MamaG created a new thread, so we'll close this one. Here's the link to the new thread!</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-and-their-kids" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-and-their-kids</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/392#post-2602312 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:51:43 +0000 Adira 2602312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Actually, Mr. Bee can fix that when it happens. It's just a thread count issue and happens all the time. If you see it happen again (here, or anywhere else), just put a post in the help for him to fix it! I usually just say something like "Thread Count Issue for the following thread: thread link. Page/replies are messed up." And he fixes it immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/392#post-2602297 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:40:12 +0000 MamaG 2602297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay ladies, I think it's time to start a new thread. I think we are breaking HB :( Consistently, when we turn to a new page I can't get the latest comment to load. Like right now I'm stuck on pg 391 with Mrs F comment, but on the boards page it tells me there is a new comment from josina. And the only "fix" is to post another comment to get the page to flip. (first world problem, but it makes me grumpy in the AM!). I'm happy to start up another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2602295 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:36:51 +0000 josina 2602295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: E is the opposite and doesn't say yes yet. Its funny b/c whenever Mickey asks a question on the show he says 'unh uh'<br /> @MrsF: Thanks, good appt. and heartbeat of 160. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2602096 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:25:07 +0000 MrsF 2602096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: Yay! Good luck with TTC :happy: Maybe we'll be lucky enough to be on another due date board together again :heart: </p> <p>@josina: I hope your appointment went well! </p> <p>@winniebee: I would say that DH, myself and our nanny are pretty much the only ones who know what J is saying. We were with my parents today and I had to interpret almost every single word. FWIW our EI therapist seems to think it's normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601810 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 12:27:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2601810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: He will surprise you! K only sleeps on our bed at home, but she proves to be an excellent napper at school, on a mat, goes to sleep by herself without binky or blankie! And she did the same at my in-law's! </p> <p>I think we're going to cut off the tips to her binkies come 9/1.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601789 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:58:33 +0000 winniebee 2601789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: super cute! Ryan says Yes or Yeah to just about everything but only shakes his head no! Enjoying that he can't say that yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601785 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:57:01 +0000 winniebee 2601785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Ty definitely had his first explosion around 19-20 months, and Ryan just turned 20 months. I remember Ty could sing the ABCs at a vacation when he was 21 months, but of course maybe my memory is a little fuzzy as to how well he sang it ;) I won't send him in the sleep sack to school - just with his puppy lovey! I wanted to paci wean him before school started but now we're less than a month away. We have a vacation leading right up until school so I feel like it either needs to be done in the next few weeks or wait until December. I'm just wondering if letting him have it at nap time for the first few months at school will help him start napping there? And then wean it over the Christmas break? I'm sure it will all be fine but I'm just nervous he wont' nap at school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601771 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:34:18 +0000 MamaG 2601771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I feel like Kaylee is behind in speech but Chloe had her explosion between 22-23 months. Kaylee's words aren't the most understandable either. I get more than even DH. Kaylee turns 21 months next week so I know its coming. Her daycare hasn't been concerned and typically is pretty complimentary on her speech so I try to go with that.</p> <p>As to the transition to school for Ryan, he will surprise you. Kaylee has been on a cot and without a pacifier at daycare for so long. She started cot sleeping at 10.5 months and dropped her pacifier right at a year. She's still in the crib at home and we kept the pacifier until 18 months!</p> <p>How does school feel about the sleep sack? Will they let him use it? Ours won't. Kaylee has a blanket and stuffed animal, just like at home. Her naps are shorter than what I like (at home too!) at about 1.5 hours. I'm also not sure that daycare would let us have a pacifier at this age either :bummed: </p> <p>I'm pro weaning the pacifier and it was easy with both of my girls though I dreaded it both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601728 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:02:16 +0000 josina 2601728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Ethan's way behind these girls also, but saying new words everyday, enough that I don't keep track anymore.<br /> BeBe = blanket, and freezy (popsicle).<br /> MeMe = mickey, and movie.<br /> He answers Unh Unh a lot, and is really good at NO!<br /> His words are too cute. ;)</p> <p>Hope his new school goes well! Ethan just started sleeping on a cot at daycare and he does fine. No tips on the paci since E never took one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601717 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 10:52:09 +0000 winniebee 2601717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Ryan is still pretty behind in the speech dept. He has around 50 words but half of them are probably only understood by me and the nanny! He can kind of count to 10 and knows the color blue though :)</p> <p>I'm getting so nervous for him to start his school. He'll nap there 3x a week and is such a good sleeper at home....he's never slept in anything but a crib in a sleep sack. How is he going to sleep on a cot?! And do I wean him from the pacifier first or wait until Christmas break?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601715 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 10:50:52 +0000 winniebee 2601715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: I was going to suggest turning her around to see if it helps!</p> <p>@MrsF: I'm really bad about cleaning the bath toys. Yikes. I need to take a look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601119 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 12:01:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2601119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: So exciting! </p> <p>@josina: Yay! I switched OBs and get far less scans than last time (but that OB gives an obscene amt of scans) so I've barely seen DD2... I have my anatomy next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601063 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 10:31:17 +0000 whenoceansrise 2601063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Aww, yay! I hope the day goes by fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601061 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 10:28:16 +0000 josina 2601061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: awww, poor little boy.<br /> At this point I've given up on being super careful about germs, its gonna happen, and all for a stronger immune system. :)<br /> @whenoceansrise: Yay, good luck!<br /> I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and FINALLY get to hear a hb :heart: at my appt. tom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601045 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:56:24 +0000 whenoceansrise 2601045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a few of you are TTC! Count me in too! We started TTC this month :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601044 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:54:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2601044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: Oh no, poor thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2601039 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:51:39 +0000 MrsF 2601039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @MamaG: Yeah - I've pretty much given up on keeping things out of his mouth. Even my almost 4yo puts things in her mouth. There's plenty of research that says this is how we build a strong immune system and that all of the avoidance is giving our kids more issues. </p> <p>That being said, J has a bad cold and I was up for hours last night just holding him upright so that he could breathe and sleep. Whomp whomp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600995 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:37:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2600995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: Hahaha I feel so bad for her that he pooped while she was in there too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600994 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:37:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2600994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Yes! I'm hoping it's already paying off now since she hasn't been sick for a while. I guess we'll see how her immune system is come fall/winter! I was nervous this whole summer of her getting HFM b/c I know it's going around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600992 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:31:28 +0000 MamaG 2600992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: The good news is all those little germies are building immune systems. C has such a great immune system now and the days of the under 2 or 3 "daycare" sick are hard but they pay off :) It does suck for them to be off, but it really does pay off later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600983 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:16:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2600983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Ugh she didn't eat well yesterday, so I got all paranoid thinking it's b/c she's starting something!! I just remember too... After we left, I was driving so I forgot to tell my mom to sanitize her hands before eating snacks :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600852 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 20:36:20 +0000 MrsF 2600852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: oh man! That's only happened once over here but big sister was definitely freaked out! She jumped out of the tub pretty quickly :silly: </p> <p>Tonight J said "poop" while he was in the tub so I put him on the toilet (couldn't really come up with a better option). He didn't do anything, but at least he didn't crap in the tub either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600841 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 20:13:43 +0000 FaithFertility 2600841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: No students yet, meet the teacher is Thursday and the kiddos come next Monday! Just tons of meetings!!!</p> <p>@snowjewelz: ughhhhh yes :( G stuck a straw cup in her mouth at Target! ProbaProbably why she is sick now!<br /> Hope K fights those ice cream germs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600475 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 11:31:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2600475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Hahaha ahhh! I always wondered if that would happen. Good that it was an 'easy' one.. :silly: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600465 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 11:21:18 +0000 josina 2600465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I lol'd to the licking the ice cream! Oh man.<br /> Hope she doesn't get sick.<br /> @FaithFertility: Glad your DH is off today/tomorrow to stay home with G! Hope your 1st day back goes well! Do you have the kids today already or teachers only?</p> <p>Speaking of bathtubs, we had our first poo in the tub accident this weekend! Luckily it was small/hard so easy to scoop up quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600352 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:48:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2600352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: Kara just doesn't always understand "pretend". She will put all her toy utensils in her mouth and eat her play food for real so I have to watch her like a hawk when she's not playing with her own toys. I keep telling her it's pretend and she only pretends sometimes lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600349 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:44:32 +0000 MrsF 2600349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Ew, yuck. We've been pretty healthy for a while but J still puts so many things in his mouth... and then he was up last night with congestion and now has a cold :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600335 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:27:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2600335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Have a good first day! K hasn't been sick for a long time now (knock on wood), but of course she decided to lick the toy ice-cream at the children's museum yesterday so I was like... :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2014-moms-amp-babies/page/391#post-2600334 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:24:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2600334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: Ugggh gross! We actually have a few that were gifted... I just keep a mental note to throw them out at some point! </p> <p>@MamaG: Oh no! I am so sorry! I hope none got on the carseat. I hate seeing them so helpfuless and sick! </p>
