It's FRIDAY

[pixie523]

RANDOM TIME

[pixie523]

That's a lewd gif, but it made me laugh until I snorted. How's everyones weekend looking? Big father's day plans? We're going to go to Home Depot and eat BBQ. That feels pretty manly to me.

DD fell asleep mid crawling attempt this morning.

We are going to spend the day at home. DHs family is coming over for dinner on Sunday. This saved us from doing something we didn't want to do. DH declined the fishing invitation from his dad and brother after. On Mother's Day we had to go to an arcade because MIL wanted to play skeeball.

[pixie523]

Gah! So cute MsNicole06, exercise is exhausting.

[jjh1119]

I'm working tomorrow. Josh's stepmom is sick, she was supposed to come today so I can get work done. So gotta do that another day now.

BBQ Saturday and then breakfast, a recital and another BBQ on Sunday.

Strange random: I was looking back at photos of Liam and he used to LOVE his Wubanub paci. Now he just sucks his thumb before he falls asleep. Sometimes I wonder if I should bring it back out and see if he would take to it. Would that be a dumb idea??

Also, happy 7 months 11/19ers. I cannot believe how freaking fast time flies. Going to do pics today. He went down for his nap at 9:15 and he's still sleeping.

And he just woke up

[zengal]

Yeeeaahh Friday! We made plans to work in the yard, go out for breakfast and dinner as a family, and I think we might get to have a date with the ILs babysitting. I'm actually nervous about that. I feel like it would need to be an early outing to avoid any potential bedtime snafus. And I have a wedding shower to attend.
Happy 7months!! I can hardly believe the time! Tried to get pictures this morning but it was not successful.
jjh1119 the wubbanub is no longer a favorite around here either! But she has other binkies she likes. If LO is happy with his thumb, then the soothing element is taken care of. From what I have gathered, the advantage of a binky is you have a little more control over the weaning process. It's pretty cute to see the wubbanub in their mouths too, so there's that-

[jjh1119]

Dude, mega picture fails today. Lol I will try again later with H.

zengal yes he sucks his thumb only when he is tired, trying to sleep. There are other times when I feel like a paci or his thumb would help him soothe a little more. But also, he sucked his thumb a ton yesterday so maybe he is expanding his thumb usage.

[zengal]

I never planned on using a binky, but it sure is like a mute button sometimes.

I try not to binky during the day so she can express herself, but then she high pitch squealssss and MUTE. 

[MsNicole06]

So we're grocery shopping and are at store 2. I prefer the deli counter at one but like everything else at the other. First world problems. DD fell asleep but so DH ran in for the lunch meat. He just set a text because the guy in front of him is rude and he might end up on the news because it's getting harder to resist saying something.

[jjh1119]

Yeah so I want to occasionally perhaps try this mute button of a paci but I doubt he will take it. The wubanub was the only thing he took.

Look though! It's too cute 


*POOF*
(Cute kid with a wubanub here)

[pixie523]

jjh1119, Holy shit. Yes it is 7 months today! Happy days jjh1119 and zengal!

SO CUTE. Man. I'm not going to pick a favorite N14 baby, but Liam is def in my top 10. (there's only like 10 of us right?)

[jjh1119]

Haha pixie523 yeah I think 10 is just about where we are. Thanks for not quoting the actually pic ;-)

Perhaps a little rule to follow for all of us?


Lmao he just discovered if he sits on the wood floor he can kick his feet and he scoots backwards. THESE KIDS ARE GETTING FUN!

He didn't whine today! Things are good!!

[zengal]

He's giving you a little half-plus-one-month birthday present jjh1119! The wubbanubs are the cutest thing, I agree! I so bad want to post a pic but MH and I have an agreement:( I think our n14 babies are top ten in the UNIVERSE!

[jjh1119]

Totally understand the online thing zengal. I pay attention to how many people view our page and there are barely any lurkers and I delete after. I know there's a potential someone could screen shot the pic or something but I think our specific board isn't overly busy. If I were on parenting or something I don't think I would post pics.

Though I'm dying to see what little zengal looks like lol.

Seriously though, our HDBD threads- we really do have the super cutest babes ever

[pixie523]

zengal, It's hard isn't it? All these cute babies made me break my own rules. I have started going back and deleting, but I know things never really die. I WON"T LIE I WANT TO SEE YOUR BABBBBBYYYYYY.

We had a similar situation at the deli a few years ago. I had to walk away before I punched the guy. He kept telling the woman behind the counter that he wanted the ham thinner and thinner. She had it so thin that you could practically see through it and he still wanted it thinner.

[l8rg8r]

I'm exhausted. My lo usually wakes around two to eat and then goes out. Some nights I fall back asleep before he's finished eating and then other nights, (like last night) I can't fall asleep. I ended up doing laundry because that's what you do when you can't sleep, right?

[wildflower810]

Hey y'all! H gets tomorrow off and we're doing down to a town festival with another couple. It should be fun.

So... a sort of a FFFC... we have new neighbors moving in across the hall. I learned from our property manager that it was going to be a mom and her teenage son. Great, I though, that's just what I want. I had visions of saggy trousers, obnoxious friends, etc, etc. They pulled up today with a trailer while I was getting home from grocery shopping, so I went over and said hi. Turns out the "teenager" is probably like 13, and get this...

He walked up to me, extended his hand for a firm handshake, and looked me in the eye while introducing himself. He was then pitching right in and doing heavy lifting up the stairs.

Yeah. I got to put away my judgy attitude in a hurry. They seem like they will be nice neighbors.

[gldnbearz]

Happy 7 months to the 11/19ers. I can't believe it's that time of the month again. LO was edd early November but surprised us early so she's almost 8 months. A bit behind some of you guys on the sitting up and mesh feeding.

[MsNicole06]

l8rg8r I've done laundry and cleaned bathrooms because I can't sleep.

wildflower810 glad the new neighbors are looking like they won't be so bad.

[pixie523]

gldnbearz, I lurk in October here and there and some babies over there who still don't like to roll. My kid ate a lamp cord today so (MOTY, I know) I'd be okay with less motion over here. She got there without even crawling, just a butt scoot.

[jjh1119]

gldnbearz every baby develops at different rate. Also- I wish he was less mobile too. Enjoy it! I think she likes to have you guys wrapped around her little finger ;-). "Hold this mama so I may eat. Thank you" she knows what she's doing :-)

[kfaye]

I would love it if lo suck her thumb more, at night I'm constantly putting her paci back in at night (I know I shouldn't but....sleep) and I feel like it would be so much easier if she could just pop her thumb in there!

Sunday we have two bbq's to attend, one at my bil's and one at my brothers house. We will see how lo does being out and about for such a long time. I think I'll bring the pnp so she can have somewhat normal naps

[nerdalert]

MsNicole06 and l8rg8r, people can be so particular at the grocery store! I was a cashier at one in college. I could not believe the pickiness (and stupidity) of some people. My favorite story to tell is of a woman who was confused when I told her the pop sale was only for Coke products, and she was buying Pepsi. She looked at me and asked, "But, Pepsi is a Coke product, right?" I had to try so hard not to facepalm right there in front of her.

[kfaye]

No real movement here yet, she does roll across the floor and seems to really want to do something when she on her belly. I'm sure it's a whole new ball game when crawling starts!

I cannot believe we are at 7 months already! Time is flying by. I was looking back at our monthly pics and we definitely missed month 5...really messes my idea of putting them all together up!

[sadie74]

Re movement: LO has been sitting up for a while now but hardly rolls over. I've seen her do it but I just don't think she has any interest in it. She's never rolled multiple times in a row. When she's on her tummy she's definitely making little motions that will lead to crawling. I was really worried about it for a while, but she's going at her own pace.
LO never liked a pacifier and I thought she would be a thumb sucker for sure because she was all about her fingers when she was born, but she doesn't like either now.
We don't really have any Father's Day plans. DH gets off work around 3am and goes on at 3pm so it's hard to do anything. I'll probably make him strawberry shortcake and we still need to get a grill.
I'm so happy it's Friday!! In really hoping my 2 hour drive to the bridal shower goes well tomorrow. Just me and the baby. Eek.

[jjh1119]

kfaye, not all is lost! Just combine birth, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months! problem solved

nerdalert, haha sooo many people think "coke" is the generic term for all "colas"

sadie74, good luck with the drive! hopefully she sleeps through most of it.

[kfaye]

jjh1119 brilliant! Great idea
sadie74 I wouldn't worry about the movement, my lo isn't sitting up on her own yet but is rolling....they are all so different!
