[Ceebee74]

In honour of Sophie's impending birthday this week, I thought I would start a new thread....

Sophie still in 3-6 month tops and 6-9 month bottoms.

Hi all,

Back from my mini holiday and back to realtiy with a massive bump with two 5:30am wake up calls and a very determined young lady.

Took all 3 shoe shopping on Sat, on the whole a very successful trip. However, from there things went drastically downhill. Took them into Tesco's and Abbey decided she was NOT going to sit in the trolley, she was going to walk/crawl round and had the mother of all tantrums ALL the way round the shop. I was so embarrassed, I just did my best to calm her down, then just ignored her the rest of the way round. She was soo loud.

RE Routines:-

7:30am - 8oz cows milk
8:30/9am - Breakfast Bowl of cereal/porridge.
Various bits of fruit/pasta/cheese etc throughout the morning.
12:30ish - lunch. Usually sandwiches or meat/cheese/bread etc on a plate. Most of it isn't eaten but some must go down.
Afternoon nap about 2pm-3pm (if we're lucky).
5pm - dinner. Whatever we are having and then probably more bits after that.
8pm - 8oz cows milk before bed.

To be honest I don't really know how much goes in but she picks throughout the day.

KZ- fab photos and Chili looks just fab to me. I have never paid any attention to those charts, so I agree to ditching them.

HC- love your new man Troy. He is gorgeous.

Beadmum - well done to you on the gym. I do regularly think about joining, but I never do much more than that. Maybe one day.

Ceebee - Happy anniversary to you!

Annie - good news about your mum.

Hiya to everyone else I've missed.

Here is Ross in his new uniform. He's so proud of it. He can't wait to start his new school.

Catch you all later, I'm off to have a little bit of a tidy up.

Love

Jean

Well I had to get all H's 1.2-2 yo clothes down from the loft at the weekend, as Toby has outgrown most of the 1 yo stuff!!

You know I said I like H being a littlun'? Scratch that. Cannot wait for to grow out of his obsession with my new washing up brush:

H - Can I have it Mum?
Me - No it's for washing up with
H - Can I have it in 5 minutes?
Me - No
H - I'll wait here till you've finished.
Me - H you are not having it, it's not a toy, it's a washing up brush, and it's greasy and dirty
H - Ok. I'll wait here.
Me - !
H - Can you dry it first please?

Having siad that he slept till 7.45am this morning, a first. Toby was 5.45am however, although this is still better than normal, and he did go to bed at 6.10pm last night. I look forward to the days I am not obsessed with this stuff.........

Jeanie - glad you had a fab time. Ross looks very grown up in his uniform (and so much like you )

Am so excited - my sis has just rung with a spare ticket for Take That in December - did I want it?? What a stupid question....

Hope you are all having a good day - the sun is sort of shining here so might venture out for a walk in a bit.

Hello all! I see you've had a meet-up! Lovely pics, looks like you had a great time. And Jeanie - Ross looks a real dude in his v smart uniform

Am a bit worried that some have started on the tantrums already because T is showing the odd sign of rebellion, usually involving the tv remote controls, with which he is currently obsessed.

Thomas is due his MMR soon but I don't want him to have it yet because of my medical history. He can have the separate measles jab here but not mumps, which doctor DH says he must have, so I am looking into having it privately in the UK.

It's been hammering with rain all day, can't believe it's still August

Hi to everyone!

Thomas' routine:
9/9.30am - wake, BF, half a weetabix, fruit 11/11.30am - nap for 1.5-2 hours
1pm - equivalent of 3/4 to a full jar, yoghurt, water from a beaker
4pm - nap, for 1-1.5 hours
6.30/7pm - dinner of pasta, rice, couscous or potato with veg, fruit, cheese or yoghurt
8pm - bath
8.30/9pm - BF and bed

Unless he wakes later (he did a week of waking at 11.30 not long ago) in which case there's no breakfast or morning nap, lunch is earlier and he sleeps for 2 hours from around 1pm.

Annie, at your "10am - a grape". Is that every day?!

We get tantrums over the remote control, phones, mobile phone and the house keys and anything else that he wants but cant have. I keep meaning to video one for you all to see, theyre quite funny with lots of screeching. Weve just had one now as DD and I have been making cakes and I wouldnt let him put his hands in the melted chocolate.

kbaby-Abbey had one this morning cos I wouldn't let her dip her dummy into my coffee!! The cheek!! Defo her father's daughter in the grumpiness stakes.

Toby has them if he can't have a bottle (not a milk one, any other kind, my bottle of water, Harry's fruit shoot, anything like that) the remotes (is not fooled by old decoy one) any mobile phone, or is being made to lie on his back so I can change his nappy, he is impossible to change at the moment.

took the liberty of starting a new thread
