A new place to chat about our beautiful babies growing and playing

[KLou111]

A new place to meet ladies :)

Omg she waited till you got there to tell you that liz??!!

Is it her top tooth?

Joshua was just an absolute fit to get to sleep. Screamed from 7:20 till 8:35. I tried all sorts and in the end had to rock/cuddle him till he was almost asleep then put him in his cot. I even left him to cry for 10-15 mins. Felt awful and it didn't even stop till I went and picked him up :(

Well she had messaged me on Facebook, but I hadn't been on to look, just too it for granted that she was going to have it when she said she was, silly me!

Poor Joshua, do you think it was temper or not feeling well? How did he sleep in the night?

Violets been waking at about 12 again and having 5 ounces, I wonder if it's a growth spurt, I hope it doesn't last!! I have usually only just got into a deep sleep and have to get up!

Bloody rain again today, I am out tonight with a freind, she won tickets to see a comedian at Bolton house, no idea who he is, never seen him, but it's a free night out!! Seeing as its my birthday tomorrow and I am staying in to do my ironing while Chris is at the racing, he's got to go for work tho so can't help it, but we are going to peterborough on Sunday.
It's sodding fathers day isn't it, I have got cards but that's all, what do you buy the men who have everything??

Morning all,
That's a pain Liz with the buggy.
I've got Rob some nice German beers, box of heroes chocs, Chilli peanuts, and some boost bars as he loves them lol.
We don't do presents unless Xmas or birthday.
Hope you have a great night out and have a happy birthday x x

Poor you and Joshua iwish did he have a temp?

All good here, told the girls at swimming yesterday we're moving and only be there twice more :(
One of them is preg and due next week (18 months between them) and one of the others stayed with us after for lunch and she told us she's 16 weeks preg, 20 months between them.
Has made me VERY broody, but Rob still put his foot down and said earliest trying new year which is fair enough.
Gave Euan cows milk yesterday as running low on formula so thought would try. There's mixed things on the net about it, so spoke to mum and she said just try him. He doesn't really have much now anyway, about 5oz in the morning if I'm lucky and 5-7 at night. He wasn't that keen on the milk so will mix it with his formula tonight.
He took about 3oz last night of cows milk and still slept til 9am when I woke him. Tempting to not even bloody bother at all with milk in the morning, I'm just concerned its got stuff he needs in it though.

violet is exactly tha same 8klou*, she has 5 oz in the morning, usually drinks 2 but make 5 just in case, and has 7 at night, usually drinks 6. but thats it, not a drop any other time, but she does have yoghurts every week, she doesnt seem that keen on cheese either, but will keep giving her bits. you can force it down their necks toh can you!

will check back later. you have given me a good idea for chris's present

Ooooo what ya get him Liz?
Good to know it's not just me struggling with the milk. I don't know why we can't just give them a drink with something diluted in it with the same vitamins!
I mixed 3oz formula and 4oz milk tonight and Euan took 5.5oz so better than last night.

What is with this friggin weather???? We're anxiously watching our neighbours ash tree on our boundary which is about 8m from our house but probably 50m high which is getting blown all over.
We've been telling the twat for years it needs to be cut to half its height.

Just got the footy on, I don't really care for it and robs not a footy fan but he watches England. Shame we're not back home for it cos he'd be out watching it with his mates and I wouldn't have to lol!
Magazine is at the ready!

Am going to get him some kopperburg, he likes that and it's better than getting him nothing. Not a lot but well be alright.

Went out last night to see a comedian, good job we didn't pay for the tickets cause he wasn't very good. He was like a funny man for the upper class thespian people" if he could say 10 words, he would say 50 instead. And not very funny. You live and learn tho hey!!!

Neighbours can be pains in the bum!!! Mum and dads neighbour complained to the council about their new conservatory, they didn't thin they needed planning so didn't bother, but just replaced what was already there with a new one made of white PVC, the old one was wooden and rotting away and unsafe. But the house is a listed building and turns out they did need planning, but her next door forced the issue and even tho she can't bloody see it, they have had to take it down and start to replace it it's another wooden one. She is such a pain in the arse, proper stuck up and sticks her nose in all the time. Mum and dad even had to move a sky dish that was down the garden because it was 6 inches into their air space!!!!? Wtf!!!!!
And when mum and dad applied for planning to turn some garages at the bottom of the garden into a hous,e she tried her best to stop it, but they got planning anyway.
And once that's done they are selling up anyway and moving here with me, you would think she wouldn be glad to see them go, not hold up!!!

Oh and another thing, she attached a tree to mums house wall so stop it from falling down, and when mum said, remove that, she said she thought it was a party wall. Er no you teat, it the sodding house wall!!!

Rant over

Happy fathers day to all our partners, hope you are all having a lovely day!?

We have been to Peterborough, met some friends for dinner and browse shops. Now are you sitting down??? I didn't buy a thing!! Yet again, nothing was nice enough for me to part with my hard earned money!!

Omg liz she sounds like a right muppet!! My mums neighbours are awful too. They call the police about all the houses on the street when anyone parks on the shared drive and even accused my parents of trying to flood their loft!

Can't believe you didn't buy anything!! Bet you are surfing the Internet as we speak tho lol.

Nick liked his fathers day prezzies. Got him a cup, mat, keyring and we made a little mild this that says 'I love you daddy' with Joshua's pic on a stick lol. We made it at the sure start centre. Didn't really do much tho. Went to my mum and dads but my dad was racing so he won't see his prezzie till tonight. Only got him some slippers like because he doesn't want us buying him stuff because he has everything!

Joshua slept in till 7:45 today which was very nice of him . Think he's going to crawl in the next few days because he has done a couple of crawls today. Yey!!

Hi both glad you had a fab day yesterday.

Omg Liz are you feeling ok, shopping? No money spent?? Lol

Glad nick liked his pressies iwish
Sounds like he got spoilt :)
And well done Joshua on his crawling!!!

All good here. We went out for a drink by the river, then down the road for some food. Was a nice day out. Euan didn't sleep at all, good as gold though.

The last couple of mornings we've gone into him around 8.15/8.30 as he's not made a noise (except the odd bang!) And he's just sat there in his cot with his teddy patiently waiting for us to get up and get him. He's such a blummin good boy. An hoping it stays that way when we move, 2 weeks eek!
Must say it's not as easy with a 10 month old who doesn't sit still and is into everything!!

Robs mum and dad coming tomorrow for a few days. They're bringing the plastic boxes robs brother used to move, so we can pack a lot more.
Euans rooms looking very bare :(

Awww klou he's such a good boy isn't he! Joshie always makes it known that he's awake lol.
Sounds like you all had a lovely daddy's day.

Not long till you move!! Are you getting excited?

My child will not take milk in a cup or bottle! So he hasn't had any milk this afternoon because I didn't offer him boob

Ahh how frustrating for you iwish, what's the next step? Just keep trying? I don't know anything about this so can't help.

How's everyone today? It's been lovely here, quite warm, we are going to Lincoln show tomorrow and it's forecast rain all day. I had to go and see lulus headmaster to tell him she was going to be having the day off school as there is no way she would be able to not tell anyone where she'd been. He was quite nice about it. She has had about 4 days off in total in the whole 3 years she's been at the school so it's not like she's always off.
I never usually ake her out of school but I really wanted to go! And I have put the baby in nursery for the day too. I would love to ake her, but if it is wet then it's not much fun for her sat under her rain cover all day. So if it's raining when I get up she's going. If its dry I shall take her.

Yeh I'll just keep trying. If he doesn't take it then he will just have to have some fruit or something while I'm at work. Im crap at expressing so that's out of the question.

We are going to eureka tomorrow to meet some other mummies and babies. Should be fun but it's a 45 minute drive if I don't get lost.

How you have a good day tomorrow. What is the Lincoln show about?

Just checking in. Got the in laws here til tomorrow so am not being rude.
Hope all ok x x

Hope you are having a nice time with ILs klou.

Have been to eureka today and it was lovely. Joshua enjoyed himself but has only had 30 mins sleep all day so just feeding him then he's going to bed. He's knackered bless him

Can't wait to put my feet up!!

How are you liz? Did you have a good day?

Hi guys. Men down pub and mil doing crossword so just popping on.

How was the show Liz? Did you buy anything? Are you going to the game fair in July, robs going to go. I don't think I am going to, will see nearer the time.

I went to eureka years ago iwish when I was at school!! Loved it, thought it was really interesting and some if the things were so clever if not a bit bizarre!!!

Have you tried a doidy with Joshua? Just keep at it, he may take it eventually. Euan nor keen in milk out of a cup but happy with juice out of it, odd.

Well all good here. Euan started putting the right shapes in his shape sorter earlier, after we showed him obviously.
And.....feel bad about telling you this as Rob doesn't know yet as he was at the pub......Euan took a step!!!! Eek!!!!
It was only 1, he was walking along the sofa, let go and took a step to me :o his nanny saw it too so it wasn't just me.
Rob will be so gutted :(
And at swimming he stood on the first step in for about 20 seconds 3 or 4 times! I think the water helped which was halfway up his calf, but still......
Getting there :o

Wats at eureka? I have heard of it, but don't know what or where it is.

Had an ok day, rained all day tho, stopped for literally about 5 mins, but that's it. Would have been lovely if it was dry.

Its all country stuff, iwish, dogs, poultry, horses, sheep, cows and all the stuff that goes with it!

Has Joshua gone to bed ok after his day out? Did you find it first off or get lost?

Do you have anything planned while the in laws are there klou?

It's 2 weeks today till I go to benidorm!!!

Just told Rob, is in denial and is gutted :(

Bet you're so excited Liz!!!

I went when I was at school too klou. It looks better now tho.
Ing can't believe he took a step!!! Are you going to tell rob or wait till he does it again?
No not tried a doidy but the days he's not had the milk he's just waited till tea time! I'm still feeding him tues,thurs,sat and sun. Will try him with the formula again tomorrow.

It's a museum in Halifax liz it's fab. It has it's own website, you should have a look. I got there ok but took the wrong turn on the way home lol.
At least you enjoyed your day even tho it was raining. Did violet go to nursery? Yey 2 weeks, bet you can't wait!!
The Joshua has gone to bed ok. He was in bed by 7:30. Couldn't keep his little eyes open once he started his feed.

I am so sorry klou, I wasn't ignoring your news, the post wasn't there when I started, honest!! I must have been writing at the same time as you!!

So well done Euan!!! They really are so clever. I have a shape sorted for violet but not even got it out from under her cot yet! She got it at Christmas, so I really should.

Not sure about the game fair, it's a big one isn't it? I think Chris is planning on but with my cousin.

Well seemed to spend a fortune yesterday but not got slot to show for it, cost £30 for violets nursery, £25 to get in the show, about £12 on food, and got lieu a few bits but nothing much.

My bil and sil live in Halifax so I bet they have been, and it's not a million miles away from us, might go. But then got so many places to go if the weather ever improves!

We are going to butlins on Sunday for the day with some friends, lulu will love it. And not been swimming with violet for weeks so she will too.

I won't hold it against you Liz!
Yeah the game fair is a big one. If the weather is good I may go, but prob stay and enjoy a day on my own with the little fella.
Hope you enjoy butlins tomorrow.

How's Joshua and his milk iwish?

All good here, Euan started waving yesterday. It just absolutely melts my heart, it's so cute!!! I thought he was just waving his arm about a first, but I did it back to him and he did it back again. Then today we just waved at him randomly and he did it back.
Milk transition complete. He's been having cows milk on it's own for the last few days now, and I've even upped it 2oz in the evening. I'm not bothering with the morning one. He's having 9oz at night plus 2 yoghurts a day and cheese some days.
Still having to wake him in the morning (at 9!!!) lazy thing. His nanny and grandad couldn't believe it when we were all up and dressed and Euan wasn't lol.
Did a step tonight, he stepped from one sofa to the other (let go obviously) and Rob saw that one. I know it sounds bad but we just haven't had a chance to teach him any more we've been so busy.

Got to get some lino in the en suite as Rob went to change the floor tile today and the next one is cracked too. We think it's the floor underneath moving so he's not going to bother changing it for it to happen again.
The other one goes under the loo too so it's a big job.
Almost packed which is good. just got a few clothes left out and bath stuff, a bit of kitchen stuff and Euans cot, our bed etc and that's it really.
Can't wait now :-)

When's the actual moving date?

Is not bad you not teaching Euan more. You teach your alot more than any other mother I know!

I have been trying to teach violet how to kiss me for weeks, I keep saying ' giss a kiss' and kissing her on the mouth, over and over again, then on Friday she actually did it back, not pursing her lips but coming at me with an open mouth ready for a kiss!! So when Chris got home I tried to make her do it to show him ,and she wouldn't, and hasn't done it since!

Violets been waving since April, and like you, I thought she was just waving her arms about, till I actually clicked into what she was doing!!

Awww that's so cute Liz.
Euan gives us mouth open sloppy kisses, but not if we ask him yet.

Hope you've enjoyed/are enjoying butlins.

Been lovely here today, hope you got it nice.

I'll be back at 'home' a week today, I'll leave after breaky probably once eueys dressed (prob about 10.30, the way he's sleeping in at the moment!!)
Robs brother is leaving the midlands with the lorry that morning, so he'll be here lunch time and they'll load the lorry. Then they're both coming back Monday morning, tenants are moving in here Monday afternoon, and hopefully we'll have the keys not too late Monday so we can unload the lorry and start unpacking before eueys bedtime.
My mum and dad will look after him while we're unloading if it's not too late.

Am actually looking forward to it now as most our stuff is packed in the lounge or conservatory.
Won't be doing this again in a hurry!!!

Ooo, forgot to say, tooth 5 coming, one next to his top left :)

When it's just you 2 in the car, do you have him in the front with you? I can't remember when I put lulu in the front, but turned off the air bag so it's safe for them, and then I found it easier to keep her awake cause she was a sod for going to sleep in the ar, then not go to bed.

Had a good time at butlins, but god it was busy. We got there just after 10 when it opened and there was about 5 cars in the day trippers car park so wasn't expecting it to be busy, but got into the pool and it was mega packed. Violet didn't like it one bit, till we had been in there about 15 mins, she just clung to me the whole time, it was just far too busy and noisy for her, abit different to our local pool!

We didn't stay in the pool that long, I just kept imagining all them bodies in the water with their bits all swishing about and it was making me fell odd!!! Don't know why cause I never thought about I before!

Violet was awake all the way there, and all morning, she finally gave in and went to sleep about 2.30!

How are you iwish??
