Seems like just yesterday I was here talking about her first birthday party. I've been back and forth whether to have a party this year but I think I am! Most likely at one of those kiddie play places and princess themed. What are you all doing for their 3rd birthday??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-headquarters-december-2012#post-1011965 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:53:03 +0000 hellocupcake 1011965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is LO's Birthday?<br /> What day are you planning to have the party?<br /> Any theme so far?<br /> How many people will you invite?<br /> Budget, if any?<br /> Location?<br /> What do you have done so far? </p> <p>With the birthdays quickly approaching, I thought we could share ideas and stuff.

He's been on bottle strike since he was 2 months old. -.- I pumped this morning and he drank about 4 ounces straight from a cup. That's the only way little homey seems to wanna drink. -.- </p> <p>He eats solids like a champ and I'm wondering how much milk (minimum) I need to give him. Will continue to offer boob throughout the day, but 1.5 months til he's 1 so I' don't wanna stress myself out too much over this. </p> <p>Gahhh.. funny how my kids are so different! DD nursed til she was 2+ yo and wasn't big on solids. -.- </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-started-making-gestures#post-1131683 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:13:43 +0000 wheres_c 1131683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>December mamas!<br /> has your lo started making gestures?

He hates being on his tummy!</p> <p>So everyone... Lets check in.....December 2012 babies only:</p> <p>Has your LO:<br /> Slept through the night consistently:<br /> Started the 4month sleep regression:<br /> Started solids;<br /> Rolled over:<br /> Said any words with consonants, baba, dada, mama etc:<br /> Greatest joy:<br /> Biggest struggle; </p> <p>Here's mine:<br /> Has your LO:<br /> Slept through the night consistently: mostly since 2months old<br /> Started the 4month sleep regression: yes! Waking up every hour!<br /> Started solids; not yet, been doing some research and bought a few. Will probably start at 6mo. He drinks prune juice for constipation.<br /> Rolled over: Yes! Today was the first time.<br /> Said any words with consonants, baba, dada, mama etc: we swear we heard him say mama over the weekend but otherwise still no consonants.<br /> Greatest joy: being home to see the milestones, knowing he trusts and loves daddy and I.<br /> Biggest struggle; not knowing why he's upset sometimes, lack of naps, constipation! It seems so painful for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2012-birth-dates#post-685108 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:08:28 +0000 wheres_c 685108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking bak at our old due date thread and was wondering how accurate our due dates were.<br /> If you had a Dec 2012 due date, when is your LOs birthday?</p> <p>Here was our original due dates for reference:<br /> Princessbaby 12/2-IND 12/7-ODD *Pink*<br /> Rattles 12/3 *Green*<br /> Gracecat 12/6 *Pink*<br /> Lovebird 12/8 *Pink*<br /> Kodybear 12/8 *Green*<br /> Rawrasaur 12/11 *Pink*<br /> Wheres_c 12/12 *Blue*<br /> Misinformation 12/14 *Pink*<br /> Maisymay 12/15-IND 12/30-ODD *Pink*<br /> Littlehunny 12/21 *TWINS*<br /> SUlli301 12/22 *Blue*<br /> Chopsuey119 12/23<br /> Mrsmenow 12/24 *Green*<br /> Oahujeni 12/21 *Blue* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-554197 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:40:35 +0000 wheres_c 554197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our pediatrician so much! She just gives us the information we need, allows us to make decisions and is supportive.</p> <p>B had his two month checkup today.<br /> He went from 7th percentile weight at birth, to 41st percentile (11lb 6oz). He is 70th percentile for height, and 74th percentile for weight.<br /> We need to work on tummy time for flat head, but his umbilical hernia looks way better.</p> <p>We are working an alternate vaccine schedule so had hib and pneummoccal shots today. He will have tdap, rotovirus, polio next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-due-dates#post-98737 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 23:42:54 +0000 cyneswith 98737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's early - I'm not counting on my wee one sticking yet - but anyone else with a December due date yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-birthstones#post-426537 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:37:13 +0000 MaisyMay 426537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out their daily deal if you are thinking about asking for a December birthstone present! </p> <p><a href="http://1saleaday.com/jewelry/" rel="nofollow">http://1saleaday.com/jewelry/</a></p> <p>I think options 1 and 6 are gorgeous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-is-getting-to-me#post-399845 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:58:32 +0000 MaisyMay 399845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got 2 1/2 official weeks of work left, but then I'll still go in for at least another week to work on projects behind the scenes, meet with a consultant for a day, conference at Google, etc. I can't believe there is so little time left, especially because I'm having a blast doing the work, but wow, there is so much to do before leave!</p> <p>And my uniforms are getting to where they don't fit!</p> <p>December mommas, how are you doing with work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-moms-whats-the-nursery-situation#post-325693 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:24:11 +0000 MaisyMay 325693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be sharing a room with us, and we're in an apartment so we can't paint.
