July 2010: C'mon threadbabes: eat like MLIC's; drink like TSC's; smile like Memphis's; laugh like Cakes's; crawl like nearly all of them (except Cake's)... but mainly: sleep like Spireals

Here we be (phew!)

Meant to say congrats to mrcake, hope you have a good time celebrating!

S has been so whingy, I ended up taking them both out for a run just to get outside. I've got tonsilitis for the second time in 3 weeks, not really badly but swollen up/really sore throat and earache...lovely stuff and it made running really fun as you can imagine.

stac I hope R isn't coming down with anything! poor you!

morning everyone and happy easter!!!
somuch to catch up on i was only gone for one day, was so glad ro come home to dh yesterday, he had collected my bike but it needs something doing to it now... another £60 to find!! we went out on his bike last night and met up with a few people at the bike night, today we are going bike shop to locate a part and then off to Rutland Water on the pushbikes with the trailer and a picnic, just made omlette for breakfast!
dh I didnt make it on net yesterday hope you had a fab day and got spoilt!
tsc i did laught at frankies head, poor boy, you MIL is nuts, he is 9 months old so what if hes not walking yet!!! crazy woman!!
cakes i didnt know you were vegan, i dont eat much meat now I was a veggie for a few years but I hate dairy! what did you give F to drink after a year or were you breast feeding still? my hv is adamant he has to have blue top cows milk at 12 months when i told her i didnt really want to! i give him soya in his breakfast at the moment

removes from sleeve: ahhh, revenge is sweet

in a whirl of packing (for 2 small children for 1 day and night/evening ) and getting ready for the easter egg hunt/bbq followed by a very nice restaurant tonight that i've just booked for dh's celebration. ridiculous amounts of packing/organising. will post properly later.

Happy easter all! [busmile]

Thanks memphis :)

We've had lunch in the garden but D is being such a pain, hes so moany. I think it might be his teeth.

ooh quiet day on here
mlic crap about the dog, is his recent naughtyness out of character or has he always had a naughty streak? the puppy is great when its just us but when visitors come he is a nightmare!
L went to sleep no bother tonight, we went on a bike ride but think it was too hot for him as he cried to we pulled in at next car park and dh got the van while we played on the grass! then came home and played in the garden but he wants to go on all the places hes shouldnt, he was trying to get into the shed and on the drive and in the bins everywhere but his playmats and gazebo!!!

mlic how's W now? That's really irritating about your dog. We looked after a dog for a while that never came when I called. He'd run up and attack other dogs too, a right nightmare. That was one dog I was happy to see the back of!

memphis I just let S roam cos he doesn't stay where I'd like him. His favourite spot at the moment is splashing in L's sand/water pit. I'd love to take our two on a bike ride but I need a seat for L cos S will have her old one so I need to find one to go on the back for her.

cake have a lovely time and remember that you don't need to pack as much as you think

I've also made chocolate brioche that's proving in the fridge overnight. I hope they turn out all right cos they smell lovely but I'm worried they won't rise right...we shall see!

this child will not sleep . she went down at 8 and has been up 3 times already and is still up now. she's so tired all the time as she's not getting enough sleep and then she's so over tired that she can't sleep. viscious circle. she's been very cranky the last 3 days too so it must be teeth or something. and she has her cough back. there's always bloody something. everything seems to be going backwards. i can't leave her to cry as i just can't do it but it's just getting worse.

keep repeating "it's just a phase, this too shall pass" kk It will. hope tonight is better.

i spent the day with 3 toddlers (inc F) who i've known from babyhood and it made me realise how fast the baby period flies by It feels so recent that they were like A and now they're back-chatting and getting up from their potties to walk around with pooey bums

I'm determined to enjoy what's left of this gorgeous baby stage, sleepless nights, bitten nipples, messy weaning and all.

Morning!

A great night for us, only one wake up at 4am, but then up for the day at 6:30, luckily DP got up with him and I slept til 8.

Its really hot here again today, we're going for lunch for my birthday with my parents, FIL + wife, my brother and my gran.

morning all!!!

not a good night but i only got up the once as dh did it, he then took L to the park at 7.30 so i could lie in!! i got up to a grumpy baby, gave him his breakfast then passed him a bottle and hes now been asleep for an hour so hopefully be in a better mood when he wakes, we are doing family visits today oh joy! its things like mass family visits that make me think living in oz would be a good idea!
oooh and ive lost 3 pounds i 11 days without biscuits!!!

Hey all, had a lively say in Blackpool yesterday - was very hot!! As it is today also.

Cake - I absolutely while-heartedly agree with you that babyhood flies by so very fast, I'm with you on enjoying what's left of it for out lo's.

DH - Enjoy your birthday lunch and the weather :)

My lucky husband is off the races today, Nottingham I think, on a stag do. Think I'll take the kiddies to the park today for a picnic, sod the laundry today - I'll do it tomorrow! Weathers too nice to not do something lovely with my babies :)

Congrats on the weight loss memphis, sorry your babs is grumpy today :(

Memphis thats brill!! well done!
i've started fitting into loads of clothes again! including my work tunic which i havent wore in about a year and a half! mad busy until about 10 tonight. And we're going away tomorrow and i have nothing ready and i just know im going to be too tired to do it later!
Happy saturday everyone!

Wonder is it his teeth mlic if E was the same with his? he's due another batch if i remember correctly?

Morning from sunny Wiltshire. Off out for a long walk and picnic today, am trying out my new sling. Fed the boy when he woke at 3am last night, it makes for such an easier night if I just feed him rather than battling! Then he woke at 6ish, dozed for a while on me, then at 7.30 my MIL took him and DH and I had a nice lie in and a cuddle. mmm.

Ha! tsc I think boozing would be a good idea, help you forgot those sleepless nights. Might even help F sleep!

D is def getting his next tooth, he is mr dribble bum today.
