Its been ages since I've been on here, doesn't time just seem to disappear so quickly nowadays...its a bit scary. Ellie has just got some of her back teeth so has been a bit tetchy on occasions, but luckily she is still sleeping throught the night....thank goodness for Calpol. She never shuts up, al...

Thanks Kipatte, I've just put her down at 8pm tonight...and so far so good...no tears or screaming. I will go up quietly and check on her in a few minutes, I think I will try to get her to bed at 7.45 tomorrow. Fingers crossed that she will sleep right through tonight, I'm feeling a bit weary tonigh...

Ellies naps are a bit sporadic, but usually around 11am for 1 hour and around 2pm. But sometimes, she just won't sleep at all during the day and other times she will just have one sleep for 2 1/2 hours. Normally she would go to bed at 8pm, but recently it has ended up being 10.30-11pm with her fight...

Yes Kipatte, Ellie has so much hair and has had it cut once already, it is a bit of a nightmare to get the tangles out of it in the morning without screams, but once it is done the curls are just so cute....the downside is, although Ellie is still small for her age people tend to think she is a lot ...

Well it was Elllies birthday just over 2 weeks ago and I am only just recovering now! We had a BBQ and decorated the garden with pink and purple bunting and loads of paper butterflies and windchimes. We put up a couple of gazebos as the weather forecast was not good and it had totally poured with ra...

My favourite thing for Ellie was a swing, she is still using it now at nearly 12 months, and keeps her quite content while I am cooking or working in the kitchen

A changing box for all nappies, nail scissors, comb, thermometor etc etc
Again the bumbo was also great

So at the moment I am making paper and tissue butterflies...I've done 3, only another 27 to go! Then its on with the wind mobiles and bunting, Oh I just can't wait its ...

Hi Gals, Well I have just have my best ever Mothers Day!!!! Well as its my first one I suppose it would be. Ellie was so sweet, she bought me a little teddy bear ornament holding a sign with Mum written on love hearts, isn't she so clever! SHe also got me an egg cup and flowers and took me and DH ou...

Carolinagirl: Just ignore them!!! Totally! I had a lady tell me a few weeks ago that Ellie would be dyslexic because she hadn't crawled...what a load of bol***ks! Ellie only stated to crawl a few days before 10 months...they are all so different in what they do. Ellie still won't say mama, although ...

Hi girls, I am so pleased, Ellie is 10 months old today, and she finally started to crawl a couple of days ago. No0w of course I am following her around the house and into cupboards checking what is not safe for nosey little girls. For Ellies birthday, it will be mainly family and just one other chi...

Hey cocoa, sorry you are not well...being from the other side of the planet it is unlikely you caught it from me!!!! :shock: :wink: Mine was sickness...which I initially thought was from the 2 big bars of chocolate I had on the Sunday evening, but then I had headaches and achy joints. I couldnt eat ...

Hi Ladies, Re: Feeding, Ellie is just 9 1/2 month now and she eats whatever we eat but without the salt and obviously chopped up very small, some things she has difficulty coping with i.e. couscous, but she loves tuna with chooped tomatoes and pasta and her favourite of all is pilchards! She loves g...

Hayley, I think...but not totally sure....that you can opt for separate vaccinations, but I think they are not available on NHS and would have to pay for them...BUT I could be totally wrong so the best thing would be to have a chat with your health visitor Mandy x p.s one thing that DOES confuse me,...

I think its great to have opposing views on the imms subject, I know I am somewhere in the middle of the debate and can pick up bits from both sides of the argument. Even IF there is a risk I personally think its worth it.... and I certainly respect decisions either for or against..but the arguments...

Poor Ellie has a tooth mark on her forhead...poor mummy has a wobbly tooth!!!!!
