1. Age?
4.5 months


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week?
She has been so chatty and roly-poly adorable lately. She loves grabbing stuff with her chubby little hands and I die every time I look at her. She is my favorite.


3. Challenges?
Sleep has been kinda meh since her cold this weekend and shots the week before. And she is having eczema issues and I think she is wiggling a lot in her sleep to itch it. Her crib squeaks when she wiggles so it has made sleeping for all a bit of a challenge.

Trying out our highchair for the first time.

I was just about to start this thread. I need happiness today.

1. Age? 3.5 months


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He babbles so much. Especially if his big brother is playing with him. Ds1 absolutely loves him, but is still a little too young to understand not to pull his face or poke his eyes lol.
I always know B is up for the day because instead of waking up screaming, he wakes up chatting in his crib. When I go get him he squeals and smiles so big. Love it!



3. Challenges? There are many. I try not to be a downer most of the time, and I try to make it a point to stay positive.
Our biggest challenge is sleep. I'm at an absolute loss and H is pressuring me to talk to the pediatrician about it. WTF is the doctor going to say? Unfortunately this is considered "normal" 3 month behavior.

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week?
He loves playing with his toys! His favourite is sitting in his bouncy chair and playing because he can look out. He loves watching what big brother is doing! Also, with the help of DST, we successfully moved bedtime up to 7pm-ish.

3. Challenges?
Naps are still a challenge. Funny enough, it's easier to get him to nap on the days that DS1 is home with us. Might be because we stick to more of a routine on those days.

Watching DS1 and I rake leaves!

1. Age: 3 months

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week: H's mom bought him an activity center and he really seems to enjoy it. Yay for another distraction or him!

3. Challenges: getting both kids to bed without one of them screaming.

1. Age? 15 weeks


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? We have belly laughs and happy squeals now and it makes my heart explode with happiness when I hear them.

3. Challenges? He was really really overtired yesterday by the time we got home. Sleeping at daycare continues to be hard for him.

4. Please to be sharing a picture, if you would like
Him passed out at DC with his thumb in his mouth.

1. Age? 17 weeks...4 months Friday!


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week?

He has been caressing my face when he nursed and smiling and it just melts my heart. I love him so much! He's grabbing toys like a champ, playing with toys and even doing ok with tummy time!



3. Challenges? 4 month sleep regression.

My chubby 20 lb boy!

I am in shock. Let's try to take a minute to focus on something beautiful: our babies.

1. Age? 16 and a half weeks


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Intentional rolling!



3. Challenges? My happy baby has started teething. The misery sucks.

1. Age? 3.5 months

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Rolling from back to belly like a champ now and eating her fingers and squealing about it.

3. Challenges? Bottle and sleep. She did a half day on Monday at daycare and took one ounce by bottle and another by syringe (because she refused her second bottle of the day). I start work on Monday. 😪

On Tapatalk so sorry if it's big!

[acorn99]

OMG tikoberry99, that BELLY!!!

[katelou]

1. Age? A few days shy of 4 months


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She is such a smiley, happy baby most of the time. Things overall are getting easier, DD1 has been happier and better behaved, I'm getting more rest, and on the whole we're having more enjoyable moments than survival mode moments.



3. Challenges? Still wakes up if she's not held during naps. So frustrating.


4. Please to be sharing a picture, if you would like.


her nickname is Cheeks. Bet you can guess why.

[melody330]

OMG katelou! I love her face.

[comicSans]

1. Age? 4 months next Mon


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He sometimes naps not on me (not right now though, currently napping on me). He wants to move so badly and has scooted himself backwards a couple times, and sometimes pivots a bit during tummy time. He held a tripod sit today.


3. Challenges? He's still happiest being held and walked around to see all the things. If I set him down there's a 75% chance he will just close his eyes and scream, then a 50% chance that he will realize he's ok and stop screaming.

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week?
He had been trying for a couple weeks and finally yesterday rolled over from back to belly! He's got the biggest, best smile that always makes everything better, and he's starting to do more of a belly laugh instead of just giggling which is awesome. Also, a year ago today we found out we were expecting. I can't believe how quickly that went by, and this cute little guy we have now!

3. Challenges?
For the past couple weeks he's been waking up again a couple times a night (he had been sleeping through the night or up only once for a few weeks prior), he's still pretty fussy especially at night, and usually once a day he goes into complete meltdown mode where he screams and nothing (not even nursing) will stop him. I'm hoping it's just a combo of a leap/growth spurt/4 month regression, and that he'll be a happier baby in a few more weeks. Oh yeah, and he's back to refusing bottles completely, so that's been fun.

Here, have two photos. The more cuteness the better today!

1. Age? 4 months next tuesday.


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He is such a smiley, happy baby most of the time. Except if he is super tired, but loves to suck his thumb then.



3. Challenges? Still wakes easily if not swaddled so hopefully soon we can transition away from that as he just started consistently rolling from belly to back yesterday. I have not seen anything close to back to belly yet.


4. Please to be sharing a picture, if you would like.

Its over a week old, but a super big smile...

[glaze]

1. Age? 4.5ish months

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Is napping in her crib for longer stretches again. Has 2 bottom teeth poking through. She's been laughing when we pick up DS from school and he's in the back of the van talking. I think she misses him, it's so cute.

3. Challenges? Keeping her safe from DD1 is one of our biggest challenges. Also she always wants to be held otherwise she's complaining so that's been fun.

4. Please to be sharing a picture, if you would like. POOF

[rungirlrun]

1. Age? 3 months


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He gives the best belly laughs. He was in the bath with his brother and was laughing and laughing. Made me melt.


3. Challenges? Sleep. He's not terrible in general, but we are so far away from him sleeping through the night. Not really having slept in 3+ months is taking a toll on me. And I'm still very much struggling in so many ways with life with 2 kids.

His big brother has a serious unibrow. He will be plucking it by kindergarten! So I'm happy Eli fared better (so far).

1. Age? Almost 16 weeks.


2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Still sleeping pretty well at night, rolling both ways consistently, tried at his exersaucer for the first time, and still my little snuggle bug ❤️



3. Challenges? Dealing with supply issues since returning to work (we've supplemented with formula when necessary), solo parenting because of H's work schedule & keeping my anxiety in check.

A is 4.5 months! He's a chatterbox (he's bilingual in both Pterodactyl & Dothraki) and loves to play with his kicking piano and exersaucer, chewing on his mini Sophie, and playing peek a boo with his bib. He's rolling everywhere and spinning in circles. He tried to roll over on the changing table (over a rail and into the crib) and was almost successful but mom thwarted him. Everything goes in the mouth. I think in a month or so, we will try oatmeal.

Spoiled pic bc HUGE on desktop, I'm sure
