August-September 2010 Moms

Aww robyn, so sweet! You must have been chuffed!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

D did the cutest thing on Sat night - she woke up at about 22h00 for some reason (bad dream or something) and just wanted to be held - but she kept lifting her head off my shoulder and opening her mouth for a kiss and once she got her kiss , she put her head back on my shoulder
But she did this about 4 or 5 times - it was so cute

Oh WOW... you ladies chatted up a storm while i was gone!

Sher - She is so adorable! I love the dress... she looks like a real princess! Little Kaelyn also isn't a fan of having her face or hands wiped... so she doesn't get cream.

Robyn - SHARK attack! Oh my word! Will have to go see if its on news 24...

Sonay - Landed on painkillers for 2 and a half weeks so just couldnt keep the breast feeding going, but little miss is only really having 2 and a half bottles a day at any rate so it isn't sooo bad. I must say i miss it in the mornings. Yes my mouth is more or less healed, still a bit swolen and tender, but nothing that hurts anymore.

We tried the forward facing car seat a month or so back and she seemed to hate it even more than the rear facing car seat so we put it away again, but alas she waqs getting too big so last weekendwe decided to bite the bullet and move to the forward facing. now that she can see out the window she seems to really love it! She happily sits there looking out the window... i even get to sit in the front of the car now, fancy that

Cols - distraction gets them started but i promise in a few days he will decide to do it willingly... and then all hell breaks out... suddenly the toilet is only a few steps away from your bedside table... and he can most likely reach the flusher! (I only warn you because K threw her sleepy teddy in there the other day... and was about to flush when i saw...

Pink - Good luck with the new venture... i think it will keep you busy, it sounds like a great deal of fun actually... there is a shop like that near us and they were selling dummy chains like the baby sense ones for R120... they sold them like hot cakes. and i looked at them they would cost hardly anything to make. but because they had skull and cross bones, or lace or... on people loved them. I bought one for K so that her dummy would stand out from the other babies ones at creche... then the other weekend our dog chewed it up

Sorry for being MIA, it was a really hectic week, monday evening my aunts dad passed away... he was an awesome man and had so much life in him i still cant believe he is actually gone it came as such a shock. And then wednesday K kept falling at creche so the teacher and us decided to take her to the doc to see about an ear infection, so we put her in the car and she started throwing up on the way to the doc ... it went on all night, she couldn't keep the antibiotics down, wouldn't drink her milk, nothing. luckily i think she kept enough down that she threw up only twice on thursday morning and then it was over. Then we had the funeral on friday, which was awkward coz K was still a little miserable. But she is fine now, all is well again.

Kealyns new thing is sitting on steps... she will walk up to a stain turn around,,, back up until she feels it against her legs and plonk down.... so so sweet... she then claps for herself, stands up and tries again... oh and also the open mouth kiss.... she will be playing on the other side of the room and suddenly she comes running up to you with her mouth open for a kiss... too cute

PM sorry hun How long are they at their dad's for?? Shame, did you PVR the game for him??

Sounds wonderful - you are so creative and so well organised, it'll be great. It was such a mission finding maternity clothes.

Thanks Robyn! It looks gorgeous!!! Jeesh - that is so silly Why do people think they can take on sharks??

Hi ladies
TGIF!!!!
Well done Bokke!
DH & I are taking MIL out for supper tonight (my parents are babysitting) yippee

BabyKsMom - yes, the guy lost his right leg and most of his left
He wasn't too far out (but the water was very flat, so no breakers to keep you close in)
but the beach was closed due to a shark spotting, so he took a chance - and lost!
You should see the video (was on News24) this lady took a video of the sea and maybe 100m out you see this HUGE shark and the fin comes out!! OMG that's why I only go up to my ankles!!


Cols - you should try Arneston (also called Waenhuiskrans)
It's absolutely stunning - like Hermanus was before it got overrun
There are loads of guest cottages (www.arniston-online.co.za) and a beautiful hotel and spa (www.arnistonhotel.com)
Our family goes every year

A very doom and gloom morning....

I hate school holidays! Actually those I have to let my girls go to their dad...grrrrrr. Things have been so hectic the past week that this morning totally snuck up on me. So I'm having a bad one, me and Iz both lazing around in our pj's. The girls was in tears leaving for school. Though I am seeing them tomorow again, as Abs have ballet and she only trusts mommy to help with wardrobe etc.

So praying the Bokke wins....would love my hubby to actually have some personality this weekend! He was so angry cause he's on standby, he couldn't get the day off to watch the game, so they organised they'd stream the game and watch it online.....only for one of the bosses to organise a meeting at 10! DH was beyond himself! He is a VERY big rugby fan.

I am in the process of starting a online baby clothing shop. As I am forever looking for something unique for Iz to wear. Especially in our town. Funky nappy bags, baby photography props, and seriously cute outfits for boys and girls. 0-24mnts. As well as reasonably priced maternity clothes. So if you girls have some suggestions, please feel free to throw it my way.

Hope u all have a lovely weekend!

Sonay - Evans new paed put him on CHELA-FER Syrup (Iron Supplement Amino Acid Chelate) made by Arctic Healthcare . I have had no issues with constipation, his appetite has improve 10000%. Really - he would never eat even half of what his menu is now. He woke constantly in the night for milk. Now most nights his 1st wake up is 4:30 - 5am and then he sleeps at least another hour after. Rude nurse! Evan also hadnt gained much weight - 300g since his last jabs but they said nothing. He's over 11kg now.

Baby K - FXFXFXFX for monday! Anyday now, Evan is walking more on his own and also standing alone, so he can dance. He hasnt repeated the stand up from crawling but he does let go of everything and takes a few steps. His record was 10 steps yesterday. He was watching beauty and the beast at school and didnt realise he'd let go of my hand to walk back towards the tv. Seems the key is to distract them.

Robyn, shame hun! Hope you've got more on today. Terrible news hey - im so scared of sharks. Barry dives with them - freaking crazy!

Ok, I need to find a good place to stay in December somewhere in the Cape but not Cape Town. Barry is thinking further up the cost like Langebaan or before Cape Town - hermanus side... Any suggestions? I do not know the areas at all. The most I do is Cape Town..
