This check in is for all SAIFers with an infant 4-12 months. If you’re new to SAIF or the check in, just join right in and please tag disneykate so I can add you!
1. Age this week? 11.75 months. His birthday is next Thursday. Hold me.
2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He is THIS close to walking! He keeps walking between the coffee table and sofa, but I'm not quite counting it because the sofa is basically keeping him from faceplanting ;-)
3. Challenges? None really. He's been sleeping a little more restlessly this week, but he's still STTN or only waking up once.
4. How are the adults doing? Doing well. I'm super ready for his birthday party on Saturday, and I basically have him all packed already for Disney next week. I am getting myself all packed up on Sunday, and yesterday we bought all of the stuff we need to ship down--diapers, pouches, etc. I feel ridiculously organized for once!
5. Got a cute pic from this week to share? This is from his one year photos that we had done last weekend!
QOTW: Do you rinse your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher? If it's going to be in there a while, I do. If it's right before I'm about to run it, I don't bother!
2. Achievements: so much! She is blowing kisses, saying bye bye, waving, laughing so much, signing for milk; it's been big lately! Her personality has grown a lot this week!
3. Challenges: those tantrums! I can't always figure out what's wrong and she just flips out on me. She is so frustrated when she can't communicate.
4. Adults are good! I have been ultra hormonal thanks to 10 days of spotting then AF finally arriving so I'm short tempered and he gets the brunt of that!

shananagins I can't believe he's almost 1!!! I love his pics he's just the cutest!
westiemom sorry for the hormones! Yay for O turning 1 soon!
M will be 9 months next week!!! I just can't believe it!
He is pulling up on EVERYTHING!! I think he might walk before crawling and I know this is not developmentally a good thing so I'm trying to do more tummy time. He is able to move around on his belly and arm crawl backwards.
Food... this kid does not dig solids at all!!! I try and try, but he barely consumes anything!
Adults are ok. We are looking to relocate to FL to be near family, but job prospects for dh are few and far between since he doesn't have state specific experience. I told him there is always driving for uber!
Qotw. I rinse a little and put IT ALL in the dishwasher.
shananagins I love the pic! I can't believe he is almost 1! I hope you have a blast in Disney! peaseblossom55 Congrats on getting through the first two days back at work. mg0202, Yay for sleep! westiemom, Aww, I can't wait until Emma can blow kisses tikoberry99, Sorry that M isn't feeling solid food. Emma sometimes gives us a hard time with her purees and will not feed herself finger food. Becca, Fx the twins keep up the STTN trend!
1. Age this week? 8.5 months
2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She is crawling!! She has been working on it for over a month and she can finally do it. She still moves pretty slowly for now and doesn't go very far before sitting again, but it's a start.
3. Challenges? We tried some baby led weaning by giving her pancakes last weekend. She ate them but only when I put the pieces in her mouth. She won't put food in her mouth, just literally everything else she gets her hands on, haha.
4. How are the adults doing? We are good! Today is our anniversary and we went out to dinner. Nothing too fancy, just Texas Roadhouse because we took Emma along. I mentioned at daycare yesterday that it was our anniversary today and the teachers helped Emma make us a card. It was so sweet!
5. Got a cute pic from this week to share? Emma in her new jumper that my parents got her for an early Easter present
QOTW: Do you rinse your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher? I always rinse! Especially since I usually only run the dishwasher once a week. DH makes fun of me because he thinks that defeats the purpose of a dishwasher.

Omg I can't believe this is my last check-in! What?!? Where did the past year go?
shananagins That pic is super cute! Makes me kinda wish we had done 1 year photos.
1. He's going to be a year on Saturday! What an amazing trip around the sun. Sometimes I still can't even believe that I actually got pregnant, let alone that he's been here for a whole year already. What a blessing!
2. This month has been a big one for him. He's learned so much in just a few weeks! He is crawling all over, pulls himself up, drinks from his sippy cup, and I think he's trying to say doggy. So exciting!
3. I think he's having a bit of separation anxiety lately. I hate leaving for work when he's crying. Breaks my heart!
4. I'm a bit of an emotional mess with his birthday, party planning, potential rain (it's at a park and we have no back-up plan), AF, open house at work (and no baby-sitter), Easter, etc. Trying to not get so caught up in the stress and busy-mess of everything that I miss out on enjoying the special moments. Gotta remind myself to slow down.
