July 2010: Weaning's in full swing, the kitchen floor's covered in ming

[CakeandRoses]

And voila: our 6th postnatal thread... which neatly works out roughly one a month [maths genius emoticon]

enjoy your hols wss

woodlands they dont do a check till 1years old here either

Well done on sticking with the potty training cakes and good on F with his steaming heaps lol

mlic how you feeling? Have to agree your hv sounds fab

kk is the car modified now? You'll have to put picks on. Dont feel left out of the meet up, i dont think i'll manage either so much coming up

memphis the wee pup is gorgeous. Its horrible going into houses like that, hope you werent alone. Glad you met a friend and well done to you and L for group

tsc sounds like you have a great plan of action in place. Your doing the right thing regarding the job. Glad you got sorted

dh hows the cc?

spireal how did it go with hv? Cakes is right babies do things at their own pace

hotg has your lo had his hearing test?

chulita poor S being bit, is he ok? Think its common for siblings to lash out. Hows things with the house?

needles your shop sounds fab. Are you making a website? Or can you put pics up for us to order?

trudyla how are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?
Hope I haven't forgot anyone, i'm on my phone so please excuse errors

no not donw yet stac have a few things on order so i'll wait until absolutely everything is here and then get it all done together! got it tuned up the other day though. it just puts up the bhp. i love it!
tsc wow frankie is flying it! he'd really advanced! must be the brilliant parenting ! we just have the mama dada nana and yeah yeah here! not pulling herself up yet and is still crawling backwards! she was killing herself today trying to crawl forward as i had one of her toys left just out of her reach but she just kept getting further and further away!
wss enjoy the hols!
had quite a busy week. mad busy tomorrow too thankfully! and then out tomorrow night for the first time in over 2 months!! can't bloody wait!

Hey all,

Look at the time , just got in from a real actual party with drink and everything

sorry i didn't reply memph, haven't been in since this afternoon. chulita's method is the same as i'd have said but mlic's sounds good too [diplomatic]. if you want to add a bit of oomph then a tiny bit of mustard (eg mustard powder) or marmite really brings out the flavour of the cheese.

wss properly laughed at dementor. just snorted again typing it. he sounds a treasure! enjoy your hols with him

kk the moving away from the thing she wants is an Aurelia special too - tickles me!

oh and have booked F's check now - phoned them earlier, they were about to call me with an appt . it's a '2-2.5 yr' check and A's is a 'pre-9month' check.

post more at a civilised time tomo.

night all - hope everyone gets some sleep

Jealous at the party cake. And agree a bit if mustard powder makes cheese sauce even better

L is desperate to crawl. He keeps throwing himself on his knees and giving it his best efforts. He manages the odd shuffle fwds but move bkwds really quickly.

2 yr check? Didn't have one for e. They sent questionnaire with 5 questions which I don't recall returning!

Sorry guys too tired now to post properly. Most sleep had this wk is 4 broken hrs. Lucas suffering with his ears again. Tonight she went to bed at 7.10, woke around 8, then back in bed 10 mins later. Up 9.45 to 12.30 and again at 3.30. Is in the bed with me in hope I get a little more sleep. Not seeming likely

Hope ur all having better nights

And we're up again.

stac we havent tried it yet, D isnt well hes got a cold, so have I and Im feeling v sorry for myself!

mlic dh agreed to a puppy but with my pnd he wanted to wait til the summer but i persuaded him to get one now, but he won on the name of him and the size dog, i wanted a little one he wanted a bigger dog, apparently the pup was naughty although he slept all night and once got up and found a pen and took it to his bed!! yes he was so bad?!?! she couldnt copw with L and had to get sil to sort him out, we were 2 hour incompetent cow!!!!
thanks on the cheese sauce is same as what i did but i obviouslt did something wrong at the flour stage!
L woke at 4.30 then 8!!! and we had silence from the puppy too!!
tsc im still laughng at he had my tit off!!!!
wss have a great time with the dementor!!!

I'm with you on the tooth thing tsc , A's now got 2 and kind of cheese grates on my nipple. She did it twice in a row last night (i can't believe i gave her a second chance tbh) and by the second time my nipple was throbbing for ages.

melissa hope you catch up on some sleep today

My head's ok actually thanks mlic as i didn't have much myself. knowing you'll have to bf is a good way of curbing how much you drink!

memph did you take it off the heat when you add the flour in the way chul said? otherwise the flour starts to cook into kinda pastry which makes it gritty. if you did, perhaps take it off the heat a bit sooner so the butter isn't as hot when you add the flour.

had a lie-in til 10am this morning too as A had been awake at the party so was happy to lie in, bless her. F at my step-mother's house til lunchtime when we'll collect him.

He's doing so so well re potty training. No accidents at all thurs or fri including at the play barn (where he used the loo), and he's been great at my step-mothers too this morning (even did a poo on her loo .

i've accidentally taught him to say goodbye to wees and poos (the intention was for him to be ok about flushing away poos) so now he says "Bye poo poo" after every wee too. That's one i really hope he grows out of by adulthood

anyway, off for a chocolate cupcake elevenses with A and dh now.

anyone up to anything interesting today?

963 posts!

anyone got their rhyming head on?

We had a fantastic night last night S up 11, 1, L up 2, S up 3, L up 3.45, S up 5 and up for the day at 5.45.

No teeth for us yet so, so, so happy cos my nips are already sore from his constant feeding and couldn't be doing with biting too.

wss hope you have a lovely holiday!

stac you're so good at keeping up with everyone. No news on the house, we've got a couple of expenses coming up so we're going to see at the end of the month if we can up the offer (fingers crossed the house is still on the market!)

Thread titles:
July 2010: red cheeks, dribbly chin, it's time to get the bonjela in
July 2010: crawling, teething, eating and talking, it won't be long before they're walking

Just so cake doesn't panic too much

I like the first one chul thanks:

July 2010: red cheeks, dribbly chin, it's time to get the bonjela anbesol, Liquid of the Gods in.

oh and sorry for your crap-awful night

want to borrow a glorified pillow case?

I thought of Anbesol but Bonjela flowed better. Maybe we should use 'teething gel' so we're not seen as unduly biased towards one particular brand that none of us even use .

Re walking, S will potter along with L's trundle truck filled with bricks with me following close behind in case he topples backwards and cracks his head so it might not be that far off...

Thanks for the offer, I might go and cut a head-hole in one of my old ones and see if it makes a difference to his sleeping

F had one of those and couldn't use it at all!

ideas great tho and obv works for some

It took L a little while to get the hang of it but it was the best we had.

Send the pillowcase cake , S has been fighting sleep for an hour now. Every time I go to calm him down he's rubbing his eyes and snuggling into me but as soon as I put him down again he full on screams not sure what's up, maybe I should calpol him...

Oh my god, we've just had blood.

Shortly after accomplishing his first few steps (a mad dash whilst he clung on to his brick trolley by himself!!), he pulled himself up on the tv unit, then promptly fell down, smacking his chin on it and biting his tongue.

There were tears and after a couple of sucks of a damp cold flanel he was off to do it again...idiot.

stac We haven't yet heard about the hearing test, going to chase up the HV next week.
