Hiya, klou, have a lovely time!!, busy week for you! That musical monkeys will be good. When lulu was a baby I took her to tambourine tigress which I assume must be he same sort of thing. She liked it as long as. I was sat or stood right next to her, but got her out and mixing with other kids.

Will check back later, just doing tea for my lovely childres

Has he gone earlier klou?

We had to do a u turn on the bottle situation. Thursday night I think was the first night with it in a cup and she hardly drank any then woke 6 am sat morning and would not go back to sleep so had to get up. Friday night she was awake between 4.45 and 5.45 then fast on when I had to get her up for nursery. Cup again Friday night and she woke at 6 am, same Saturday and again woke at 6 Sunday morning. So Sunday night I thought sod his, and give her a bottle. She still woke Monday and today earlier than her usual time.
I don't know of its the cup that's making her wake, or her teeth or the jabs she had but am going to leave it for a few weeks, see if she sleeps in longer again.

I hate getting out of bed before 7.

On Sunday I was meeting a fiend in Lincoln at 10.30 and cause I was up from 6, I. Felt like I had done a full day before even leaving the house!!

Iwish · 12/09/2012 19:53

He diiiiiid it!!! Walked across the kitchen to me. So proud I could cry!

How are you very lovely ladies?

Are you and chris friends yet liz?

How was legoland klou?

xxxxx

KLou111 · 12/09/2012 20:43

Told you before he was 1!!!

Just on quickly. Got home 7, Euan fed, bathed, bed, half hour later wide awake currently watching road runner in the lounge as he slept 2 hours in the car!

KLou111 · 12/09/2012 21:32

Me again. Euan only up 10/15 mins, fast asleep again phew!
Legoland was grest, although Euan about 10cm too short for most things which was a shame as it was absolutely dead, no queues or anything. We were even told to stay on rides if we wanted!!
Friends gave us the tickets as they couldn't go (got them free with the sun or something) glad they did as we couldn't go on a lot.
The rain held off too which was just perfect and threw it down as we got home!
Euan loved it, so lovely seeing his face with new things. Got loads of piccies will put some on fb when I get a chance.

Well, good on Joshua!!!! Told you. More walking from now on, and in a month he'll be running rings round you!! Euan doesn't crawl now, only up steps :)

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 12/09/2012 22:01

Well done Joshua!!!!!!! Like klou said, he'll be running soon!!

Glad you had a good day klou, a lot of people got them tickets out of there. I have never been, having girls, lulu wouldn't really be that bothered I don't think, especially if she got the choice to go somewhere else.

And no iwish, we are still not friends!

Iwish · 13/09/2012 19:38

Glad you had a good day klou bet Euan loved it. Will have a nosey at your pics when you put them on. Have you done anything exciting today?

Crap you still aren't friends liz sounds like he has some serious grovelling to do. Have you done anything good today? How's violet?

More walkin here today! He's done a few steps loads of times, still wobbly tho. We went for a walk this morning then to the sure start centre this afternoon. He loves it there.

Please pray for nice weather on Tuesday ladies xxx

lizandlulu · 13/09/2012 21:15

Well have had a productive day!! I put violet in nursery for an extra day cause I have had a load of stuff to do. Mum and dads house is going on the market and the estate agent was going round this aft to take pics of it, so had to go and help her move a load of stuff to make it look good in the pics, then had the dentist this aft, so put her in nursery so I could get on, I do feel bad about doing it but one day extra won't hurt her.

Will keep my fingers crossed for Tuesday, are you planning anything for his birthday?

Iwish · 13/09/2012 21:21

You did have a productive day! Don't feel guilty. She was probably happy playing. I think to myself that if it was Joshua he would be bored with me taking him from place to place when he could play at nursery.

We are going to take him Blackpool zoo so I really want it to be nice. We are going to take his trike. Can't wait. We have just wrapped his prezzies Grin

lizandlulu · 14/09/2012 17:22

Are you going to see the illuminations too? I was only looking on the calendar today to see when I can go for a couple of days! I do usually go and take lulu but didn't go last year.

KLou111 · 14/09/2012 17:48

Hiya ladies.
Nothing exciting yesterday iwish, went into 'work' with Rob to do some painting for something else to crop up and I sat around bird for 4 hours, then had to do the painting today. In laws had Euan yesterday, my parents today and overnight. Gutted as really wanted to go swimming yesterday and musical monkeys today.
Off out in a bit though with hubs.
So pissed off right now, meant to be out with a friend tomorrow night, so I text her last night to ask her the plan and she's cancelled. This is like the 3rd or 4th time now and I'm sooo annoyed!!
Another friend cancelled on me last Tuesday and another one Monday just. Time to make some new friends!!!

You'll have a great day iwish for Joshuas birthday, I was an emotional wreck!! He'll love the zoo! Well done him for his walking :)

Sounds like you've been busy Liz!!! Bet violet didn't even notice :) Sorry you and Chris still not good :(

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 14/09/2012 21:28

Is it the 3rd or 4th time in a row she's cancelled? People like hat, I just leave them to it and wait for them to contact me. I did that with one of my friends and havent seen her socially for over a year. Nice I stopped calling her, I didn't hear from her. Never mind.

God my tongue is killing me. You know when you gets sore spot on it, like when you've burnt it on something? Well I have got 4 spots on the end on my tongue!! Really bloody painful.

And violet was up in the night for a whole hour, crying on and off. I thought she wasn't going to go back to sleep, so face in a give her a bottle!!, first one in the night for weeks, she went straight back to sleep and ten didn't want to wake up at 7.30. She best not make a habit of this!

Iwish · 15/09/2012 20:54

No not seeing the illuminations liz, Joshua will be tucked up in bed by 7:30 lol. think we will get there about 10:30 and prob get home about 4:30. And omg I know what u mean about the little spots that hurt!! I've had them a few times and they hurt like hell lol.
Did violet wake in the night for milk again?

I think I will be a wreck on his birthday klou. Just thinking about it now makes me a little teary.
I hate people that always cancel on you!! We have some friends that either cancel or just don't turn up. If they do turn up they are always late. They should have been here today at 4pm and turned up at 5:45! No text or anything.
How's Euan?

Joshua is doing really well walkin. He walked across the living room. I put a video on FB.

lizandlulu · 16/09/2012 21:07

Yes she woke again the next night, and then last night she was sick all in her bed. Tis was about 10 ish. She wasn't poorly, she was al smiles even laid in her own sick!! So I had to completely change her and th bed, then it happened again about 11, changed her all again and put her back with a drink of water that she didn't want to let go. Checked on her sour 5 mins later and she was wet from the sodding cup! I had given her one of he only ones that leak when it's put on its side! So she finally went off about 11.30.

Fine all day today, then was abit sick after dad had given her some chocolate at about 4. But been fine since. And st least last night she didn't wake for milk in the night!

KLou111 · 16/09/2012 21:29

Oh no Liz I bet you couldn't believe it when you had to keep changing violet!!!
Hopefully she's just going through a phase and she'll be ok again sleeping soon.
And most of our friends are pretty crap, unless you call them, nothing gets sorted (not just us, they don't see anyone else either!) some people just are so lazy!!

Seeing a friend tomorrow though who I haven't seen in 18 years, can't wait!
Robs got Euan so I've got a 'day off' :) He bathed and put him to bed tonight too while I did my ironing lol. still going to bed at 6 although he woke at 6.15 this morning as he couldn't find his dummy. It's attached to a short piece of ribbon on his top and it became undone so was under his cot. Went back off for a hour after that. I've made sure it doesn't come off tonight!!

Yey to Joshua iwish clever little man!! Meant to be nice this week, fingers crossed :)

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 17/09/2012 18:29

How was your meet up with or friend? What did rob and Euan get up to all day?

I ran out of sleeping bags when she was sick, I only have 3, thought that should be plenty!!! So she ended up in sheets and blankets which she kept kicking off, but she slept fine.

Yes it's ment to be nice here too, chilly, but I don't mind that.

I'm off to the cinema again tonight with a friend, wow I am getting out a lot aren't I!!

lizandlulu · 21/09/2012 18:29

Where are you all??????

I went to the cinema on Monday and only watched the same film that we watched the week before!!!! My friend and me have abit of a Tom hardy obsession!!

Well the baby is doing a couple of steps! About time! She can stand for about 2 mins now, and will take a couple of steps before launching herself into your arms, but it's a start!

She fell out her high chair on Wednesday, face first onto the tiled floor, there was loads of blood in her mouth and she screamed quite abit, but calmed down after a cuddle and abit or milky bar. She had a bloody area behind her front top teeth, I don't know if her bottom ones went into it, or if she knocked the top ones, and had a bump on her head, but yesterday she was back to normal, no marks or anything. I just hope her teeth are ok and not got any damage, they look normal.

How are you all?

How was Joshua's birthday iwish?

Iwish · 21/09/2012 19:28

Hey liz omg poor Violet! Glad she's ok now tho. Was it far for her to fall?
Lol at you seeing the same film. Did you realise it was the same one??
Well done violet for taking her first steps!! She will be off soon. Joshua walks all over the place now. Can walk from kitchen to living room and back again Grin

Joshua's birthday was fab. He was spoilt and has loads of toys. We went to blue planet aquarium for the day and took him found on his trike.

Joshua has just been having his boob before bed and he just lay there clapping while feeding lol!!! Either he was v happy with him milk or he was saying clever mummy for feeding him lol.

lizandlulu · 21/09/2012 20:35

Yes we knew it was the same film!!! But it was such a good film that we wanted to see it again!!! And it was cheap tickets on Monday's so good evening all round.

Good boy Joshua! Doesn't take them long to get going does it! I have a friend who's got a boys month younger than violet and he's running about all over he place now after about 3 weeks of walking.

Well violet was stood up in her highchair, usual around here, naughty I know but she screams when she's strapped in. The highchair is usually pushed up to the worktop, but was pulled abit away from it and she kind of lent forward to put her hands on the worktop and cause it was pulled away, she went straight through the gap! God she went with a bang. Not nice at all.

KLou111 · 21/09/2012 20:54

Evenin all :)

Omg Liz time to call the social on you lol!!! Poor poor little violet. Hope she's feeling better. How did she fall out?
Huge well done on her taking her first steps!!! Woohoo!!!
Is Tom Hardy the bloke you post piccies on on fb?

So glad you had a fab day for joshuas big day iwish. He has the same trike as Euey :)
Just watched you vid of him walking, clever little man!
How long are you carrying on bf?

All ok here. Been out today to musical monkeys. Was good, just nursery rhymes with actions and props really. Euan just kept running around not really paying any attention lol. I felt a bit bad as the lady I was sat next too had a not yet 8 month old daughter and she was crawling! Anyway Euan went over to her and pushed her over and she banged her head! He got a little telling off just so it looked like I was doing something about it, but he doesn't know does he. Anyway, the lady just chuckled and said don't worry about it her daughter will get him back one day lol! Turns out she lives on the next street from me, despite this being on the other side of town, so we're meeting at the local brewers fayre on Monday morning as they have a toddler group :)

Euan keeps waking up at 6 which is not good. Been putting him to bed later, bit still wakes up earlier. Has a cold at the mo, think cos of his mmr, they said 10-14 days after he may get one.

Robs aunty getting married tomorrow, turns out its just a day thing so done by 5. Is an hour away so gonna drive and have a night out back here. We asked some friends if they wanted to join us 2 weeks ago so they could get a sitter (girl week younger than Euan). Anyway, they live near the town centre, but we want to go to our local. It's 35/40 min walk to town and they said they could only get away for a couple of hours. So we said come to us as they could drive if only having a couple. Anyway, they said no and if we changed our minds about going to town to let them know. Funnily enough, it"s the same distance for them to walk!!! Anyway told them that and said they couldn't be bothered! Now, I would understand normally, but they've NEVER walked/driven/got bus to ours ever, even before Wales. We ALWAYS drove. We, since being home, have walked into town numerous times, Rob more or less every Friday night. And seeing as they'll only be out for a couple, it would only be fair for them to come to us.
So pissed with them. God some of our friends really don't deserve to have any!!!!!

Yes klou, that's Tom hardy, fit as fuck!!!!,

How lovely that you have made a new friend, especially with baby too, nice to get out and meet people. I m going to take violet to a toddler group on Thursday I think ,a friend goes and she says it's good and they even get fed!! Reason enough to go!

Yes klou, call the social services!!! I feel awful about it, but it's happened and can't undo it. I was feeling really really bad all day, you know th feeling ,like bad in the pit of your stomach kind of feeling. Then told Chris it had happened and he said, aren't you a bad mother. Totally serious. Like I didn't feel bad enough

KLou111 · 21/09/2012 21:47

Oh shit I've shrunk Robs fave wool sweater. You can't buy them either, he got given it off Porsche. Shit shit shit shit. Panicking!!!!!!
