She will play with her push cart and has gotten really wild pushing it around the room but if we try to get her to let go, she sits. I'm sure it will happen soon enough though! </p> <p>@travelgirl1: So glad she did well on her xray! </p> <p>@kodybear: L seems to do that too. For awhile she said turtle 100 times a day, now she never says it. ???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1271550 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 11:50:22 +0000 kodybear 1271550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when your babies learn new words, are they using them consistently? for some reason it seems like when LO learns new words, she'll be consistent about using the word for like 2 weeks, and then she'll just stop all of a sudden. it always makes me question whether she knew it in the first place, but she would use it in the right context repeatedly. so i don't know if she just gets bored of using the words? she also did this with signing too. maybe my expectations are too high? hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1266089 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 17:46:04 +0000 turkeylurkey 1266089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E still isn't walking. I think he can he's just scared. But he too has become quite the talker! Yesterday getting out of the car I asked if he wanted to see his friend Hunter and he said his name! I was shocked! We also think he is saying dog, kitty, yeah... still no momma! oh well! LOL<br /> Got his school pictures last night and my oh my how grown-up he looks! He doesn't look like a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1257946 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:36:20 +0000 travelgirl1 1257946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: awww that's so sweet! She's very advanced with her speech!</p> <p>We have a few words; mama, dad, hello, that, yes and she'a really trying to say balloon, ha ha - we still have some up from her birthday party and she LOVES them! She's walking now too and just got the all clear in her most recent hip x-ray too. The next one is key in terms of growth, apparently, but she's doing awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1257858 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:35:33 +0000 immabeetoo 1257858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: that's so fun!! eek! haven't heard any NO here yet, but i'm sure it's only a matter of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1257847 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:31:36 +0000 DillonLion 1257847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: ah! Exciting. I loved that video on IG of her saying puppy. </p> <p>C is not saying much beyond mama and dada, but it seems like she really wants to. I am trying to work with her every night to practice.some first words like dog, cat, ball, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1257830 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:21:50 +0000 lindseykaye 1257830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last few weeks Ellora has become a little chatterbox! Some are more hit or miss that she will use them correctly, but she will pull out her book on cows and say, "cow". She turns to the page in her book of animals with a dog and says, "puppy!" (her favorite word). She learned "buckle" yesterday because she is obsessed with the buckle on her car seat and highchair, and this weekend we practiced "thank you" (taaaank youuu).<br /> It is crazy!! I cannot believe how quickly she is picking up words and how fast she goes from making a noise like the word to saying it and other people understanding.<br /> Unfortunately she has already learned "No!" While shaking her head or even using her hands to shake no in front of her. Here we go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1247895 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:12:55 +0000 turkeylurkey 1247895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kodybear: That's an idea... play naked for a bit. What's weird is he doesn't do this at daycare. He just lays there patiently while they change him. What's up with that? And so it begins of testing the waters with Mom and Dad I guess?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1247415 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:53:24 +0000 kodybear 1247415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turkeylurkey: kind of sounds like we have the same baby! she has 6 teeth, isn't walking unassisted, and finally started crawling on all fours at 11 months!! i give LO something to play with to distract her from squirming during diaper changes. it works 75% of the time. the other 25% i just let her play naked for alittle bit, then put it back on (as fast as i can!) :-/ but we deal with distracted diaper changes too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1242525 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:55:46 +0000 turkeylurkey 1242525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: I agree never too late to start. Mine is just now using all done. </p> <p>We have 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom. He is a slow teether. He isn't walking un-assisted yet. I think he can but he is scared. He has started doing the hold on to the couch with one hand and move to the table. So I would think he'll be walking in the next couple of weeks. He is finally crawling on all four and not inch worming on his belly. He is really fast at crawling now. He has also started fighting us while trying to change his diaper. He wants down and I try everything to distract him from singing, to him holding objects to scolding. Nothing seems to work. Can't wait to get past this stage of diaper changing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/7#post-1232045 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:26:18 +0000 lindseykaye 1232045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: It's not too late if you still want to start!</p> <p>@kodybear: How adorable that she says muah for kisses :) I get that it would be hard not to go back in, scoop her up and cover her in them though!<br /> LO has also started kissing her toys and pictures in books. It is super cute (but tends to leave drool on everything!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1231859 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:42:59 +0000 kml636 1231859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you guys make me wish I had done signing with L! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1229837 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:49:55 +0000 kodybear 1229837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: aww thats sad about her signing for nursing. i love that they can communicate with us better now, but it also can be sad. LO is starting to say muah for kiss. and so after i put her to bed, i can still hear her saying muah muah. soo sweet but sad! i just want to run in there and pick her back up! </p> <p>@ChelseaRose: ack molars!! we've been stuck at 6 teeth for months. i'm scared for molars!</p> <p>LO kind of stopped signing. she still signs 'more' every once in awhile, but she says 'more' now instead. she's also saying 'mmm' for milk and 'muah'. she says mama and dada but i'm pretty sure she doesn't know what those mean still. </p> <p>we're still walking with a walker but shes learning how to turn and is definitely alot faster both crawling and walking so i'm sure walking is in the near future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1229346 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:52:10 +0000 ChelseaRose 1229346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: He started getting teeth early (2 bottom teeth at 5.5 months), but on his first birthday he only had 7 teeth. The molars broke through before the 8th front tooth, which is just about through too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1229316 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:45:11 +0000 DillonLion 1229316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: wow on those signs!!! Sorry weaning is slow going </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1229244 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:20:03 +0000 lindseykaye 1229244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: Ahh gah! Molars already? Was your LO an early teether in general? When we were at the 1 year well check my pediatrician said those were next for Ellora (she has all 8 front teeth now) but that they would come around 15 months.<br /> The good news was that she said they were generally easier than the front teeth. Hope that is the case for your little guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1228637 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:40:29 +0000 ChelseaRose 1228637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure where this belongs, but we have two molars that have come through! It's crazy. I think the other two are soon to follow as he constantly has his fingers in his mouth and is chomping on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1223718 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:16:54 +0000 lindseykaye 1223718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie is taking some tentative steps here and there (3-4 wobbly ones until she crashes into us or the couch or the dog bed) so we're on our way to having a walker as well.</p> <p>Her newest development has been that her sign language has exploded over the last couple weeks. She was using 'all done' regularly for about a month or more, but has been using 'more' and 'eat' all the time these days. She also made up her own sign for 'nursing' which kind of breaks my heart as I've been trying to cut out our daytime sessions on the weekends when I am with her. With her new sign, it's totally not working. She literally makes a frowny face, uses her sign for 'nursing' and 'more' over and over and tugs at my shirt while saying 'Mama'. Saddest little thing ever in those moments. I guess we'll go a little slower with her transitioning to only WCM during the daytime on the weekends. She's there for daycare just fine - and even having DH give her the bottles and put her down for naps didn't work.<br /> Next up on the list that we've been using with her for signs are 'drink', 'stop', 'no', 'ball', 'kitty', 'diaper', 'please', and 'thank you'! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1205865 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 10:44:24 +0000 turkeylurkey 1205865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kodybear: we are right there with you too! Cruising and using the walker. Finally using the walker! He wasn't wanting to use it at all. He wanted us to walk him around which is hard on the back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1197457 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:26:56 +0000 kodybear 1197457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: yay!! how exciting!</p> <p>my LO is cruising and walking with a walker, so we've got awhile to go :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1196794 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 10:09:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1196794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: AHHHHHHHHH yay C! :)</p> <p>A is getting better and better at walking. It's so surreal when he grabs my one finger and we walk down the hall together... like where is my tiny curled up nb baby boy!?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1196787 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 10:08:40 +0000 lindseykaye 1196787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: Ahh good job girl! </p> <p>All these walkers! Oh man.</p> <p>Ellie is not walking but has taken a haldful of wobbly steps. She's getting more stable at standing, but I doubt that she will be reliably standing or walking at her first bday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1196737 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 09:46:52 +0000 DillonLion 1196737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is totally walking now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nov-12-babies-milestones/page/6#post-1196655 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 09:17:28 +0000 kml636 1196655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few steps! eek! wow, Lily still does not like to let go of things, but she is getting more and more confident!
