1. Age this week? 14 weeks, OMG I can't believe it!

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She is laughing a ton, which is SUPER fun! She wasn't interested in taking a nap when we got home last night so I just picked her up and sat on the floor in her room with her while she laughed and smiled and drooled all over. Definitely the highlight of my day And she's much more interested in her toys than ever before, so that's fun!

3. Challenges? None really. I'd like to get her to bed a little earlier but it's kind of hit or miss somewhere in between 7:45 and 8:30pm.

4. How are the adults doing? Doing great! This is my first full week back to work, which sucks though. But every night lately when we get her to bed, my DH and I go to our basement to work out. So that's been good!

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share?

This look on her face is from seeing herself in the camera - too funny! Baby's first selfie.



And this isn't super new but still cute 



QOTW: What is your worst habit? Ugh I'm embarrassed to admit this but I pick my lips. I can't help it! They're always dry no matter how much chapstick I use.

Oh no! This is my last check-in! DS will be 4 months on Saturday.

1. Age this week? 4 months on Saturday!

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Nothing new really. He's sitting better in the bumbo and likes it. I love watching DS1 and 2 play with him. He loves it too!

3. Challenges? He's been congested and phlegmy for a while. He hates tummy time. I don't remember my other boys hating it still at this age.

4. Meh! I'm exhausted, but ok.

QOTW: Biting my nails! I wish I had nice nails.

1. Age this week? 14 weeks!

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? Tommy did well his first week at daycare!!

3. Challenges? I'm back at work. Work sucks. By the time I get home, H has Tommy fed and cleaned up and he's either falling asleep or already asleep. I miss being home with him... but I'm excited to have money coming in soon.

4. How are the adults doing? We're good!

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share? from this morning

QOTW: What is your worst habit? I pick at my lips too, Winnifred! More like my whole face. Grrr.

mrswillie, it's crazy how time flies!! We tried our bumbo seat too, I'm not sure if DS likes it or not lol. The jury is still out :-p

[mrswillie]

lastnamewithheld that's the worst -- feeling like you have no time with them. Get some snuggles with him.

6 weeks

She is just a prettt chill baby most of the time and loves being worn in the ring sling. I took her to my PP appt and everyone loved her.

Reflux is still a challenge. Poor thing is in pain after feeds and I wear spit up 24/7.

We are doing pretty good. A little tired and more easily frustrated but some of that stems from very active toddler.

QOTW: I pick at my nails/nail beds

[Winnifred]
