July 2010: Better child-proof the home, it won't be long now 'til our babes start to roam!

[MyLifeIsFeelingFestive]

New thread.

As you were

lol at the mlitttff.

Think I might name change

I am so tired! R's nose is blocked so she kept wanting a drink. Had put her into her cot but gave up at 4am and brought her in with us, were she kept wanting fed. I shouldnt moan considering what you all go through soz. On top of that af is on its way, i'm getting the cold oh and have pmt lmao. Thank goodness we are staying in. Dp's mum has a severe chest infection the doc says if there isnt an improvement today they are admitting her to hospital.

Looks like we're all in the same boat for new year, i can't be bothered just want sleep lmao. A friend is having a party but i dont want to leave R.

Its not been the worse year but just cant wait for a new start.

Hows everyone today? X

I'm recovering, thanks Chulita. :) I sound like my voice has finally broken, but my nose is clear now and AF is packing her bags. Helped that M was exceptionally well behaved last night and I got loads of sleep and a lie in!

She also just finally rolled over from back to front. [proud Mummy] Took her long enough to figure it out.

Very of the panto, Melissa! I love pantos [big child] but DH says I can't take M to one until she's older. :(

No plans for NYE here, we're going to bed at normal time and planning to sleep through the celebrations. We're very lucky to have a good sleep routine here and I don't want to risk losing it!

Tomorrow though we have a few friends over for a feast lunch, which'll be nice. Speaking of which, better get back to house tidying.

I cant think of a good new years eve name so Ive just put my age at the end

Had my braziliaan today, she didnt take that much off, its meant to be a thin strip in the middle but she only did the edges..

chillita the grow back is fine!

Happy New Year from 2011

We didn't stay up til midnight, just had a few glasses of bubble, watched a film and went to bed about 10 pm. DH's sister and her dh had sent our Christmas presents to the wrong address so the neighbour they had been sent to brought them over yesterday evening - 2 books for me, a book for dh and a Bill Bailey DVD - quite cool to get a present on New yrs eve.

Ooh whatshesaid what's it like in the future?

It's great, in 2011 we all have spaceships to fly around in and all babies sleep well all the time

whatshesaid you lied! What a fantastic night...couldn't settle S til 11, up at 12, 1 and then 5 and from the he wouldn't settle. So, yea, I got 4 hours sleep in a row but still feel like warmed up cat turds.

But, happy new year everyone! May you all have a year filled with happiness, fulfilment and crawling/eating/sleeping babies :)

Ok, Ok, I lied about the babies sleeping! But your spaceships will be with you shortly...honest...

Happy New Year everyone! :)

You lied, WSS? But, but... M settled particularly easily and slept from 7:30pm-6:30am, when she happily chattered to herself for half an hour! Would you mind lying to her again?

Also, can I have my space ship in blue please? Getting bored of all the pink busy infiltrating my house.

Happy new year all!

We had a crap night, fireworks right outside the window kept us up til half 12 then D woke at half 4 and has an almighty blocked nose so couldn't feed him back to sleep. Im so tired I could cry.

At FIL house right now, we stayed the night, don't have any plans today but determined to get a sleep in somewhere.

Don't worry MLIC... I'm back at work full time in April so M's just waiting until then to go on a sleep strike.

Happy new year!!!!

No amazing sleeping baby for me neither 2:30, 5:30, 7am.

Going to granny's for the annual new years day dinner phoned her yesterday and she's going all upmarket this year with scallops and blackpudding as a starter. I'm so excited

What has everyone else have planned for today?

just given L his 1st lumpy food, he loved it i was expecting gagging and face pulling!
any new years resolutions for you ladies? mine is to get to a size 8-10 not a 10-12! i tried on a dress i havent fit into in 2 years and it fits so im officially the thinnest ive been in a while but could do better!!

L been asleep for ages! been mothercare im that bored and bought a seat pod for the bath for L as he wants to sit up now, and an annabel karmel cook book, total price £45 the rob dogs!! according to ak L should be eating a 1/4 of what he does the fatty, i must admit i think i spent £15 on a book where she talks out of her arse

Happy new year my lovelies!!

Have to post this quickly as we have no reception at the holiday cottage so I'm sending this on the drive back from Exeter. Just went to the theatre to watch Room on the Broom (adaptation of the julia donaldson book).

A sleeping so so badly at the moment. wss you cursed us all!

Hope you all have a lovely day and an amazing year ahead.

Catch up soon. Xx

I gave Dylan banana, bread and parsnip tonight, he seemed to enjoy it all, he made an almighty mess though! Still going ahead with BLW, seems to be working well for us :)

Hey, BLW people, what is good to give as first finger food? G is on purees at mo but she keeps trying to grab solid food out of my hand when I have it. I gave her a bit of watermelon yesterday which she liked but I think it was quite hard to hold (slippy) as she kept dropping it.

I'm thinking maybe steamed carrot sticks, banana cut into sticks...what else is quite easy for them to hold and chew on but isn't going to make me panic that she'll choke?
