Happy New Year all!! Blimey where does the time go, haven?t posted for an age, been lurking though and reading when others post. V V V lazy tbh. Don?t like posting on my phone though as have ?chipolata? fingers thus making me decidedly inaccurate.
Anyway news from jupiterland?
E is properly crawling now, having commandoed since just over 7 months. She is also pulling up to stand on anything and everything. She is v cheeky. She knows her name and if you call it she will turn to you, the same if we say ?No?, although she doesn?t usually stop, just gives a cheeky grin and carries on. I fear she will be trouble.
She enjoyed the paper and ribbons at Christmas and if DS? toys are out is not interested in her own!!!
Eating wise she is pretty good at trying and accepting most things, but incredibly lazy about feeding herself. If she had her way she would be fed everything, but compromise is we will feed her stuff that needs to be done with a spoon and then she eats the rest. She is also lazy about drinking and makes no effort to hold the cup ? little minx.
Milk ? sure she is on too much, but is offered 6oz at waking, 11am ish, 3/4pm ish and bedtime. Think the afternoon and morning ones could possibly be smaller?? Who knows ? can?t remember from DS. However?
[whispers quietly] on the whole she is a pretty good sleeper and quite content. Sleeps about 11/12 hours a night and if we are at home in the day, about 2 hours at lunchtime. Rubbish at sleeping if we are on the move, but not worried, generally count my blessings. When teething, sleep is more erratic and only two teeth so far.
She makes loads of noise, lots of babbling and different sounds. Not like DS, who was noisy, but not the variety of sounds. She just about points, waves v occasionally and clapping not a hope ? she seems to have no interest.
Weight no idea ? 2nd child syndrome and hasn?t been weighed since 15 weeks. She is growing though and ?bang on? in terms of clothes size (just moving into her 9-12 month wardrobe). Her hair is the thing though that grows fastest. Have had to trim fringe twice already!!
We also made it through DS? first term at school ? hurrah. He is in an odd phase of either being lovely or being vile and defiant. Would like more lovely. He is 5 next week ? can?t quite believe it.
sam good for you for doing what works for you re 4am feed. It all works out in the end and you have to do what gets you through. If E does wake in the night then she gets fed. Anything for an easy life. Wanted to watch OBEM, but forgot was on.
sitting again what works for you. DS has been ?tapped? on the bum on more than one occasion (he is 5 next week and has a devilish streak). With E if what she is doing is dangerous she gets ?No? followed by moving her (repeatedly) away.
petty LOL at A and his wooden spoon and saucepans!
Flo brill you still BF, well done you. Good luck with work next week!!! I had 9 months with DS and was really really looking forward to going back, this time less so, but I think that?s because I think E is our last I am back to work on 5th March (booo), but have asked to do 3 days per week instead of full time ( have been 4.5 days or FT since going back after DS). Hopefully it will all work out. Sitting as you were asking what people do? I work for a large corp law firm as a sales/marketing manager. Generally it?s ok and work with nice people (though they can be annoying as well as nice).
lozario sounds horrendous hope you are all better now. With bedrooms and sharing, no experience, but I would say just go for it!
muser E has had all kinds of things to eat that she probably shouldn?t have done. Everything in moderation I think.
cheese cherub edeluna honeymoonmummy purple 1catherine jojo kagey and any other lurkers hello! ckny glad NY is going well! geek nice to hear from you.
Right must go, sorry mammouth post (must post more often as I love to read everyone else?s updates and love it if the thread is busy.) Also supposed to be dusting, hovering and tidying as E?s christening on Sunday and 30 for lunch after (20 adults 10 kids).
