emma aww sweet. Me too fuzzy they're amazing. I do love newborns but there are boring compared to older babies. I wore at 5 to j standing in her cot staring at me. She then bent down and scooped up her teddy and muzzy and held them out for me Grin every bfeed at night she cuddles her teddy and rests head on muzzy (else her wad and my arm get all sweaty Grin). I was amazed at her clear communication

FuzzzyDuckosaurus · 23/06/2012 11:06

Aww Smile
S doesn't really have a teddy that she cuddles. She does like labels on things and looks for them on her soft toys then plays intently. I was the same as a baby/toddler, love that she gets that from me Grin. My friend bought her a taggie that she likes in the car. Keeps her busy for a while!!

Penelope1980 · 23/06/2012 11:12

A really isn't into soft toys anymore, but loves blocks and wheels as well as banging things like C scheh. It is a pity cause I loved him cuddling his soft toys! He may again though I guess ...

FuzzzyDuckosaurus · 23/06/2012 11:24

Yeah we have moved up to bigger toys now. Have this fisher price thing that is a good height for her to stand at. She is enjoying it and playing with the balls that come with it. She is also starting to bang things together, loves hitting things off the mirrored wardrobes as it makes a very loud noise Hmm

emmazed jacob would/will play with his willy too. it was about this time last year it started cos dp was in afghan and i sent him an email saying, you males start playing with your favourite toy young!

its not only boys who do it though. isobel likes a rummage. Blush

also jacob as this thing were he says ta da, and points. it means tell me whats it called? and we have to play it about his willy every nappy change! no wonder they become obessessed with them.
jacob: ta da?
me: jacob's willy
jacob: ta da?
me: jacob's willy
jacob: ta da?

until i get the clean nappy on and fastened up!

eva's favourite things to play with our the wet wipes- preferably sucking one.

and a toy chuggington train that see runs over my prize chunky wood cost a fortune table Hmm

she also likes to crawl through and over the chair legs- they have a piece so you can put your feet on iyswim?

MamaMaiasaura · 23/06/2012 13:34

Samuel is 4 and a half and still Willy obsessed Blush he pops it put regularly and often when least appropriate... Like to a lady delivering next order " LOOK AT MY WILLLLLLLEEEEEEE LAAAAYYY-DDDEEE" I just "smile and wave".

J special soft teddy is one she's holding on fb... A head sewn onto a square of soft plush. I don't get the bodyless soft toys but she likes it

Big toys, age wants the boys lego and cars etc Confused she's got fisher price zoo train which she chases and the vtwcj table and the push along thing that says "hello puppy"..

She stood on her own today twice now today. Samuel already freaking at her crawling, he's going to struggle with her walking and running.

ipswichwitch · 23/06/2012 14:24

May see you there next year cheshire :)
N much better today, is pooping as I type!! So that's 3 days in a row now. Nursery have been writing it in his diary with smiley faces next to it Grin
His favourite toy atm is a wooden spoon that he likes to bash off everything, and his Sophie the giraffe. He loves that so much he tried pinching one off a little girl at nursery!

Ha ha Sassy I thought my phone hadn't loaded properly this evening too Grin I guess everyone was out enjoying the sunshine/football/Sunday? (delete as appropriate)

sassy34264 · 25/06/2012 05:51

pebble definately not nice weather here.

im here to moan. went to bed at 11pm, isobel woke crying at 1pm and then jacob at 4.50pm. and this woke up eva!!! give up at 5.15am and came downstairs. normally i would just spend the morning lolling on the couch but its playgroup on a monday- groan.

i cant be too mad though as eva lent forward and gave me a kiss on the lips this morning, without me having to say 'give mummy a kiss'
soooo cute.

dont all faint, but i actually have something good to say about dp!

he's agreed that my mum can come to italy with us in sept and he has offered to pay. awh- i love him sometimes Grin

sassy34264 · 25/06/2012 05:53

mamma ha ha at your dc2. not sure if i would find it hilarious or be mortified! Smile

LittlePebble · 25/06/2012 06:58

oh Sassy Sad for no sleep, but great news about Italy. Where are you going and how long for?

sassy34264 · 25/06/2012 07:40

turin for 4 weeks! hopefully

bit apprehensive about what dd1's school are going to say.

sassy34264 · 25/06/2012 07:43

and i may actually be in jail!

long story to do with exdp.

Penelope1980 · 25/06/2012 08:22

Sounds ominous sassy!

FuzzzyDuckosaurus · 25/06/2012 08:56

sassy Shock jail?!

Overreactionoftheweek · 25/06/2012 09:45

Very jealous about Italy but not the jail bit!

Had a horrible fright this morning, H fell face first off the sofa - the thud was horrible to hear and then he did that awful silent scream :( his poor little nose is all purple and skinned on one nostril. He was diving for his toy he'd dropped, so no more sitting alone on the sofa for him!

Hope everyone had a nice wkd

MamaMaiasaura · 25/06/2012 10:26

sassy Sad for bad night, bad one here too. Envy about Italy ( I love Italy ) bit what's that about jail?!

overreaction poor you and C. It's so horrible when they get hurt, and the silent prescream scream is the worst.

Got 3rd tooth here all at the bottom and 4th just about there. She's going to look like minion from megamind Grin

Ds2 has new obsession, star wars. Been playing with Lego star wars figures all weekend and reading the books. I've ordered original trilogy. I think the newer ones are too scary.

Been ebaying and am new to it. However sold ds1 scooter for him but the buyer hasn't paid or made any contact. It had 103 watchers 17 bids and over 1600 views. I put it on when it was free listing weekend but have the feeling the buyers changed her mind as 124 inc pp

CheshireDing · 25/06/2012 10:30

Ha ha Mama P is always pulling up her dresses I expect she will be doing that to the delivery many too!

Sassy If you go to jail can it be next week after we have had coffee please ;)

Very Envy of your FOUR WEEKS in Italy, I am only getting one weeks holiday

Those of you who have ever taken a baby on a plane did they cry on take off/landing due to their ears, or is it a myth?

Over That happened to us the other day, I guess there are many more bangs and falls to be had yet though :( Hope H is okay now.

CheshireDing · 25/06/2012 10:32

Make sure you write bad feedback if that's the case Mama. You can always offer it to the next lowest bidder too.

We put stuff on over the free weekend, didn't sell P's wet suit but have got someone coming for the chicken house tonight.

emmazed · 25/06/2012 10:32

Hope all ok sassy

On a better note, how do you get Eva to kiss you? Joseph has no idea how to kiss, and certainly not on demand!

MamaMaiasaura · 25/06/2012 10:34

Sorry overreaction silly iPhone turned the H to C

MamaMaiasaura · 25/06/2012 10:39

cheshire I didn't know to put pay immediately on there and wish I had as ds1 was so excited it had sold. I sold my old iPhone on buy it now and the buyer didn't communicate and then said they'd paid in fullHmm they hadn't. It was all very odd and their first transaction. I relisted and sold it with pay immediately. I'm just gutted for ds1 as he'd been waiting all week. Sorry eBay hijack Grin I'm a leettle bit hooked. I sold the bumbo, j swimming costume and zoggs wrap and ds2 baby raincoat. I really don't feel ready to sell the other baby stuff.

Cool you sold chicken house :) did you get much interest? I sold.... 9 concrete paving slabs Grin for 1.24, get me! Lol.

emmazed · 25/06/2012 10:52

Oh no over I am sure he has already forgotten about it. I still feel sick about when j fell off the bed. That taught me nit to leave him too!

When did the auction end mama? Give them a few days to get themselves sorted then send a nice message adding if the still want it, and giving them a date to pay by. I have sold a fair bit and you need to be super nice to people to make sure you get good feedback. If they don't get in touch then you can sell it to the next bidder, but make sure you tell eBay why otherwise you get charged twice which is v annoying.

ipswichwitch · 25/06/2012 13:00

never fear sassy, if you end up in jail i'll send you a cake with a file in it so you can escape for your hols. so long as you take me with you!!!!!! does eva do proper kisses too? N just opens his mouth as wide as possible, grabs both my cheeks and tries to eat my face Grin

oh no over poor H:( i'm sure though they forget about these things long before we do. its horrible when they do that "winding up for a big scream" thing. thats what i call it!

big news! N said his first word today and i missed it :( he is at his aunts house today, and she says he's been babbling all day, then went quiet and suddenly came out with "mam" :) (i live in the north east, we're all mam not mum so that makes sense!) i'm just devastated i missed it
