!)

Re jobs, back in England I was the manager of a retirement home. Had 100+ residents! When I moved here I went in to mental health as the supervisor of 4 group homes.

Kaites ~ Re professions for LOs, the way she loves animals, atm I suspect a vet!

Maffs ~ Hope Noah feels better soon! Get some Karvol. I got my Auntie to send me some over here lol. Yay for bump!

Colsy ~ Happy 9 months Monty!!

Kte ~ You're graduating?

Busy weekend for me .. Say afternoon we have a 1st bday party to go to and then Sat night I'm hosting a mums "PJ" night in here and have 11 people coming over. Yikes!
Sunday ~ lay in bed for as long as humanly possible

 

[Maffie]

Not loads of plans for the weekend yet, need to get some maternity tops as with BFing as well im just not fitting into many tops. Also need to list some more stuff on ebay.

Noah keeps doing the standing Chaos he lets go of the play pen and tries to balance until he falls over, he also walks round the pen holding the sides he looks so funny doing it. He's also developed a new crawl like a frog jumping.

 

[Kte]

Chaos: Nah, maybe next year Today its for the students' at my work. It's our School/Department's ceremonies today PJ night sounds awsome, have a fab time!

Spent morn/lunch in cafe with friends and babes. Now home ... and after just a few mins of being back I left Monty in the kitchen with OH so I could pop upstairs to work on my project tender, and OH yells up the stairs 'He's crawling!' So yep, my boy is now properly mobile. He looks so cute, his little knees and feet all wobbly as he scoots across the tiles

Woo whoo! Congrats Monty! A big day for you all! 9 Months AND crawling!

 

[Kaites]

WTG Monty!!! Happy 9 months too

Well, the cat has decided that since Emma is crawling, she must be part-cat and is therefore her baby. She's been following Emma around all morning which is pretty cute. Only downside is that Emma now must think that she's part-cat because she keeps heading for the cat's food bowl in the kitchen I knew she would discover it at some point but was hoping it might take a bit longer....

plans for weekend- we're off to Weymouth on sunday to go to the big sea life centre there, so I'm looking forward to that... and our new bed for the spare room arrived today, so we'll be building that tomorrow & probably mow the lawn if it's not raining again. But that's about it. Too tired for anytrhing else. I'm sleeping soooooo crap at the moment & Harry was up 3 times last night... I knew I spoke to soon wehn I started boasting about him sleeping through- next time I'm keeping my mouth shut, lol.

 

[Kte]

Hey all,

Well I managed to complete a few thing's off the 'ol list so I get a nice relaxing afternoon now

I'm shocked, I gave Chloe some choc pudding and she didn't like it Think it's because she is tired, I mean - not liking chocolate!

Hope you had a better night last night Flora

Quick hi, off to Sainsburys (feels pointless as with headaches and vomiting) sorry another moany post from me I just feel so crap. Noah had a terrible night (think he's learnt Monty's trick of a good un a bad un).

oooh and I bit a cherry the other day as I was biting them in halve for Noah and found a grub (maggot thing) alive in it. Mum felt sick as she'd eaten a few dozen of them.

Icky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least Noah dint eat it though!

 

[Maffie]

Im craving cherries so bad and cant bring myself to eat them now

Morning all, well its throwing it down here feels much nicer now the heat has gone. Noah is still in bed (who stole my early riser????)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

 

[Kte]

Morning all,

Maybe me? Although I got a 'lie-in' until 7am lol.

Maffie: I used to love cherry bakewell's when I was PG, not as healthy but maybe a good substitute!

Has anyone else noticed their LO is taking less naps now? Chloe doesn't sleep as much but still isn't tired at bed time?!? Well she doesn't show me she is tired but I still do the usual routine and she goes down fine so I'm not really complaining! Just wondering

Ya, Missy went from 12 or 13 hours a night plus1, 2 hr morning nap, 1, 2 or 3 afternoon nap, to:

11 hrs a night, 1, 30 to 45 minutes morning nap and 1, 1 to 2 hour pm nap. Sometimes she skips her morning nap all together!

 

[Kaites]

Emma's pretty much dropped her afternoon nap too. My mum said I did the same at 9 months Kinda sucks since I liked the "me-time"! She isn't going to bed any earlier though so it's a really long stretch from her morning nap til bedtime!

Anyone doing anything special today? Nothing special here- just boring grocery shopping and maybe a coffee with hubby (and Emma in tow of course).

 

[Kte]

I was just getting used to 'just doing this or that' whilst Chloe has a nap. Now I will just have to think of other ways to keep her entertained whilst I do my chores. It's okay at the moment but I can see it becoming more of a challenge the more mobile she gets At the moment she just scoots around the living room playing with her toys but she has spied the CD rack which will have to be re-homed (I found her chewing on a CD yesterday At least it was one of Ni'js )

Nothing much planned this afternoon / evening. The coffee sounds nice Kaites. I just have to plan Chloe's dinner, make our dinner (chops yum yum), give Chloe a bath and then get ready for work tomorrow (boo, hiss lol)

I can't believe I totally forgot to say earlier - Chloe has a new tooth One on the top has cut through, not one of the center ones (I'm useless with teeth names / positions!)

 

[Maffie]

I'm ebaying its very tedious.

Noah has between 10-12 hours at night then maybe a 30 minute morning nap and usually an hour in the afternoon. Although he skips the naps if loads of people about (He must think he'll miss whats happening )
