Hellobee Boards

@AngelicOne: welcome back : )

@josina: way to go, E!!

R doesn't seem that interested in walking....he is very physical and climbs on everything, but is content to crawl and cruise everywhere.

I think we've cut the 4 pm nursing so are just down to 330, 630, 9, 1/130, and 7. I cut out the before bed pump too and it is SO LIBERATING. Strange that most of his feeds are front loaded? I don't think he really drinks much at 9 am though. In fact he went down for his nap without nursing at all this morning and then did nurse quickly afterwards around 10. His diapers definitely are not as wet as before so I need to keep an eye out and offer more water and hopefully he'll start drinking some cows milk soon.

I think J's working on another molar. I had to give him Tylenol and rock him over night and then again for nap today. We really need to get back in to better sleep habits after his ear infections, etc, but if he's hurting I feel so bad

@winniebee: J's not interested in walking either. If I try to help him walk he usually just drops down to crawl. Doesn't want to push his walker either. Definitely cruising more though.

When are you planning on introducing cows milk?

@winniebee: I've been giving him thawed BM in a sippy with meals but I should probably just switch to WCM or at least mix it. He has issues with constipation and I'm worried that he's going to have a hard time switching.

@MrsF: teeth suck!!!

@josina: I saw! Nice job, E!! Can't believe how many early walkers this group has.

@MrsF: man, he is going to have all of his teeth before he's one!

@MamaG: ahh, good luck with the transition!

So fun seeing everyone's babes dressed up for Halloween. Hope everyone had a good one! The time change wasn't too bad for us; he has just been a little crankier in the evenings since his body hasn't adjusted to the new bedtime yet. I can't complain, though!

I can't keep up with H these days. Haha. He is walking (and almost running sometimes, if he hears me open the dishwasher or refrigerator) all over the place. Doesn't really crawl anymore, which I'm grateful for because he was wearing holes in all his pants knees. Ha. Can't believe how big these kids are getting, and how soon their first birthdays are coming up! Remember when they were just teensy little newborns?! gaaah.

@MamaG: Wow! Big girl! I hope the night is better than you are expecting. We're in molar hell here too

@theotherstark: I can't believe H doesn't crawl any more. Such a big kid! M didn't walk until she was 16 months and all of her pants had holes in the knees and her shoes were all scraped up on the tops.

Ryan seems to have adjusted to the time change ok - he woke at 6 today (and even sttn last night 7-6....he's probably sick or something lol).

But my older who usually sleeps til 7/730 is waking up up at frigging 530!!!!!

@theotherstark: omg, i'm so not ready for that! e has been standing a lot more lately and has gotten much more adventurous in her cruising, but hasn't taken any steps yet.

@winniebee: @mrsf: i think e might be self weaning! the only time she nurses well anymore for sure is the early morning waking (between 4-6a). all of the rest of them, including before bedtime, are totally hit or miss. she has been eating more solids and drinking noticeably more from her straw cup (either water, BM from the stash, or WCM). so we'll see! she also is super congested so nursing is hard for her, constantly unlatching to take a breath, but then she nips me with her new teeth everytime she relatches. i'm not too unhappy with the lack of nursing

@faithfertility: yeah, i think the couple days after the time change are just kinda all over the place and brutal. two off-schedule, overtired kids (and parents!) here!!

E has been sticking his tongue out a lot the past two days, like all the time, wonder if it's teeth related or he just discovered this?
He does it when eating too.. pushing the food out of his mouth.. sooo hard not to laugh and tell him no! lol.

I shall not talk about sleep. K was a little fussy this morning, I think she was looking for her morning bottle. She was really eager to eat as soon as her breakfast was put in front of her at school. Her latest discovery is that she can take off her shoes and socks. Ugh!

@josina: Hahaha! Oh opening the cabinets is def a huge incentive! Offer them anything "forbidden" and I'm sure they'll be running in no time haha!

Yup, Ryan's sick. Seems like just a cold. I knew it was too good to be true!

@winniebee: ha - you called it!

@MamaG: Ugh, D pops her socks off so fast. She's also trying to put her own shoes on and gets really frustrated she can't. She's obsessed with shoes.

@theotherstark: awww now that is early

@winniebee: stinky hope he is feeling better soon

@Adira: sorry!!!

@BandDmommy: G does that too tried to put them on! She keeps her shoes on surprising!!!

We still aren't bothering with shoes or socks. Although it helps that it's still in the 70s or 80s here. Although that hasn't stopped my mil from buying pair after pair of shores for her!

@FaithFertility: She prob wants to go down early! Maybe she is trying to drop to one nap, lol.

I couldn't believe K napped from 10:50-12 in the pnp at daycare. I'll take it!

@snowjewelz: Maybe she is st daycare for sure, but on the weekends she will go down no issue so who knows....lol

@theotherstark: we haven't seen 4 am day start in awhile - man that's early in sorry!!

@FaithFertility: I hope you went with 7pm! Ryan seems to do better with the earlier bed time. Especially if he's overtired. Now, my first would only sleep 10 hours so 630 bed time was a no no! Hope it works out.
