Hellobee Boards

@cmomma17: happy birthday to your LO!!

@Adira: that happens to my lil' guy too - toddlers are strange, unpredictable creatures!

@Silva: aw poor girl!! glad the drugs gave her some relief, and like blackbird said, hopefully the worst is behind you now!

@travellingbee: enjoy your wedding and time away!! J is almost getting the hang of opening doors, but ours are the round ones and not the ones with the handles so he still can't quite get it yet.

@jodyblair: excellent! That's exactly what I was thinking of doing, just waiting for his eczema to clear up a bit so I'll be able to tell if he's reacting. (We know he is also sensitive to other things but haven't been able to figure out what...so frustrating).

@cmomma17: happy birthday!

@Adira: B has been ridiculously clingy the last few days...no idea what's up with that. I'm calling it a phase! (I hope )

In other news, we went to the zoo this morning, and B was in AWE. So much fun. I always feel bad that we don't do as much stuff with him as we did with N, but I think dropping the second nap has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

@Adira: Oh yea, he has a temper and STRONG opinions!! He's a passionate lil guy, meaning he can go from very happy but veryyyy mad in about two seconds! I hope Xander is in a better mood for you later today!

@baby boy mom, Oh yay! i can't wait to take E to the zoo next week. Last time, we went at Christmas for Zoo Lights and it was really more for us than her.

@Baby Boy Mom: We took R when she was like 2 months old so I can't wait to take her soon. And to the aquarium! We are going to TN over Memorial Day weekend and going to that aquarium too.

Sweet Jesus!!! The bottom molar is in. And even better the top two are half way!!!

@Smurfette: yay, nearly done with molars right?

B has had a not so great day. He has a terrible cough that woke him at night a couple of times and I think that last canine is still bothering him. He hardly ate anything at breakfast although it was basically only his favorite foods. He's down for his first nap now (after it taken nearly 1h of me rocking him to sleep) and I really hope he'll be back to his happy self after it.

@Pumuckl: Yes how is B doing?

@Smurfette: You just can't catch a break!

@Baby Boy Mom: I don't know about a wonder week but R is obsessed with climbing things lately.

@Adira: Oh man! Hope you feel better soon!

@ALV91711: FWIW I don't remember my eldest being wild with his climbing, so maybe you'll be spared the pleasure. B was also in our bed for many hours last night...wishing both of us restful nights tonight...

@Silva, Happy birthday to T!!!!

@adira, glad you're feeling better! Our household had that a couple weeks ago, so awful. Ugh.

We also had a shit night of sleep last night. Babies are such weird little creatures.

@smurfette, well she was up from 6:45-8:15/8:30-ish, then up from 3-4:15 or so. Usually she's a 7:00pm-6:00am sleeper. Just a WTF night

Sorry to have been pretty absent for easter! But goodfriday and easter monday are holidays here so my family came down and we all hung out at my grandma's place.
B is doing a lot better. The weird rash he had friday disappeared by sunday and he was slowly getting better. Yesterday he was back to his smiley self again. It was still a lot of faces for him to deal with and he got tired a lot earlier than he normally would. So he was sleeping in his stroller a lot. Other than that he did fine and I was just glad everyone got to see the "real" B yesterday
Now I just hope we'll not have too many teething episodes ahead of us. He's still missing some of the occlusal surface of his top molars although all peaks are through. The canine has also made its grand entrance.

@Smurfette: Sorry to hear R (and her mama) aren't getting any break on the teething front! Hope the canines are less painful for her!
@Silva: Happy Birthday to T!
@blackbird: Sorry, about the rough night. Hope tomorrow will be a "non-WTF-night"!
@Adira: Glad you're feeling better. I heartily hate stomach bugs! I like the first t-shirt.
@ALV91711: Hope Isaac went back to sleep for you and didn't keep up that insane waking rate.
@travellingbee: How did your wedding go? Did L do okay with you not being there?
@Mrs. High Heels: B also has these 2 second mood swings. I just try not to laugh all the time.
@Baby Boy Mom: I remember my mum telling me that my little sis was also a little daredevil. Maybe it’s a second born thing… But it nevertheless sounds really scary!
@AprilFool: How's H doing?

@Pumuckl: Great update! Glad B has his energy back and is all smiles again!

@Adira: Awe, I love this!! Instagram video, please!! I just love watching Pete zoom around the floor with his little cars.

@ALV91711: @Silva: @blackbird: Sounds like we are all having some rough nights this week! Ugh! Pete woke up at 11:20pm last night and could not fall back asleep. We tried everything- rocking, snuggles, back rubs, milk, water, CIO- and it still took over two hours to get him to sleep. So tired today!

Yes, here's hoping no more WTF nights for anyone tonight!

@Silva: Happy Belated Birthday to T!! How did the day go?

My exciting news is that Pete has FINALLY started babbling like a normal baby! He still hasn't said any real words but he is making a ton of different sounds and practicing his sounds a lot. I know some babies take longer to say words and I'm okay with that. I was worried that he hardly ever even babbled. But now, I just love hearing his sweet little voice gab all day long.

Aside from last night, we had a really nice five day holiday together. We had baby playdates with our new neighbors, went hiking, and overall felt like we were in a good groove. It was so hard to leave him to go back to work today. 39 days until summer but who's counting?

@Pumuckl: Great update! Keep us posted on the liver markers.
@Adira: too cute!
@QueensBee: Yay!!! Sorry he is having trouble going to sleep. R took 45 mins tonight. How is the new day care?

@Adira: That's a crazy and hilarious dream! I'm impressed you remember it so vividly!

@Smurfette: New daycare is going okay. He still doesn't nap as well as I'd like there but he's happy so I'm happy! Did you decide to definitely switch R to the closer-to-home center?

Last night was so much better than Monday. He woke up at 11:45pm again but put himself back to sleep within five minutes. Thank goodness! And then he slept until 4:57am. I brought him into bed with us at 5am and he slept like a log (snoring!) until we all got up at 6.

@Adira: Weird!!
@QueensBee: I hope P starts napping better there.
We are going on Friday to look at it. Her teacher told me today that they call R the shadow cause she follows her teacher everywhere. That makes me feel bad about moving her but I know in the long run it will be better. We are going to take R with us to tour the place. So I am hoping we can see the teacher interact with her. Glad that you got better sleep!!!
