[biglips]

haaaa - thats better!!

last nite, we had my DP's cousin at our house with his wife and 2 kids... there were 1.5 yrs old and 4.5 yrs old (i thought she was 6!! as she takes after her Dad who is 6.5).. anyway got to know them and had a lovely evening.. i went upstairs to get babas bodysuit ready for bed as she was worned out playing with them two.. i came back downstairs and my baba let out an almighty scream (everyone was in the living room with baba), what had happened was the 1.5 yrs old bit babas hand and baba just stood there in her playpen in shock and suddenly WWWWAAAAAAAIIIIILLLLLLLL (awww poor thing!)

ive gotta go as baba is tired and need to put in bed for her nap (cant you hear her?!)

Thanks, he's my first so haven't got a clue !

Oh Oh! I forgot to say.
Alfie has got a tooth!!!!
It's teeny little top of a tooth at the moment.
I hope he will start sleeping a bit better-yawn!!
He keeps rubbing his face with the back of his fist, from his chin to his nose.

Well done Alfie! Just wait till he starts sticking his tooth in you!

morning!!

hooray Alfie!! a tooth is coming at last... baba now got 4 fullish teeths and 4 white tips teeths

i thought it was supposed to be a hot bank holiday!!(fat chance of that as its raining but it supposed to be nice tmrw, check on this just enter your postcode on top left corner

hope you all had a nice bank holiday! (this time last year i was working on the crappy bank holiday and was 37 weeks pg)

oh well, went to a animals farm today with DP and baba, baba was all excited seeing real animals she almost jumped out of my arms to get on a "my little pony" (miniture horse)

i had a weird dream that i was pg with twin boys!!

Lovely day here, we've been to the seaside and had fish and chips!
Anyone taken baby to the hairdresser yet? Think we'll be going soon, perhaps this could be the area in which he excels
He does have another trick, falling asleep in his cot sitting up.

geog - hairdressers!! my baba only got a bit of hair on top! as it only started to grow when seh was 5 months old..but vvveerrrryyyy slloowwlllyyyyy

aaawwww bless him falling asleep in the cot sitting up

Lovely day here as well, but very soggy yesterday. I went out this morning to hang out washing, and made the mistake of putting Alfie down. He immediately got covered in mud and put a dirty old stone in his mouth. He even lost his balance and fell backwards into the mud.
Geo - I don't think a hairdresser would know what to do with Alfie's luxuriant 2 hairs.
He is slowly getting some hair, like Baba.
It's funny because I'm quite dark and Alfie is really quite fair - I think people think I kidnapped him.
DP reckons that babies tend to look more like their dad than their mum, nature's way of solving any niggling paternity issues. 'He must be yours, look at those ears!'
My downstairs neighbour didn't cut her little boy's hair and by the time he was two people kept saying what a pretty girl he was (he is very pretty)
Have you seen Romeo Beckham's hair? Very long, he looks just like his mum - wide mouth frog.
Kath, Alfie is a bit rough when he's feeding, like a mini grater. Not too bad though. I'm waiting for when he bites me, I'll throw him out of the window so that he associates biting mummy with flying through the air and landing on his head. That should put him off.

Grace is a baldy too - mind you dd1 has fine hair (well and me too!) - still at some point she will get some more hair!

She has started to walk - just a few steps, but mostly she prefers crawling or crusing. She has also strated to give me (and only me) kisses - which involves sharing much dribble and snot into my mouth - I can't but help be revolted as this open mouth comes towards me - no it is sweet. I should be able to show you some photos soon as we can at last update the girls' website as I got given a new toy for my birthday - a very exciting SLR digital camera - watch out david bailey!

im so nervous tonite as we've decided to get a babysitter whilst me and DP are at college (mum used to do it but she keeps on forgetting its Tuesday!).. ive never met the babysitter as seh is 18, but she babysits dps friend son who is 2 where mine is 10 months old!!

OHH good luck biglips - am sure it will all be fine! What are you doing at college?

british sign language level 2 and im teaching baba some signs too

Well baby geog has pretty fine hair (no luscious locks) but it is right in his eyes. There is a kids hairdresser here who has toys and videos and gives you a certificate with a lock of hair on for the first cut! I think i'll wait until after DS1 starts school (he's all growed up next week.
Tomorrow baby geog has his follow up hearing test, I don't think he is deaf but I didn't think his brother was at this age either so a bit nervous.

Haha Grace MWAH! I know what you mean Cazzy, it's really sweet, but... Alfie tries to put his fingers in my mouth and I'm like 'No thank you!!!'
This morning I took him out with me again whilst I hung out the washing - the mud had dried up, so he had to crawl along the flowerbeds to get any. He started scooping it up and putting it in his mouth. Euurgh! I don't mind daisies or buttercups, but I draw the line at mud - it was all round his one tooth mouth.
Good luck tomorrow Geo.
I thought about doing signing with Alfiepog, but he really doesn't have a clue. I've been doing a finished sign at the end of his meals for about two months and he just laughs at me - I don't think he has ever done it back.
I would like to know the baby sign for poopy nappy though, it would save me having to check.
Oh and now he eats mud his nappies are totally scary as well.

maisie - well he wont at first as he thinking "Are you playing games with me?" but at this age is perfect to start, even my baba doesnt have a clue at the mo but hang in there if you can try... .. all ive done is "want foods?" and she does laugh at me.

baba smiles at me now showing all her teeth and gum as she screws up her face when she is doing it, it pretty funny

took baba out swimming yesterday as ive bought her armbands and a ring so she seems to be fine in it (her baby swim seat had got a tear cos the weight of baba she is heavy and the swim seat didnt last long, so now its deflated) so she shouting at everything and anyone, got home and the new babysitter took over when we went to college, baba really likes the babysitter as seh was all smiley and playing with her but my error that she had been swimming,i think she was really knackered as she had no sleep, so nearly for 3 hours was "WWWWAAAAAIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL". let hope i havent scared the babysitter off!

Geogteach - hope hearing is test is going (gone) well.
Biglips am sure babysitter was fine - as long as you had chocolate biscuits I am sure she'll be back!

Today as I brushing my teeth - dd1 called out " Mummy Wacey is playing on Daddy's ladder (our step ladder on the landing)" - I thought I had better investigate as she could pull it on top of her and lo and behold she was not only playing with it but climbing on it as well - she was on the 2nd step!

cazzy - aarrggghhhhhhh! mine wont go anywhere near the stairs or steps and she is abit funny on the grass as went to the park and i put her on the swings which she luves then put her on the grass and was staring at it again and trying to kick the grass away

geog- hopes the hearing test goes well

Hello all

Just had a quick scan through all the posts...chimpy has tons of hair and has serious bed hair most days..I love it, we have decided to not get it cut just yet so he will be going for the surfer dude look.
Sleeping is going much better at the moment, I'm getting away with just settling him back down and not having to b/f. He has been going from 7-8pm ish until 1 or 2am without a b/f which is a major breakthrough considering he was only doing a couple of hours.

Biglips...chimpy goes to baby signing classes, he can do the signs for milk and food...what more does a boy need

Maisiemog..my eldest use to eat soil all the time, doesn't seem to have done much harm, looks like chimpy will be going the same way he loves to cram all the little stones off the front drive in to his mouth and swill them around..lurrvely

Babymole has tons of blonde hair - bit of a worry as both me and dh are dark altho ds1 is blonde as well. Babymole has a sprout at the back that makes him look like woody woodpecker!

how do you put a piccy up on here anyone?

Passed the hearing test , which is a relief but it is still at the back of my mind that DS1 did too at this age.

hooray .... is DS1 deaf or not?

I was given a hearing checklist of what to expect in the age (months) range 1-4, 4 - 8, etc and at first i thought that baba was deaf in her right as she was seeming to to be turning her head to her left and not her right (this is when she was 4 months old) but Docs said she was too young to know where the sounds is coming from.. so now she turn her head in both directions at every noise and ive got no concerned too

DS1 is deaf at high frequencies, wears hearing aids and has just got a radio aid for when he starts school next week, he has it hooked up to the telly at the moment and is taking great delight in listening to the telly from the bottom of the garden!
