I just put away all of our bottles and my pump. This thing has been with me to weddings, a funeral, a bachelorette party, a beach vacation, a concert, my car, and of course work. IM FREEEEEEE! Weeee!

G woke up early this morning so I ended up nursing her, hanging out with her, and going in to work a bit later than usual. I wish I could work shorter days that would allow me to have breakfast with her and still time after work to cook dinner and play with her more. Love her so much.
She just got her 2nd tooth and hasn't been acting any different than usual. I hope she handles all of her teeth like this!
Also, she "knows" what a nose is. Apparently my mom has been teaching her body parts and told me about it yesterday. I asked Gianna where her nose was and she pointed to it! She'll also point to our noses. I know it seems silly to get excited about something so trivial, but I can't get over how adorable it is.
mrsmonogrammed That's awesome! Way to go for making it to a year and enjoy the freedom! I'm thinking about ditching my pump soon too and just nursing when I'm with her. I definitely have enough in the freezer to get her past her birthday. It doesn't seem like she's going to let go of nursing for a while though. Little girl is a boob monster, grabs for them as soon as I get home!

Not silly at all! This is the best part of parenting! Watching them learn and do things that surprise you never gets old. Great story!
LO picked up my phone this weekend and held it to his ear and said "hi!" I was shocked! It's just absolutely astounding what they can pick up and how fast they can learn.

mrsmonogrammed I just packed up all my pump gear too. While it was amazingly satisfying, I was also just a teensy bit sad that it was another reminder of my baby not being a baby anymore. And I better use that stuff again one day, because I spent ALOT on accessories!
@babybean9, many hugs. Depression doesn't go away, it's just in remission sometimes.
Today has been crazy. It's 7.30 and mg first chance to post in Randoms... and I'm heading off again as we're hosting Bible study in 20 minutes! L has enjoyed her last day of babyhood, apart from the teething pain.
Does anybody wear the camisoles from costco that come in the two pack? I think they have stopped carrying them at my costco and I am so sad. My dryer has eaten 3 of them in the last month (ugh, don't get me started on my GD dryer) and I only have 1 left ::sobs::
I LOVE those camis and was super bummed to see they didn't have them anymore the last time I was there. I have at least 8 of them in a variety of colors. I wore them when I was very pregnant last summer and had hoped to get new ones this year. I hope you can find new ones to replace them...then tell me where you got them!
IF you hit it at the right time, Target has cami's for 5 dollars... not sure how much the ones from Costco were..
Happy Tuesday ladies! I have a hella busy week at work. I also had to take tapatalk off my phone temporarily because of memory issues so I can be here unless I'm at home until I go in to the store to figure out why my phone is all of a sudden overloaded by just the basics. It's irrita
Has anyone ever ordered cabinets or done a kitchen remodel through cliqstudios? We're starting to get organized of a complete gut and rebuild and someone steered me to their site. Just looking for additional personal experience with them, but so far we are really impressed with their services and products.
I feel like by the time my kid turns 1 in July, your kids will all be having their second birthdays! Haha
I'm pretty sure DS's birthday is the day after your LO's (I don't know why I remember this, I'm a big dates person I guess haha), so technically, he'll be having his 3rd birthday
I made the mistake of having the kids' hair cut today. This wasn't either of their first cuts, but their first time at the local salon where I go so I was excited about it.

So I decided to call the salon and ask for a color correction. I just know what to ask for because apparently this guy doesn't comprehend basic English or pictures of what I want. But, it's free so I'm determined. The dark is too dark, the blond is too light, and it's raccoon streaky by the hairline. Any advice on what to ask for? Pics welcome

We're still nursing morning and night and I have like 500oz left in the deep freeze so we haven't started actual milk yet, but it feels like a milestone! No more planning what I wear around nursing/pumping! It's such a freeing feeling:)

Just keep rubbing it in
Kidding, that is really great, and I can't wait for the day I can wear a dress with a high neckline to work!

A more natural look... Ask to see the book with the swatches of different color hair if the have one then you can point to which colors you want.

Alright. So do they make a type of shade I can put on the window behind J's curtains? Like a window cling type thing? He's awake as soon as the sun comes up, no matter what time he went to bed, and this is making him a cranky butthead all day every day lately.

I'm sorry:( Is your transition not going as planned? DD definitely throws a mini fit when I give her the sippy with milk, but will take it after thrashing around in the floor for a min. I just let her have at it and keep hope that it will stop soon!

I bought these Toms for LO at goodwill for like $2, but they don't fit, anyone interested in them? PM me and I can ship them to you. If not, back to goodwill they go.
ETA: the actual shoes are a little more "used" than pictured above, but not in bad shape at all, and you could probably run them through the washer and they would be fine. Also, I should mention, they are size 3.

Uh, this is kind of shady (see what I did there?) but I've heard of parents putting tinfoil on Windows in the nursery because it blocks all of the light...if your really desperate you might try it? I've yet to find a blackout shade that actually is "blackout"

It's going okay, she will take milk from a bottle, but is hit or miss with the sippy. Not that it really makes a difference if I pump or not, since she takes milk from the bottle, be it breast or whole milk. That should probably be reason enough for me to stop right there. It's only been this week that she took WCM from the bottle, so I am going to give it a bit before I decide I am done for good. I have like 60oz in my freezer stash, probably.

That's awesome that she takes both! I'm nervous to try WCM for some reason. Good luck with deciding when to stop pumping, it's such an emotional decision!

Hmm, don't know about tinfoil. That just seems...weird? I guess maybe if I get desperate enough lol.

Hey guys. Finally home after a super busy 4 days! Smash cake went well yesterday and my friend took a Polaroid of J and I that I am absolutely in love with so I am going to AW here! Happy to finally be back to normal routine(which includes TCFing!)
