Hellobee Boards

LO1 is 3 and starting junior kindergarten in September, and we were out for lunch on Saturday and she ordered for herself!

LO2 is coming in May and that just feels really soon

DS is stringing longer and longer sentences! And it surprises me how quickly he picks up on things now and retains it to memory!!

my 2.5 yo is suddenly losing the chubby toddler roundness! I can practically see it happening day to day. She is starting to look so old.

The baby is growing appropriately.

@Foodnerd81: Was just going to say the same thing. She will be 3 in less then a month and she is starting to look like a little girl and losing her chub.

My big girl is dropping her nap.

My middle girl is already a big sister, talking more every day, and starting to throw tantrums.

My little girl has outgrown the infant insert in her car seat, is in size two diapers, and wearing six month clothes at five weeks. She was hardly a newborn. Thank goodness she's still immobile!

@oliviaoblivia: big girls!!

DD is 14 months going on 4 years old! She has soo many words, talks non-stop, and is really smart (who doesn't think their kid is smart tho, lol). I see less and less baby and more and more full blown toddler everyday

My 4 month old is pushing herself up and trying to crawl! She's never content to be still.

@Mrs. Pickle: ah!

DS1 can read all his letters and most numbers. Man...
DS2 is smiling and even almost laughing. It's flying by and that makes me sad.

C has checked nearly every box on the "kindergarten preparedness" checklist of stuff she needs to know for kindergarten from our school district.

My 8.5mo stood in her crib & grinned at me across the room. Yikes!! It was so cute, but now I'm going to worry about her sneaking out of there or climbing onto *everything*!

DD spent a week with the grandparents in their trailer with no prep or warning. She came back so grown up and full of stories. She also knows lots of things I didn't realize: lower case letters, right from left. Slow down.

My maternity leave is over in four days. I can't believe it went so fast - I feel like I was just pregnant five seconds ago!

DS is now 11 months. Where did time go?

The other day i was watching DD play and her legs just seemed so long, like she was a real big kid. She's turning 4 in May, which seems to be officially out of baby-land.

@wrkbrk: She was just under 14 pounds on Friday. She's off the chart for weight and height and just barely there (97%) for head circumference.
She's been going 6-7 hours reliably at night, I usually only have one wakeup. Both of my older girls were similar and STTN early too. Makes having a newborn not that painful.

We had friends over for dinner tonight and the 3 oldest sat at the IKEA kids' table (we only have 3 chairs) and dd2 sat in her booster seat. She refused to eat until she was let down and could go stand at the table with the other kids. She also reached into the top kitchen drawer to get out her own spoon!
My big kid has lost almost all her baby chub and she can entertain herself reading chapter books.

LO1 is starting preschool in the fall, and is really excited to go hang out with his friends.

LO2 keeps outgrowing his clothes. He's almost too big for 6-12 month onesies.

Because this morning, instead of just babbling in her crib, she woke up and yelled "DADDY!" over and over again at the top of her lungs.

He can write his name all by himself! He will be 4 in a month. Of course the L is backwards (or sideways or upside down...) and he still has a little trouble with the G but it is still legible.
