rnchloe, I hope you figure out a way to get some food into that baby! I hated the munchkin cup and DS1 never figured it out. I just got an Avent one that is similar but works much better.
lilylove31, I definitely told MIL that DS1 wasn't a performance monkey or show horse a couple of times she wanted to take him to work to show him off. I hope your H doesn't take too long to realize he's being an idiot.
Enjoy charliefox, if only you were in northern england we could do an S15 Euro meet up!
I'm trying my hand at selling things on a facebook yard sale. I'm such a noob. I'm starting with the glider I bought that I sadly hardly used with my son, and don't use at all with my daughter. A few people commented and liked it. Once person says interested, so I don't know if I am supposed to message everyone who liked it or just the interested person.
I really want to sell our swing, but I can't get myself to do it. DD hardly used it, but DS lived in that thing. I don't know why I can't just get over the baby stuff. With everything else I just throw it away or donate no problem. But I've (ridiculously) saved every piece of baby anything, right down to every newborn sock.

I'd give you mine if we lived close! A cannot figure it out haha
I don't have a lot of faith Emily will either! Since she doesn't get the bottle, sippy or straw sippy
Fwiw F doesn't get sippys and still isn't the best bottle water but the munchkin 360 makes him giggle and he loves it. I only let him have it a little though because I only put water with some juice in it.
mowkey, my first thought, too! Or @gothefawktosleep found some fantastic wine!
txshep, the Waving Plant has a few pounds on A, so I'm surprised they don't get after us about A's weight. They still sometimes comment about how much smaller her bottles are compared to the other babies, but that's because she was EBF until this month, and most of the others are FF. A's intake has ticked up a little, but I think her solids are counteracting milk ounces, so it's not as noticeable. "Abnormal" was dropped again the other day. Pedi isn't concerned. DC told us she was behind on the sippy cup (because we were ignorant of timing here), but she's caught up now. Only holds her bottle off and on, but she'll gladly control a cup (not always well, spout at her chin). She's just starting to clap her hands along with me (within the past 48 hours). So, yeah, babies choose their own paths. We just facilitate where we can. DC should know this, but I think since they have a cluster of babies all within a couple weeks of one another, they've gotten a little myopic about it.
We joke sometimes A is a genius, and other times not-so-much. She JUST learned to duck her head when crawling under things. She used to just ram her ahead against the furniture and then get mad.
cowplanet DH and I never clap with our babies. Guess they'll have to learn that elsewhere. There are also other apparent milestones that they just haven't seen regularly, so of course they won't get it. I've mostly been ignoring the milestone things unless one of them isn't making progress at all for a long time (in baby time).

My kid crawls (i.e. Pulls himself around on his belly remarkably fast), sits up from lying, rolls, claps, makes consonant sounds (da, la, ma, ra), and is starting to pull up.
But give him a bottle and he won't hold it. Sippy cups are good for banging only. Straw cups are chew toys. Solid food is poison.
It's so interesting to see how kids develop differently.

Completely off subject but I have to say this. I've been binging on "how to get away with murder" I watched the season 1 finale during naptime this morning, completely unaware it was the season finale.
It's now naptime again. I plop myself in front of the tv, dying to know what happens next. Season one is over. Season 2 is not on netflix. Fuck.

Sorry rnchloe for the nursing strike. I hope the doctor has some ideas or answers.
lilylove31 fuck that shit right in the ear. Hard no to MIL moving in. He should get her Life Alert or something instead. I'm also not a fan of having my child paraded around for someone else's benefit - O is not a doll.

I have it all on my DVR un watched. If you want to swing by this weekend or something; )
Why can't H ever side with me and stand up to MIL? I only get to see O 3.5 days every week because of my work schedule. It really sucks and gets harder every week instead of easier, I feel like I miss so much. The last thing I want to do is spend one of my few precious days I have with him hanging out with MIL. Especially just so she can prance around the catholic festival showing him off like a new handbag. She asked us to bring him to her at the festival tomorrow so she can show him off to all her friends. How about I bring her a picture of him to show off instead? A robbery that ended in a fatal shooting happened just around the corner from MIL's house yesterday so H declares we are moving her in with us. Fuck no! I will move out and take O with me before I would ever live under the same roof as that woman. H informed me all of the above by text this morning. Looks like H and I are having a not so fun conversation when I get home from work tonight.
@emjay I hope A feels better soon! Hugs and hair pats to everyone in teething and sleep regression hell.

My potted plant started army crawling yesterday. She has only figured out how to use one leg to push herself forward though, so it's kind of hilarious.
ugotstarbucked, Love it! "I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do--oooh, carpet!" My LO is also very fascinated with carpet. A also had a dominant push leg at first, so straight lines just weren't gonna happen. Now she's evened out. I miss the going backwards in a circle phase, because even though it pissed her off, you knew where she was going to be and could walk away for a few minutes. Now she follows me, whining the whole time, because I'm not allowed to leave the room. Half the time she ignores me and plays, but by God, I better park my ass right there beside her.
lilylove31 hells to the no. I get he feels like he should protect her, but like someone else said get life alert or something like that. He cannot say that without considering taking to you first. And all the nope to the praying O around.
We are moving desks this next week. I found out who I'll be next to and I may kill her. She is one of two coworker's that I can't stand. She constantly berates her family on the phone and does the same to customers. She's also a Trump supporter.

I just put up a bunch of baby stuff for sale on a Facebook group too!! You PM the people who say interested- they get 24 hours to decide and then you move on to the next interested party. Most say "next!".
I sold swing, bumbo seat, sit me up, bath tub, car seat & bases, and all of my Medela bottles, breast milk storage stuff and pump parts! I was shocked at how fast the stuff gets commented on!
tapthathank, mowkey - I'm getting frustrated with my FB b/s/t groups. People will frickin' like my posting or say "good deal!" and nothing else. If I followup with them, they just say, "oh I'm not interested, I just thought it was good deal." WTF? Or they ghost me when it comes down to setting up pickup times. I've had two successful sales. The first was amazing, the second was fine, except we had to go to a grocery store to get cash back, because she tried to pay with a check.
mrsb1008, RUN AWAY! My boss and insufferable coworker are both supporters and talk about it all the freakin' time (and the boss listens to Rush at work w/o headphones); politics are prohibited here, but we're too small of a department for me to report without repercussions. If you try to logically give them factual information regarding their new God, you're just part of the vast left wing conspiracy. These are librarians, too. My brain hurts. "Information literate" is relative, I guess.
I feel like all I do is come here and complain. And I don't have anything good to say right now. I'm beyond spent. That's all.
I'm alive and breathing, my family is alive and breathing. It's a good day.
I need this as much as you do. Two comments that just happened: 1) 'Wow - I'm actually learning something from this review. Did we do this this semester?' And 2) 'Why do we have to do a written review. I only bring a pencil on A days. My B day classes don't need a pencil.'
Save me. And MH has state track all weekend so I'm alone on baby duty. Fuck, I need some tequila.
