October 04 - New Year Toddlers

[maisiemog]

Hi All, I thought I'd start a new 2006 thread for the October 2004 Mummies and Babies.

mine is the same as if i kiss or hug dp... dd start a pretend cry or sometimes a proper cry, then we pick her up and have a group hug, but she pushes dp away like she is saying "This is MY mummy"!!!... she is very affection and loving..... but lately ive noticed that she is more huggy and kissy to dp than to me and im all shocked!! ... so its normal!!

haha sorry maisie, i just copy and pasted - i didnt actually read half of it! Oh well, it might all come in handy one day

dd is very affectionate towards dp, always has been - and when its just the two of them its fine. she just doesnt seem to want to share me.

i guess we just need to make her know that its not nice to push daddy away from me!

is anyones DD got no fear in anything!! as mine would climb at the highest point and tumble down forward or sometimes backwards (eg softplay area) and she loves it!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thud haha! That's Baba
Our local softplay is segregated, by age. Alfie is in a toddler bit (for free) until he is 18months, so I'll probably keep telling them he's 18 months until he's 2. One of the benefits of being diddy and having no hair.
He loves being swung around by his legs, up to the ceiling and having his head bumped onto the ground and sofa. My mum looks horrified and only relaxes when I put him down again.

ha ha ha!!! as same to me

baba had just found her big sisters brolly... she is enjoying playing with it (please please dont break it!!!)

Isla has no fear of anything - she loves climbing on the sofa and throwing herself forward. she is still fascinated by the stairs and the gate gets a real hamering now

havent been to soft play for a while - i bet she'll love it now!

Baby geog has discovered his voice! Cheeky sod woke us all yestaday shouting 'get out' from his cot. He has a definate idea of how things should be done, after tea it 'ba' (bath) and as soon he is out he demands 'milk'. Still not walking but just at good at climbing as all the others by the sounds of it!

What was that about Geog? Did he want the house to himself, or was there someone else in his cot with him?
He sounds very funny.

Just wanted to be got up - doesn't he realise its half term and we don't need to be up at the crack of dawn this week?

Oh right Geo, HE wanted to 'get out'. I thought he was issuing a command to someone else
He needs to have a little lie-in doesn't he?
Alf has reallly sore gums today, he's been doing that dog whistle kind of crying, really ear piercing. He has only had a little bit to eat for each meal. Poor old boy.
I think he's kind of stopped climbing so much now, now that my attention has been drawn to it. He was doing it for months, but he doesn't seem that keen anymore.
Oh yeah, that Tomy phone thing, he likes it now, and always plays with it for a whole five minutes. He holds it up to his ear and says 'ah ah ah aah' like Annie from Little Britain.
Hotmama, how are you getting on with Evie? How's the sore boob?

Helloooooooooo (echo)
How are the babies getting on, who's had the MMR so far?
We still have to go for Alfie's

Isla had her MMR in November/December (cant remember exactly but it feels like a lifetime ago). She was fine - just a bit upset after they'd done it and after a couple of magic stars she was happy as ever!

Had a nice chat with her key carer at nursery today. Said how advanced she was with her speech .

That's great about Isla's progress, she's a smart girl.

How does she get on at nursery?

baba had her MMR about 5 weeks ago now... she screamed for 2 seconds and then was growling at the HV so she had no probs with hers

i know this sounds terrible but im waiting for DD's chicken pox to come out so she wont be picking on it

my mum told me that i had it when i was 6 weeks old!

Biglips - moley had chicken pox on my second day back at work think he might be one of those babies that gets everything!

Went back to work today - was a bit of a wreck and had heart failure everytime my phone rang but moley was fine!

Kath, give Moley a big hug, he's a poor old boy at the moment. How is he doing now?
Alf, DP and I have all got a cold, pooooooo!
Alfie has had a bit of a cough for about a week, and over the past few days, I've noticed his lips have been a bit bluer than usual. Has anyone else experienced this?
I immediately went on the Internet - what do doctors know? Pah! It could be related to the cough?
DP has Asthma, so it could be that? I doubt it.
Probably better go and get him checked out.
He has peepeed on his potty twice now, and on the floor 15 times and pooped three times. I've started introducing the potty, in an attempt at elimination communication, but not in a really serious way. He is a bit prone to nappy rash, since teething started, so I figure the quicker he is out of nappies the better for him.
We still didn't take him for his MMR, but I reckon they wouldn't take him with a cold?

maisie - how did you get on at the docs about the blue lips?... as sounds quite alarming!!

well done introducing the potty! as the earlier the better as ill be doing it in the next month or so too

about the MMR.. i had to cancel mine 5 times cos of baba was permantly full of cold and bad teething too (molars) so even if you went ahead and the nurse see alfie with the cold.. the nurse will not go ahead till hes better!

kathh- aww cant imagine chicken pox very young age as my mum said that i had it when i was 6 weeks old!! how shocking is that??

baba is signing Mummy to me (even though she called me Daddy!! abit confusing!!)

well today im off to a liverpool museum (i live in lpool) with baba and meeting a friend also a mumsnetter who got 4 little ones too!! - it will be a day for all of us....

its so cold today - bbbbbbrrrr!!!!

oh and ive got my BSL level 2 exam on 20 th march - i cant stop thinking about it!!!! (gulp!)

please send me good luck vibes as i need it!

sorry - i got mixed up with the names - maisie's baba is moley

Oi, no he isn't Moley is Kath's baby, my baby is Alfie, who looks more like a little bald chicken.

Yes Biglips - moley definately belongs to me

I was quite touched today, got paid & work had paid me my full wages even tho I'd not been there for 3 weeks. They said in the circumstances they felt I'd had enough to worry about without having any money!

Moley?! What are you doing here? He must have read that post and got all confused .
Right, now go home to your mummy! And stop ripping up my newspaper!
I've put a new photo of Alf on the Member's Profile
here
He's watching TV in his nappy.

its hard work keeping up with the names!!

kathh- aww thats was lovely of your boss did that.. you must've of got a good boss!

maisie - i can never trust baba just to be in her nappy as she always pulled it off !!

I'm terrible at remembering the mummy's names. Whenever I go to a group, I always call people 'Hannah's Mummy' and stuff like that.
Alfie takes off velcro nappies and disposables, but he can't get the poppers undone on those nappies. He does try to pull them down like a pair of pants, but I think they are too tight, he just walks about like a hipster nappy boy.
