Hellobee Boards

@LindsayInNY: DS isn't drinking much from a sippy cup. We definitely offer it at every meal, but he doesn't drink too much. He is starting to get better but feel like we are miles from being off of formula. Sorry the daycare isn't communicating too much. That's hard.

@Eko: Just saw your comment show up on here! We're not very good about offering the sippy but daycare is. I don't think she gets anything out of it though.

@MrsBrewer: We haven't tried that one... Might look into getting it. To be honest, I haven't pushed a sippy because it's so much easier to just nurse her all the time lol.

How was everyone's Easter? We didn't do much except brunch and my moms. DS loves French toast now. My mom dyed eggs and had him crawl around for them lol

Our Easter was great! We went to church and then played board games with in-laws while DD slept. After that, we all went to my grandmas for dinner. It was an enjoyable, family-filled day! DD got a basket with some puffs, fruit pouches, and plastic eggs with some change in them. Nothing big, but great!

@anniefannie: Thank god it skipped me but I had DH puking, DD pooping... No thank you!

@MrsBrewer: We're doing well. J has no interest in crawling or cruising. He developed his own weird way to move around. He prefers to sit most days. I think that he'll be walking by 14-15 months at this point. He's working on his 5th tooth this week. He also loves to clap and be fed. He hasn't quite figured out how to put food to his mouth, but will with rice rusks.

We're doing well! Still just the bottom 2 teeth. I know the top 2 are there but I don't think they've poked through yet. Food is hit or miss sometimes. She likes to feed the dog at home which is annoying... Daycare has been giving her school food which I think helps since she sees her daycare buddy eating too and will mimic him. She's a crawling machine! Seriously ALL OVER the place! I don't think it's too long before she's walking...

M has 6 teeth. She has four up top and the two bottom teeth. She took her first steps two weeks ago, and will take steps if you're not looking at her. Otherwise, she drops down and crawls lol! Still in 9-12 clothes, size 3 diapers (although I may move up to 4 soon), and loves to drink her water through a sippy cup with a straw! She's really getting into solids now, and still nurses at night. No, not sleeping through the night yet!

@Eko: poor W! That's a lot for a little guy to deal with all at once. So happy to hear he's feeling better. I know, I have no idea what little kids like! I'm thinking of just doing something small. My sister had a huge first bday for my niece and she seemed so stressed out the whole time lol. We also want to go to Disneyland soon. I know she's still kind of young but it would be so fun!

I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the next LO!

@Eko: DH wants another child like now! It took a while for LO1, so he wants to start trying soon in case it takes a while again. He also wants our kids close in age.

ETA: but, I still want to wait a few more months! LO is still nursing through the night, and I need to lose some more weight!

@cascademom: @Eko: Hi all! Sounds like everyone has had a rough few weeks with sickness. Ella was sick for two weeks with a stomach bug (vomiting and diarrhea). We ended up in Children's Hospital for dehydration. Had to rehydrate using Pedialyte.
Still no teeth for Ella. Doesn't seem like she has any close to the gums either. That's fine with me!
She is cruising around on furniture like CRAZY! She enjoys climbing up on everything and uses her walker to get around the house. I'm expecting her to walk within the next month or so. She has taken a couple of steps, but nothing big.
Ella still isn't sleeping through the night and if still nursing 5-6 times a day. She eats solids like a champ, though. She wants to eat anything and everything we have.
We set the date for the first birthday party and have an idea of theme. But it's not going to be a big production. Just family getting together.
Baby number 2 is on our radar. I still haven't started my cycle back up, so we definitely have to have that happen first. Plus, we are both looking for teaching jobs for next fall, so hoping to get those set in stone and a new house before trying for our second.
So many exciting things happening! It's so great to hear from everyone and hear how different all the babies are! Has anyone looked at their baby and been like, "holy cow you look like a toddler!" It makes me really sad! I miss my tiny lumpy baby!

@schubr03: I am glad to hear that she is feeling better!! We have definitely had to use pedialyte on a couple occasions. Having teeth really hurts when they try to chomp on you, so definitely soak it up! hahaha. I definitely look at W and think the same thing, but I am really excited about it! I feel like I can do sooo much more with him now and am really excited about more things we can do together.

@LindsayInNY: yeah we are kind of in the same boat. I remember there was a lot that went into it for you. If everything lines up we would love to, but really don't know if it will happen or will.

@LindsayInNY: We are in the exact same boat. The thought of paying for two in daycare is really what is putting the breaks on for us. If we can't come to a decision when W is 2 then it will probably be a never having #2 for us.... because DH doesn't want to be in his 40s with a newborn.

Came here after reading @MrsBrewer: post on weaning. That overwhelms me and I don't know where to begin. I don't want to post when plenty of others already have but I'm confused!

I want to drop the pumping at 1 and move DD to BM morning/night but WCM during the day. She doesn't really ASK to nurse now, I just do it when I know it's about time. So that's why I'm confused by all of this...
