Think Thursday

[yummeecookee]

Hi Chicks. The weekend is getting closer. How are you all doing?

[yummeecookee]

Only 2 wakeups from C last night. And they were the easy kind: he nurses, pops himself off the boob, I put him back in the crib, viola- he rolls over back to dreamland.

I ordered a bunch of pics from shutterfly w my pampers rewards. I want to try and actually organize some hard copies instead of having them all on my phone.

[littleowl913]

Terrible night - I can't remember how many wakeups but they started at 9:45. so bad he was in my bed at 12:30. I'm so exhausted I let him hit my face for a good 5 minutes this morning b/c I too exhausted to move.

Anybody with a crawler have any advice to get my pig headed child to crawl. She refuses and gets mad at me because she won't crawl. When she's having a good day she'll happily scoot around because occasionally I'll look over and she's at a different spot on the carpet but that's a slow process and when she wants something out of her reach, she wants it NOW and god help whoever doesn't give it to her now. I need her to crawl. I will welcome her being into everything if it reduces the screaming and me having to carry her everywhere. CRAWL, BABY DAMN IT! I've tried crawling around on the carpet like an idiot to show her, putting things purposely out of her reach, helping to get her in the crawl position; her arms get it but her legs don't so she face plants and then refuses to continue trying.

GDI, I go to take a pump break and then realize I forgot to bring all my pump parts to work! Now I'm on my way home to get everything.

[kensie5226]

yummeecookee, I hate it when that happens.

MY BFF IS COMING, MY BFF IS COMING

littleredfish I think you are doing all you can. She will get there. Have you tried getting her older sibling playing with her on the ground?

It happens!! At least you live closer this time!

[winogirl]

littleredfish, F refuses to crawl too. he will wiggle worm his way over to something but it pisses him off and he would clearly rather be standing.

Hi guys!

E is still napping. Almost 2 hrs thankfully! But that means more than likely no afternoon nap so I'm trying to get all my work done now.

[samelly]

It is almost 9:00am and I was going to type that both kids are still sleeping but the older one just got up. Anyway, I got to sleep in a bit which was needed. Yesterday DS wouldn't nap all day and it was so frustrating so I'm glad he made up for it at night.

littleredfish, Mine refused to crawl till literally last week. She spun everywhere on her but no joke. And even now that she can do both she is insanely lazy lol She yells if we aren't sitting with her, but if we sit with her she crawls over and plops on our laps. She wants toys brought to and her preferred travel mode is to be carried. So needless to say even if your baby can crawl doesn't mean the mindset will change LMAO

Mine's a little diva.

Damn. Mine too, such a drama queen.

I bought snack containers with the tops they can stick their hand in but it prevents the snacks from spilling out easily. She knows how it works but if she tries even once and the snack falls out of her hand, it's over. Total meltdown and won't touch the container for several hours.

Unfortunately, her sister used to fascinate her but now she mostly just pisses her off with all of the hugs and kisses.

SAAAAME! but she'll only try to stand if I'm holding her hands. Which I can do for about 45 seconds before my back says eff this.

[kensie5226]

winogirl, littleredfish, E wasn't having any of it until about last week. I think it was when she realized she crawl places so she can STAND that really got her going. It was like overnight.

LMAO same.  Now she screams before he even gets there. He likes to hug her head, she doesn't feel the same

DD1 likes to dress her up in her play jewelry, takes her toys away to show her how to "use them right", then pretty much puts her in a hug/headlock all the time. Just now she took the babies arms and waved them around hard to make her "dance" so now DD2 is yelling at her. I'd be pissed too.

[younglove316]

This is my husband's other day off for the week so we are working on a few more organizational projects. One day I'm hoping to feel like my life and house is completely together....

DD2 finally seems to be adjusted to the crib! Now just to get her sleeping through the night

[kensie5226]

younglove316, the first time I truly felt like I was an adult was when I realized no one had it together and it's a life long challenge. Then I got depressed.

[samelly]

I dropped my daughter off for an art class and took DS grocery shopping and for a walk. Now I am at a coffee shop and he is napping in the ergo. I still haven't killed an hour and a half. Enjoying the peace and quiet though. Baby has a cold so he is enjoying the cuddle time too.

LMAO that made me laugh. Our toddlers sound very similar 

[littleredfish]

DH just told me he has to go on a training exercise from the end of October until just before December. Can the universe just get off my back for like, a day?

Baby's first road trip this weekend! It's only 4.5 hours away, so we plan on splitting up the trip with a stop for lunch, sit in the grass, etc
