I've been MIA as I drown in marking culminating projects and exams, but have a few minutes to post quickly. On our way to visit my family yesterday while DH was away at the NHL draft.
She had lots of fun with her grandmama and cousins
What she brought me this morning when I told her to get a snack. Mmm cat food and tacos!
Ch decided 3am was a great time to wake up and have a massive meltdown and she is being the worst at nursing right now and I'm trying not to have a panic attack from the feeling of her nibbling at my tits but it's the only way to calm her down and she was literally screaming in my ear. I'm not having a good night.
Hope she's calmed down and you're both catching up on sleep.

Yesterday was fun. Work was good and when I came home we decided to go out for Mexican food. It was hot, but cloudy so we ate dinner on their patio. I had 2 mango margaritas but regretted it this morning during my run lol
Thanks guys. She was really restless so DH let her get out of bed and he followed her to the kitchen and gave her a drink of water-after that she settled down so maybe she was just thirsty? Poor bebe. But yeah that was like a full hour plus of cranky MOTN toddler antics. Grr. Lots of coffee needed today.

BabyStandish Mexican (and two margaritas) sound amazing! Love your pictures too!
Mh is away on a job until Wed night. So just me and B for a few days. Seems like he is getting sick though so hope that passes quickly! We'll probably head to the pool again today, but it stinks he gets cold after only 20 min. So all the getting dressed/sunscreen/getting out the door for such a short time. Luckily it's just across the street but I hope he lasts a little longer as the summer goes on! Hope everyone has a good day!

I had to throw way the 360° cup. The top rubber part, underneath, was moldy. Nasty. I always unscrewed the top to wash it and the actual cup inside. I did not realize I should be pulling that rubber piece off. Just an fyi. This is the cup I am talking about.

This is the cup we use and I love it. Luckily someone told me how to clean it so we've never had any issues. Gross. I threw out a couple of F's bath toys last night because I could see mould in them. No more squirting bath toys for us, what a waste.
Lookin' fancy at the baby cafe (they have a gated play space at the back). Trying to get her down for a nap now and trying not to freak out bc DH found a few of my sisters (migraine treatment) pills on the floor of the bathroom and was that why LO was acting weird last night??? She seems ok but holy shit. Pissed at my sis for leaving them where Ch could get them, if she did in fact get them, or for dropping them... Idk. Not cool.
ourcrazynavylife her hair has gotten soooooo long! BabyStandish too cute! I love when my LO flirts, it's so funny ashlantic happy anniversary! littlelion how are you feeling? reginaphalange3 PJ twins movie night sounded fun! megpie5 you two girls are adorable! bkmama0 I love Ch's shades! raven I love leaving LO home with DH I feel like he has a new appreciation for what I do (I don't stay at home but I do the majority of the care for LO because he works longer hours etc) dashook how did the beach go?! Taking my LO tomorrow! laceysbryan sorry for the BFN. I hope you had a good weekend. We got some plants too Hopefully I got everyone!
We have been doing tons of house stuff plus I ended school on Wednesday, so sorry for the lack of check ins on my end! I think I'm back now DH and I are grilling, planting a veggie garden, and then my FIL is watching Leo so we can go to the movies tonight. AW

megpie5 I'm glad leo wasn't using this cup very much...but still so gross to think he sipped from it. sgio7485 Feeling pretty good. Mostly just some backache and always feeling hungry.
Post by reginaphalange3 on Jun 26, 2016 14:26:09 GMT -5
sgio7485 yay for finishing school and those pictures are so cute (and love the play house)! littlelion ugh that stinks about the cup! megpie5 I'm done with those squeeze bath toys too! So annoying bkmama0 hope C enjoys the play place, and that's scary about the medicine...hopefully C hadn't found it. ourcrazynavylife cute pool pictures!
I feel like an idiot... I made 'cloud dough' that I saw online (just flour and veg oil mixed) and it was pretty underwhelming actually! But after letting B play with it inside and the mess that followed, I thought duh this is an outside toy. Well as we were playing on the patio I'm thinking hmm hope this doesn't attract ants........ Spoiler alert, it does I guess I'm going to get some borax tonight to try to set a trap to get rid of them...taking any other ant deterring tips haha

A little dab of super glue over the hole before you use them and they stay mold free!

We tried this with a hot glue gun and it fell off, and they ended up getting moldy anyways. Maybe super glue would have been better! We have some rubber ducks that has a tiny hole and I ended up cutting a big hole so the water just flows right out.
littlelion we have those cups and I'll be checking them! We tossed our Tommee Tippee cups because mold could get in the valve and there was no way to see it. There was a whole recall on it.
Thanks for all the anniversary wishes, ladies! We had a blast yesterday. Paddle boarding was a lot of fun, but I'm really sore today. Dinner was good and I finally tried a Moscow mule that all my friends raved about. It was delicious! That might be my new summer drink. Finding Dory was really cute.
Our pictures got cancelled today because of the weather, so we just worked on stuff around the house. Dh did yard work and I played with lo in his pool. Dh found a yellow jacket nest IN THE GROUND, which is all kinds of nope. Fuck bees.
We finally got lo a decent looking haircut after we butchered it in the spring. Every year we take a picture on/near our anniversary, while holding last year's pic. It's fun seeing how things change over time. This was our best attempt this year.
laceysbryan sorry for the bfn. ourcrazynavylife glad your presentation went well! You got some great pics of Em in the pool. raven that's a lot of hockey in a short time! Hope you got to rest up today. bkmama0 big hugs to you. I hope that whatever was bugging Ch last night is better tonight. That's really scary about your sister's meds- hope that wasn't the case! megpie5 that's kind of how I felt when lo weaned. It was agony to nurse during O time and I was tired of him playing around. I thought I'd be more sad that we were done nursing, but I felt more proud of myself for even making it that far... and kind of relieved to have my boobs back. Lol Good luck with grading! When are you officially done for the summer? Cracked up at that last picture. She looks so pleased with herself! littlelion I kinda wish it would rain here. All the rain you guys get dries up by the time it reaches us. Everything is so dry here. Hope you found something fun to do indoors! BabyStandish mango margaritas sound so good! reginaphalange3 hope B isn't getting sick. Good luck solo parenting the next few days. How did the pool go today? Thanks for being the Pinterest guinea pig and trying out the cloud dough. Good luck with the ants. We use this stuff called Ortho Home defense that you can spray around windows, doors, etc. It's supposed to keep bugs out. It definitely doesn't last as long as the package says, but it does a fairly decent job. I just make dh respray when I notice more bugs that usual sneaking in the house. sgio7485 yay for being done with school! Leo is adorable in that house. How's he doing with his speech these days?

ashlantic just more motivation to get leo using a regular cup. And very handsome little guy you got there! I like how you include your cat in your anniversary pic tradition.
ashlantic the cat in the picture is killing me. I love that the kitty is always included! LO is doing (maybe) a little better in the speech department. We have mama, dada, ball, no, "yah", "mmhmmm", monk-monk for his monkey and milk. I'm still concerned but we are getting there! Thank you for asking
You guys. You might remember I posted a few weeks back about my future SIL telling me to find a babysitter in upstate Maine for their August wedding or bring someone to watch LO (the ringbearer) for the reception because he was only welcome to walk down the aisle and leave? It became such a ****show since then. They're relationship has completely fallen apart to the point where they called the wedding off. I feel terrible- I really liked my future SIL even though I didn't appreciate her bridezilla side. Her mother is batshit bonkers, however, and has been sending my BIL a series of crazy texts all day long. It's been quite dramatic over here today.

ashlantic that haircut makes your LO look so grownup!! The pool has been good, he loves the water and even dunks his face! Love your anniversary pic too! sgio7485 aw man sorry for the drama for your bil and family. That's a shame. Glad you're feeling better about your LO talking. How're the house renovations?

I'm watching abc's gameshow night. It's pretty corny, but good background type of show. I didn't catch family feud, but now I want to go on $100,000 Pyramid haha! (Match game really is not close to as good as the original though in my humble opinion!)
