October 04 - New Year Toddlers

[maisiemog]

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

moley had his check up at the hospital today - i knew he was fine but its nice to be told that he's ok. Have to go back in August just to make sure his development hasnt been affected. They thought it was good that he'd had a high temp and not had another fit - they were a bit bothered about how long his fit lasted. For the record he weights 11.2 kg & is 81 cm long.

Bought him a little gardening set today so he's been busy trowelling the carpet!

Masiemog - think your plan sounds like a good idea, thats what we did when we went to a wedding when ds1 was about 9 months old.

That's great news, about the no further fitting. He sounds sooo cute 'trowelling' bless. Moley is fab!
We will be castigated if we don't appear with Alf for a bit.
It's funny because people don't realise (or seem to have forgotten, in the case of the grandparents) what a hassle it is to take a small child to a formal do, even a restaurant. It's like forget starters, forget pudding, just order a pizza and eat fast. The penny has dropped with one set of grandparents, and the last meal we went for was lunch at a huge italian restuarant well-known for it's baby-friendliness.

Moley doesn't seem to have suffered from his ordeal, when we were at the hospital last week DS2 was only 9.9kg. Hopefully get some results soon, he still has bruises from the blood tests

what were they testing him for? Was it for his various intolerances? Moley has to for some tests as they think he might have at least a milk allergy.

Poor old little geog, is he still demanding out in the mornings?
When will you hear about the results?
Kath, did you think Moley had a milk intolerance?
Alf is having reactions to something, he keeps getting rashes on his face and back. I found out tonight that he reacts to boot sensitive baby oil gel, put it on and boom, his back was covered in little red bumps.
It's so hard to monitor his diet now, it's so random and varied. It could just be that he's touching his face with something he doesn't get on with.
Is this just part of babyhood, the whole over-reacting to things, because the immune system is sorting itself out?. I read on another thread that a child's immune system takes 7 years to develop fully.
Biglips how's the job hunt going??

the milk allergy thing goes back to when he had reflux quite badly.

Where is biglips?

We've been having great fun the past few nights. Alf has found out how to climb out of bed and keeps getting up and running out of the bedroom.
Tonight he was sooo tired, but he still clambered down. This went on from 7:30 until after 10. I ended up sitting on the floor next to the bed, throwing Alfie back on to the bed saying 'lie-down!'
He finally gave in and lay there and then started to snore.
What a palavar! I hope this is a phase.
Oh he still talks a load of rubbish, main words are 'wossat' whilst pointing at stuff, then repeated 5 times whilst pointing at the same thing. It doesn't matter if you tell him what it is, he just keeps saying 'wossat?
Also 'isit' which I think means what is it?
WHo knows what he's on about?
He's been stacking the old ELC bricks up compulsively, and now stacks 7 wooden blocks, which is amazing (I think) for a little chap who can only say 'wossat, isit'.
He loves playing football and can kick a ball (to me, he thinks), which I have to then chase, as it has actually gone in the opposite direction to me.
And he's started to throw things quite far, which is a bit worrying, since I don't enjoy being hit by flying potties and the like.
Still haven't had the MMR, I think they gave up and stopped calling, so I suppose I had better call them.
Oh and tonight he did a peepee on the potty and then went off and did a poop on the rug in the hall, which dp then stood in.

Hello, havent been around for what seems like ages. Had so much going on. DS been ever so smiley, beaming from ear to ear most of the time. Have been doing lots of organising for the wedding too. Its all finally coming together.

Settling into our house well too.

Ds spent another night in hospital after vomiiting for 3 days, he is better now though.

Doing well at nursery and has some new splints for his legs so when he is doing his standing physio he cant bend his legs. He is getting better at weight bearing with them.

Anyway Im off to bed now, been on earlies this week and im in charge cos my manager is away.

im here and im gonna read back since i was last on!! - oops!!

DD got weighed today........... 31lb 3oz!! eek!!

maisie - tweenie is mental at times as she loves putting her Daddys big work hat on and spin round and round in the living room till she falls! and everytime we both go to the park or soft play centre... she loves diving head first on hte slide - i could feel myself going all white!!!!!

how is everyones wedding getting on? as ive just found out that Dp doesnt want a registry office wedding as its not his taste!! - eeekkk!!! i dont want a big white wedding as i get too nervous as ill either be a fainted bride/ blushed bride or a runaway bride

jbad - your DS is ssooo brave... arent they supposed to be painful wearing those splints? as they are marvellous things and how long will he be wearing them?

ive placed a deposit down for DD at her nursery for a full time place to become avail whilst ill be working full time but thats life! hse loved the nursery and not as clingy these days - not for quite a while

maisie - have you tried the Simple moisturier for babies as its really good for my DD

maisie - about dp stood in the potty!! bet he wasnt impressed!! is your alfie in a bed or a cot? if cot have you lowered the mattress down? as my DD looks like a ballerina with one foot hooked on top of the playpen and then she just dangled there like a monkey!!! - hmm not impressed

oh and she can open the doors in the house now!! - GOD HELP ME!!!!!

oh and she is 87cm long

Hi girls - Jabdgirl its nice to here from you!

Here are some photos from our wedding (\link{http://www.mcshane.org/wedding\wedding photos}.

Must go as am brushing my teeth which are falling apart - I NEED A DENTIST for expensive dental work - sigh!!!!

cazzy - BIG CONGRATS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and you looks absolutely fabulous in that wedding dress.. fab photos too (i wanna get married now!!)

i was listening to tweenie in the other room singing Twinkle Twinkle little star and signing now - aawww how sweet!

Hi all
DS2 has now been prescribed antibiotics in case he has a bowel infection, still no results from the allergy tests. At this rate he'll be 21 before he has mmr.
He still wants to get up and the crack of dawn but first likes to fling everything out of his cot so i've started dumping stuff in there just so it takes longer
He is much nearer to walking and spends most of his time careering round the house hanging on to a trolly with one hand but resolutely will not let go!

congrats - you looked gorgeous - didnt you fancy posting the "boudoir" pics then?

bugger - wrong wedding!

no, bugger, right wedding

no, bugger, right wedding

erghhh not the boudair pictures - I think you might all get a fright post two terrible monsters!
