October ’06 Toddlers

I'm not into rugby but I just flicked on the end of the game now... OOOOOHHHHHH it's close!!!  And there are gonna be some awesome 'man love moments' shots from it on Pulp Sport next week!  He he.  It's a beautiful day here too... perfect for our coffee group's joint birthday BBQ for the kiddies.  I was having a bit of a miserable day of it yesterday so cheered myself up by going shopping with mum.  Ella didn't think much of it, but she'll be happy when she gets to wear her super-cute new red dress, I'll bet.  Hope everyone's Sunday is a winner of a day...

wow, I can't beleive our little ones are nearly one...

we has the neuro developmental therapist come to see Ethan about his not sitting on firday, and guess what, he learnt to sit that morning...typical boy.

well at the moment I am stressing big time, am up to missing my second period, but am way too scared to do a test, really really wasn't planning on another one so soon, wanted Ethan to be at least two and a half maybe coming up three...haven't told DH as he would be so excited, I have decided to put off getting a test until next week when i do the grocery shop....really I have never been so keen to get my period......

so apart from that, we are good, Ethan is doing great, he is so much fun at the moment,

have to go will finish update later

OMG Natalie Go Test, Go Test!!!!!  I'm amazed at how patient you are... I tested in my paranoia and I'd not even missed a period at the time!  That's so cool about Ethan learning to sit  - and just in the nick of time too.  Clever lil man! 

I'm excited about Charli turning 1 on Wednesday, Vanessa... she's the first of our little group to get there, awwwwwww. 

Wow Natalie!!! We are all now anxiously waiting to hear results

Yes I can't quite believe our babies turning 1 either.

It is such depressing weather in Wellington at the moment with the winds blowing and the constant rain. Haven't been able to get outside much lately - hopefully it will all clear up soon.

Emma sounds like you have got the Gremlins some cool birthday presents I think I have probably gone a little overboard buying stuff for Ollie but I just can't help it!!!

How is it all going with Ella and her walking Andie?? Is she the first one to be walking in our October group? I think Ollie will be the last - he is definitely not showing any interest in doing much of that!! And yay for the bum shufflers!!! My little neice was a shuffler and it was so funny to watch sometimes.

How is everyone's preparations going for 1st birthdays? I have got things pretty well organised. Just waiting to get a few more RSVPs and then I can confirm numbers for food, beverages etc etc.

Hope everyone is well.

Blimmin heck Emma!!! You are going to be one busy woman!! At this stage we have around 30 adults and 10 children but that could change. Have you got someone to help you out with the cooking?? Maybe you could ask some people to bring along a dish so that you don't have too much pressure on you? We have some friends who are vegetarian who said that they would bring along their own requirements - that has taken some weight off my shoulders ha ha!

I'm going to stick to the basics - little red sausages, sausage rolls, pizza, chicken nuggets, ham sandwiches and cheese sandwiches for the savouries, and fairy bread, fairy cupcakes, choc cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, fruit kebabs, chocolate brownie and a variety of slices which I'm going to get from the local bakery for sweet stuff. Plus a heap of bottles of soft drink,and I'm going to use plastic cups/plates etc. so there's not too much washing up. Plus my mum is going to be here to help as well.

Oh and Mercedes has a new word - "this". It's her new favorite, and everything is "this". She points to stuff and says this, she says "ta this" when she wants to give you something or you to give her something, it is soooo cute!

Hi everyone! Wow lots has been happening this week! Yay for cute Oct bubs doing new things! Ella would look sooo cutey walking!
We have been away since Thurs, to see DH's family, then to Napier for the weekend. Just got back this afternoon.

Glad some of the babies are better now. Isla is still unsettled and pulling her ears heaps,...back to the Dr tomorrow.

Big news,...we are moving. To Gisborne. After labour weekend! Eeek! Its all happened so quick!
Will be soooo good to be in our own place,...we have been basically living out of a room for nearly 5 years- all our own stuff is stored and we were living in a flat with 5 others for 2 years in London, so just had our stuff in our room..then since being back in NZ, we have been living in PIL's bach with all their stuff! We have never used any of our engagement or wedding presents! Will be like Christmas! He he!
Gonna be a very busy month tho! And we will be living with the in laws for a month after we leave here, before we can move in to our house. So that will be interesting!

He got a job! Well 3 actually! Lol! But the one hes taking seems really good, and a bit more $$ too! Will be harder finacially, and Im gonna have to go to work, to top up the extra wew ill be paying on the morgage which the tennants usually pay. Will be worth it to have him happier tho!

Might be able to get cheap flights sometimes! Thats what we hoping for, for Mum and Dad to come see us! At least we will have a real size house, not a bach like now! Lol!
