Angelstartdust: yep I did cry lol - I was just so excited for her and proud of her so it was mainly tears of happyness but I was a little sad too that she is growing up so quickly.
Nutty: I wouldn't worry about the talking she will be full of talk in no time and because she also has an older brother, she probably doesn't need to talk. Natasha is saying a bit now with meaning like hiya, ball, bye, bath, bottle and she is trying to call my brothers names and she will make a dog, cat and sheet sound - but being honest only we would understand her as by, bath and ball, bye and bottle all sound like bo or ba and she only calls my brothers names when we ask her too. She will call her daddy dad but she doesn't actually call me, she says mama when she is wants something and is pointing and not even when I am there :doh: I think they concentrate on different things - Most of the babies here are flying around on their feet including abbi before now and Natasha is only taking her first steps.
Aunty: Yay for your new pushchair and yay for Imogen liking it too. I hear you on the tree - We are going to put ours in the the sunroom this year, so we can see if through the french doors in the sitting room, but Natasha wont be able to get at it as the doors are always kept closed as I really couldn't face trying to keep her away from it - She is constantly hanging onto the the TV stand and our tele is 48" so I'm terrified it will affect her eyes being so close and now when she goes up to it she will turn to me and say ah ah and wag her finger just as I do to her - so as you can see that is not working lol
Cleck: That is awful that Corey still has to go to work - the army sound really hard to work for. Thank God Corey had started to wear the seatbelt for you and is okay because of it. I'm always getting onto my DH for weaving as well, they think they have total control and I always say, you may have control but you can't control the weather, the roads, other drivers etc.
Kim: That fish tank sounds cool - I would love something like that, but know I wouldn't have the patience to look after it. I had a goldfish years ago and hated cleaning the bowl - Yuck. I would definitely tell your mam the truth, she has put you through so much hardship, why should you have to spend your holidays with her.
Shiv: I really hope your mum has a speedy recovery - there is nothing as bad as having a parent in hospital, it is such a worry. Sophia is doing brilliant at the body parts, Natasha will point to her belly and sometimes her nose, eyes, mouth but usually she gets mixed up with them. If we mention pretty she will point to her hair as when I started brushing it everyday I always say - your lovely and pretty lol
Booth: I wouldn't worry about Jessie - I think they call that Jargon - I know my friend was talking about it lately that after they start saying words they start talking loads of jibberish and they way she explained what her little fella used to do is exactly what you are describing, she was telling me it was very funny. I think it is there little brains processing all the language and they are trying hard to form sentances and think they are saying stuff. it must be so frustrating for them though as they probably think they are having full blown conversations and we can't understand them. I'm delighted you had such a good time on hols.
Heidi: I wish we had our tree up, we never put it up until the 8th of December and I love when it is up but hate putting it up so I wish I had that job done lol
vici: Best of luck with the TTC - I know what you mean about hating working I also hate going out but like you it is something I have to do. Imi sounds like she is doing really well. Natasha also does that in the mornings she will talk away to her teddies but the minute she hears us, we get hiya hiya - it is so cute.
Andie: We dont go to toddler groups either as with working I dont have time. I always thought they sounded really fun.
MJ: Hi good to see you.
Spidey: I bet Kira will be flying around walking soon too. Natasha had been holding our hands for the two weeks and then she took two steps by herself last week and then went across the room yesterday. I think it is mainly confidence is her problem, she seemed to take the steps and even when she went across the room yesterday, she seemed to not realise she was doing it.
I hope I haven't missed anybody. Natasha is doing great. I think her teeth have stopped annoying her as she is in right form for the last couple of weeks. She only took a few steps today, she is very nervous about it but I guess it will take time. she is getting really chatty and is interacting with her toys a lot more, she will pretend to give her doll a bottle and cuddle it and pat its back and say sh sh which is so cute.
She is still doing really well on the eating and eats nearly everything we put in front of her so hopefully that will continue as I really want her to be better at eating veg than I am. She only has 1 bottle before bedtime and drinks juice or water from her cup during the day and cows milk from her cup in the morning but she really isn't a drinker at all, which always worries me that she will get dehydrated. Some days she will drink loads, but most days she will only sip and has no interest in it. She is sleeping now from 8 at night until anytime from 7.30 to 9.00 in the mornings. She is such a friendly child I love spending my days off playing on the floor with her - although we have had some slapping and hair pulling instances of late and only with me, so I really dont know what that is about.
I'm really looking forward to Christmas now and having 3 weeks off with her. DH will also be off for just over a week and we got some of the christmas shopping done at the weekend, so hopefully the rest will fall into place.
Bit of a worry with my job at the moment as I'm paid out of public funds and basically Ireland is bankrupt - the country has been in talks with the IMF and the EU and they have agreed on a bailout, so the IMF could decide to half all of our pay. We will just have to wait and see. Our budget is the 7th of December so that will tell a lot (just before Christmas too to cheer us up) and we are probably going to have a general election in January as everybody is calling for the goverment to stand down, so worrying times ahead here. But I just keep hoping that it will sort itself.
Well talk to you all soon.
