    C, DD, 11/27/12

    How many teeth? 8 teeth. Been 8 for awhile now.

    What size clothes? All 12 months now!

    Cruising, Crawling, or Walking? Speedy crawler. Great with her walker. Taken a few wobbly steps but doesn't like to stand without holding onto something.

    How many ounces of formula/ and or Breast Milk per day? 20-24 ounces a day. 8-9 of those are pumped breastmilk, the rest formula

    How many solid meals a day? 3 and a PM snack

    How many words? None. Lots of babbling and chatting I'm her nonsense baby language.

    Next Milestone that you are looking forward to: walking! I can't wait for her to not have to touch the floor with her hands
    constantly and then wach her shove them right in her mouth

    Any plans for TTC? Nope! Not on the radar at all.

    total mom brain move -- ~20 oz breastmilk, don't know why i wrote formula i'm concerned he's not having enough milk tho!

    i'm guessing he gets 6-8 oz in our AM session, 6-8 oz (in 2 btls) while i'm gone, and then maybe 5 at our bedtime? ~20oz at BEST. he does eat 3 solid meals and snacks... he eats a ton portion wise. should i scale back the solids and offer more nursing?

    @mrsjyw: if it were me, i'd just continue doing what you're doing. esp if hes eating balanced meals (which it seems like he is) and gaining weight fine. i think we're going to have to start lowering milk intake soon anyway so its good that he's getting used to it alittle earlier. unless there are weight issues i wouldn't change anything

    Yay! I don't get much to time to post any more, so I'm glad to reconnect!

    E, DD, 11/20/13

    How many teeth? Five. 3 bottom, 2 top. I think another bottom and one molar are on the way though.

    What size clothes? Her 12 month clothes are getting pretty short, so I've moved on 18 months (and even a couple 18-24 mos....yikes!). She's a tall one!!

    Cruising, Crawling, or Walking? Cruising & crawling, but only walking with a walker. She's just figured out how to stand on her own though, so I can't imagine it will be too long. (Not ready!)

    How many ounces of formula/ and or Breast Milk per day? No clue....I'm struggling to get the bottles right for daycare. I've been sending three and she is only taking two. I'm guessing somewhere around 20oz between six nursing/bottles a day.

    How many solid meals a day? Three.

    How many words? None yet, but she babbles a ton. And you can totally tell now that she "thinks" she is saying something.

    Next Milestone that you are looking forward to: Still looking forward to that magical day when she STTN....ha!! First words too!

    Any plans for TTC? Nope. :(. The husband and I still have different goals for that. (He wants to be one and done.)

    @mrsjyw: I think 20oz is fine? I asked our doc and she said they need 12oz as a bare minimum at this age to make sure they are getting the nutrients they need. So I'd guess that 20oz would be very much in the normal range. That's what I'm guessing E is taking now too.

    Hey ladies! I feel like it's been AGES since I caught up with you all properly!

    @MamaMoose: A said that the other day too! DH walked in from work, A stood up, threw her hands up in excitement and said "Hiya Daddy". Sounded exactly like it!

    A, DD, 11/06/12

    How many teeth? Six! Four on top that came through all together last week. And two on the bottom.

    What size clothes? You won't believe this but she still wears tops in 0-3 months! She does have some 3-6 month tops too though. She's very tall but has a very petite build so it's quite hard to find trousers long enough but slender enough for her waist.

    Cruising, Crawling, or Walking? Crawls like lightening and is cruising fabulously around the furniture.

    How many ounces of formula/ and or Breast Milk per day? No idea, honestly. She's EBF so I don't know how much she drinks but I do feel like my supply is going down. She's a boobaholic though, I'm dreading weaning.

    How many solid meals a day? Three.

    How many words? Mama (she said ma-meee the other day too, so cute!!!), Dad, hi, hiya, hello, byebye. It surprises me how much she understands. She for sure knows when I'm telling her not to do something - but does it anyway : ) She nods a lot too, like if I ask her if she's okay.

    Next Milestone that you are looking forward to: Ha, STTN! And walking.

    Any plans for TTC? Yeah, we're hoping to try ASAP but AF still isn't back. I have PCOS so thinking it could be a long road... going to start acupuncture again very soon.

    @travelgirl1: Oh my!!! What a petite little thing! How is she doing...she is 100% out of the harness, right? Everything going well?

  8. travelgirl1

    cantaloupe / 6630 posts

    @SLR: She is, thanks so much for asking She came out of the harness in April after 14 weeks and honestly, you would never know she'd ever had any hip problems. She's had two x-rays since then and they were both great. There is a one in four chance she'll need further treatment, but we have our fingers crossed and she'll be monitored every year until she's 18. We thought she would have trouble standing etc but she just blows me away, she's a little show-off and loves to stand up and clap herself, ha ha.

    Sorry I've been MIA. Really busy at work!
    11/26/12

    How many teeth? 2 on bottom 4 on top

    Size Clothes? 12-18 month

    Cruising, Crawling, or Walking? He is still inch worming on his belly, but is able to walk with the walker on his own. He is somewhat cruising.
    How many ounces of formula/ and or Breast Milk per day? 20-24 ounces a day.

    How many solid meals a day? 3 and a PM snack

    How many words? Dada and I think Uh-Oh

    Next Milestone that you are looking forward to: walking! He is getting frustrated that he isn't walking. And wants me to hold his hands and walk around with him.

    Any plans for TTC? We aren't trying but not preventing. We are older so we know we want another one within the next year or so. Not that I'm really ready mentally!

    LO will be 11 months tomorrow! i still can't believe that we're so close to a year. she picked up a couple new milestones in the last couple weeks. she's signing "more" now. shes FINALLY crawling on all 4s, not army crawling. i think part of the delay was her stomach was big and so it was hard to hold it up. sadly she got sick last week so her stomach shrunk but then she started crawling regularly so i feel like they might be related! ha, anyway, glad she's finally crawling. she's also walking with a walker so we're getting closer to real walking!

    we also got our photoshoot pictures back! in case any of you want to see i put them on my blog linked in my profile. hope everyone is doing well!

    Hi Mamas!

    I, too, have been off the radar for a bit. Sorry, guys! We sold both our house and our condo/rental property and are currently camping at my aunts apartment while our new house gets built. Crazy times! We're moving in one week before the babies' first birthday

    Cole and Norah, born, 11/30/12

    How many teeth?
    C has six, N is at 4 (but pushing two more through)
    What size clothes? C wavers between 12 and 18 months, depending on the brand. N is mostly in 12 month stuff, but I just noticed that she has outgrown her Carters play/sweat pants that are 12's.

    Cruising, Crawling, or Walking? Both are super crawlers. They walk with assistance (using push-type walkers or holding our fingers. Occasionally they try to stand by themselves, but it only lasts a second or so. They are both LOOOOONG babies (98th% but so/so on weight in the 45th and 51st%), so they are drunken sailors, I'm afraid)

    How many ounces of formula/ and or Breast Milk per day? 22-24 oz of formula over 4 bottles. Trying to cut it to three bottles starting this weekend and get to 2 (am and pm) by their first birthday. We're also switching to 50/50 whole milk/formula in the next couple of weeks.

    How many solid meals a day? 3

    How many words? Norah said "doggie" out of the blue on Sunday...otherwise, she says "kitty cat" and "dada." I'll occasionally hear a "mama" when she's REALLY upset or PO'ed, and I've gotten "duck" out of her a few times. Cole has "mama," "dada." He's said "kitty cat" a couple of times, but he isn't as verbal as his sister. They both have the sign language for "all done" and 'hello/bye bye."

    Next Milestone that you are looking forward to: Walking! I'm also hoping to expand their sign language vocabulary -- "more," "please," and "thank you" would be awesome

    Any plans for TTC? Haha. No way! Can't even comprehend the thought of another baby.

    @kml636: OMG! Congratulations! Early b'day present for LO

    Here it is 12 months post and I'm still battling a skin rash that developed shortly after giving birth. The docs at first thought a reaction to breast-feeding hormones but I stopped BFing at 7 months. I've done a few rounds of oral steriods and a couple of creams. It was at first only on my tummy, then it slowly migrated to my back. It now is on my elbows and knees, wrists and ankles! I'm going absolutely nuts!

    umm so apparently i joined the ranks of @kml636: and @mamachin! i got a bfp yesterday. i'm shocked it happened on the first cycle (last time it took 5 months!) and also scared that they'll be 20-21 months apart (apparently i can't do math and thought they'd be closer to 24 months apart..). but we are also happy that LO will get a little bro or sister close in age! ahhh
