May 2008 mums [:)]

Its funny the things that Thomas can do/ say now,
This evening he shocked me with a round of:

'I see Mummy, i see Daddy, I see A-ma(grandma), (then came the animals) I see Max, I see Chloe(yes he can say Chloe properly), I see Fran... No dad-dad (grandad) Grandad was having a sleep.

He can count from one to six clearly and can say 2,4,6,8,10. He knows all the words for his shape abacus (heart, star, square, circle and triangle)
He can just about sing the first verse of the postman pat song. He knows what his programmes are on the telly that he likes (go show - argh, spongebob, postman pat, bobby the bus) and can say the names properly.

You know, for a 21 month old, he's shocking. He really is. My husband is one of those annoying super intelligent fools that could do all sorts of spectacular things when he was a little kid, but Thomas is doing MORE than Matt did at the same age.

Even tho he can do all of this, he still cant get the spoon into mouth co-ordination done properly :P

Talk about a big gloat about how fabulous my child is, but i'm just so bloody proud of him!

BUMP
how is everyones May Babies doing?

Thinks are getting more and more testing at our house.. its mostly cuz Thomas is growing up and i'm getting more and more pregnant :P I've got zero patience with him and the poor little sod has been copping a lot of flack for minor things he does wrong :/ Least he's little and he wont remember, right? lol.
Ah well, 10 weeks to go and the house will be plunged further into insanity hehe.

Hey guys,

just a quick catch up... William is doing so much now... he had his first real hair cut last week, shaved it!! Man my little baby is not a little baby anymore, he is really a little man!!
He is still not talking much, but tells us what he wants in other ways.
He is doing so well in every other way!!

Bex, Sue had her little girl Briannah (I think that is how it is spelt!!) a little while ago now, I think she is about 8 weeks and just beautiful.

Well done to all you Mum's having more babies, my baby making days are well and truelly over, I think 3 1/2 (step daughter) is plenty for this household hahaha.

Hope you all are enjoying the end of summer, birthdays coming up soon.

Take care... xxooxx

Hey girls. Bex I had Briannah on 28 January - can't believe she's 2 months old already.

Had lots of issues with Keiran being jealous of her and trying to hurt her - actually he succeeded many times and she had her first ACC claim at 4 weeks old after he headbutted her in the face. Thankfully he's become used to her now and is very sweet towards her most of the time.

Keiran is a regular little chatterbox and is into everything. He's on the go all the time so is definately keeping me on my toes. I've actually got him and Briannah sleeping at the same time today which is why I've finally been able to post in here.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Bex and Alex it's not too much longer for you two now. :0)

Toni is due before either of us! She's at the beginning of may :P
I'm totally over this one - honestly its the biggest bunch of BLAH ever. No more kids after this - if they wont fix me, i've got a nice big sharp machete for Matt waiting in the garage.
I'm not quite sure how i'm going to handle 2 monsters, Thomas is honestly the biggest disaster area at the moment. Example: just changed his bottom, he's run away with just a nappy on and escaped out the dog door into the backyard in the dark and rain. Good one son. Good thing he cant get out or get hurt cuz I just dont have the energy.
We're sposed to have a deal going here where I get up during the week for Thomas - until i'm too much of a whale to do it all, and Matt will get up for him on the weekends. He's since decided that I should be doing it all the time because I dont do anything else. Its so great! lol.
Oh well, he'll get his when this baby arrives :P He wont know what hit him! hehe.

Other than that, everything is going alright. Thomas is doing everything developmentally that he's supposed to etc, so i'm happy. He's hopefully starting the transition into over 2's at kindy this week. I said to them I want him in there and sorted before his sister arrives else it will stress him out too much. Thankfully he's really good with the babies at kindy so i'm not worried about him hurting the baby. I was quite rough with older kids - and me, but whenever he bit me or smacked me or whatever I did it back to him and he stopped. I think he realised that he was actually hurting people and he didnt like being hurt so yea :P Probably not the best way of teaching him not to be like that, but its worked!

Anyway, I better go see how muddy and grotty he's got. Bet you the nappy is off and he's rolling in the mud :P

Hi everyone! Quick post to say good luck to those due soon... Toni, Alex and Bex, and well done and welcome to little Briannah!

Getting big and uncomfy here. Looking forward to work finishing in 6 weeks so I can enjoy the last few weeks of just having Caleb and waiting for the little one.

Bubs is currently breech so working on turning the little ratbag, then I hope to follow Toni's fab lead and have a VBAC! Fingers crossed!

Caleb is awesome and hilarious as I am sure all the fab May 08 bubs are! Loving every moment with him.

Take care all
xx

Ooh Thomas does that too! he's got these crappy old wooden blocks that my stepdad got from work and he honestly will sit there for hours stacking them on top of each other and then knocking them over and starting again! I got him expensive stacking toys etc, but sods law he hates them all :P

Dying for all this to be over - i've been really crampy in the last 2 days and had 1 day with a bit of a show, but nothing since. Baby is head down and pushing hard on my cervix so when i see my MW next week i'm going to see if she'll do an internal to see if anythings happening. The cramps dont feel like the normal niggles you get - more of a under and round the back cramp. Fingers crossed huh?

Hello Hello, long time no post...

Everything has been super busy around here at the moment... you know how it goes having 4 kids around the house and school holidays hahaha

Anyway I thought I would pop in and say good luck to the mummies who are having babies soon....

My baby is 2 tomorrow!! Where has the time gone!!

Mind you that does not make me sad enough to want to have another one though

William is starting to toilet train at the moment, he is doing really well, speech is coming along beautifully and all round he is turning into my big boy!!

Doesn't seem like 2 years ago that I was in a hurry to get the little bugger out of me hahaha.   I am sure there are lots of mums feeling that way at the moment.

Anyway girls, had better go and finish icing William's birthday cake.

You all take it easy and I will be back another time. xxooxx

Day care doesnt let us take a real cake :( they get a playdough one instead. thomas hates the stuff!
