Hellobee Boards

@Smurfette: We've been missing a nursing session here and there most days (usually the one between naps). I'm not supplementing with any other kind of milk, but she just doesn't seem as hungry when she has more solids.

@Adira: No help on the taxes. My FIL does ours. We rarely get anything back, so I don't expect anything.

@Smurfette: I know R is making you worry. I have no idea what's going on - but K is being strange the past couple of days too. WW?

K didn't take an afternoon nap today. Just refused and cried and wasn't calming down for 40 min. I gave up. I have too much stuff to do. lol She seemed happy though once she was out. The past 2 nights have been horrible getting her down to sleep! Last night DH had to go in there and rock her to sleep. He thinks she is learning how to get her way. But then he is also the one who goes in to rock her to sleep. I'm hoping it's just a WW thing. Or teething. I think she's teething again and that's why she wouldn't nap either. Yesterday I discovered the side of her crib has been gnawed on a bunch of spots! It wasn't there before and I've never seen her chew on the crib, so I hadn't bothered with a guard.

@Adira: not done taxes yet. DH got a raise and my guess is we would make too much to qualify for the credit. I would be happy if we don't owe any!!
@Smurfette: LO still gets a bottle at lunchtime and one in late afternoon in addition to his morning and nighttime bottles. He is not a great eater though and loves his milk.
So the past few nights my arm has been tired and hurting while giving LO his nighttime bottle. I cradle him on my arm and most of weight and rock him as well after he finishes. He couldn't have suddenly gained weight.. DH thinks he weighs atleast 24-25 pounds. He was 21.5 at 9mo appt. Trying to figure this one out. This is my only cuddle time and don't wan't to stop that yet. How do you feed LO bottles?

@Smurfette: what is a pillow door support?

@silver1: Opps pillow for support!!

@ALV91711: @Adira: R stood up comfortably, 10+ seconds for about a month before she started walking walking. Probably was a couple week before she took her first step.

@Adira: She is congested and this morning was coughing. She woke up at 540, urg, and was about to fall back asleep and started coughing. Fell asleep on the way to school, which she hasn't done in forever, but again coughing woke her up. She also spit up a lot of mucus this morning, all over DH!

@Adira: Seriously. We have had like 3 weeks of no runny nose since Oct......over winter

Well I guess she is just over her bottles. She refused her morning bottle as well. Her teacher called me to make sure she was supposed to get the sippy cup with milk with lunch or just a snack. Said she is drinking the milk at least. I guess this makes weaning easier. But darn it, we just opened a new container of formula! Not even half gone. And we have a whole other container not opened, you can't return those can you?

@ALV91711: I would be pooped too!

R has barely drank anything today. She ate some banana and pancake for breakfast and then would only eat pouches for the rest of the day I don't know what is going on with her. DH thinks he feels the molars. We gave her some Tylenol before bed. She was at 98, but she felt really hot to both of us.
I wish she could talk and tell us what is wrong. She was in a good mood through. So no clue what is going on.

Also we have to hold her down to brush her teeth this days. Torture!

@silver1: Luckily we got her to take a bottle in the am and pm. But she still didn't eat or drink much today. We feel the teeth now but they haven't cut through.

@Smurfette: I hope they cut through soon and she goes back to eating and drinking.

Isaac has the rosy teething cheeks again this afternoon, why can't we just have a break. His upper gums are slightly swollen, so I suspect the top ones beside the front will come next. I can't see or feel anything.

@QueensBee: I can't believe he is walking so much, that is awesome. Too cute eating the raw yam.

@Adira: I hope that the party was fun today, the pictures of the decorations all looked great.

@shopaholic: All the pictures from your party look great. K looked so adorable in her dress. I'm really glad the weather held out for you.

Yesterday Isaac walked with his walker for the first time. He went about 9 feet, it was so cool. Of course he hasn't done it again.

Tonight I could not get him to settle down for bed. Usually nursing makes him pretty drowsy, but he was wide awake. So I sat in his chair to rock him and get him drowsy to put him down. He was fidgeting around and making all sorts of noise and then all of a sudden he just passed right out.

@Smurfette: I hope it was your day to sleep in yesterday and not today, since she slept later.

It worked out for me this weekend that he slept later on my day to get up.

@Adira: I don't know any FB groups. I have a girlfriend being induced today, her 3rd, and she isn't trying BF this time. Last two she never got milk. And another due in July, so I can always give to them if Costco won't let me return it. I just want to know what is going on with her. Not like her to now want to eat. And I am worried she isn't getting enough nutrients since she won't drink milk now. She did drink 6ozs of formula this morning. I sent no bottles to day care. So nice not having to make any.
Is he doing ok drinking the hemp milk? Yay for less pumping!

@Adira: I tried formula once in a sippy and straw cup and she wanted nothing to do with it. Let me know how today goes!

@Adira: She was drinking it with meals fine till starting Thursday and all weekend won't touch it.

@Adira: I hate that whining when they don't get what they want. I always say just because you are the baby doesn't mean you can do/have whatever you want! I hope that giving him his milk at lunch today works out and yay for pump weaning!! It will be awesome when you have that time back in your day.

@Smurfette: Costco is usually pretty good about taking things back. I hope she starts drinking some milk/formula again. It is hard when they don't eat/drink as much as normal.

@QueensBee: The sweet potato story is so cute! Funny boy.

@Adira:

@ALV91711: That is a great weight and height. I wouldn't worry about percentages too much.

I would let him CIO as well. I think at this age he isn't going to get the if I cry after 2 I get to eat and if I cry at 1, then I don't get fed. Do you think that he is really eating that much over night? Or more of a comfort thing?

R was up 3 times a night when we sleep trained at 6 months. I don't know that she was eating all that much but we went cold turkey. She started eating better during the day. It was long 3 nights but it worked.
Hugs I know that it is a hard decision.
