[isolemnlyswear]

Trying to take a Saint Patty's Day picture. It's getting harder and harder to take pictures haha

[mamanorris]

Lennon is seconds away from crawling, yesterday he pulled himself up to standing for the first time. ?

[Lola]

Never a good sign when pulling up to my office. Texted it to Dh.

@iheartmyshiba,
I am impressed your bed is made...I only do that when company is coming over

[jnnfrrose6]

Sending pics to the hubs since he left before she was up.


And this gem from Saturday because I love it.

Playing yesterday. He barely sits still anymore so hard to get pictures of.

[dawnfire]

Took this photo this morning to send to DH since he had to leave really early. Showing off LO's green onesie for St. Patrick's Day.

On our walk this evening thanks to daylight savings time.

On our way home today. He was so peaceful I had to snap a picture.
I think his hair is turning orangish/red! What do you all think?

[littlemissmarla]

I found these at BRU and thought they were hilarious, bought them for her Easter basket - had to show DH.

[rlb]

Passed out within 2 blocks of our walk yesterday. This is as close as we got to her 8 month pic.

I'm still the weirdo who checks out the shapes of babies heads. Everyone is looking good!

+1. Can't help it...ds1 was born with prematurely fused sutures in his head so I'm forever checking out head shape.

Was is craniosynostosis? Did he have to have surgery? I wondered if I would always be checking out head shapes.

It was and he did at 12 weeks old.

You probably will! Oh well.

Poor little guy! That must have been really scary. When I was doing research about his head I read about that and can't even imagine.

It was. Nothing like being introduced to parenthood the hard way! We found out he had it the day of his 1 month pedi checkup. Waiting eight weeks for the surgery was the hardest part. BUT we had a great neurosurgeon at a top children's hospital and lots of support from family/friends. Couldn't have gotten through it without them! Now he's a normal/healthy almost 6 year old who has no idea how tough he was. We were so surprised by how quickly he bounced back after the surgery -- it was crazy, considering what they did inside his head. He'll just never be able to shave his head without showing off his scar...it's like a zigzag headband. And DH secretly likes having a reason to prevent DS from playing football (chance of concussion/head injury makes it a no-go).

I'm rambling. Sorry!

@sharmon13 is does look like that doesn't it?! I look at DD hair all the time and see weird red tints. I think we've got a lot of little red/reddish hair J14 babies :-)

We definitely seem to have more red hair in one group than science says we should! Ha!

DD has a stuffed turkey she got from the holidays and she loves it! The legs and arms velcro on/off and the leg bones are perfect for her to chew on.

A sleeping baby with a full bottle gives me milk waste anxiety. Lol. Even if they are adorable!!

Your DS went through a lot! I bet the anticipation of the surgery was just awful. 8 weeks is a long time when you're waiting for something like that. Did he have to do helmet therapy too or did they catch it early enough that the surgery was enough?

Nope, no helmet. They mentioned that some kids need it after the surgery but he didn't.

ME too!! I thought it would just happen with BM, but I get anxious about the formula too. That stuff is expensive!!!

rlb, was your daughter born 7/17? I think she resembles my LO in many ways and if they had the same birthday and us having the same names. "Wee-ooh, wee-ooh" (That's my twilight zone sound)

[ladytiffany24]

I missed this yesterday! And most of you saw my real last picture on FB. So here's my second to last one...my sitter sent this me yesterday afternoon.

7/16!  That would have been eerie!

Trust me, I do too - for both!    I am a little lax with their time frames though, I figure they err on the side of caution.  I'm obviously not going to give her formula/milk that's been sitting out all day, but I don't chuck it if she doesn't eat all of it and it's fresh.  I'll stick it in the fridge and give it to her for her next bottle if it's appropriate.
