@Smurfette: WTH? "R walked … sat at the table" what what what? She is just all toddler already!

O.M.G. I basically had a meltdown and called DH at work to rant for 1/2 hr.

K napped ONCE, less than an hour, today. I spent over an hour to try and get another nap in. Full blown hysterics. I actually thought she was in pain. Stripped her naked even to check! DH thinks she will be one of those kids who entirely won't nap by 18 months. She was awake for 8 hrs straight yesterday. Everything is being suggested as a reason: Daylight Savings change, teething, not tired… I think maybe it could be a milestone? Like maybe she's almost about to walk? I read that is another reason for a big regression?

Anyone with walkers can confirm if this happened before walking? I'm at my wits end with naps. Every month, it's like it gets better, sucks again, gets better, goes to crap.

@Mrs. Blue: @Smurfette: happy birthday to your littles!!!

@Adira: Yeah she fined to us. She was tired cause she took one nap and had been up since 130. But at least it was a god nap. She sucked down some pedialyte and then formula before bed.

R weighs 19.15lbs, so let's just say 20lbs! 28.5" tall. 50% and 40%.
The pedi said ideally 12-24ozs of milk a day. But if she doesn't want to drink milk that is fine just make sure she has enough cheese and yogurt. She said that if some days she won't drink during that day that is fine. She will drink when thirsty. She did drink 6ozs formula this morning. The shots were rough this time. Big huge tears.
@Mrs. Blue: What!? That is nuts!

@Adira: No way R is going to be close to 24ozs! But she can put down some cheese so I am ok with it.
3 shots! One in each leg and then the chicken pox was in the arm. The pedi warned us at 15 and 18 months they know the doctor and those are even worse. Great!!

@Adira: Yeah we had 3 before too. I just don't remember tears this big before. She calmed down after we got her dressed and DH held her while I checked out. I was nervous cause it was the first time we didn't stick a bottle in her mouth after.
She said that we don't have to be so great about teeth brushing till 18 months. But start working on it. Right now we are back to brushing with a wash cloth 2 times a day. She doesn't fight as much that way.
We talked about her sleep but she said that their isn't really much R needs to work on before 15 months. Said that she was doing great.

@Adira: They did ask if she was on a bottle still, formula or milk, and if she was eating table food. The nurse was impressed when I said that was all she was eating. So I guess that means plenty of 1's old are still on purees like Xander.
When I dropped R off, she went to the toddler room and there were 3 kids still drinking bottles. I know the teacher said R eats better then some of the 18 month old, that a couple still are on purees. So I wouldn't worry to much about it. When is your appointment?

@ALV91711: So glad your Mom is there for the birthday fun!! I am sorry about the sleep. I hope he gets back on track!

Y'all these shots suck!!! She had 101.6 fever tonight. I guess cause she was walking all day she didn't even want us to put her down tonight. Any pressure on her legs and arm =bloody murder cries. So fussy and tired. You could just look at her and see that she didn't feel good. I gave her the bottle back in her room with the lights dimmed. Luckily she drank most of it and then fell asleep with me rocking her. I hope she wakes up my happy smiley baby!

@Mrs. High Heels: Aww I am so sorry!!! Sickness is so hard when it just gets passed around. R and I both have runny noses again:(
Fingers crossed J and you stay healthy and you can go see your niece this weekend!!
@Adira: I hope so too. It is breaking my heart. Glad she went to sleep easily and by 7.

Last night was rough!! She woke up at 1, finally at 3 I tried her laying in bed with us. She finally fell asleep at 330, and woke up at 5 screaming. Couldn't calm her down so more Tylenol at 530. Bottle at 6 and lucky she feel asleep for an hour. I am so tired. We are playing in bed cause I sent DH to the couch (no sheets on the guest bed) cause he was snoring so loud and makin her jump. All three of us are so congested. Staying home with her today. Fingers crossed for first nap!

@Adira: 90% shots. She was just so restless. With teething Tylenol will knock her out.

@Adira: She is in a great mood right now!

@Adira: He did a little better last night, no screaming fits.

@Mrs. High Heels: I hope you are all feeling better and that you get to go have some snuggles with your nephew soon.

@Smurfette: That is a tough night. I hope she takes some good naps today and starts to feel better. I hope you get a nap today too.

Our guest list for our birthday party has just dropped drastically. It looks like there may only be 5 of us, that includes the birthday boy. My MIL can't come out now as her mother is very sick in the hospital and so DH's aunt flew home to be with them. Then my friend and her daughter may not make it as her son made it to the provincials for bball and it is this weekend, so it just depends how far his team goes.

I guess this means less cupcakes to decorate.

@Mrs. High Heels: Oh so sorry you are having a rough time. Hope you all feel better soon and visit your new nephew!!
@ALV91711: Oh no sorry about people not making it. I hate it when ppl dropout at last minute hopefully you have not gotten too much food etc. but I am with @Adira the b'day baby only needs his parents to have fun and good time hope you have a great day and lots of pics too!!!
@Smurfette: Oh no atleast she is not in pain and hopefully her gums are better now. Poor R
We took J to doc as cough is still going on almost a week now and he has not been eating solids but doc said its just a common cold and nothing to worry about. I was so relieved. We also got his weight and height checked and its 22.5 and 31inches!! I have chalkboard stats In evening just as cough was getting better, our cat scratched J and he started crying hysterics. Nothing major but I felt so bad and worried he would start coughing again Our cat is a sweetie and J is still learning to be gentle. Mom fail need to keep a closer eye on both!
