I don't want to curse us but Alex has slept in his bassinette for part of every night for the past week!! I haven't been as successful during the day tho. We sat outside in the swing this am and he was asleep within 5min.
Hello...We are here and the weather is great!!!! Kaylee did great on the 22 hr trip..We made it in 2 days soo it was 12hr driving the whole way.. Adrienne--great kid pics!! I had to smile when I saw them...
Lauren--We bought an Evenflo backpack which is worth it.It is wonderful cuz DH can ride her on his back and it has a sunshade and we just put it in on go walking every where..I will take a dig pic and post it online...
I am having soo much fun..It is soo strange cuz it is 9pm and I am wearing sunshades still...
Gotta run!!! Kaylee is still awake, and it is late!!!
Karen---pics are too cute
Vicki
Vicki - have a WONDERFUL vacation and I'm so glad the trip went okay!
Karen - cute pic! Is that baby Alex? Congrats on the sleeping! Good job, mama.
Back to the "real" world today. My kids are tired from a LONG holiday weekend. Zoe has been coughing for about 7 days now and since her brother just got over bronchiolitis, I'm taking her in tomorrow. Hoping it's nothing major.
Well, I diverged from my diet (I know you ladies don't much care, but I feel compelled to at least mention it now and then.) I'm back on track though and have the Thanksgiving goal in mind.
Welcome back Adrienne! Hope Zoe isn't too sick. Just hop back on the wagon!!
RR, glad you're able to pop in! I saw an Evenflo back pack in the BRU flyer we got today...looks cool.
We've gotta buy a big car seat soon, like this week. Peter's pretty much bursting out of the infant car seat! I really want the Britax Advantage, but don't have $269. or so to get it, so I think we're going with the Cosco Alpha Omego (or Eddie Bauer) 3-in-1, which is on sale at BabyAge.com for 109.99.
Peter's eating much more now. Today he had 1 cube of carrots and some cereal this AM, and tonight I gave him 2 cubes of carrots and cereal, to equal about a 1/4 c., and he ate it all! Then he drank about 5 oz. of formula, so I'm hoping he'll sleep good!
not able to post much. little guy has been very upset this pm and i don't know why. he's even crying while nursing . we are supposed to have pictures done tomorrow. sure hope he's a new boy!
Hello...
It has been 65 degrees today and us 3 have been walking everywhere together..The backpack is great cuz she can look around and we are hands free...IT is for 6 months and up but at least for 16 lbs and she isnt there yet but I strap her in well...
Well, I had a whole new boy today!! He didn't exactly smile for the pictures but at least he didn't cry!!
Guess what........I am going to be a stay home mom!! We have gone over our finances, things will be a little tight but not impossible. So, I'm gonna do it. I am going to call my boss tomorrow and tell her I'm not coming back. I am nervous. I've been supporting myself since I was 19.....it's a little nervwracking that someonelse will be taking care of me.
Lauren: I'll PM you as soon as I'm done here. Cubes of carrots? Explain please . Sounds interesting. Wow, Petey is ready for a new car seat. At the rate Alex is going he'll still be in his carrier until he is 3!!
RR: Glad you guys are having a good time. We are looking at the Kelty backpack carrier. I haven't seen the Evenflo one.
Adrienne: Yep, that's the happy boy himself. Hope your kids are feeling better.
Karen- Nice getting together with you this afternoon! I'm soo happy that you get to be a SAHM. Alex is such a little peanut, I'm sure he'll be in the infant car seat for a year!
Peter's been sleeping since for almost 2 hrs. on my bed...I keep checking on him to make sure he's not rolling around. He's starting to squirm a bit.
Lauren: I really enjoyed lunch, I'm glad we finally got together. Peter is an awesome little boy. I can't wait until Alex is that active!! (and interactive!) He's been alternating between napping and nursing.
I talked to my boss today. I was so nervous, but she is so nice.
I'm still waiting for the a/c installers to get here. The schedule "window" is 2-7. I hate waiting!!
Yeah Alex!!! Just wait til he starts grabbing your hair...ponytail or not!! Peter has such a strong grip, I have to be careful, because it takes a minute to get him to let go if he does get me! So I usually take him by surprise with the rasberries, or hold his hands so he can't get me!!
Well, the third tooth is coming!! I can see it just slightly poking through, like the size of a pencil tip on the top left!! I just thank God there's been a reason for all this fussing. I was hanging him upside down in front of my yesterday afternoon...because it cracks him up...and had a good view of his gums. I sure hope it gets through soon, so he's in a better mood.
Adrienne....where are you?! Hope the kids are OK!?
We had a busy cleaning day today. Alex was a good boy and sat in his bouncy seat a couple times w/o crying (and a couple w/ crying ). That's about all we did today.
