Lovely place No Hun, I really like the title :)

Seriously Dd will not stop screeching and screaming at anybody. It is driving me mad Grin
I am hoping by the time we do the next thread I will look at my first post, laugh wisely and believe it was just a phase and she is not really a little madam, princess Grin

tiredfeet · 01/01/2012 22:57

Oooh new year new thread I like it Grin

NoHunIntended · 01/01/2012 22:58

Phew! Glad you like it, Ty. Smile

Aw! Bless her! I am sure it is just a phase! Grin

Good timing NoHun as dd took her first steps on Christmas Eve - three! - and then today did eight in a row a few times. I know some of yours have been walking for months and months, so we've just got in under the wire. She's into everything, including ds's toys which he's not madly keen on Grin.

Ok, need some advice about totbots. I got my Cherrylicious which looked lovely, but was sorely disappointed the first time I used it as it leaked really badly after less than two hours. Not just wicking but properly wet. The blurb said it didn't need any other booster but do you guys use one? I've used it a couple more times but only for a short period each time.

NoHunIntended · 02/01/2012 01:25

Hurrah! Well done, Junior ft! And aw bless re wanting her brother's toys! :)

I don't use a booster for my TotsBots EasyFits, they have always been brilliant. I think they say all babies are different, and some nappies just don't suit some bottoms. I don't know what to advise, really. If you have a booster about, you could try it, I guess.

Floozie our dc always seem to be on even keel.
Dd took her first independent steps a few days ago and can manage 8 in a row.
She only falls down due to pure excitement that she managed it and claps :o

Tyson86 · 02/01/2012 11:42

Meant 5 in a row, sorry thinking of your dd to much :o

MockingbirdsNotForSale · 02/01/2012 14:02

Great thread title NoHun Smile. Congrats to your DDs on the walking Ty and Floozie it never fails to make me smile seeing DD racing about.

My parents have just left. DD is asleep- feel rather lonely! Work tomorrow and I seriously and not interested! I love being at home with DD and wish so much it could go on forever.

NoHunIntended · 02/01/2012 15:53

Thanks, Mock. :)

Yay for all the walkers, now here come the talkers! (Praise for thread title gone to head!)

Dd3 prefers to say 'uh' Hmm

NoHunIntended · 02/01/2012 17:19

:) DS's favourite word is oosh! :)

OP posts:
Tyson86 · 02/01/2012 20:42

Dd when she is not screaming tends to say adada it is rather cute :)

NoHunIntended · 04/01/2012 18:34

They are getting cuter and cuter, aren't they! :)

DS comes and gives me a huge squeeze when I ask for a cuddle, I love it! Arms wide, squeeeeeze. Bliss. Kisses too.

HarrietJones · 04/01/2012 19:14

I got woke up the other day with a kiss!

MockingbirdsNotForSale · 04/01/2012 21:16

I'm getting kisses too Smile and DD's form og hug which tend to involve climbing me. DD'd favourite words are HIYA! said all the time, yes, push (because she likes to push the light switch on/off) Dada, nyum nyum and Traaceee (the childminder's name) Grin.

NoHunIntended · 04/01/2012 22:54

Gotta love the kisses!

DS says 'go' a lt. DH has fun conversations with him along the lines of:
DH: On your marks, get set ...
DS: Go!
DH: Name a board game.
DS: Go!

Heh heh!

I get kisses too, one day soon I am sure she will close her mouth to kiss Grin

HarrietJones · 05/01/2012 07:56

Know what you mean Ty , got a lovely yoghurt one the other day!

Anyone else's toddler do zombie running? Arms out ,going 'arghh' Grin

tiredfeet · 05/01/2012 19:33

Ds's favourite word is "doggo" (for doggy). Every dog we see necessitates him bouncing excitedly, pointing and shouting doggo. Even a girl dressed up as a dog Grin

I Love the kisses! I get them all over my face each morning, have to wipe off the slobber!

HJ, ours runs sometimes with his arms outstretched BEHIND him, like he is about to take off! He climbs everywhere, sooo adventurous. Little scamp!

Dd3 is only little & has to get a box to get on the settee!

Tyson86 · 07/01/2012 16:49

Dd has not walked again since those 5 steps Hmm but she can climb on to the sofa unaided and get on my bed with a stool, which she puts there.
She still shocks me, I see her as a baby but she is a toddler now Grin
