Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

[molly85]

lily will keep you busy this year especially if she wants to be in her presents early. How does Toby find being with the other parent each year?

 

[misse04]

Don't come on here for a few days and there's paaages to read through lol. Ad now I'm at the end I've forgot what I've read lol. Babies haven't got too much which is a shame but were poor ATM. We still have all of Connies 6minth toys so there was no need for us to buy it all again so he's got clothes and little bits like a few pram toys etc. Connies got a cleaning station, shopping trolley, little tikes car and other little bits. Have asked other people for vouchers. Hoping for a good amount of next vouchers for them for lots of new clothes x

Toby seems fine with doing it this way I think it adds to the excitement doing things differently every year.

 

[molly85]

god i'd love cash or next for them. i suspect people will just bye them bits. He's in 6-9 today so that's going to confuse people as abby was 3 months or more behind in clothes

 

[Mosnippy]

Aw the growing to quick

We went and saw Santa today that was fun!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Lily is in 9-12 and even some 12-18 months. She's just so long! X

 

[molly85]

he's not big so I can't figure out why he's out growing 3-6 but hey ho at least he's growiing

 

[misse04]

I would like to see Father Christmas but Connie would go nuts haha x

 

[Mosnippy]

lots to read!
well can I share a secret? I am not excited for christmas this year I am under lot of stress.tight budget and family visiting plus the fight of me wanting to go with th einlaws first on christmas eve and then go to my family and OH wants the opposite..Niki weighted 16lbs on her 5month appointment let's see waht she weights on her 6 month one. OH she also has an apon january 15th to have her tongue clipped the ENT checekd her and she says she needs clipping(I am still having pain while BFing). Also received a lovely letter from the mom of twins girls I pump for such a lovely gesture and a very emotional letter.
Am I a bad mom for not having my LO's christmas present ready? we keep buying things but giving them to her to see if she likes them lol
Also I wanted to do BLW but Nicole started graving food off my plate and trying to put it in her mouth, she still can't sit unassistd, and sill ahs the tongue trush reflex so dunno. I still gave her a little taste of avocado today and she seemed to like it. IDk what to do!!!

Lily is fab at sitting unaided now. But she is having trouble playing with things sat up as she puts her feet together so she struggles bringing things to her if you get what I mean. She is stil not rolling but shuffled on her back the other day and had a proper go at commando crawling. She pushed herself about an inch forward with her feet but doesn't know how to move her arms and ends up just making swimming movements. She will be off before long though I'm sure of it. We give her food to play with and let her sit in her high chair when we're eating so she can see what's going on and get used to it all. I think it will help her with baby led weaning. She had a bit of a roast potato the other day but mainly just squeezed the potato out and threw it on the floor haha.

Well tomorrow is mine and Toby's "Christmas eve" as he goes to his dad's Sunday and I won't see him until Christmas day then. We are making salt dough decorations and gingerbread men and christmas cards. And then we're going out for a meal with the rest of my family. Then Sunday I am going to clean the entire house and finish off my uni assignment and then Christmas eve I am going to lounge about in my onesie, watching Christmas films, eating chocolates and (after Lily has gone to bed) drinking wine.

 

[molly85]

I have a stander not even a sitter he did it once and is slowly getting there He won't tripod so practise practise practise. when i'm free not up to my elbows in toddler

 

[irmastar]

Nicole can roll tummy to back perfectly and is working on rolling back to tummy. When on her tummy she moves around in circles trying to crawl, it is very funny to watch.

 

[molly85]

I'm not sure hes awake enough to get practise in especially with Abby trying to squash him

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Lily loves standing too. Sometimes I can't get her to sit down because she just keeps her legs straight haha. She had her first go in her new bath chair today and she loved it.

 

[molly85]

I saw MIL got Chris one of those bath mat ones for x-mas hope he gets on with it ok

Lots to read.

Mosnippy I hope you feel better soon.. Which anti-D is it? I take citalopram 40mg which is fantastic for m - I feel normal, calm, confident and happy, best I have felt in years. It gives me awful insomnia though so I take amitriptyline at night too which is also an anti-d.

Irma i wouldn't worry about xmas too much. We just wrapped everything yesterday. Ds has 4 or 5 little pressies compared to DDs millions. He wont know any different. Myself and OH didnt buy each other anything as money is so tight!

OH found a job, it doesnt start until Jan but at least we're feeling more positive now. Its another welding job in the same town as my Mum and sister so OH says we can move back if I can find us somewhere to live!

A is really mobile now! He rolls across the living room all ways to get what he wants and can do a backwards army crawl and turn himself in circles. We just tried him in the walker and he can get across tge room but dont think he actually realises he's doing it!

He still doesnt sleep, waking every 40mins or more I have no idea how I'll cope once OH is back at work. Back to paediatrician on Mon Im going to ask for all his reflux meds to be upped again. Still on high calorie milk Infatrini and went from 12lb6 to 14lb in 2 weeks on it. Reckon he'll be 15lb now!!

Lots of tidying to do today. Going to get all washing n ironing caught up then tomorrow get house sparkling top to bottom. Xmas Eve we have paediatrician and lots of pressies to deliver!! Xmas Eve night is just for relaxing and so is Xmas Day. We're staying at home with family coming to visit and MIL is bringing Xmas Dinner (apparently mine and OHs cooking wont be good enough haha) x

 

[molly85]

god its just to busy! all for 1 pesky day. we have santa today. and dropping by OH old work.

 

[Mosnippy]
