Hellobee Boards

I thought that this was interesting, says that girls get teeth before boys

@Adira: Yep! 4 on the top already. Although one is still working it's whole way down. If you look at it though, they have the upper lateral incisors under toddler but 9-13month range and the lower is 10-16 month range.

@silver1: Jumping babies are the cutest! I bet your ikea crib might last longer than you think. I find their stuff to be surprisingly strong sometimes!

@Adira: Sounds like Xander is a rollercoaster of emotions these days! I'm glad he was in a good mood for you yesterday. I find that Pete always acts the worst and whiniest for me. He is such a little angel when everyone else is around and he totally puts on the whine for his mama! Sigh, I guess that's part of the bond.

@Smurfette: Pete has had less interest in bottles this week too. I've been trying to give more in his morning bottle, which he gulps down, and have upped that one to 8 ounces. At daycare, he has drank 10 ounces each day, and then around 2-3 ounces from his nighttime bottle. I hope that's enough!

Hope that tooth did indeed break through for you!

I can't believe that I just ordered 1st birthday invitations. I know really early, but my friend is due beginning of March so I wanted them off her plate. I ordered this skirt for her and going to order this onesie (in silver) for the party and her pictures. Just need a star headband!

@travellingbee: R's top side ones took 2 months to come in. How is the Nanny going? Sleep training?

Anyone else's LO going through ridiculous separation anxiety issues? He is glued to me lately and freaks out about even Daddy holding him- especially at night. Wearing me out.

@travellingbee: He is still getting sick?? I was hoping the nanny was helping with it.
She freaked out the beginning of Dec but over the holidays was great. She has her moments but for the most part good.

@shopaholic: I really appreciated your comment on my personal blog about her "blossoming from so much love" - I never looked at it that way, but it really made my day reading that! She is still introverted, but has come such a long way.

You are seriously a supermom! I don't know how you do it without K napping, but it seems like she's still such a happy girl even without her sleep! I hope she makes life a little easier for you when DH goes to Mammoth!

@Smurfette: Such a cute skirt and onesie! Are you going to get her a glittery headband too?

@Adira: @Smurfette: I'm with you guys that I prefer a mobile, independent baby that I don't have to hold all the time. I'm much more of a fan of the toddler stage than the newborn stage! It's just so much fun once they start doing things on their own. Longer stretches of sleep help too.

@Adira: J is still in his wonder week too! He used to be sooo good about playing on his own. I could just put him down and he'd explore and I could get stuff done, but this past month he gets crazy the moment I try to set him down. He definitely knows how to say "mama" now because every time he sees me and I don't pick him up, or if he's in someone else's arms he'll start chanting "mamamamamamaaa.." - breaks my heart, and since he's my 2nd I totally give in!!

@travellingbee: Major separation anxiety issues going on over here. It broke my heart leaving J to go to work this morning because he just looked SO SAD. J is definitely a mama's boy. Now I have a mama's girl AND a mama's boy. Oy vey. Glad to hear the nanny is working out well though! Hopefully that'll ease some of the stress and give you a little extra downtime to do other things.

@Mrs. High Heels: @Adira: I have 32 days left till this leap is over. Joy!
@Mrs. High Heels: Yes! I want a silver glittery star. I might try and make it myself.

Any chance there is room for one more little march monster and his mommy? My litle guy just turned 10 months on the 6th. I joined a little while ago and have seen this board off and on, and figured it was about time to finally jump in and say Hi!

@Smurfette: That outfit is so ridiculously cute. I won't lie. I am sooo behind on party planning and I have no energy to do anything for it. Maybe next week...

I'm SO tired. Had 3 girlfriends come over today/tonight. Cooked. Put away more holiday stuff.

I think I'm calling it an early night. I wish I could take something so I could sleep for 15 hours. And give some to K too. I need to catch up on zzzs....

@jodyblair: Yes, even when he was just babbling random consonants and coincidentally uttered "mama" it was so nice to hear. Melts my heart!

That's amazing that C sleeps til 7:30 am - that has never happened to me! I usually put J down around 7-7:30 pm, but the latest he'll wake up is 6:30 am… this month, with the wonder week going on, he's been waking up at 5:30 am. It's so stressful in the mornings because these days I can't try to wake up before him to get ready for work unless I want to wake up before 5.

@cheesehead: Welcome!!
@shopaholic: 15 hours of sleep would be heaven. I so miss being able to sleep in on the weekends and just lay in bed.
@dojo: Day care told me they thought February too, but then this morning her teacher said it probably won't be till March cause they have to wait till their a spot in the next room. And there is one boy older then R that will move up first. Great we just ordered invitations based on the fact that she would be moved up and on a different nap time. Oh well, guess we will just figure out nap that day.

@travellingbee: We put 2-4 since the next room naps 1130-230. Right now she naps at 9 and then goes down again at 130-230, depending on how long she naps in the morning.
If anything we can keep her up longer in the morning so she takes one longer nap.
I shouldn't worry about it cause I am sure she is going to change it between now and then anyway.

@Adira: Thanks! He really hasn't mastered the crawling at all! Apparently it wasn't cool enough or something!? I would have much rather he crawled for awhile first....maybe he would have better balance and not whack his head on everything! hahaha

@cheesehead: Welcome! Walking! Yay!
So L did an interesting thing last night. He is well enough to CIO again so we started anew. He went down fine (a few minutes of crying) but when he woke at 1230 he was inconsolable. So I fed him. Then he cried when I put him back in his crib. We kissed him and closed the door and then he cried for 1/2 hour-- we checked on him but this generally makes him more upset in the MOTN CIO. Anyway, after 1/2 hour, he just stopped crying and sat there. He waved his blankey in the air and played with his wubanub briefly, but mostly just sat there. For A HALF HOUR! Then he crawled to the head of the crib and laid down and went to sleep. Weirdo! He's never just sat in his crib like that! Then he slept the rest of the night.

@shopaholic: As exhausting as it may be it is so awesome that your sister has you to help out. I can't believe all the words that K says. I hope your solo week goes well and you don't get too exhausted.

@Smurfette: Yesterday Isaac would not have any cereal until he ate half a banana, then he was interested. So now I'm trying to do finger foods for all three meals. Such an adorable outfit!

@Smurfette: @Adira: Being home all day every day is very hard and tiring. I don't know how mama's do it with more kiddo's. Although the last month or so is getting easier as he is getting more independent, and especially now that he can crawl and get the toys he wants. Part of me looks forward to going back to work and him going to daycare, even though I will miss the heck out of him.

@jodyblair: I hope he keeps up sleeping through the night that is awesome!

@dojo: I haven't done any party planning either! That seems crazy that he is already moving up rooms. They are growing too fast.

@cheesehead: Welcome! I can't believe he is walking! And what a good sleeper you have, can he teach Isaac about sleep?!?!

@travellingbee: That is good that he is only waking up once. Hopefully soon he will get it. And at least he wasn't crying the whole time.

Our last two nights have been a bit better. Last night he woke up at 11pm screaming and then didn't wake again until 4:30am but then I could not get him to go back to sleep after nursing. He was not happy but didn't want to be cuddled, but didn't want to be away from me. Finally just before 6 he nursed and dozed off for about 20 min. Then DH got up with him so I could sleep until he left for work.

But getting up twice is better than three times. Hopefully tonight will be better.

@Adira: So when I picked up R yesterday they said that they laid her down for an afternoon nap and she vomited all over her sheet. They only even noticed it cause of the smell. I guess the bug Xander had is in GA. They had to send one girl home cause she vomited three times in a row. She hardly drank any of her bottles yesterday, so I guess that is why. She seemed fine to me, gave her applesauce for dinner, and she drank most of her bottle. This morning she drank all 7 ozs, so hopefully she is feeling better
