August-September 2010 Moms

Wow, my child really has no hair! :o(

Hi all!

I seriously hope the end is in sight for all the latest toofies!

It seems neverending this side! If its not the chest, its the ears, if its not the ears, its the toofies!

We are seeing the ENT tomorow, and our paed also wants to see little missy tomorow.

We have learned to say Hallo! Everytime you walk into the room, Iz says Hallo! And she puts everything to her ear as if its a phone and says Hallo!

Dakota is just too precious!

I am not getting any further with the party arrangements. Urgh. I'm very lazy, yesterday me and the girls only got out of our PJ's at 2! Hehehehe.

Thinking of taking the girls to see a movie today, but I'm seriously LAZY! School and the mad rush starts again next week, I just so desperately want to do NOTHING! Though the girls decided last week mos they wanted to re-do their rooms. So poor DH had to whip our the rollers and paintbrushes and paint the past weekend.

It's time to upgrade my phone again, but I'm getting bit tired of BB as this will be my 3rd one, so I'm thinking of going the Torch route, any of you got it? I don't want to move from BB. So it's either the Torch or the 9780. DH got the N8 last week, and I'm kinda jealous of the touchscreen idea though I was the one warning him bout it all along. We lucky, we get 27% off on our contracts and call through DH's company.

Charn, wow on the cows milk! I seriously dunno where we going from formula. Spoke to our Pharmacist, he said its either goats milk or rice milk....WTH! Woolies only gets fresh goats milk from August, and rice milk you get in boxes. As Iz cramped on Soya also.

We'll see what happens, eish, no ordinary child this one!

Showing off all my new toofies!

Hi ladies
Hope you & babas are all keeping well

Dakota has now dropped down to 4x120ml and even then she usually leaves 10-20ml - she was drinking 150ml, but I think she's eating so well during the day.
She makes lots of noises now - singing, shouting etc, but still only the 'dadada' sound
She also runs around in her walking ring at ouma's and stands up and walks along anything she can - her favourite being beds


here are some pics

Just a bit more

Just last week I was complaining regretting missing his standing, well, he decided to make up for it.
He stands every chance he can get!!!!
And he seems to be fully aware of what he is doing. He would lean agains my legs, then push himself up to stand, and then keeps going 'hooray' (waving both arms in the air), and generaly acting silly

He is also RUNNING with his walker now - got a video clip, will post a bit later!

Oh, and he picks up the remote for the tv, points it in the correct direction, and press buttons.
Can't say where he learnt that My parents were joking that he is already a tv adict .

He also seems to be facinated with little things - and he can spot a crumb or speck of dust from MILES away.

Morning ladies.

I'm back! Had a nice visit with my parents - sommer stayed 7 days not the 5 originaly planned
Can't say I had a rest though - my parents aren't used to small baba's anymore, so no 'babysitting'
Add to that my dad turns white if you just mention poo nappy, and my mom recently broke her leg (only started walking again 2 weeks ago) - lets just say, I'm GLAD to be back at work, nice to rest for a change

Too much to catch up on for long personals

Joybaby, glad to 'see' you again. Great to hear the doc visit went well!! Hope the work settles down now..

Lets see if I can remember the discussions...
Willem is still wearing mostly 6-12 months clothes - but I have a whole bag full of 12-18 month clothing waiting... He wears one or two of the smaller items, but the pants are all too long still.

Birthday party - oh dear, still trying to get around to planning that. My sister's LB turns 2 the day after Willem. Now, my sister and me DON'T get along, and she DOES NOT share!! She had an induction with her LG - the day before our granny's birthday - cause she wanted her LG to have her OWN birthday (oh dear, I'm ranting again, will stop now)
Anyway, Willem's birthday is on Saterday, and her LB on Sunday. So we had to sort out dates first, since we both want my parents there. Turns out she is happy having the Sunday, so now I can finally start planning...
Don't have a theme in mind yet, but Willem seems to love playing with his set of Thomas trains - so for now I'm planning a train cake, and we will see from there...
For the 'party' itself, I'm thinking of a picnic at Delta park

Dont worry Kerry, Willem also still only have the bottom 2 teeth. The top 2 seems to take forever!! Last week monday I could see 2 little dots where the tips were pushing - still only two little dots - althought the left one seems to be showing more.

He STILL wakes up every single night. I've just given up, the first sign of waking and he gets in the bed next to me, lift top for boobie, point in right direction, try and sleep some more Seems to work at least 50% of the time
At least he only wakes once, maybe twice a night. Don't know if I would have survived it if he woke up more

Other that the 1 or 2 'extra' fees a night, he still has boobie morning and evening, and a bottle EBM at 11am - usually between 150ml and 200ml.

Cols - I wish i could say she was ahead with the teeth, but she still only has the bottom two fromt teeth, no others, she just seems to be suffering with the molars pushing, i doubt anything is coming through... but it would be nice for her if something did come huh... least it would be one less tooth to worry about. I occasionaly give K some Novalac SD when shes had an extremely hungry kind of day... its supposed to sustain them longer and definately seems to. but i havent in quite a while

Charnenay - Wow! Already on cows milk! congrats... growing up soo fast huh!

BabyK - yes Kaelyn also has a fake cry.. and at night she has a whimper when she is teething and wants to sleep but cant... its such a sad little cry. But OMW the tantrums! Phew its getting hectic... i hope it isn't like this until she is past the terrible two's i don't think i will survive!
