Let's get random this week

[redandblue]

In no hurry for M to walk. Not at all! Lol! He is a super star with crawling, and we are good with that. Lots of pulling to stand and some brief cruising, but in no rush for walking! Lol

[packmomma]

2dumbdogs I guess when people ask me I've been saying he's walking between stuff and he's trying longer distances. The past couple of days he's been walking a lot more of the time though and I just didn't know where the line between cruising and walking is.

[ampaints]

We're so far from walking. M still army crawls. He tries to pull up sometimes, but really just to get in my lap. He'll tolerate us helping him stand a little more but doesn't try to step at all. But he does love bouncing.

If he can walk without holding onto something then it's walking

We aren't walking either and I have one of the oldest A15ers. I'm not worried. Ethan has been walking while holding onto furniture for about a month so I think it won't be long

I have book eaters too. The majority of our books have chunks missing, it's gross. And I'm constantly pulling soggy cardboard out of DD2's mouth now.

I'm so glad I''m not the only one with a book eater!

Okay I guess I meant when do we classify our kids as "walkers". And I guess I got my answer. I wasn't classifying him as such but I guess it's time.

[runningmommy519]

We played in the kiddie pool after naps. E played in his play sink he got for his birthday. I relaxed and watched the kids play.

I am not looking forward to this heat. It's suppose to be a heat index of 110 on thursday. We will not be leaving the house. Yuk!

You have a walker on your hands!! Grab your running shoes and enjoy! Lol! Cruising is really when they are holding onto to something and walking around that way. But walking would be not holding anything.

[packmomma]

runningmommy519 ugh I hate the heat. Especially because it makes our a/c run like crazy. Hope you guys can stay cool for the rest of the week.

[redandblue]

Whenever I read/hear people talking about walkers my brain always jumps to TWD...lol

Yeah I think I'm still in denial and I'm just noticing he's doing more walking than cruising anymore. It threw me off thinking he's a walker.

So when do we say our kid is walking? W is now walking 80% of the time. He can walk back and forth across entire rooms. He definitely still crawls and cruises too though so is he walking?

I would call that walking.

From my experience people want to know if they are walking (without holding on to support) or cruising (walking while holding onto things like a couch or your hands). 

Id say W is walking. 

Eta: I really should finish reading before replying. I see redandblue covered this.

I woke up with a little sinus drainage and store9throat. I've felt progressively worse through out the day. I'll be going to bed early tonight and hope I feel fine in the morning.

tuscanlatte what are you going to use your mixer to make first?!

[packmomma]

tuscanlatte that's a thing of beauty! I vote cookies!

[packmomma]

W just had eggplant parm for dinner and was a big fan. H got home in time to give him a bath (my most disliked activity) and the painter that was recommended just swung by and gave us a quote.

[packmomma]

ampaints hope you feel better!

[redandblue]

ampaints I was going to ask tuscanlatte the same thing! What are you going to make?? I've been tempted to get one of those mixers and keep seeing them on buy/sell sites. Maybe when I go back to work I will get one...

[tuscanlatte]

I don't know! I have to leave for a work trip early tomorrow but I will probably make a pie, cookies and a chocolate cake

[abominationsnowman]

H just told me the weather is terrible, so they are stuck at sea. He won't be home for a few extra days.

[redandblue]

ampaints NOOOOO!! No vacation week sickness!!! I hope a good night sleep will do the trick. Do ALL the preventive measures (fluids, echenacia, cold FX, apple cider vinegar, cut an onion in your room, netti pot, coconut oil..thats gotta fix something too right? It's a miracle oil....lol).

[redandblue]

abominationsnowman so sorry...I hope he comes home soon! What a long road for you guys!

[abominationsnowman]

I need to posta few more to convey my pain.

[tuscanlatte]

abominationsnowman nooooooooooo. That is the worst! Awful! Terrible!

I wish I could send you wine and a babysitter

[packmomma]

abominationsnowman oh no hope he's safe and get a back sooner than expected. Also, is he crab fishing? I had a few friends in Seattle who repaired those boats. Those babies are huge!

Salmon fishing. It's only a thirty foot boat. No one has showered for 34 days. I cannot imagine the cabin fever/smell combo.

I bet they are ripe. Do you make him shower before he's allowed in the house
