****Mummy's of Junebugs & Julybugs 2O12****

[MrsT2011]

I can't believe we all have toddlers now!
Just one week till Bs birthday! Big party on the Saturday for friends and a quiet family do on his actual birthday.
His walking is interesting - 10.5 months he took his first steps but still not walking properly. He will walk sometimes but tends to crawl or try and run which so far has ended up with 2 x cut lips (one was so bad I cried) and a cut thumb.
Took him to Legoland on Thursday which was a great day and got back from Turkey 2 weeks ago which was brilliant.
He's also cut another 2 teeth bringing him up to 10 now!
A few piccys -



Love to hear more updates from you all x

Hey lovely ladies, I hope you are all well. To be honest I'm posting for some sympathy, as I'm currently sat in tears. Max is currently mid-leap and teething, teamed with all this hot weather we've had a pretty grumpy baby at times. However he's still his usual cheeky self most of time, thankfully His sleep, however has been pretty hit and miss over the last few days. Max is usually a great sleeper, I can put him down for naps and bedtime wide awake he'll happily chat to himself and go to sleep. He's been really clingy lately and really crying when we put him to bed so we've been staying in the room with him until he settles, as we don't like cc. Tonight has been the night from hell and Max is still screaming!! He's basically been screaming out of sheer temper for hours, kicking the side of cot, we've had it all. We know there's not a problem because if one of us goes in there and brings him out of his room he's all smiles. Trying to cuddle him to sleep makes him more angry! What he wants to do is get up and play, but I can't have that at midnight! We are taking turns trying to soothe him but he's just shouting louder and to be honest I've had to walk away for 5, I feel like a complete failure right now I want my happy content baby back please xxx

Hey taffy. Poor max! And poor you. How's he doing today? Sending loads of love.

Sorry for not updating much recently girls! Been kept mega busy with my little monkey!

She's going great. She's crawling and getting around so quickly it's exhausting keeping up with her! She's still not walking yet but I don't think she will be long. She just needs to get some confidence as when I let go of her at the minute she screams at me ha ha.

Can't believe our babies are all turning 1! Where has the time gone. Makes me all emotional!
Here she is on the move and getting in to mischief. He he.

Aww Hun how is Max today? As much as I love this warmer weather, Harry has been a total nightmare too tired all the time, off his food and generally miserable! I hate seeing him like that and it's so hard but I don't know what to do about it xxxxxx

We don't actually celebrate birthdays hun (I realise how awful that makes me sound. Lol. Its for religious reasons). So not doing anything really. But I just know how emotional I will be. I'm already all sentimental and can't stop giving her kisses!

No that doesn't sound awful atall Hun, a few of my closest friends are Jehovah's witnesses and don't celebrate so I totally understands the religious reasons behind their decisions! I've been feeling like that for a few weeks now, I miss being pregnant and the excitement of the birth! X

Thanks for understanding Les. I don't broadcast it on here as I like people I get to know me for me and see that I'm normal without having any preconceptions.

Religion is very private Hun so it's understandable you don't want to broadcast anything. Yiu are obviously a lovely person though so don't worry about other people's views

Completely agree, we love you for you Spammy, end of Thank you both for your kind words, thankfully Max seems to be getting there, I hate seeing his poorly. We popped to the docs earlier and he thinks it's a viral infection that's caused the rash and it seems to be starting to fade. To be honest I was dreading bedtime tonight after last nights screaming so me and my OH decided we needed to do it as a team and not let him get upset or stressed as it was just stressing us all out. So we put him to bed and both laid on his bedroom floor pretending to sleep so he didn't stress about being left. He chatted for a while and threw teddies at us before laying down and going to sleep. OH also pinched an air conditioning unit from work so we can keep his room nice and cool. With a nice chilled out bedtime at least I feel like I can deal with things if he does have a bit of a rough night xxxx

Thanks lovely. Xx

Glad he's doing a bit better. Sounds like you tackled it really well tonight. It's amazing how they can be so different from one night to the next! I hope you have a decent night tonight. It's hard enough for them to settle in this heat never mind being poorly too poor little mite x

 

[littlesmoosh]

spammy - just wanna say that i think you're wonderful! im not religious, but i would never ever be put off of someone who was, your a great person!

sometimes dex doesnt go down to sleep well either, i literally hold him down with one hand and stroke his face with the other. sometimes its the only thing that works for me, but its horrible having to force him to lie down, but after a minute hes willingly lying down and just enjoying the stroking lol and he nods off usually within 5 minutes.

this weather is rediculas! its just toooo hot, think a good few of us are struggling with it cause our little ones are too hot, its a shame because we should all be making the most of it! ive never been abroad so this is like the hottest ive ever been, its uncomfortable. also im so self concious about my body just now and really struggling with what to wear outside. just wish i could click my fingers and it will all be better!

dexters first birthday was lovely! but i was very emotional, as much as i love him now, i do miss him being little too. wish it was time for another! but i gutta wait! booo!

 

[Spammy]

Thanks Yvonne x

 

[deedee84]

Oooh congrats Karen on baby number 2...how exciting

spammy, as the others have said religion is a private thing but i would never judge someone on their beliefs so i deffo dont think your awful for not celebrating, its who you are hunni

Sounds like all these toddlers are doing ever so well bless em

Im surprised Elexis slept last night, 28 degrees in her room it was i think i need to invest in a fan for her bless!! just glad for once she woke often for drinks of water, usually id be cursing haha!

xx

 

[Spammy]

Meri slept ok too deedee. Eventually that is. She was a pest going to sleep and didn't settle until about 9:30 but I blame the heat.

I struggle to know what to do in her room as she's on the back and the sun is in the back at night but so are all the neighbours sat in their garden being noisy so if I close the window it's too hot but leave it open it's too noisy! I'm going to have to get a fan too I think.

Poor babies. It's a bit cooler here today though and cloudy so hopefully she will settle well tonight!

Hope you have all had a good day. X

 

[deedee84]

Its the same here, Elexis's room faces onto the fronts so theres always cars zooming up the road or youths shouting to each other so having the window open would just disturb her sleep, we also had a cooler day yesterday but then had a bad night anyway as she got a temp with her jabs

Just spotted a June/July 2013 mummies thread. Made me feel really strange! Our babies are just growing too fast!

 

[KarenC]

Gosh, that's scary! T is so grown up these days - not a baby at all any more. She's nearly walking, just needs the confidence and a bit better balance! She's absolutely adorable at the moment, all chatty and sweet tempered largely.

Thanks for the congrats, girls! I feel pretty rough at the moment, but it's kind of nice to have symptoms to remind me that I'm expecting no.2, or I tend to forget. It's a very different feeling the second time round.

Hope you are all doing really well. xxx
