@Adira: It's amazing how long you've stuck with that pump session! Yay for pump weaning! I am down to two feedings a day and not gonna lie, I feel like I have so much time back and it feels gooood!

@Smurfette: Thank you!!

@Adira: Pump weaning will be awesome! Saying uh oh is so cute.

Looks like the 10:30 wake up is not gone. Last night he went at it for 2 hours. He is just so persistent. At least DH is home today and got up with him so I could sleep in a bit. I'm hoping when we go to the ped in a week she will have some ideas of what to do since everything we try seems to not work.

@Adira: I agree. His longest stretch lately is 4 hours. And he doesn't sleep too much in the day, his two naps combined are just over 2 hours usually. I'm hoping he'll just magically learn. He did have a very short period of time were he slept 9-10 hours, nursed and then slept a couple more, so he can do it.

I must stop etsy shopping. I keep buying things for Isaac! I bought him a birthday shirt, a growth chart and labels for daycare this week.

@Smurfette: @Mrs. High Heels: @Adira: Thanks! We had a nice day off with him

We had Liam's 12 month appt yesterday and got his stats:

Length: 28.5 inches
Weight: 20 lbs
Head: 18.7 inches

He had to get shots and a finger prick which did not turn out well (and now we have to go back to a blood draw next week since his doctor didn't believe that the super low results on the hemoglobin test were accurate.

Other than his appointment we went out for a fun breakfast (he ate a lot!). We were originally going to try and do something fun the rest of the day but we decided to work on getting things ready for his party instead so we went to Costco, did some decorating at home, and got Chinese takeout for dinner. I can't believe he's already one! The year has flown by!

Also I quit pumping and it is amazing!!!

@ALV91711: I am so sorry! Have you tried just plain old CIO? Not checks nothing? that has to be so tough.
That reminds me I need to ask my Dad where our growth cart is. He said he would make me one. He is really good with wood working.
@Adira: so cute!! R now thinks it is fun to walk/crawl away from me when I tell her to come here or we go in her room and she knows it is bedtime.
@dojo: Those are great stats! Glad that y'all have had a great day. I am sorry about the blood results. What does that mean?

@Smurfette: we have a wooden growth chart! that's awesome he is good at woodworking, it comes in handy for so many things! maybe he should sell growth charts bc the wooden ones aren't cheap.

@ALV91711: we have these name stickers - we really like them. http://www.namebubbles.com/Default.aspx

@dojo: oh i hope everything comes out ok with the blood results! what did the doctor say was concerning?

@Adira: This is the growth chart. Yes, I return to work on March 18th. I noticed today a tooth coming in and tonight in 2.5 hours he has woken up three times, although he has fallen right back asleep after I turned his music back on but still.

@dojo: Good stats! Sounds like a fun birthday. I hope his birthday party is lots of fun!

@Smurfette: I really like the wooden ruler growth charts but I don't know anyone close by to do one for us. That is so awesome that you have your dad to make all sorts of cool things for R.

@Mrs. High Heels: I can't wait to have labels, I'm sure a lot of our tupperware is going to end up with Isaac's name on it!

@Adira: I hope that teething is the root of the problem, but this is only tooth 6 that he is working on, so there are so many more to come!

He is doing such a sad, sleepy cry. Just go to sleep, mama wants to go to sleep.

@ALV91711: i hope he went to sleep shortly after you wrote that

@ALV91711: how was the rest of the night? We can't feel anything but R keeps cries out in her sleep. I have the stomach bug DH had last week, so between her and me, I got no sleep. DH got up with her, who has decided 5 is a great to wake up for the day again:( so much for date night tonight. I am still laying in bed, this sucks.
@shopaholic: my Dad is making one like the last one you showed.

@shopaholic: not belated for my guy yet! his actual bday is today!! the growth chart we have is almost identical to the 2nd picture you posted, but we don't have it personalized! i like the colored ones you posted too!

@ALV91711: thank you!

@Smurfette: aww feel better - stomach bugs suck. maybe you'll feel better by tonight so that you can still have a date night!

@ALV91711: oh poor mama! it's rough when they revert back to waking up every 2 hours... i hope his sleep improves again soon!

@Adira: Yay!! R seriously loves bath time. We say R you want to take a bath and she walks over to the bathroom. She stands there banging on the tub till we get her stripped down and in the tub. She loves to play with the water when filling up the tub.

@Mrs. High Heels: I felt better but not enough to go out. I was asleep at 930! And just now waking up.
@Adira: Yep! Once I get the water to the right temp we throw her in there. We have been using the tub for months now, maybe October/November. She loves the more room to splash!

@Adira: we've been using the regular tub since J was 10 months too... as soon as he was sitting up strongly on his own. for us, it just makes more sense to bathe both my kids together - they have so much fun! i only fill up the bath to waist level.

@Smurfette: at least you got your rest! hope you get in a raincheck date night soon! i don't know how you solo parent 4x a week! DH owes you a momcation

@Adira: oh no!! feel better you and smurfette must be more than online bff's!
