March to May 2010 Mommies

@ScribblingAl - WOW! Well done on the research proposal!! Congrats - that's half the battle won! I'm also thinking of doing my masters (got my honors now), but I can't even begin to imagine myself doing that research proposal, never mind the actual research and thesis.

Kara is teething (again...), she's got 12 teeth now, some of them molars. I dont think it's quite normal at this rate, the poor thing. Some days she refuse to eat ANYTHING and that doesn't help at all in keeping her happy. But I guess we just need to hang in there until all they are all out.

Have a great week! x

@Scribblingal - hopefully its just a phase for her too... we went through 2 weeks of that... some nights Tayla only went down at 11pm when we eventually went to bed... I was at my wits end... and as suddenly as it started - it stopped... one night she just lay down on her own in her cot and nodded off... and thats where we are at the last 3 nights so far... i put her in the cot and she rolls over and nods off! Holding thumbs this lasts!!!

Could be cos she is finally used to the daymother... and comes home exhausted every night... but whatever it is - I'm happy!!!

anyway - it was just a quick post - got a good few orders i need to get out this week!!!

StaceySmey, I read somewhere that walking at 14 months is considered normal. And I also read that it's better for their feet to start walking later - the bones need time to develop or something. Having said that, all babies start walking when they're ready. If they haven't started walking, they've developed in some other area. I can tell you that Emily started crawling very late, and started walking a few weeks later, and now she's such a little terror. It's not always a good thing....

Babyshoes, that photo is just adorable! I love all the photos you post.

Adri, that view has long been replaced by a computer screen. Sigh. But the good news is that I finally submitted my research proposal, so things are moving along!! Hopefully I'll be done in a month or so. Back at work today. Nearly nodded off during the morning conference. Emily wouldn't go to sleep last night (I built some muscles rocking her. Now I tell every one I meet that I rock! weak, I know). Then she finally went down at 8, woke up at 12, woke up at 4..... Who's got drugs???

Hi ladies

I know it's been a while, I have had a hectic few months at work (as in not even seeing Kara some nights because I had to work late). But it's a bit better for the next two weeks as my boss is abroad...

Good to see you are all doing well. I've just read a few posts back so I hope I'm not missing anything/one important!

@ScribblingAl - so how did the comrades go, what was your time?? Just kidding...hope you are still there with the pretty view? Would have been sooo nice to join you and Meags for coffee, but unless I take leave it's not going to happen...and that's not really an option. How's Emily doing?

@Babyshoes - awwwww, cute pic!! It's heart warming seeing them so happy!

@StaceySmey - it's probably easier said than done but relax about the walking, it will come when he's ready (I'm not one to talk as Kara walked very early...but apart from letting him cruise around there's nothing else to do...) But by the sound of it he's very close!!

StaceySmey - give Asher time, hang in there....

I really wanted to share this photo with everyone - was bathing Luke this evening and he was having soooo much fun and to me this photo says alot!!

Do any of you guys have pointers - to assist Asher to walk - I know I prob shouldnt push him
