October ’06 Toddlers

Hi Lynne! Yeah, we are the best group on this forum!!!

I got to experience what it would be like with twins today! I looked after a friends girl who is a 10 days younger than Brenna. She was sooooo good and the girls had a blast together!

Good morning ladies, lovely to meet you Lynne, look forward to seeing some photos...Hopefully you have better luck today with her food

Go away Katie's visitors, we want her back!

Have had a pretty cruisy day here, went and had lunch with GandT and her boys and the gremlins had fun. Decided they weren't doing the afternoon nap thing and romped around their cots instead, I am going to have to start putting the drop side up, I haven't bothered but looking at them standing there today they are in danger of toppling over the top.

Am loving the warmer weather today, we had chicken and salad for dinner, I love that it is sooooo easy! Summer dinners are great coz you don't have to think about what to have, just any random meat plus a bit of salad.

Gremlins finally over their tummy bug, hooray!

Oh and I am starting to wonder what I have gotten myself into with this birthday party, it is going to be HUGE! It's looking like 50+ people, including lots of little gremlin friends. It's going to be chaos! I still can't believe they're a whole year old tho!

I know, I am mad as a hatter! But hey, at least with twins I only have to have ONE party! Altho I am making two cakes...

Go the girls night in Danni!

I went to T and T yesterday and bought a couple of wee things for Michelle's twins who are due soon, sooo tiny!

Oh and Elvis has left the building, so watch your mail boxes little gremlin friends! All except Toby and Ethan who I don't have addresses for...

I know, I have been the same! Not so much clucky as really sentimental about this time last year, I nearly burst into tears in Countdown today remembering when we went to do a big grocery stock up the day before the gremlins were born and how huge I was.

Oh now I'm getting sentimental too!  Thanks, guys.      Ah, I suppose it's good for the soul.  This time last year I think I'd decided that this baby was never going to come, and I'd just be pregnant forever.  We'd bumped the induction date foward a day, or were just about to.  And I'd stopped answering my phone... oh yeah, and my FIL kept dropping by 'just to check I hadn't had the baby yet'!  Took a preg test yesterday after getting paranoid about being nauseous and hungry every day.  BFN and I was quite relieved.  Made me realise how not ready I am for another just yet! 

Ella was walking yesterday!!!  She's ventured on from taking just 2 steps before very slowly lowering herself down, and now she's walking - holy cow!  She's so funny though - super-cautious about it.  And all it takes is one little tumble and she won't try again. 

Hey Danni your night sounds great last night... what movie did you get?  I went out for coffee and a bunch of us suprised a friend with babyshower prezzies... lots of fun and dodgy conversation .  Made up for being stuck at home alone with baby a fair bit in the evenings recently.  I hope all you Oct mummies are having a good weekend.  Crap weather though, eh.  And hey - I'm glad the gremlins are feeling better, Emma.  Kellz, did Isla get a funny tummy in the end? 

 

LOL Andie, I was sobbing over it the other day too, can you believe it's been a whole year? I keep saying that but man, where did the time go!
Yay at Ella walking! Go little monkey go! Am soooo glad that the gremlins look to be a good couple of months off walking lol!
Oh and AF is being a bit slack here too atm, I have my fingers, arms, legs and ears crossed that she will show in the next couple of days even tho I'm reasonably 99% sure there is no chance I'm pregnant coz we use natural family planning.

Glad Brenna liked her invite Anna, I still think you should totally ditch the baby shower and come here instead!

I've just noticed that Mercedes is really into 'posting' stuff atm, she loves putting the balls into the Fisher Price fish bowl, and putting blocks into the box, and she 'posts' things down just about any gap she can find. Oh and they are totally loving these $2 shop board books I bought Maya when she was their age and she was never really that into them, but Sienna has taken one of them to bed with her!

Oh Wow! I just read the pregnancy thread - so nice to read. I was like you Shelley and got wee tears in my eyes. It is so nice that we have all been together for so long as a group. It was really interesting to read. I'm quite keen to read some of the early baby ones now too.
Go Ella! What a star with her walking. How exciting is that. A real wee girl!
Emma, we have just got back from a first birthday which also had LOADS of kids. Very busy and noisy but lots of fun. You are one brave woman! He he, it will be fun.
My visitors are GONE! YAY! I feel so relieved. It was nice to have them here but I did find it hard trying to look after Oliver at the same time as showing them around and looking after them, cooking dinners etc.
Nice to be back to normal for a bit.

Gosh you are a very brave women Emma, I do hope the cleaner will be around to help clean up the next day
I read a few pages of our Pregnancy Journal and man alive - I still can't believe it's been a whole year, it's so sad, We don't want our baby to grow up

I have just been finishing a page in Lily's scrapbook and the next thing on the list is her 1st Birthday Page

I hope you can a have a nice relaxing day at home tomorrow Katie.

We got so much done today we had fantastic weather here, Sam got the Lawns done and I got some sweaping done and we managed to get a few tree's chopped and it look's so much better. Lily was enjoying the sun and watching Mummy & Daddy while playing with her toy's.
