I forgot to tell you guys that we had an awesome 9-month check up with DS yesterday. It's kind of a brag, but pedi said we are doing an awesome job. No sick visits, great weight gain, toppling milestones, and doing what we are supposed to (like giving vitamin D). I felt really validated, which doesn't always happen. I wanted to share because I know some of your pedis are doomsayers, and it was nice to feel like I'm officially a good mom.
Also, we are inspired by you lads and we're going to do a date night (at home) and order stuffed crust pizza and pick up growlers from a couple of the local breweries we never find time to try. I'm excited!
And I did my run (2.5 miles) so I can eat all the pizza.

That's awesome from the pedi. We often focus on our worries so it is nice that your pedi pointed out everything you are doing right. Pizza and beer sounds like an awesome date night in.

kellrr that's awesome. I'm pretty amazed you have never had a sick visit to the pedi! Also, I'm glad you're having a date night. I hope you and H have a fun time!!

staryb I can't wait to hear about how excited your H was.

He's pretty excited. We have him a Thomas the train water bottle full of jack and coke lol

[swise22]

We hit a milestone today! I rocked DS at night like I always do but I didn't let him fall asleep. He was very tired but still looking at me. I put him in his crib and he instantly rolled over and went to sleep. That never happens!

That... is pretty damn awesome!

[sweetsurprise]

DS is teething. Like I can see the top teeth riiiight under his gums. Lots of screeching here.

[MrsTinMKE]

Date night ended early... no reason, I think we are both exhausted from today. We have decided to shelf the idea of selling our house as well after the realtor stopped by. We just have too many things to finish in a short time.

So now I am drinking wine and shopping on etsy for 1st birthday party supplies. This could be dangerous. I wanted something super small and simple, but now I want to go all out. There will be no stopping me.

[staryb]

kellrr, that's all awesome! We haven't had any sick visits yet either (knock on wood) but our visits haven't all been great. So glad that your DS is doing so well and have fun on your date night, you deserve it!

[staryb]

MrsTinMKE, I'm sorry your date night was cut short but bring that wine over to the drinking thread. It's too quiet over there!

I just made these

Those look delicious and I want them! But, and don't take this the wrong way, they kind of remind me of the spiders on my kid's nursery rhyme toy lol

Eta: the blueberries look like their eyes!

So somehow I only put half of the sugar called for in the recipe into the actual muffins. I is smart. They are still good. But, sugar.

MrsTinMKE omg I can't believe that!! I hope your family drama subsides. Have fun on date night!
jeniece47 hugs. Glad the tube is out. So sorry your mom is having a tough time.
jellykat2 glad DD is doing better! Any luck with putting her down in the crib? Omg those muffins!!!!!
staryb so excited for you and your party for h! Looks awesome.
kellrr how cute that DS is using a straw! Do you use it with pumped milk?

Thanks! We reverted a little with getting her down in the crib in a timely and effective manner with her being sick. It seems to be getting better? Maybe? Although last night it took THREE HOURS before she finally fell asleep on her own.

[jellykat2]

kellrr - that's awesome you had such a great pedi visit! Enjoy your date night at home celebrating!!

Sorry date night ended early. And that you've decided not to put the house on the market. But, when you decide you are ready you'll already be a couple steps ahead hopefully.

Cheers to wine night. And if you get anything cute in etsy we must see pictures!!

So poor dd can't catch a break. She has a blister on the roof of her mouth - which I'm assuming is left over from the HFM. She is refusing to nurse, but clearly wants too. It's the saddest thing ever. She eventually took some milk from a sippy cup. I hope it heals soon. I can't handle her crying so often anymore

I am so sorry I can't imagine how hard that is! I hope she is feeling better soon!!

Thanks. I thought she was back to herself 100%. And for the most part she is. But seeing her struggle and not be able to nurse was horrible. Thankfully she got something in her and is sleeping. I'm drowning my sorrows in wine.

Poor thing. hopefully she gets some good sleep! Just a minor set back maybe?

supplycloset do you have any steakhouse recommendations for KC? DH wants to go get a great steak for his birthday. Usually we buy ribeyes from a butcher and cook our own.

I would suggest The Majestic. It's downtown. It's old school- a staple in KC. They have great cocktails and live jazz.
The Hereford House is really good. The Zona Rosa location is probably the closest to you.
Plaza III on the Plaza is yummy too.
Hereford house would probably be most baby friendly. And Zona rosa is a huge outdoor shopping area so could spend some time there before dinner. Plaza III is kinda stuffy-prob not very many babies. Wish we knew each other IRL so I could watch DD and you and DH could have a great night out alone!
