Hellobee Boards

@Smurfette: haha, I don't know that I'd say "Yay" to teeth! I'm scared of them! And he's definitely been fussier as this tooth comes up.

Awww, so cute R was eating her toes! I don't know why that's so adorable to me, but I love it! Although it makes diaper changes a little challenging, haha.

So I'm sick and stayed home today, but that meant that I didn't have to wake up Xander to eat at 5:30 and he ended up sleeping 9.5 hours last night!!!! Woohoo!

@Adira: and I will add I will take her eating her feed over crying and moving all over the place any day.

@Smurfette: haha, true! Xander lives in footed sleepers, so he LOVES diaper changes because he can finally get to his toes! It's so cute, but I'm always like "Put that leg down so I can get this side of the diaper on!"

@ALV91711: Thanks! Luckily I have tomorrow off, so I won't have to take another day off from work, and hopefully I'm all better by Monday!

@Adira: At least he isn't screaming.

If we put down Isaac and he is not asleep or almost asleep he screens. Like a pissed off shriek/scream. Did this for almost an hour last night at about 12:30. At least DH dealt with him.

@ALV91711: @Smurfette: So true! I guess I'm pretty lucky that even if he won't sleep, he can entertain himself! He did eventually fall asleep after her found the A&A blanket I had hanging over the side of the crib and pulling it down on himself, haha.

@ALV91711: Yikes - sorry to hear about the rough night! Glad your husband was there to help out though!

@Smurfette: haha, I actually do that sometimes and it's amazing how well it works!!!

I can't believe you have to lower the crib already! Xander's no where near pulling himself up at all yet! R is so advanced!

@Smurfette: OMG, that's crazy! R's going to be running around while Xander's still working on crawling, haha.

@ALV91711: Isaac sounds like Xander. He's a great sitter (although sometimes still topples), but I have no idea how he's ever going to learn to crawl because he still doesn't seem interested in tummy time at all, haha. Oh well!

@Smurfette: That's so sweet that she crawls to you! Xander often ignore me when I show up at daycare, haha.

@travellingbee: I didn't ask the teacher. But the one time she did at home, she was crawling and then pulled herself up from that. She is trying to sit up when I put in the car seat. But nowhere close to sitting up from laying down, at least not that I know of.

@travellingbee: We lent our friends, due any day now, the RnP but she was trying to get out of it. I buckle her in the bouncy seat when she wakes up early and I am still getting ready.
Exciting he is pulling himself up to sitting from the car seat.
7.5 months!! That is crazy! Although @aprk: A's is already cruising, so he will probably be walking by then too.

Maybe I will start practicing sitting with R.......

@Mrs. High Heels: The first couple weeks seemed kind of rough on him, but this past week, he seemed totally happy there, so I think he's adjusted to her being gone. There's a new lady there who seems pretty good with the babies and I think he seems to like her okay.

As far as solids goes, we've still just done cereal, but yesterday he actually seemed to swallow some, so we're getting there! And he seems to like it now - he seems excited when I get the spoon out and he opens his mouth wide. He's just not so good at actually closing his mouth and swallowing, haha. And he's always grabbing at the spoon.

@Adira: So big!! He looks huge!! And I know he doesn't weight that much more then R. How long is he?

@Adira: Geesh, R was 25 at 6 months. My little peanut.

@Adira: Maybe he will be a basketball player!

A is pulling up to stand on everything and his new favorite is to climb all over me like a jungle gym. It's cute but way too fast!! And I'm exhausted. He never slows down and HATES to sit.

So I just tried sweet potatoes again. I decided to just mix a small amount of the sweet potatoes with his cereal to see how that went and as soon as he tasted it, he was totally grossed out and refused to open his mouth again. So then I made just plain cereal and got him to eat that and while he was eating it, I gave him some of the sweet potato mixture and he didn't seem to notice! Interesting...

@aprk: he is like Super Baby!!
@Adira: interesting! Trick him again to get his veggies!

Ugh, sometimes I hate my husband. He's being such a jerk. I asked him to help me with Xander and he totally didn't get why I wanted help and told me to just let him do it and then when I tried to explain why it would've been better if we were BOTH doing it, he just started swearing at me and being a jerk RIGHT IN FRONT of Xander!!! I tried to tell him that he can be mad at me all he wants and swear at me all he wants but to NOT do it right in front of our son! And then he just started swearing even MORE and getting LOUDER and just telling me to F off! So I told him to get out and I took over with Xander so that his father wasn't just swearing at his mother RIGHT THERE. I was so pissed!!! I get that Xander doesn't really understand what's going on - but is that really something he wants to teach his son? That it's okay to swear at his wife (or mother) and disrespect her like that??? I wanted to swear right back at him but I have WAY too much respect for both him AND Xander to do that. But clearly he doesn't feel the same way!! A-hole.
