I'm going to design a line of baby clothes made for kiddos with chunky butts and thighs. I'm starting to struggle with getting clothes that fit properly. The upcoming season change on the brink of a size change isn't helping.
Also wtf with all the leggings for girls. I want pants. Not leggings.
Lol I was the same way but now I appreciate the leggings even on my chunky thighed toddler.
I looooove how they look on her..I can't get enough of her rolls. But, for some reason the waistband is tighter on the leggings than on the pants. She's in 9 months leggings that are a good 2-3 inches too long. NBD, I just don't want her to be uncomfortable.

Yeah I hear ya on that. Hannah Andersson has been good as has tea brand both more expensive (thank you Grandma!). I think it's also why I did a lot of one piece outfits at this age with S. Have you seen baby legs? You could probably use those to get you through to warmer weather. Or just go to the boys section.

Last night I spoke to my brother to let him know our sister is getting engaged (this weekend maybe?) because he's been with his girlfriend forever and I didn't want her to be caught off guard. They've been wanting to get engaged for awhile, but wanted to wait until it was financially doable.
Well...he was excited. Very excited. Because he just bought a ring and is proposing next month!! So much love going around!!

Morning ladies. So C has been sleeping better the past couple days. We're back to only one wakeup a night. I'm so relieved but now I'm wondering if it was just the cold and not regression causing it. I'm really hoping it was both because I don't want to go through it again so soon.
He also has started playing a new game where he grabs his bottle with both hands then pushes it down and knocks it out of his mouth. Or he sticks his fingers in his mouth while eating and gets milk everywhere. I can imagine the mess we're going to have with solid foods lol.
Speaking of which.. for those who are not EBF, when do you plan on starting solids? I am really thinking that C is ready for some cereal. I don't know if I can just go ahead and start it or if I should wait for our 4 month visit with the pediatrician first.

Ahhh I look at Hannah Andersson and Tea Collection with lust aggiebug. I was hoping to wait until she stopped growing SO quickly, but the rompers on the TC site might be the perfect outfit for our issue. Thank you!
sophiegrace Even my skinny little has issues with the waist being too tight in some brands. So exciting that you've got 2 engagements about to happen in your family! I think my dad is finally going to propose in April. He first told me about it last year. I'm the only person he has told. I'm so happy it will finally happen!
goldenlove3 I know some people start solids at 4 months. After my research into it with Lillian, I'm firmly in the nothing before 6 months camp. It has nothing to do with ebf or not. It's all about digestive maturity. If you really think he's ready, definitely talk to your pediatrician first at your 4 month appointment.
sophiegrace I do too. And the TC is Australian inspired this season and I have a deep love affair with Australia especially when it comes to DD (Long story short we went before TTC and the family joke was calling our potential first kid Syndey) I even called her my Koala when she was little. I want it all.

goldenlove3 I know that question wasn't directed at me, but I'm waiting until 6 months only because of her MSPI history and my own history of food allergies. I want her gut to be as mature as possible. If that weren't the case I would definitely be trying some oatmeal or even avocado mashed with BM. She throws herself at our food and grabs at it. We've had to start eating with her in her high chair. I would ask about PB at your 4 month for sure and see what their protocol is for starting it early. Also, FX that the rough sleep taught him to self soothe enough to keep him sleeping like a champ.
Team acceptance over here too waitwhat. Enjoy that fresh air and time with your friends!
goldenlove3 I would definitely wait until your 4 month appointment. It has absolutely nothing to do with formula vs BFing just it's definitely early and I think it would be best to be on the same page with your pediatrician.
Also don't think you have to start with cereal, you can but you definitely don't have to! I always found it gross so I avoided it.

Thanks for the input. I'll wait for our appointment. It's only a couple weeks away anyway. He just seems ready. Very interested in our food when we're eating and seems to be insatiable some days. I never really looked into the digestive system maturity part of it so I'm going to do some reading today. I wasn't thinking about going for full blown solids right away but was thinking of adding in a couple meals of rice or oatmeal for a few weeks first.

I had this same thought while getting D dressed this morning. They are too tight up top and I had to kind of shimmy them to get them over her thigh rolls.
Like they are definitely cute but do I really need to start teaching my daughter at 3 months old about wearing form-fitting clothing?? Fortunately I have a bunch of boy pants in her size from DS. Because obviously comfortable pants are a masculine thing lol

Hit the nail on the head.
I sent out the cutest picture of her doing tummy time with just her diaper on and I got back, "she has bigger cleavage than you!!!" Yeahhh, ok. Thanks for somehow managing to body shame both of us. Admittedly, I might be overly sensitive but I'd prefer to shower my daughter with positive thoughts regarding her body.
Good morning ladies! +23485389 to needing to keep eyes open with tape! But of course it's on a day where I won't be able to nap because of L's big hearing test. I'm so nervous about it because he needs to be asleep but he hasn't been napping well!
goldenlove3, what makes you think C is ready? I know that sounds snarky but I don't know how else to word it. I'm genuinely curious about the signs you're seeing to suggest he's ready! My neighbor was putting cereal in her son's formula. FFWC I thought it was too soon but she never shared why they started so early but I never asked. I'm worried I'll push it because I'd be very excited for something new to try with him! My research was that when you start adding rice cereal, it's a compliment to their meal, not a full replacement. Is that wrong?

I agree completely.
*Possible TW - body image*
I've actually been extremely cognizant about only saying positive things about my appearance in front of my kids. I have vivid memories of my mom always calling herself fat or making negative remarks about her appearance.
The first time I ever thought I was fat and felt self-conscious around my peers was in 4th grade. I was 9 years old. Even before that I specifically remember a day when I was riding my bike (I was probably 6 or 7) and thinking I should keep going so my family would stop calling me "Thunder Thighs."
This past weekend when we were with my family, my mom made several mean comments about herself (something about her "ugly face," and wanting a pillow anytime we were going to take a pic so she could hide her "big fat belly"). I wish she wouldn't say these things but more than that I wish she could see herself through her grandchildren's eyes because all they know is that they love her and not that her physical appearance doesn't fit into some societal ideal that she is applying to herself.
I really want to break this cycle. The kids are obviously young, but for example I like when DS sees me exercising. I go out of my way to let him see me doing it, and I always tell him that I do it to be strong and healthy.
Here's my #milkdrunk baby sleeping on me... I'm hungry, but he hasn't been napping well so I'm stuck because I need him to nap! Sleep begets sleep right? Poor guy inherited my awful sinus issues!

So much luck cheshie6!! I hope he passes with flying colors!! You are correct that solids should compliment and not replace formula/BM until closer to a year. The first six months are more about learning and exploring. Some babies do fantastic and others take awhile to warm up to the idea. As for the rice cereal in the bottle, a lot of people do it to keep their babies fuller, longer and therefore they sleep longer during the night. It's really just a bunch of empty calories so not recommended.
goldenlove3 I'm not BFing but do agree that it more has to do with it being early. We have our 4month appt March 10th and I'll be asking the pedi what he thinks about it - esp given the reflux issues we have here and the fact they they are STILL eating every 2hrs consistently. I've already allowed things to "hit their lips" but obviously no where near eating/chewing/offering. Example, if I ate a banana and the last bite I put in my mouth was without a peel, I'd let the banana sit on my finger for a second, wipe off any chunk and let them suck my finger. My only thought was I don't want the first time they eat something to be the first time they've tasted it bc I fear the surprise of new taste could lead to them being more likely to choke - probably completely made up but have you ever taken a bite of something and been surprised at the taste, I usually breathe in when that happens. Also AV and AB are doing the EXACT same thing you describe C as doing - grabbing bottle, pushing it away, trying to bring it back, sticking their hands in their mouth at the same time as they have the bottle in there etc. Cute as it is, it's kind of frustrating here bc x2 its logistically difficult to get them both to eat without mishaps.
waitwhat 65* ?!?! I think we are hitting 52-53 and I was all happy about that. Sorry J fooled you last night. He and AB can be high school buds who still have all the bedtime crutches.
