Hellobee Boards

@aprk: sorry you had a bad night too. I am already dreading work tomorrow.
@ALV91711: I am excited for you!!! It will be so good to be home.
@travellingbee: How did you sleep train??

She didn't crawl lots of getting up on all 4's and rocking back and forth. So bummed day care will see it first this week. Sad Mommy and Daddy!

@Smurfette: Sorry about the sleep. Honestly, since the rolling has begun, I've had to nurse K back to sleep every night at least once. Beyond the first couple of days, I don't mind so much anymore. I feel like she's growing so fast, who knows when will our last MOTN feeding be. I'm getting sappy.

Nordstrom sells some Sophie leashes, but I found these on Amazon for MUCH cheaper. And I like that I could get black ones.

I think your daycare should NOT tell you if she starts crawling and let you be surprised!

K's been wanting to crawl sort of! I mean, I know she somehow moves herself all the way UP the length of the crib each night, but I think it's her doing pikes and inching up there! She even tried to crawl towards my friend's baby today. It was so cute! She was trying to touch the baby non-stop and grabbing on her sleeves! eek!

@silver1: I know what you mean about the price of the jumperoo. I only gave back the one my friend lent us for the doorway because our only doorway that would work was too narrow and not really visible to keep an eye on her. I think she hit her hand on the side when I wasn't right next to her and she started crying. So... just went with the jumperoo.

J is so adorable! Look at those big eyes and head of hair!

@Smurfette: maybe she won't crawl at daycare this week and will wait until next weekend.

@silver1: I love all his hair.

I think it will be a while before Isaac gets good at rolling or tries to crawl. He likes to be sitting up so much and would rather do this. His balance is getting pretty good.

@ALV91711: I would rather her sit up then crawl. Being mobile scares me!
@Adira: It isn't going....CIO didn't work at all Saturday night. Last night she woke up at 2 and then woke up at 530 for the day. But then fell back asleep on the way to day care. She didn't eat til 6, so I don't think hunger woke her up. At least last night it was only one wake up. DH asked me this morning, did she even wake up? Jerk

thanks ladies keep thinking I should style his hair somehow. I should lookup on pinterest!
@shopaholic: Omg K is going to crawl!! it is so cute about her interest in baby!! sorry she got hurt on jumper. How wide is your doorway? mine is standard one so wondering.
@Smurfette: Maybe R will just keep strengthening planks at daycare and then next weekend she'll crawl first time for you!! We don't have exercauser Im just thinking to get one of these.
@Adira: Oh thatz good to know we are planning to get just one so maybe I m going to just skip exerciser and choose between jumper or jumperoo

@silver1: I know one good way to have them work on standing with the exersaucer is to just stand them on the outside and have them hold onto the top and play with the activities that way. We haven't tried it with Xander yet because he's not nearly stable enough, but it's an option!

@travellingbee: aww, R got one after her first week too Do you have a humidifier going?

@Smurfette: I hate it when they sleep right through a waking. Some nights it will be the second time we are up and DH will make a comment of how long he went and how great that is without even knowing we had already been up.

Today Isaac discovered his thumb. He always has fingers or knuckles in his mouth and chews/sucks on them. Today he was sucking on his thumb. I hope that this passes and he doesn't become a thumb sucker.

@Adira: That is a good idea to practice standing.

@Smurfette: I'm hoping R doesn't crawl at daycare this week and will wait until next weekend.

Ugh now he has diarrhea too. miserable baby. Daycare said he's been nearly inconsolable and I'm waiting for a call back from the doctor.

@ALV91711: I wouldn't worry about him becoming a thumb-sucker if he's just now found it. K sucks her thumb to self-soothe, but it's not a constant thing so I don't worry too much. You can try offering him a paci if you're concerned.

@silver1: Thanks. Yeah, it seems like a small door (between the kitchen and dining room). Yay for GCs!

@shopaholic: I'm sorry your feeling so crappy. I hope it goes away soon.

Isaac finally just rolled from back to front! I almost didn't even see it as I was checking my email! I'm excited but kind of scared for him to put the two together and make himself mobile.

@shopaholic: Hope you feel better soon!
@ALV91711: Yay!!! Go Isaac!

@silver1: Xander's not very stable either, but I actually tried it with him the other day and was impressed with how long he COULD stand! I just hand my hands on him for balance and to catch him is he buckled, but I think he was so occupied with the toys on the exersaucer, that he stood longer than he normally does!

@ALV91711: Good luck with the thumb! I'm nervous about Xander being a thumb sucker because he likes to suck on his ALL THE TIME! He'll even try to sneak it in his mouth while I'm nursing!!!

@shopaholic: Sorry to hear you're so sick!! That's one of the good things about having Xander in daycare - I sent him in yesterday when I was sick so I could REST! I just had to wake up every 3 hours to pump, haha. I don't know how you do it!!! I hope you feel better soon!!

@ALV91711: haha, yeah! He'll be nursing away and I won't be paying attention and then I'll suddenly feel like he's not sucking as well as normal and I glance down and he's got a thumb in there with my boob!!! I'm like "WTF are you doing??" It's definitely a serious habit for him! I'm just hoping he doesn't suck it until he's 12!

Happy 5th Month Birthday Isaac!!!! They grow up some damn fast!

@shopaholic: Oh sweet! I hope it's true that it's just a phase! I can totally see him sucking his thumb in college, hahaha.

@Mrs. High Heels: @shopaholic: Yay! I'm so glad Xander's not the only one that does this!

@Mrs. High Heels: OMG, I can't believe he's almost 6 months!!!!

@shopaholic: i've started realllly inconsistently... so far we've only done 1 meal a day 3x in the last week. this morning i gave him some banana. he only got a few spoonfuls and it all dribbled out of his mouth!

i tried to put some slices in front of him too, but he wasn't really going for it.

@shopaholic: L too! He's totally into the dog lately. The dog-- not so much into L.

He still has diarrhea but no fever. I don't know if it is from teething or a stomach thing but day care doesn't seem to mind that he is there.... I keep waiting for a call... And his sleep is crap right now and I feel like I can't do anything about it since he is sick and teething. I am pooped.

This morning, I was pumping at work and the power went out!!! UGH! I found another girl that I work with that has a battery pack for the PISA and was able to finish but by the time I got back to it, it was like starting all over again. I couldn't get a let down-- it took FOREVER! No idea what caused the outage but it lasted for a couple of hours!

Finally, Little L seems to be making an attempt to crawl. He does this thing where he plants his face down and pushes up onto his knees or feet and then pushes/scoots forward. Almost like he is doing the worm, LOL. He made it across the whole bed this morning. Funny little guy.
Phew that was a lot- haven't caught up in while!

@Smurfette: Has she made any crawling progress?! So exciting!

@Smurfette: Aw I love baby laughing!!! So cute! Yeah, his bottom two are about to break through. But they have been for a week and still nothing. Sigh.
