DH finished moving thr gravel. We are slowly trying to even out and fix the drainage in our backyard. He's doing it primarily by hand so I'm proud of him. snoris you guys building your fence reminded me of it
π Moving dirt is hard work! When we dug our post holes, I mean, when MH dug our post holes (π) we totally took advantage of the extra dirt to reinforce the grading in our yard. Those projects kind of suck though. Lots of work for good reason, but not much to show for it. Boo.

For sure. We (I mean DH) has been slowly working on it since we moved in. The front and side yard is done but the back, which was the worst) is in progress.
The original owner had intended to to the grading as a "fun project" when they had the house built. But unfortunately he got sick and wasn't able to do it.
So DS has mastered back to belly rolling. Unfortunately as we all know being on your belly is horrible. He CAN roll belly to back but not as consistently and the more upset he gets the less likely he is to roll. So his floor time playing is interspersed with "life's not fair" screams lol
Has anyone else tried blowing on their baby's face? Like you would blow to cool down your coffee. I read somewhere that it makes 4m old babies laugh. So we tried it. Baby I doesn't laugh but he sniffs (?) it then let's out a euphoric sigh like its the best smell ever... Weird? Try it. Then tell me if my kid is weird.
I just tried it and he kind of half smiled and looked at me lol

Lol!!! We do this alllll the time!! He blinks then smiles.
We've had these poops for a few days. Not sure about foremilk. Looked the same consistency as normal to me. But I DID pump more Wednesday and Thursday before this huge drop off.

I went and got my hair. It and styled this afternoon and feeling pretty today. DD said we needed to fix my hair because it was in my face (I got bangs). Thanks kid.
DH and I are headed out on our first date since before baby was born. We are going up home to my high school reunion but I think we might ditch it after an hour or so and go see the friends I really want to see.
Our race went well today! I did so much more than I expected I could and Ryker did good at the babysitters but he refused to drink from the bottle againπ he only drank 4oz all day

Checking in! Haven't had a chance to read. It's been sooooo busy! We had a date night last night and I have been at my parents today. House hunting tomorrow. Very little down time!
I hope all is well and I will try to catch up during feedings tonight.

Ridley is starting to get really picky with her naps. She'll only fall asleep while nursing if we're in bed and if we're not she has to have zero simulation in order to fall asleep. Which means weekend and days when daddy's home are miserable. π₯
H is doing toddler bedtime - I felt like a free woman with so many options of what to do tonight lol so I am on the couch and just rented Me Before You. I hope it's good. I'll probably fall asleep and have to finish it up tomorrow

I either put his lovey or a muslin burp cloth over his face while I'm trying to get him to sleep if he's fussy. He closes his eyes as soon as it touches his face. This sounds awful reading it back. Lol I only do it while I'm rocking him. And once he's out if I plan on snuggling I move it so I can see his face or I put him down in his crib without it.

Curiosity.. DS has been pooping essentially green water bsince Thursday (we think.. Possibly Wednesday) aside from the diarrhea and having a cold, he's a-okay. Thoughts?
I usually only worry if there is a fever or if the baby seems unusually fussy for long periods of time. Otherwise I try to wait it out, especially if it's the weekend. We are dealing with the same symptoms this weekend but I think it's due to vaccinations. He did have a cold last week.
πππ we had a blast watching our little foster cousin tonight, but talk about all the Mommy hormonal feels for this kid! It was intense! I didn't know I'd feel so strongly. He was born addicted to drugs and abandoned by his parents then tossed around the foster system then joined our family all before his first birthday?! My heart is broken he is so helpless, that we can't choose our families. It makes me so grateful baby I is in a loving and safe home. Praying so hard our cousins can adopt him!! ππΌππΌππΌ
P.S. My weird Mommy hormones also told me to nurse him! Obviously I didn't, but that thought took me by surprise for sure!
westiemom What are you looking for in a house/neighborhood? I'll keep an eye out. Also, if you have any interest in HISD in 5 years, I've researched schools and neighborhoods near the loop to death, haha.

Taking care of babies in drug withdrawal is SO HARD. I fall in love with them every time. I just want to find them a loving home. I hope your cousins can adopt this LO!

Is anyone doing the multilingual thing with their babies (babycaps or westiemom)?? I dabble only in German & Spanish, but what a gift (I imagine) to be raised multilingual! I'm wondering what language would be best to start with! Down the line I would be willing to work with a tutor for the family, but I would want to start exposing baby I to the language now. The only thing I've said is "you're drinking milk" in German. And maybe a German song or two haha. I'm very good with IPA (not the tasty kind) & Latin, but not even close to fluent in anything. Thoughts?
