Toddler Check-in (3/10)

[lilmizsunshine68]

Age: 15 months


Milestones: I can't think of one this week..other than just being more adorable everyday


Challenges: While she has taken steps and will stand up and get back down and squat and wiggle her booty back and forth, girl does NOT want to walk anywhere...


Funny/cute stories: She was a little ham at her photo session today...just a constant hi to everyone and playing patty cake and peekaboo lol


How are you? Okay...battling a nasty uti and stupid AF is just a crazy (insert whatever word you would like here) who showed up today out of the FREAKING blue so there's that


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? Nope

[puglife5869]

Age: 2 years! Ahhh!


Milestones: Her birthday was last week! She is also talking with legit sentences now. It's crazy!

Challenges: Oh the opinions.

Funny/cute stories: Every time she would open a gift at her part she would get really excited and oooh and ahhh before squealing with delight. It made everyone feel so good about their gifts! haha


How are you? I'm doing pretty well. M is finally back to sleeping all night and the baby only gets up once so I'm feeling human again!


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? No

[cgiles120812]

Age:8 days from being 22 months


Milestones: She has been talking a lot more and tells me when she pottys or poops.


Challenges: Tantrums, we are working through them. She doesn't have them all the time but it's hard when she does


Funny/cute stories: I took a video yesterday of her and told her to say cheese and she goes "CHEESSSEEE" and she had a little lisp when she said it lol. She also didn't like the shirt I put on her and she ran in her room and got a different blouse she wanted to wear.


How are you? I'm feeling good, finally getting over being sick.


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent?
I did not

[honeylemon]

Age: 19 months


Milestones: Nothing new this week.


Challenges: Biting and whining. Uuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh. She's not biting in a mean way. More like, running over to hug me and then bites my leg or my shoulder. I can't even count how many times I say, "Kisses not bites!!!!" in a single day. And the whining. It's non stop.


Funny/cute stories: Wednesdays are story/play time at our library and we go every week. As we were walking in today she yells, "library!" (well, her version of the word). It was adorable.


How are you? Still doing ok. The weather is getting warmer and nicer and I think it's improving my mood and motivation.


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? Nope. I grew up Baptist and now we go to a non denominational church and it's just not something we've ever done.

puglife5869 Happy 2nd Birthday to your LO!

Age: 20 months in 5 days...

Milestones: none this week, is just a running and jumping fool =P

Challenges: He's got a bit of a cough this week... we've done Zarbee's and a little Benadryl (to dry up his post-nasal drip which causes his nighttime cough) hopefully it starts to clear soon....

Funny/cute stories: He's got his overalls on today at daycare... it's the cutest thing ever...

How are you? not bad. trying to go FertilityFriend FREE this week and throughout the rest of the 2ww (so much so, in fact, I think I'm 5-6ish DPO, trying to somewhat lose track so I'm not symptom spotting and all that fun stuff...)

QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? Didn't give up anything, I added - I've been crocheting baby hats for NICUs (preemie and newborn size) I just need to get to a hospital do donate them... I'm up to 6 (had 7, gave one to a coworker who is due in 3 days...)

honeylemon, Madelyn started biting like that around that age. It seems to be related to teething. Each time a canine has started coming through she has done that even though teething has never been that bad. It seems like the canines have been particularly tough for her.

mrsbutton, Thank you! Good luck with avoiding FF. I was never good at that. I just obsessed the entire time like a crazy woman. I love that you are making hats! That is so sweet. One day I will get back into crocheting and that is a wonderful idea!

[LKat]

Age:
19 months (in a few days)




Milestones:
I keep waiting for this language "explosion" but no explosion just yet. She does know more than enough words to meet milestone requirements but still....where's the explosion?




Challenges:
Nothing at the moment! She's just a joy!




Funny/cute stories:
I still think everything she does is cute and funny but I'm drawing a blank at the moment!




How are you?
Tired! Good! Happy! 




QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? I didn't...I meant to Do something for Lent rather than give up something but I've failed so far there too. 

[honeylemon]

puglife5869 canines are the worst! My first had an awful time with them. Iris got all of hers about two months ago without too much difficulty but I am wondering if she's working on her two year molars now. Ugh. So ready for teething to be done.

Age: 20 months

Milestones: DH claims that at swim lessons last week he floated on his back (with support) and didn't have a major meltdown--that's as milestoney as things get this week, I think.

Challenges: Just the continued sleep trouble. He wakes up at least once before midnight without fail. When it's my turn, I stay with him and rock him half an hour or so, then lay him back down asleep and he'll sleep the rest of the night (usually). When it's DH's turn, he rocks DS for 5-10 minutes, tries to transfer him to the toddler bed (and fails), then brings DS up to our bed for the rest of the night, so none of us get any decent sleep. Hmm...I suppose this is actually a husband challenge, not a toddler challenge.

Funny story: I can never think of these when check-ins roll around! I'll have to come back to this.

How are you? Getting better every day. Thank goodness for spring! I'm ready to dust off the cobwebs and feel the fresh air. This is my second non-Arizona winter in ten years, and it hit me worse than it did last year, I think.

ETA: Forgot the QOTW--we don't practice a religion that observes Lent anymore, so I didn't give anything up.

Hey ladies! Sorry I'm late to the game!

Age:14.5 months


Milestones: Zaiden is a full on walker as of March 1st! He's almost running! Man do I miss when he could only lay there.. I'm exhausted! Lol


Challenges: still the co sleeping thing... really need to work on that especially since we are ttc again.


Funny/cute stories:
Zaiden is obsessed with talking on his play phone. Only thing is he doesn't hold it up to his ear. He puts it between his shoulder blades lol

How are you? I'm doing good. Started the T25 workout. It's intense, but I'm feeling good


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent? Nope

[bethelgal42]

Age: 17 Months


Milestones: She took a 2 hour nap by herself.  She hasn't done this in many months.  Usually, she only naps on my lap.

She is learning her body parts and her sign language skills are just exploding.  She now knows and uses please, thank you, more, bird, elephant, cat, and all done.  She is learning new speaking words too.


Challenges: Sleeping through the night is still a challenge.  She still sleeps the best and the longest in bed with us.  We really need to work on getting her to sleep in her crib all night before the new baby comes.  We just got over a tummy bug.  She had diarrhea for 6 days. I'm so glad that is done.


Funny/cute stories: Apparently, we are living in a world where everything can be a phone.  She was walking around the house this week with a clean diaper up to her face "talking" on the phone. 

Last weekend, DH took Anne to her first Daddy/Daughter dance at our church.  We bought her a special princess dress just for the occasion.  The pictures are adorable.


How are you? I'm feeling pretty good this week.


QOTW: Did you give up anything for Lent?
I didn't give anything up this year.

@boxerific,- She was so pretty. I will post pictures soon.
