I usually go on while she's in the bath, she sits in one of them seats, but she's like a mountain goat and can climb out of anywhere!!! Can't walk yet but boy can she climb!!!! And still only 4 teeth!

Iwish · 05/09/2012 19:49

Hiiiiiiii. Still here, stuffing ones face, will comment later xx

lizandlulu · 06/09/2012 17:19

Are you still ramming iwish??

Iwish · 06/09/2012 19:18

Haha yeh!!

How are you liz?

I've been off work this week so been spending time with Joshua taking him places. And wednesday guess what I did..... Dropped him off at nursery then went back to bed till 1pm!!
Oh and I love my new car, so much easier to get Joshua in. And it's soooo much better on fuel.

How's violets chest? Joshua is still bloody wheezy. Annd sorry you and chris aren't getting on :(

How are you klou?

lizandlulu · 06/09/2012 21:29

You idle git!!!!!! You both need reporting!!!!!

I'm only jealous! I was ment to be putting violet in nursery an extra day next week so I could help mum clean her house from top to bottom( it's over 3 floors) cause they are selling, and I was getting all excited shout a child free day, even though it would be spent cleaning! Ow sad is that! She don't need me to now tho.

Violet isn't wheezy now, it's cleared up, and her cough is gone, just th permanently snotty nose now.

Oh and her thumb is going all funny from being sucked! She doesn't suck it lot, just when she's tired, but it's going all wrinkly and the skin is going all soft. I don't know what to do about it. I said to mum about putting some of that nail biting stuff on to stop her. But it's abit cruel to a baby!!!

And found another tooth tonight! Finally. She was crying and being generally Mardy so mouth was wide open so I thought I should have. Feel, and she's got one slightly poking through on the left towards the back.

What's Joshua eating nowadays? I keep getting stuck for idea of what to give her. Has to be quick to cook for the days when I'm at work.

lizandlulu · 06/09/2012 21:59

Oh and didn't give her. Bottle tonight, I put her milk into a cup with a spout that she usually uses in the day. She had about 5 sucks and that was it, she does usually drink more and I hope it doesn't affect her sleep, but I would rather take it off her sooner rathern than later. Lulu had a bottle till she was about 2 and a half! Don't want to repeat that.

KLou111 · 07/09/2012 13:36

That's great with the cup Liz they will drink less milk with a cup but I think that is the point as I think they're meant to eat more past 1 and drink around 10/12oz milk.
Yey for the tooth!!

All good here, but both got our dreaded mmrs this afternoon. Totally dreading it (Euans not mine) as I hope it doesn't upset him too much. It's our 15th anniversary today and 5th wedding anniversary tomorrow so Euan is at my parents tomorrow til Sunday. Not that they mind getting up in the night, they actually love it, but be good if he settles ok. Robs out tonight so hope he's ok.

Re food, I've just made a batch of spaghetti bol with little macaroni instead if spaghetti. You can get kids bolognese sauces if that's better for you, then whack in the meat and pasta together.
I also have made a chicken, carrot and diced potato stew, done in veg stock. Also done pork casserole with pork chunks, carrot, mushrooms and can of chopped toms, with pasta again.

Glad you like your car iwish fair play going back to bed!!

How did you both get on klou?

KLou111 · 07/09/2012 18:31

Well I had mine first and my ARM instantly went numb and achy for a few seconds. Euan had his, small cry, then I gave him a biscotti straight away and he stopped crying and been normal since, so far so good........

OP posts:
KLou111 · 07/09/2012 18:31

Don't know why arm is in caps!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 07/09/2012 20:26

Good, glad it wasn't too bad for you both! Is your arm still numb? I know it's for the best but it's so horrible seeing them being stuck with needles.

No bottle again tonight, and used a different cup, one with handles on, she again had about 5-6 sucks and that's all. There is no way she is having anywhere near as much milk as she ought to be having, but does have yoghurt every day.

KLou111 · 07/09/2012 21:42

No my arm was literally numb for a few seconds, but god knows what goes through their poor little minds :(
Euan fell fast asleep on my lap while I read to him and not heard a peep yet.

Don't worry too much about the milk, as long as she's having some. Euan actually drank his whole cup tonight which he never does. It holds about 150ml (doesn't say ozs) and prob has 75ml at night normally and 100ml in the morning so whatever that is.

Just watching married to the moonies. Fuck ups!

OP posts:
KLou111 · 07/09/2012 21:45

Oh and I give him his cup starting about an hour after his tea and he drinks it in bits til he goes to bed and I do his teeth so over about an hour rather than just give it him in one go x

OP posts:
KLou111 · 07/09/2012 21:53

Spoke too soon, can hear a groan.....

OP posts:
KLou111 · 07/09/2012 23:29

Well, it was a one off groan, still asleep now and that's where I'm going, night night x

Iwish · 08/09/2012 14:33

I'm sure I posted last night!!

Yuk to the injections klou. Do adults get side effects like babies? Has it still not bothered Euan?

liz When I give Joshua a cup with milk in he only has a few sucks but when I bf him he takes about 10 mins worth of milk, strange isnt it.

Am at a soft play centre again, I swear I live here lol

KLou111 · 08/09/2012 17:45

So pissed, only been out for 3 hours x

Hehe!! Grin

Iwish · 09/09/2012 18:05

Oooh Joshua did 2 more steps again yesterday, forgot to say. He can stand unaided for a while and we stood him up and he walked to nick from me!!

How is everyone?

lizandlulu · 09/09/2012 21:11

Well done Joshua!!! Is he any better with the ventolin syrup?

Well guess what!! I have found 3 more teeth! But they are side ones, like half way between the back of the gum and the front. Not the ones next to the front teeth. She's got 1 either side at the top and one just poking through at the bottom.

Right, I seriously think my husband has issues! He's been funny for weeks, Mardy and moody, never in and expects me to do everything. Today he went to sandringham game fair, lulu had a party this afternoon so had no problem with him going, so he goes, and gets back just after us at about 4.45. Then he gets the shooting DVD he's bought and goes into the caravan to watch it! Er what's wrong ith the house telly??? I went and asked him nd he said that lulu would moan at him if he watched it in the house so I suggested he comes in and spends some time ith his kids who he hasn't seen all week and watch the DVD when they've gone to bed, and my reply was a grunt.
So I came in and bathed violet, 5 mins later he came in, lulu was whining about how her party isn't on her actual birthday, so he said something along the lines of, well I'm not going to do what I was, and went out again.
He's been sat in the conservatory for ages, just sat there, now he's going out shooting with his mate. We are not speaking. Suprise suprise.

Seriously he hasn't spent more than 5 mins ith violet all week. Why doesn't he see what he's doing is wrong? Why does he think it's alright to treat us like his? I have said again and again that I am not putting up with it and we could end up splitting up, but when I mention anything about splitting up he looks at me like I have gone mad!

Honestly if it wasn't for the business he would be gone. Not that his family would notice.

Iwish · 10/09/2012 13:16

I think he's a tiny bit better liz but not much. Think I'm going to take him back to the docs Thursday. I want him to be well on his birthday!!
See she's sneaking teeth in so you don't notice lol!!

And men suck! You need to give him a kick in the arse Liz (easier said than done tho I suppose) I have to ask nick to spend time with Joshua. Yesterday I asked him to play with him as he was going to bed in 5 minutes. His response was 'I don't want to play with him. I've had enough of him today'!!! Cheeky sod!! I don't say that when he's being a monster!!

At work today after a week off. KILLER!! But Ive still got 15 days holiday to take by end of December which equates to 5 weeks for me! Woohoo!

lizandlulu · 10/09/2012 16:41

You have got 5 weeks off work between now and December??? Wow!! That's like a week off every other week!!

Me and him have not spoken all day, unless about work related stuff, it's very strained. I am going to the cinema tonight ith a friend, had to book the time off about a week ago tho!! Even tho he hasn't been in all last week apart from Wednesday night

KLou111 · 10/09/2012 18:13

Omg you both have naughty men!!!
I said I was going to toddlers today as Rob was meant to be going out today, didn't, so thought would give him some peace and he asked to come lol (think he wished he hadn't though ha ha!!)

Seriously though Chris is way out of order Liz he's got just as much responsibility as you when it comes to your girls so I don't see why he assumes you'll do everything. Really, one day you should say, right in off out now, see you later and if he says he's busy tell him tough, and go out. Even if you've nothing planned, just go out for half hour or so then he'll hopefully appreciate you a bit more, and his girls.

And I can't believe all violets teeth!!

5 weeks iwish wow!! That'll be fab.

Well, just put Euan to bed AN HOUR EARLY!! He was knackered poor little man, even screamed in the bath which he loves. He just wanted to go to bed. Fingers crossed it's not this bloody mmr delaying a reaction! Will see how he goes, cos if he sleeps til normal time, might do it every night!

Been to toddlers today, so much better today than the other week. Went to another one. Anyway, there was about 6 or 7 other mums and all but 1 had 2 kids so it was lovely.

Might be meeting a friend for coffee with her little girl tomorrow, then Legoland weds :) Meant to be swimming thurs but Rob may need me for something at 'work', then Fri, they've just set up this thing called Musical Monkeys not far. Opened last Friday so going to that. Looks fun, they're all over the country.
Busy week!

KLou111 · 11/09/2012 14:02

Well, Euan slept his normal 13 hours, so up at 7, so earlier than normal, but must admit, we actually preferred him going to bed earlier lol! Might try it again tonight as got to be up early anyway for LEGOLAND!! Woohoo!!!

How's you both x
