  • EA- :T

    CAFC: With regards to development: Ayana can lift her head on her mat although shes discovered sucking it is much more interesting, she has always had a strong neck from birth though. She doesnt reach out to grab things but will try if you place them on her tummy. She puts anything in her hand to her mouth, including our fingers! (She will even spit her dummy out first.) She follows some objects but gets bored pretty quickly and would rather stare at the lampshade/window. She has just started staring at her feet a lot which is very amusing to observe. She has also been giggling but it takes a lot of effort to maker her laugh- plus, she ALWAYS gets hiccups as soon as she does which is rubbish as she stops. L sounds absolutely fine. We have been putting Ayana in the V pillow though to help her get used to being upright as she hates lying down due to being nosey. Its great for supporting her back/neck and it means she can sit next to us on the sofa.

    LMAO @ Button's cat.

    I said that before about EA- i would also have a nervous breakdown if I fell pregnant in the next few years! Very impressive that you feel confident enough to have them so close together.

    Keira just broke my radiator, she's been told so many times to not climb up and hold onto the top of it to support herself. It's so she can see out the window, stands on the ledge and holds on to the radiator, well the top came off and she went flying and hurt her bum. Now she is having a screaming fit because its rainy and windy outside and she has to wear "jeans"

    So she is wandering around sobbing with bursts of "I hate jeans" "I can't slide on the slide fast with jeans" Ah hoo hoo hoooooooooooooooo.

    If I let her wear what she wants she will freeze to death. You can't win with Keira and her bobble hating (yes she won't let you do her hair in ONE pleat, as its like Jessie from toy story and she has a deep loathing of her and her 1 hair bobble :rotfl:)

    You know what I totally love that E is my bench mark baby..... Can always rely on you and E to let me know he's doing alright :D

    Right what can I bake today people???

    LOL aww :)

    How about a chocolate cake :)

    Yeah BM I know, like when I was finding it really hard, I was thinking I am such a !!!! mother, all I had ever wanted in life was children and I cant even handle the one I have

    I am going to have SUCH a hard time trying to get OH to agree to another baby, even in 3 years I think he will be adament he def doesnt want anymore, and that makes me very sad

    I just keep thikning to myself E was hard to deal with, that if we had another one and he has the same things as E we would know what to do etc, and I would be hving a csection second time around, theyve already told me I can have one if I have another baby so I know the birth would be ok if that makes sense

    ETA: Has anyone been abroad late October - is anywhere still hot?
    Actually when we were children, if we told Mum we had a belly ache or felt sick then the first thing she would ask us was if we'd had a pooh... I tend to do the same thing now lol...

    And I've been to Tunisia at christmas and new year and it's been lovely and warm... I think most countries have websites you can look at that tell you the average monthly temperature...

    Saw the midwife this morning... It wasn't my usual one, she was lovely, I made her laugh loads and ended up spending 40mins in there with her... I wish she was my normal one!!!

    And Caitlyn has just gone down for a nap absolutely lovely... I think it has something to do with the 2 breakfasts + 2 slices of toast + half a granny smith + a bowl of scouse... I've obviously been starving the poor girl the past few days... Hopefully she'll have a couple of hours before I have to trudge down the school again...

    Beenie... Do you want me to give you a ring in the morning? lol...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    jakesmummy - I did type the code in the first place :( at what point does it ask about the freebie? Not sure we need anymore books (even as gifts) I really wanted the gruffalo set too.

    it takes you to another page after the code to select your free gift, think there was still a choice of 3 gifts last night, maybe try in another internet browser? i got myself a cookbook too, i'll have a flick through it and if it looks carp i'll give it someone for xmas :rotfl:lovely arent i!

    Aw cafc i remember when jasmine first proper giggled it made me all teary, she was laughing at jake throwing something in the air *shrug*, she's been really giddy today, went for a walk earlier and she was laughing away in the pram! x
    i dont remember jakes first giggle though..
