Thursday? Bueller?

[littleredfish]

Really, no thread yet? Or am I blind? I checked 3 times.

We're just hanging out at home today. Honey Garlic chicken going in the crockpot, we've already been to the park. Want to make cookies later, my sweet tooth is screaming at me today so I might make a double batch so I can eat a batch and DH will be none the wiser. Sounds like a solid plan.

They have baby friendly movies on weekday afternoons. It's a rainy day, so I'm thinking of taking the kids to see Finding Dory. I'm hoping DD can sit through it and that DD naps.

How are solids going for everyone? I was trying some finger foods and he loves feeding himself but he gagged a couple times.

Gagging is part of learning. He'll do it a couple of times to realize how far back he can go, how many pieces he can handle, etc. Both of my girls gagged a LOT at first but it took about 2 weeks then it was hardly ever. Sometimes once here and there on a new food but then they'd figure it out and gagging would stop.

This morning DD was eating and DH came to say goodbye to us and squeezed my other boob. I could have slapped him. Don't mess with rock hard boobs!!

DD fell back asleep after feeding, so I didn't get much time with her before work. but sleep is good.

I guess she was sitting up in her crib when DH got her this morning, and yesterday she pulled herself up on the walker I got her several times, so it's officially time to drop the mattress down. I can't believe it already!

ldubhawksfan, yeah we've really been procrastinating on dropping the mattress. It's on the agenda for Monday.

Today is my Friday so I've been running around trying to get a bunch of stuff done. Only two things on my list left.

Teething can suck it. She did well until about 2:30 and after an hour of trying to get her back down in her crib I caved and co-slept. At least we all got a little more sleep.

ldubhawksfan ours has been dropped for a couple months with how tall she is. We knew it was only a matter of time!

It's a home day. Grabbing laundry once E goes down for her second nap to start on that. I brushed the dog this morning. Decided to take all next week off so yay!

Been so busy at work with it being end of the month, before a holiday weekend and end of the quarter. I hate everyone. I can't believe this is the first time I've gotten to check TCF all week!

DH and I are going to try out a new tapas place tonight for my birthday. I can't wait for sangria and tapas!

JC! I just watched DD sit up and pull herself up to standing in her crib from the video monitor on my phone. Luckily MIL came in right at that time, but it gave me a heart attack!! Why does she learn so quickly?!!!!

It makes me so nervous though. And he threw up a little from it today.

My doctor reassured me that vomiting can happen, just like adults it depends on the strength of their gag reflex. But that unless she was silently choking not to interfere and that it will pass faster the more learning opportunities you give them. Like noises from coughing or gagging is OK because their body will likely fix itself. It is scary though for sure.

Ya she said as long as there is "noise" there is still air passing through and they can likely correct themselves and it's good for them to learn those limitations. Obviously if it persists and they are struggling or there is no noise just silent flailing then assisting is required but (thankfully) that's never happened to me with food.
