Omg this is my last check-in disneykate!

1. 11.75 months! My daughter turns 1 next week! 😭😭😭

2. She is really growing! She's waving and blowing kisses more, lots of peek a boo, walking with her walker, pointing. The growth is explosive!

3. Sleep! I can't get her schedule right. She is taking 2 naps but fights the afternoon nap then ends up sleeping until 5 then won't go to bed until 9. I'm thinking of dropping a nap. Ugh.

4. I have been really emotional lately over the one year milestone. It's probably unhealthy. DH doesn't get it. Otherwise, we are good.

QOTW: favorite was parachute in elementary. I hated everything else.

OMG! I can't believe O is already 1! Where did that year go? westiemom

Thanks for the checkin disneykate!

1. Sally is 29 weeks and will be 7 months in a week!

2. Baby girl has learned how to give the "raspberry" and she insists on doing it all the time. So cute. Other than that, she is sitting up and loves to smile and grab all the things!

3. Challenges: sometimes feeding her is hard, but we manage. She's easily distracted...

4. Adults are okay. I am having a hard time slipping into "adult time" mode when my husband wants lovin'. It's probably because I hate my body now but am having a hard time doing anything about it because time to do so right now just doesn't exist...

5. Of course! This is at daycare!

QOTW: The dance unit!

[peaseblossom55]

1. Age this week? 5 1/2 months 24 weeks ish

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She giggles and smiles when I sing Old Mac Donald and "sings" along.

3. Challenges? She is teething, and gets super cranky at night.

4. How are the adults doing? Good, just tired.

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

QOTW: What was your favorite/least favorite activities in gym class? I love the dance/gymnastics unit. I hated anything with a ball- football, soccer, baseball, basketball....

[disneykate]

westiemom, I can't believe O will be 1 next week! I will be having all the feels when Emma gets closer to her first birthday and I know my DH won't get it.
eponine1007, Aww, she is so happy! Sorry that you are not loving your body right now. Maybe a special nightgown or lingerie would help?
Winnifred, I will add you for next week!
peaseblossom55, Emma also like listening to mommy singing. She doesn't seem to mind that I'm not the best singer.

1. Age this week? 8.75 months

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She is improving her crawling skills. She is now much faster at crawling. We had to put up the baby gate in front of the stairs. She is also pulling up on things, only to her knees though, not a standing position.

She loves playing peek a boo, either by covering her face with a burp cloth or when you peek around a doorway.

3. Challenges? Separation anxiety has ramped up. I can't even go to the bathroom without her crying and she has been crying most mornings when I leave her at daycare. She gets upset if I dare to walk away from her even when she can still see me, like when I am walking around her daycare room to gather all her stuff at the end of the day.

4. How are the adults doing? We are busy this week trying to prep for our upcoming vacation. We leave in a week and a half for a cruise to Bermuda!

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share? Saying hi to the doggy

QOTW: What was your favorite/least favorite activities in gym class? Some of my favorites were archery and the days we were allowed to just walk around the track and talk to our friends. westiemom, I also liked the parachute in elementary school! My least favorite was swimming in high school. My hair takes forever to dry, so I would put it in a bun afterwards and it would still drip down my back for the rest of the day.
