January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hi all

Hope everyone had a great weekend? Ours was hectic - the inlaws and some family stayed over for Morgan's baptism! What a blessed occasion! Such a great service and my LG was the only one that didnt cry when they baptised her!

Here are some pics...

Such cute pics Cherikey!

Does he drink well from the sippy? We wanna start her on the cup too... For juice and tea only... She has an odd fling with her sis and loves it too - ends up all over the place. Solids also going well - she even grabs the spoon out of my hand!

We'll move her into her own room in summer - too cold by us now... but she's still sleeping through well, even while we were on holiday...

We also fdo regular trips to Pietersburg so werent too worried - but 14hours is quite a long day!

You're brave to take your little girl to the movies, how was she in the movies - am scared to take Tristyn - she's very hyper at times... will take her closer to 3 and a half years of age... She had a Dora party last week...

Hi Ladies

@Anthea... So glad the trip went well. We travel often as well & my kiddies are usually angels as well. So nice that you got to have a holiday. We haven't had one in ages... I'm dying to go somewhere nice where work isn't involved! Love the pics by the way, your girls are going to be the best of friends! Love the tat as well. Very brave! I'd also like to get one to symbolize my kids.

@Snoekie... Your girls are gorgeous... So cute and they too look like they're best buds already as well.

@Sma.... Looking good, have you lost all your baby weight? Sure looks like it!

AFM: we're doing well. Solids going well (only home-made stuff) and sleeping like an angel still. Both him & his sister share a room & he sleeps most nights from wish till about 5:30ish...

Here are some pics i've taken recently...

Colby's First Attempt at a Sippy Cup (we are still EBF)


He was eyeing his sisters biscuit so i gave him one & he loved it!


My princess playing on the beach last weekend...


Took my princess to see her first movie...

Hi all

Hope you all had a good weekend? All your pics are gorgeous! Snoekie - Anja is gorgeous! I love her outfit! We have our baptism this weekend - lots to organise this week! We do the gown baptism, but i got her an outfit from Keedo for afterwards...

SMA - looking good! Wish i looked so good - also struggling to loose the weight - but also lazy to try! We got the Amarok and oh my what space! We can put Tristyn in her chair, and MOrgan in her chair - she'll be in a rear-facing chair till a year at least... i am tooo scared to do it earlier - you very brave!

We took off last week and took the girls to Cape Town... We drove down and the girls were such angels hey... Tristyn sat in front with her dad and we had a portable DVD player for her - she was glued to the screen the entire way up and down (we did one trip there and back...). Morgan was so well behaved - she would get niggly after 2 hours of being in her chair, and then we would stop and rest in any case...

We had an absolute blast - and the weather was perfect. even got to spend a day on the beach!

My eldest turned 3 on the 2nd of July, and they had a photoshoot on the day... Here's a summary basically of the shoot - she got some stunning pics...




Heres some pics of our holiday too...





The last one is on the day Morgan turned 6months old!

Hope all the other ladies are well too!

Hi Ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well...

Sma,
You look great. And so does your two little angels!
Congrats on the new car. enjoy the extra space.
Anja has also been doing the diving thing these days. And she is so impatient with herself when she doesn't get it right.
Anja is not sleeping through again yet, but she has scaled down to one feed at night and then really early in the morning at about 6. Luckily I work for hubby from home, so when it is really bad I can have a bit of a sleep-in.

Anthea,
LOVE the totoo. Don't know if I'm brave enough to do it though. I am not to fond of needles...

Here is a pic of Anja in her outfit for her baptism.
We went for a picnick the other day, and I put on the same outfit as we didn't get nice photo's on the day of her baptism. The one pic is of her and her older cousin.

forgive the pot behind me

Another thing that's been keeping me busy, we upgraded cars, traded in the livina x-gear and bought a fortuner. Totally appreciating the space!!!!

Hi ladies...I'm alive!!!

Work is very hectic, and at home I hardly ever go online, so ya...

The kids are doing well.... Tamina is becoming quite a handful...in a good way though...she's really active, so when you keep her you really have to hold her firmly cos she does this jumping back thing ... She adores her brother, she thinks he's the funniest person ever. She has a laugh now, the sound and everything. Everyone is blaming me, I'm forever laughing, actually I don't think I know how to smile hahaha, so now she's also like that. Her laugh is so funny, and like me it's totally not lady-like hahahahaha.
She's eating very nicely. Haven't had time to cook so she's just on cereal and purity, already on no. 2 cos she'd finish no. 1 and still want more. And she still finishes the bottle after that. Advantage, she's finally sleeping through the night!!! And when she wakes up, she plays for about 45 minutes before she wants to eat.
She travels around in the walking ring, but she only moves in reverse ahahhahahahaha.
As for sitting, she's just weird. At 3 months she could sit without support. Now, she's falling all the time hahahahaha and the reason is she tries to take Mondli's toys or his food or whatever we give him....they love sitting next to each other....so then I'll like give Mondli chips, she reaches out her hands and throws her whole body in the direction of whatever she wants to grab. So ay, she'll figure out a plan in her own time. But now if one person eats it's a problem, so I make sure that their feeding times are the same as our eating time, cos otherwise it's a problem cos she'll want whatever whoever is eating. She really has a good appetite, and yes I'm feeling the disadvantage...she's getting really heavy....plus with the jumping, ay it's good she's becoming "independent".

Then there's the noise.....tsjo she can blab, so much so that sometimes I miss the whole church service and go to the nursery cos she's so loud and when I give her the dummy she does bbbrrrrrr and throws it out and then she gives me this big smile . She's really just a girl, but she's such a happy baby we are enjoying her so so so much. I can't wait for when she's walking and talking and as we see her personality you know.
Hhahahaha Mondli is just so funny lately, he's 2 years and 6 months, so he's speaking very well in proper sentences and sometimes in proper tenses.....but ke he's very serious now ... Like if I play with his cheeks and laugh, he'll say, Ma please stop laughing...hahahahahaha....or if he's tired and we are making noise, he's like.... Stop making noise I'm trying to sleep.... Oh gosh it's too funny, cos even the face is dead serious.
Here is a pic of them fast asleep after running around the whole morning...



And a recent one of me......totally struggling to lose the pregnancy weight!!! Okay, not struggling...lazy
