That's so awesome!" Then when D or I use the bathroom, he comes and sits beside us and says "Mommy/Daddy pooped! That's so awesome! I'm so proud of you!" :grin: :heart: </p> <p>Worst: He's pushing boundaries a lot lately. He'll very deliberately do things he knows he's not supposed to do to see how I react (like take off his shoes and socks in the car). But with that particular example it's still cute, because he gets distracted by his toes and starts playing "this little piggy" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2132245 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 14:38:02 +0000 meesker 2132245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months</p> <p>Best: She is becoming such a cool and independent little person. She feeds herself, she plays independently, and she is so good at pulling up.</p> <p>Worst: With independence comes strong opinions and tantrums. She screams and kicks and flails 9/10 diaper changes and bath time is nothing short of dangerous as she insists on being a constant (and slippery) ball of motion. And lord help me if I stop he from touching a cord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131767 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 07:43:19 +0000 wonderstruck 2131767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months<br /> Best: Starting to become very social - we're getting real big baby laughs and he just lights up when big brother comes over to say hi.<br /> Worst: Naps. He hates taking them, but gets super crabby without them.</p> <p>Almost 2!<br /> Best: Tie between how great he is with his brother (lots of hugs and kisses and squeals whenever I walk into a room holding the baby) and how he does in his big boy bed (if he wakes up before us in the morning he grabs a book and sits in bed 'reading it' until we come and get him.)<br /> Worst: He just started completely ignoring me when I tell him to do something he doesn't want to do. Oh, and the constant whining for snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131750 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 07:22:14 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2131750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months:<br /> Worst: the tantrums and flat out refusing to do things. She now says "No, I don't want that" anytime I ask her to do something.<br /> Best: she's hilarious and incredibly sweet. She loves Cookie Monster, and my favourite thing she says is "Cookie Monster. Num num num, delicious!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131746 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 07:16:25 +0000 Modern Daisy 2131746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months best - hugging and kissing, silly dancing before bed. Worst - screaming so loud i can't hear for a minute afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131687 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 03:22:19 +0000 Applesandbananas 2131687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24m</p> <p>Best: he's hilarious! He is a little ham and loves making us laugh, which ends in him belly laughing too, which is so cute :) </p> <p>Worst: he's wicked smart and into everything. He can open and close the backyard gate and a lot of baby-proofing doesn't faze him, so we are constantly on our toes, keeping him safe! He's completely fearless and it's downright terrifying sometimes. It only takes a second of looking away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131684 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 03:08:44 +0000 Cherrybee 2131684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 20 months. </p> <p>Best: The talking! She says new words every day and she's so funny! </p> <p>Worst: Trashing the place! She can destroy a room in 30 seconds flat and my house looks like a squat!! I know if that's all I've got to moan about I'm very lucky! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131666 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 23:41:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2131666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 7 months.</p> <p>Best: He started doing this thing when he smiles where he scrunches up his whole face. No one taught him how to do it - he just started doing it out of nowhere! It slays us. And the belly laughs!</p> <p>Worst: He's been waking up in the middle of the night once or twice just to thrash around and holler/screech loudly. He goes back to sleep eventually but its too loud to roomshare anymore so we've had to put him to bed in the PNP in our guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131625 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 22:27:00 +0000 SweetiePie 2131625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week shy of 7 months...</p> <p>Best: He's learned how to blow raspberries so he just sits and plays with toys and blows raspberries. Stops to smile at me. Then blows some more. Seriously so cute.<br /> I also think he's started to fake cough to get my attention. </p> <p>Worst: Still spits up a large amount. Way more than I expected at 6-7 months. Today he drenched a freshly washed pair of pants of mine that have to be hang dried. Annoying. And our couch cushion...twice. My apartment reeks of Alimentum spit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131555 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:19:09 +0000 Mae 2131555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: thats adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131515 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:51:24 +0000 Grace 2131515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months</p> <p>Best: all the talking, and the emerging imagination. I love how she puts all her animals to bed, covers them up and says nigh-night to them.</p> <p>Worst: the food pickiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131421 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:59:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2131421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 weeks</p> <p>Best:laughs and getting excited over a fun toy,book or Dad :)</p> <p>Worst: She still wont take a bottle and naps these days are awful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131413 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:56:21 +0000 MrsTal 2131413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 weeks </p> <p>Best: the smiles and he's just starting to make little coos</p> <p>Worst: DH says the wind up cry, he just starts to whimper and you know you can't stop the screaming that's coming. I say the fussy nursing sessions where I need to switch sides every two minutes because he starts crying after a minute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131402 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:53:08 +0000 Ginabean3 2131402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24 months</p> <p>Worst: the terrible twos have officially started!</p> <p>Best: language explosion! Each day she spews out more random words and is even stringing them together! A big accomplishment especially since she's been in speech therapy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131397 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:50:59 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2131397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years</p> <p>Best: She is becoming very self sufficient. She also is very polite and adept at explaining and describing things! It's amazing to think that 2.5 years ago she was still in the "baby blob" stage- eat, pee, poop, sleep, and of course cry!</p> <p>Worst: tantrums! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131378 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:41:25 +0000 Mae 2131378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: ummmmm that is incredibly adorable! (not the pooping, wtf is up with that twins?)</p> <p>@Radish: sorry but yours just made me lol :) </p> <p>@HLK208: ugh YES to the putting everything in the mouth too. My floor has never been cleaner. And yet she still finds some random tumbleweed of dog hair I missed next to the refrigerator or finds a piece of fuzz from a blanket or ya know, my whole shoe I forgot to put in the closet and into her mouth it goes. (Also, last week she licked the trash can. sigh). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131087 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:32:45 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2131087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months </p> <p>Best: she says "I love you" without any prompting and is a stellar communicator all around which is both fun and nice </p> <p>Worst: olives and raisins count as fruit and veggies around here because she's suddenly decided that only meat and cheese will do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131086 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:31:41 +0000 Kimberlybee 2131086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 23 months<br /> Best: The talking -learning new words everyday, mimicking gestures, sweet laughters, and endless dancing! She loves music and dancing. She is such a joy to be around right now even though the tantrums are making their way in our household. She also gives the sweetest hugs and is so thoughtful!<br /> Worst:<br /> Being a picky eater and spitting out food, diaper change battles, tantrums at restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131076 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:20:23 +0000 HLK208 2131076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N - 8 months<br /> Best: she's babbling non-stop! I love it<br /> Worst: putting everything in her mouth that she finds on the floor.</p> <p>E - 2 years, 10 months<br /> Best: communicating and she's able to recall things that I can't!<br /> Worst: huge tantrums</p> <p>B - 6 years this month<br /> Best: he's learning SO much so fast!<br /> Worst: he thinks he's in charge :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131068 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:16:28 +0000 miramira 2131068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months</p> <p>Best: how he thinks it's hilarious to put his hand on my mouth when I'm nursing or rocking him </p> <p>Worst: teething... Sometimes even chewing teething toys hurts his little gums :( Also, the fact that he's getting bored more easily &amp; will arch his back and squirm whenever we go into a room he spends too much time in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131066 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:11:54 +0000 BeachMama 2131066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby J - 2.5 weeks old<br /> Best - Snuggles, sleeping on my chest, overall a pretty easy baby<br /> Worst - the 5pm witching hour where he seems to really struggle with gas =(</p> <p>E - 2.5 years old<br /> Best - I love having conversations with her. She's so observant and smart. And she's been really sweet with her new baby brother<br /> Worst - Oh Lord, the tantrums and the whining. Obviously they've gotten worse since the new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131027 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:38:28 +0000 Pirouette 2131027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months</p> <p>best: talking! so much talking. she gets almost as excited as i do when she says new words, and she learns so many words every day, it's amazing. i love her sweet little voice.</p> <p>worst: this is more my fault than hers, but i haven't had any success with weaning lately, and it's starting to bum me out. I wanted to let her lead but i think i'm going to have to be a little more aggressive about it. and especially eating overnight....OVER IT! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131019 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:33:03 +0000 twodoghouse 2131019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alice (11 months)<br /> Best - she's started dancing! She bounces and swings her arms around and it's adorable!<br /> Worst - sleep!! It's chaos over here again. They've started pooping all night long. Like 3-4 times per night! So we have to do diaper changes and they scream the whole time and wake each other up. I think it's actually the Zantac that they're back on, so I'm hoping a switch of meds will help.</p> <p>Blake (11 months)<br /> Best - he's become a little "performer" trying to make us laugh. He'll flop down on the floor then look back at us to see if we laugh. He plays peekaboo constantly. He even blows raspberries on Alice's tummy to get her to giggle.<br /> Worst - see above. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131015 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:31:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2131015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 mo - </p> <p>Best: laughing, "talking" back, big grins </p> <p>Worst: SLEEEPPPPPP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2131003 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:23:08 +0000 autumnlove 2131003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 year old-<br /> best- she is polite and fun! sleep is really great.<br /> worst- when she doesn't want to listen and gets whiny.</p> <p>almost 2 year old-<br /> best-talking and walking (late walker at 20 months so I am still soaking it in!)<br /> worst-little tantrums and hearing NO all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2130992 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:16:36 +0000 Radish 2130992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - 2 years 3 months<br /> Best - She just started talking in more complete sentences<br /> Worst - Bedtime - she won't go to sleep early at all</p> <p>DD2 - 2 months<br /> Best - Smiles and coos (but they are rare since she is always sleeping)<br /> Worst - so much poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2130974 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:03:45 +0000 Mamasig 2130974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 (2.5)<br /> Best - all the talking! He can express himself so much more. I love hearing him sing along to songs. He's also become appreciative. I melt when he says "thank you, mama."<br /> Worst - so picky when it comes to eating now :sad: </p> <p>DS2 (10.5 months) - he's happier now that he is more mobile. He's just so sweet.<br /> Worst - nothing really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2130970 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:02:36 +0000 blackbird 2130970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>best: They're so sweet at this age! She'll pat me and go "okay mommy" and it cracks me up. </p> <p>worst: The tantrums. yesterday she tried to thrash kick me in the face and threw herself down at the park very dramatically and a little boy asked his mommy if I pushed that little girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2130965 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:00:09 +0000 edelweiss 2130965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>26 months</p> <p>best: talking a lot more. he remembers a surprising amount of things and i just wanna squish him really hard whenever he busts out with something new or unexpected.</p> <p>worst: he remembers things. like that there's cake in the fridge and he WANTS IT NOW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bestworst#post-2130964 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 14:59:44 +0000 Smurfette 2130964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I thought they were bad at 1 but geeze 2 is awful. I am hoping it is teething related and it will pass once all the molars cut. </p>
