@silver1: ah sorry those didnt work for you. They were a game changer for me.
@Smurfette: yes!!!!!! Sleep!!!
@Mrs. Blue: we just went cold turkey to footie pjs and he slept great. First night he had a little trouble falling asleep but then was fine.

@Adira:

@Smurfette: So I was looking at the on-line records for Xander, and I was totally wrong about where his weight percentile is. It's supposedly down to 17%, not 30% like I thought the pediatrician told me. He's also only gained 1.5 lbs in 2 months, just like R. Sooo... we're both in the same boat! My pediatrician didn't seem concerned at all though, so yay?

@Adira: L really slowed down in the last 2 months too. We have a scale at home so I know how much he's gaining and it isn't much right now. Must be normal.

@travellingbee: Okay, so good to hear that another baby has slowed down too! It must be normal!!

@Mrs. High Heels: WHAT!!! That's fantastic!!! Congratulations on the sleep AND the awesome amount you pumped!!! Woohoo!!!

@Mrs. High Heels: OMG! Look at that HAIR!!! How did some of you ladies get babies with hair??? Xander's losing what little hair he has! And look at all his rolls! I'm so curious how much he weighs - he looks like a little chubster, which I love!!! And I LOVE that Pooh bear! I wish I had the forethought to take pictures of Xander WITH a stuffed animal or something so you could really see how much he's growing. Oh well.

Xander's been napping for over an hour, you guys!! Like, consecutively! I'm thinking he must be sleeping off the vaccinations he got yesterday!

@travellingbee: haha, Xander's losing it in the back too, but he doesn't appear to be growing anymore!

And he's started squealing!!! He's testing out his lungs right now and it hurts my ears!

@Adira: aw!!! So cute!

Lukas slept almost 2 hrs again! Woohoo! And... I *think* we have a tooth coming through.

@Adira: @travellingbee: both of my kids came out with so much troll hair!! but his is falling out too, so it's thinning out and he has tufts of hair at random places. his is mostly balding in the back too, but his sideburns are still intact. i think i'm going to shave it all off soon, esp since it's getting so hot now. and you guys both got awesome nappers today!! i just put J down for his afternoon nap so hopefully he follows suit.

aww look at xander's face - he's loving his thumb!

@Mrs. Blue: nicee!!! go babies blue!

@Mrs. High Heels: I am love with that hair and chubby ness!! That is awesome you got so much sleep!!

@Adira: that picture is beyond adorable! Side note my iPhone just tried to auto correct adorable to Adira!

@travellingbee: That is a great nap. I wish we got those but she saves them for day care.

@Mrs. Blue: do you mean 4 month? So exciting! I thought R was going to roll back to front at the Bee meet up but she stopped and went back to her back.

So... I feel so bad. Hubs and I weren't taking proper care of Xander's circumcision (you have to make sure you push the skin back or else it will start to reattach) and part of it was reattaching, so we had to pull it apart tonight in his bath. It's now all raw and red... poor little guy! He didn't cry when we did it, but he was kicking his legs like mad. I feel so horrible.

But on a happier note, I love it when I read "I Love You As Much..." by Laura Kraus Melmed! He always looks up at me when I'm reading the "I Love You" line! It's like he knows what it means and wants to see me saying it to him.

@Adira: Poor guy! My cousins daughter privates grew together and had to get them surgical opened back up. Crazy huh!! And yes, we do talk too much. Too cute about the book. We need to be better about reading to R. She is just so fussy after her bath we go to nursing to bed.

@Mrs. Blue: we are getting 4 month pictures tomorrow. As long as the photographer still wants too since the weather is craptastic here. We will probably wait and take our 4 month picture with her month stats on the chalkboard next weekend

@Adira: I guess it happens, rare, but it does. Crazy. I think she is so fussy after bath cause we do it right before bedtime. Probably need to move it up 5 mins, so we can do bath, nurse, book, then bed. Lately she just gets so mad cause we put saline in her nose and use the Frida and she screams and screams. Poor thing.

@Mrs. High Heels: Sleep training is going way better then expected. She seems to get it. Tonight she fell asleep within 10 mins and didn't even fuss that much. So far the only time she has really cried is this morning when she woke up and we left in the crib hoping she would go back to bed since it was 730. We were hoping when she fell back asleep at 630, she would sleep longer.

@Adira: We try and do bath at 645 and then I nurse for 20-30 mins. She usually naps on the way home from DC, so it is a little after 5 when she wakes up when we get home, so we can't do it any later. Tonight her and I got home at 545 from the meetup, and she slept the way home, but she was so cranky, so everything was started 20 mins early.

@Adira: I meet a couple ladies for lunch in April. This one three came from TN. It was fun. Nice putting faces to the names. I wish we could all meet too!

She was out a little after 7. Some fussing but nothing bad at all. I think she was so tired didn't fight it. All her naps were in the car seat today cause we were gone most of the day. Have to make sure she naps good tomorrow since we ate getting her pictures taken at 530 since the photographer likes that sunlight.

@Adira: Seriously! We already scheduled her 8 month for November, lucky that will be 330 since the time change will have happened. Course watch then that will be her nap time.

@Smurfette: So glad to hear R's sleep is getting better. We are back to two night wakings, but that is bound to be disrupted as we head back to my mom's tomorrow.

@Adira: Hope your visit goes good tomorrow. I'm sure he will be a perfect gentleman. We had a family/friend BBQ today so that everyone back at DH's home could meet issac today. He was overtired and overstimulated and was still such a charmer. That sucks about the circumcision. I have been son diligent about this as the nurse kind of scared me about what could happen if I didn't.

@Mrs. High Heels: Look at all that hair! What a cutie.

@Mrs. Blue: Congrats on the roll! I bet your pictures are going to be awesome! I get to see our 3 month ones tomorrow and I'm so excited.

@travellingbee: I hope it isn't teeth. I think it is too early! Everyone keeps asking if Isaac is teething since he is so drooly, I sure hope not, I'm not ready.

One tired baby makes for a nursing marathon. Hopefully he sleeps well tonight.

Tonight is our last night with DH for just under two weeks. At least this stretch is a lot shorter. We are heading back to my moms tomorrow and DH will be going back to work. It has been a great two week vacation, but it went by too fast.
