Again? Already?

It's been soooo nice out in the mornings. Loving it! We can finally get outside for longer periods!

kida, I nearly spit my coffee out at that!

We are waiting on a call back from the ped, we are concerned because in the last week, C has stopped standing (sitting and crawling are fine, but he will no longer pull to stand, or stand at his activity table to play). So that's a little concerning, though I know there could be plenty of non-scary reasons for it.

Also confirmed C definitely has a sensitivity (allergy?) to avocado. This is the third time we've tried it, and he's broken out in a rash (the first time, he had a teething rash going on already so we didn't know, and the second time he definitely got a rash but it was also at the same time we gave him teething tablets and he got really sick - we wanted to isolate and see if he broke out from just the avocado). Poor guy, he really loves it, too!

[kida]

geners hopefully he's just being stubborn and not wanting to stand right now. Boo to the avocado allergy maybe he will grow out of it. Does he do ok with other tree nuts? If you haven't tried any yet I would do so cautiously just in case.

Eta I just read that avocado is in fact not a tree nut lol. I'm not sure where I read that it was at. But I did find that many ppl who are alergic to avocado are allergic to cinnamon.

kida, wish I could more than like that pooh post

It's Monday. I think I have a clogged duct on my left side. My boob is kind of awkwardly large and hard to extract milk from. Hoping I can get it back in line today.

I had another crap night of sleep last night. Hoping I can just blame it on it being Sunday night and knowing the weekend is coming to an end. EG slept very restlessly also.

I am getting ready to order some more everyday onesies from Carter's. We had hand-me-downs to get us through 12 month clothes, but I swear every time I turn around I am buying her new clothes lately. It's probably because I am too cheap to make a bulk purchase, so I make a ton of small purchases each week. Because I'm efficient like that.

kida, literal LOL at Pooh!

That's interesting about cinnamon - I'm trying to remember whether he's ever tried it, but I don't think so. 

I totally thought it was a tree nut, too!

MH talked to the ped and they are not concerned about him not standing right now, so hopefully he's just saving his energy for whatever new skill he's working on and he'll be back to it soon.

We got the recumbent bike put together over the weekend. I'm going to try and work out (bike + PT exercises) after the littles are down for their naps instead of laying down like I usually do. Hoping for a burst of energy instead of feeling like I can't keep my eyes open.

[obscurereference]

Well that totally worked. I don't feel like I'm going to fall asleep any minute. I really hope I can continue doing that during nap time!

MIL came over for an impromptu visit this morning. She's been making macarons and she brought us some. I've never had them before. They were good!

I suspect R will be walking full time in the next 2ish weeks. It makes me kind of sad. I'll miss crawling. It's so cute! I need to take a bunch of videos in the next few days.

[HelgaHuffle]

And here's hoping for a better night of sleep. Up every 20 minutes is torture.

geners, we thought C was allergic to avocado (pretty widespread hives this summer). She tested negative to it and we also tested mango, banana and kiwi as well as latex. I have only tried it once since and she didn't eat it so I haven't been able to see if she reacts again.

[obscurereference]

HelgaHuffle Wow I can't believe you almost have a full time walker! That's crazy!

Emma has ramped up the standing/walking independent as well yesterday. She is really trying hard to go it alone though you can't "force" her, no boy. She has to do it on her own and not when you are calling her to come to you. Nope, that means a plop down on her butt/knees and just looking at you.

Also, she has figured out how to descend the stairs! I am shocked by this, saw it first when she was walking up them, reversed and came down. Okay, no biggie. Well she was crawling around and we have a step down into the family room and the kiddo knew to turn herself around and go butt first down the step. She is such a smartie it is unreal.

And her sleep is shot to hell. She didn't fall asleep until 10 pm last night. Freaking 10 pm! And that was with over an hour of actively trying to put her butt to sleep. Ugh.
