Morning All,

Hope you all had a super duper weekend!!!

Marijke happy birthday for yesterday!!! I hope you had a really awesome day How was the concert?

Deja ah no man shoo that is a long time that your DH is gone! I really dont know how you do it but you are strong!

Cinds I wont be able to chat I am gonna miss you guys and I am going to have stax to catch up on How are you feeling - are the tablets still making you feel so bad?

Sumayad that is so cute - LOL at kissing the floor he is so cute!!! YOu must take a pic

Rebekah is 10 Months old today!!! 10 MONTHS!!! Time is going way to quickly, just the other day she was 2.7kg!!!!
She is so cute with her crawling but gets into lots of mischief but not as bad as Bardon aka Dennis the Menace

Hello everyone!

We went shopping yesterday and today..and bought a bed but only getting it tomorrow after work..can't wait

My sister's baby is home again and doing good, she came out of the hospital this afternoon!

Mignione has got a hectic snot nose and cough. Ai, I'm trying to avoid antibiotics so I'm trying to flush her nose with saline solution the whole time..what a mission! She's 'stepping so nicely now It's so cute to see..she walks alot better when she thinks we're not looking

About the medicine, I won't give my baby medicine that if I know that it's addictive. Just my personal opinion. Charlene, hoekom se hul is ibuprofen sleg vir baba's?? Ek gee m BAIE nurofen..die dok het gese dit help die beste vir haar oorpyn omdat dit help teen inflammasie??

Claire..I finally received the No Cry sleep book! I't's really an awesome book, give you so much info and it really works! I love the whole trend of the book..they constantly say that all babies are different and you have to do whats right for YOU. So glad to hear that Colby is sleeping so much better!!

Skitter, dit klink asof M jou regtig baie besig hou

Cinds, hope you feel better soon even though you are still taking the nasty meds

Jana jammer om te hoor dat jy ALWEER alleen by die huis is Ek sou dit regtig nie survive het as ek jy was nie! EK het ook gesukkel met M wat ek deur die nag haar doek moes ruil, het nou Cuddlers gekoop vir die nag..dis baie dikker as Pampers so dit hou die hele nag!! Is baie beter as Pampers vir die nag.

Can't remember the rest of the posts Renier is in a hurry to get into bed so I have to go...will read through the rest of the posts tomorrow and reply then

Enjoy your eve!!

Hello everyone!!!!

Have been quiet lately, sorry, but Micheala is super busy!
Today she realised that if she pushes the walking ring against the couches she can clib on and get the remotes, phones and blinds!

Other than that she climbs onto the bed and off the whole time and onto the bedside tables.....and into all the drawers. Ai, as if opening and throwing everything out wasnt enough!

She was very difficult yesterday, crying and clingy, but her usual happy self again today. was so happy!

As with the sleeping, she wakes up 1-3 times a night, not that much actually, but when she wakes up she sits up immediately and asks to be taken out or stand with arms outstretched to me......so I pick her up and it usually takes 5-10 minutes for her to be asleep enough to be put in the cot. I also do not believe in the cry it out method. But I do believe they have to cry to learn how to express their emotions.

I read all the posts but cant remember now.....but thinking of Charlene with the sick babies, hope they are better soon.

Micheala had a 2year old friend here tonight, and wow he is rough! He drags her by her shirt to come and play with him!

Deja, how can we possibly vote? They are all so damn cute!!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone

Thanks Charlene! You know that was like the only advice I got to help him sleep through. Stop feeding him at night. When I did try the cry it out method, all I could think is "this goes completely against my instincts, how can it be right?" So, yip, I still feed my son at night and we are both much happier.

Deja, I don't blame you for keeping her in the bed! If my bed was bigger, I would too. I just wasn't getting any sleep though. They say co-sleeping is the best thing for a baby. Teaches them independence (believe it or not) and they land up being better sleepers later on. I can just see you with your 4 kids snuggled up in bed!

PS Colby slept from 11-6 last night without making a peep! First time in months! I feel so good!

claire, i love and absolutely adore the fact that you have said and written dot not feed her at night just cause other told you its wrong, do what you are comfortable with doing!

the lady living across the road from us still feeds her 2 yr old son during the night, yes she cant get him off night nappy, but it makes them both happy. so its kinda a pro/con thing...

good luck...
