November 2012 - Summertime, and the babies are sleeping (mostly with a few notable exceptions)

Apparently O will be 6ft+ if he carries on at this rate I am an average 5'5" and his dad is a typically short Chinese twat man. Heaven knows where he gets it from. I do have long limbs though and a short torso, O seems to have inherited the long limbs but added a long torso into the mix too. He is going to be a proper stunner.

J will get clothes and a Thomas rucksack for nursery. And a hungry caterpillar pull along trolley for holidays and sleepovers (I can dream). I bought the bags today from a link on the Christmas Bargain thread. For Christmas the three of them will be sharing an iPad as DH is getting mini so they can have his. I can then have mine back.

DH is now choosing his new Skoda. He wants whistles and bells. He will be disappointed.

If J continues to grow at this rate he will be 10ft and 40 stone

Haha! I have fairly long limbs but a micro torso. Maybe p will have lanky both! I am 5ft 2 and DH is 5ft 8. Mil is 5ft 1, mum 5ft 4. Everyone is teensy.

Jonas seems to be channelling his short fat maternal Gran rather than my Mum who was 6ft and a size 8 whilst four months pregnant with twins.... Damnit

Ad break on the Returned woo it's awesome!

Both my boys are on course to be 6ft 3 to 6ft 4.

Feck.

Link to trolley VQ please!

I will be watching that later so no spoilers! I think I know what is going to happen though......

DS1 needs a new computer for high school. He got one last christmas. For going to high school.

It was second hand, and broke after 2 months. You could say I was pissed off...

So going to get a laptop for him. Fecking expensive kids.

DD1's growth curve is pointing towards her being about six foot. SIL is 6ft so I suppose not a surprise. Tis the Tahitian side coming out I guess. LO is a shortarse like me I fear..

I have a romantic image of O being a strapping 6ft+ man and being able to look after his old mum. I shall do my bit of course and make sure I am a mum being worthy of being looked after unlike my mum

www.character.com/clearance/final-pyjama-clearance.html?p=1 not sure if links work on this, but I am sure you will get the gist

chasing if you were my mum I would pop you in my pocket like mrs pepper pot.

My mum used to say to me that I was "short and fat. Like yer granny"

From the way p flings herself around I am currently expecting her to be a gymnast!

L is on course to reach his dadas 6ft7 height as his dad and step bro are all that height! I am a midgit 5ft3 so L will be taller than me soon..

Thanks VQ! Will have a nosy! I need a bag for O so I don't have to send my precious changing bag to go to MIL's!

Pikz I realised tonight as I shouted at DS1 for waking O up from his nap that DS1 is taller than me. He's 11. I'm 5ft 2.

:(

Pennie we got told the growth charts aren't meaningful for predicting future height until they're 2+. As much as I joke about Jonas being short and tubby - I have no idea about the future - there are 6 footers on both sides and also short arses.....

I am 5'9. DP is 6'3.

I dread to think what my neighbours think of us after this weekend

I also have the cybex atom, it goes up to 13kg, and N is a long way off!
I must measure N and see how long he has gotten, I know for the past two months he has not grown in length. I must mention it to the drs too.

I'd love to have the Infant Gavision.
Evil

I'll do O's length tomorrow. I try and do it on the months but have forgotten this month due to epic meltdowns driving me to distraction!.

All is peaceful for now in crisp acres. They are chatting happily with friends in the garden. Weird. Neither DH or I are shouters and we don't argue really so it is a bit weird. Yesterday we were giving p her dinner in the garden and I felt odd being there. Not at all in a PFB 'she mustn't hear the shouting" way but that we were invading their privacy.

I really hope all is well. They are nice.

Am off to Edinburgh tomorrow with p on the train. Chooo choooo!

Haven't posted for ages, sorry. But keep up on FB mainly. Anyway, wanted to say for ds1's first bday we bought a Thomas the Tank Engine ride-on thingy. 15 quid ish I think, but best thing we've ever bought - he still loves and uses it two years later, unlike most of his other toys. No idea what we'll get Teddy, as we can't get another one of those!

I'm 5'7 and DH is 6'1 - MM is your DP really 6'3 - he seems Ads' height? it's a bloke thing isn't it to add a few inches My Mum was 6ft and my Dad is 5'6 - she blamed the 1970s as he wore platforms and she was a barefoot hippy when they got together.... DH's Mum is only 5 foot so Jonas could be any height!

The Returned finale was think I might buy the Mogwai soundtrack.

Evil we have that car seat - it's ace - J will be in it until at least the New Year I'd guess so am going to hold on for the sales. As for Christmas I wondered about a smart trike but my sisters' two never used theirs and it'd be a bit of a white elephant if we get a bad winter. I'm erring towards a box and some tinfoil too. He has so many hand me downs and will be spoilt by the in laws. I've got him some awesome fox felt slippers which I fell in love with. Clothes and books will be what I'm hoping for. and DH is a smart enough cookie to know that I'd best get an end of BF spa trip
