@Smurfette: At least you have the excuse of not seeing your husband every day! I don't even have that, haha! And that's awesome that he's so understanding - my husband isn't. He just complains about how much I neglect him... which doesn't really get me in the mood! I'm just hoping once we start eating dinner sooner, things will improve! And I'm going to TRY to make him more of a priority. I think if we can get back into our groove of spending more time together, he'll be more open to baby #2! And having a date night is a good idea!!! I hope you're able to have one soon!

@Adira: We go on the 13th as well!! Two days after her 6 month bday. Hopefully Friday the 13th won't mean bad weighs for our babies.

@Adira: 930!

Boo!!! Hubs is messing up my solids plan!! He's supposed to be making dinner right now and he's not even home yet!!!

@travellingbee: Nice!!! Xander never sleeps that long during the day!!

Hubs is finally home and I immediately set him to cooking! Xander's taking a short after-nursing catnap and then it will be food time!!!

I think this face says it all: WTF is this and why are you trying to put it in my mouth??

@Smurfette: Nope!!! He hated it!!

@Smurfette: I got a spoonful in his mouth, but his expression was just horrified and he let most of it fall out. When I tried to give him more, he pretty much clamped his lips shut and frowned at me!

ETA: His expression pretty much told me that he thought it was disgusting!

@Smurfette: Yeah, I'll definitely try again tomorrow!! And I might try adding some BM too. I'm not too concerned about it. It was fun having a family dinner.

@Adira: oh did yall eat at the same time? That is so cute!!

@Adira: So cute. I'm sure after a few tries he will realize how delicious food is. So cute in his high chair.

@shopaholic: Loving the bling!

Isaac goes for shots on the 18th of Sept. I'm looking forward to find out his stats.

@shopaholic: so cute!! How did she react?

I weighed myself and then with R. High scientific but it says she weighs 15 lbs, which means she gained 2lbs in August, so I am thinking that can't be right.

@ALV91711: @Adira: @Smurfette: @dojo: Thank you ladies! It was REALLY hard to get any picture of her looking at the camera w/the earrings today. I also put her in the stroller seat for the first time and she was so curious and kicking her legs non-stop.

She only napped a total of 52 min. today (and 20 of that was on the boob). She was the biggest fussy-butt ever at dinner tonight! I had to take her by myself to Korean BBQ for my BFF's last dinner out before baby #2 (she gets induced tomorrow morning). K wouldn't sit, she was just loud and been arching her back for the last 2 days. Seriously exhausting. Is anyone else's LO starting to act fussier than normal? I don't know what to blame this on. Growth spurt, Wonder Week, end of the "you can't spoil a baby" - is it possible she's starting to get tot he point where she CAN be spoiled if I react to her fussing? It was just really tough and unusual tonight!

@Smurfette: It was also difficult to get her ears marked - took 3 of us over 30 min. to get the precise markings we were okay with. She just kept moving! Cried for about a minute after getting pierced, but then I just nursed her. And she was fine by the time we left the office, smiling at the nurses!

@dojo: Maybe he's not ready for solids yet.

@dojo: Definitely COULD be teething! She's been doing weird things with her lower jaw - makes for funny pictures! But I feel like I've been saying she's been "teething" for 2 months already! I still see a lot of white little dots and it has been harder feeling for about a week. But then she will laugh and smile when I entertain her - so not sure if it's teething then?

I'm okay if K's not ready for solids yet either! Actually, the weird thing that I feel strange about giving her is water. IDK why - I wonder if they "need" it since we were told they didn't need it until now?

@Mrs. High Heels:

@dojo: Oh no!!! Sorry Liam threw up on you! Xander wasn't a fan of the sweet potato I gave him either. Hopefully we'll find SOMETHING they like!

@shopaholic: I feel like I've been saying that Xander's been teething for months too! And I don't even see any evidence of any teeth coming up, so maybe I'm just using it as an excuse every time he's fussy! Who knows!!! Hope K gets back to normal for you soon.

@Mrs. High Heels: Yikes! So sorry to hear your sleep struggles!!!

@Adira: Thanks! She's had so many of the symptoms for months already - even the doctor told me so. But I will be perfectly fine if she doesn't get teeth for another 3 or 4 months! lol!

@Smurfette: The UB Vista. She seemed to really like it a lot! I still used a snuggler inside to keep her from rolling around side to side. I know... what is this stupid wonder "week" deal? We're in a wonder "month!"

Well - her stool always seems "loose"? I mean, isn't all EBF poop runny and loose? She is ALWAYS drooling and spitting up...

@dojo: I love avocado too. But I think it might be an acquired taste as they get older. I mean, entirely plain, avocado doesn't taste like much!

@shopaholic: Oh fun!!! Good luck at the beach! We've been, but not REALLY. We went to a little beach for a friend's LO's birthday party and we were only there for maybe 2 hours, so I didn't have to bring all my gear and we kept Xander in the stroller almost the whole time we were there to keep him in the shade. And my pediatrician gave us the go-ahead to use sun screen on them before 6 months - it's better than getting burnt! Good luck to you!!

@Adira: Thanks! I think I'll only do 2-3 hours too.

@Smurfette: Yay! I've never heard a bad thing about the BOB. I'm getting one too for walking/running and for the mountains/hiking. I hate making the wheels on my UBV nasty (there's lots of weird seed things on the trail I walk). I've just been waiting for a day DH can go with me to pick one up. My GF had the Bugaboo Cameleon, Orbit, UB G Luxe, and the BOB. She said she loves the BOB the best and sold the first 2 super-expensive strollers!
