July 2010: old-skool, the worm, commando and shuffling on the bum: that's the way crawling's done

[CakeandRoses]

Well that gives them all of about 14 day's worth of chat to get crawling then

cake I have a similar problem in church with L and a bunch of 5-6 year olds. They spend the whole 'coffee time' picking her up and carrying her around, stopping her doing what she wants and trying to make her do what they want (ie. act like a big doll). She gets so upset by it and the parents just ignore it. I get really pissed off cos they carry her off to the front door (wide open next to a very busy road) and leave her there so I spend the whole time chasing after them asking them to stop carrying my daughter around and don't get to chat to anyone. And don't get me started on the girl who nags the whole time to hold S why do people just not notice how bloody irritating their children are?

dh good luck finding a bridesmaid's dress :) My sister found mine in TKMaxx but then it was just me, I had 4 bridesmaids and they all had the same dress but in different colours, 'twas a veritable rainbow of lovelies!

We're off househunting again on Saturday, there were 2 houses I wanted DH to see but we can only get a viewing of one of them...fate perhaps cos the one we can see is the one I like best the lady said 'well, you could come back next saturday' hmm...I really do want to spend every weekend driving a 4 hour round trip to look at every house in Cheshire, honest

hg wow! I keep trying to coax S to do that but he's not bothered.

memphis I dont know the colour yet, its riding on the dress.

chulita thats exactly where we're going today!

tea lovers - vote this way

morning ladies, R woke for her dummy loads then awake at 5 for grub but she had went down half hour earlier last night.

cakes i would definately say to them then as its unfair F's time is being interupted. Do you use olive oil on A's cradle cap?
How exciting dh any ideas on colours for the bridesmaid?

trudy R went through the screaming phase she was just finding her voice lol. Holiday blues are a nightmare.

An AIBU for you. Dp's working hours were changed twice within 2 weeks. His normal hours are 8am to 4.30, they changed him to 9.30 to 6pm and then back again. But since he changed back he hasnt been home before 6.30 so obviously this has annoyed me. Last night i asked why and he said that he is being made to, again fine as we need the job. What did make me angry was the fact he has known this for nearly 2wks and didnt think to tell me. He has a tendancy not to tell me things if he thinks it will upset me but from my point of view i am more upset about being kept in the dark. Do you think IABU to expect to be consulted or at least told whats going on?

enjoy the house viewings peeps!

Dreadful night here last night. He went down at 7.30, woke at 9.30, 11.30, 1am, 3am and was then awake for 1.5 hours - so fed him back to sleep at 4.30. Then we went through to 8.15 so at least we had a longer stretch - though that's kind of annoying as well as I need him to have his morning nap before we get to the baby group that starts at 10, and he normally has his nap 2 hours after waking up. oh well.

At least I have learnt that if he wakes up properly it will be 1.5 hours till he's sleepy again so I don't bother stressing about getting him back to sleep. I switched on the light a little bit, turned his mobile on and gave him some toys and burrowed back under the duvet. I actually managed to doze off for some of the time.

sorry about the double post

memphis the hv advised me to poor some of R's milk into the bottle lid (teat) then add the meds as they are less likely to notice due to sucking. Hope that makes sense

Poor L chulita must annoy her no end. If you get this house will dh commute?

totally agree about the employers being able to do what they want I'm angry at him for being so secretive. Poor frankie, are you going back to the docs? Have they offered salbutamol syrup for him? J used to get it for a bad chest it was easier to get into him than the inhaler,or even offered you a preventative inhaler? {{hugs}} for frankie

Ack, poor Frankie :( Is he miserable or just ill? Cos ill is bad enough but miserable on top of that is just horrible!

stac we'll let it out if we buy it, I can't be doing with a 'weekend husband' but we want somewhere to go as and when we sign off!

dh if you find a dress we want pics :)

stac I'd be annoyed too, I hate it when DH doesn't tell me stuff like that, afterall, it affects you as much as him.

AIBU to eat my body weight in biscuits? I just can't get enough of them today.

DH is working all day today, overnight and all day tomorrow so I've got no 'end of play' to aim for and that frustrates me!

stac i would be pissed off too!
tsc poor tinynewborn hope he settles.
chulita go gor it on the biscuits ive got nothing left in house to eat and no tea bags but L wont stop being a little shit long enough to go out and get some!
im having a shocker of a day, really not coping at all, L wont settle just cries if i put him down, but im just getting angry, he wont eat a thing just clamps his mouth shut, ive tried ringing dh to send out an sos i cant cope eventhough i know he cant do anything as hes in wales but he couldnt hear me on his phone so im just feeling my blood boil more and more, wont even keep his dummy in just wants to hold it, fucking pnd really felt like things were getting better, sorry rant over

oh that's crap memphis. good idea to take him out for a walk, crying is more bearable outside and the fresh air (albeit rainy) will do you both good.

tsc sorry to hear frankie's poorly again.

took J to the clinic this afternoon - he now weighs 9.36kg, 20lb 10oz. the HV was as unhelpful as they normally are, she really rushed me. I did have a quick chance to say should I worry that he's not rolling over or crawling yet, she said keep an eye on it, make him practise lots and talk to the HV if it's not changed in a month or so. I'm not really worried, his muscle tone seems fine, he's just a lazy boy who likes to lie on his back and kick his legs.

I voted for the cuppa tea emoticon

We didnt go dress shopping in the end, long story but we might be getting it from the internet now.
Her friend told her of a website where you can choose the colour, material and style of the dress and they make it in Japan and ship it over and it only costs £60.

Aw mlic go on have a cry. I did yesterday, it didnt really help but sometimes its nice to release it all.

Dont bother with cooking, grab a takeaway, chill out on the sofa with kiddies (I know thats hard when baby wont stop crying) but maybe the calmness will help him. Stick a film on and have a cuppa tea :)

Haha I bet he was really shocked! I hope you feel better, or even a bit less :(

oh MLIC is it wrong that the screaming made me smile? Was it's like the lady in the vicks advert?

Hope you feel better soon, is there anything you can take to make yourself feel better?

mlic I really hope your DH pulls through for you tonight. I agree with dh, toast won't hurt E for one night, don't push yourself to cook take the easy route on everything for a bit and try and pick up.

memphis did you get a walk? S has been crying all afternoon unless I'm pacing with him so we got out just to time how long it would take to walk to a children's centre I've been driving to and he was quiet the whole time. (he's now upstairs in bed crying but we had some peace for a bit!) and rant away, that's what we're here for!

How cute of E to say that, what a little sweetie! I agree with you on the 'flu' front, I had it for real earlier this year and it's horrible. My sil gets it every other week and still gets to work/parties/boyfriend's house
