I think DS got passed around too much at nephew's bday party. He started crying so we came inside so I could put him down for a nap, and he lost his ever loving mind. I've heard him shriek like that twice ever before. Finally got him to nurse. He keeps dozing off and waking up whimpering with scared eyes. Guess I'm missing present opening.

Ugh same thing happens with my LO. He is so sensitive to lots of people and loud noises. I was at my cousins baby shower and he cried like he did after he got vaccines. I couldn't get him to relax for like two hours. It was miserable. Again same thing to a lesser degree this past weekend at a 1 year olds birthday party. I'm now getting paranoid bringing him places because I end up spending the majority of the time calming a freaked out baby!

Soooooooo just observed DH and SD1 have a water balloon fight... And some how DD and I ended up soaked...needless to say she was not happy about getting misted with the water hose and tbh if it wasn't for it being 90+ I wouldnve been happy either. I hope she does OK when we head to the pool and beach... I wanna enjoy the water too...any suggestions.

Also for those who's LO have started solids what was the first food you gave them. I'm make our baby food and started with Carrots, the Diva is not a fan and due to several family members with apple allergies we were told to skip them but I don't know what I should make next. Any suggestions?

[cougarette]

AppropriateChocolate We haven't started solids yet, but I've heard that sweet potatoes are usually popular.

Whoa, that was a lot to go through after being away for a few days! I am now semi-caught up though.

seamonster I hope the appointment goes well and that you can come up with a good plan!

miniwheat Yay! That's huge!

PikoPiko I'm glad your LO is doing better.

We went to a wedding this weekend at the beach. It was so beautiful! Bride and groom have been together for 11y so they are really comfortable with each other and the whole day was very personal and intimate. I loved being a part of it.
I was also kinda involved in that I presented all the speaches and stuff during dinner, so H took care of DD almost the entire evening (and mama got tp drink-yay!). He was so lost at first, but found his stride eventually. He later admitted to being really nervous at first.

I'm now thinking I need to leave him alone with the baby for a longer time, like a day or so. I think it would be beneficial for both of them.

AppropriateChocolate,sweet potatoes? I don't know, I've never done this before, but I recall that being an early, and popular, food for my goddaughter.

[AppropriateChocolate]

@nolagal, cougarette, I may try those next, the first time she ate the carrots she had a spoonful and started pouting like why would you do this to me. Now she gives me the not this again.

AppropriateChocolate
We haven't started yet either, but my book suggests (among other things) sweet potatoes, reg potatoes and parsnips for first food.

[AppropriateChocolate]

@alyllyra, I think that will be what I start on Weds. I know they say feed each food individually for 4 days before doing something else but I'm going 7 days just to be safe for allergic reactions etc.

Thanks ladies..sweet potatoes it is.

[anchovies]

We just did boring rice cereal and used formula as the mixing agent. DS loved it! He was staring it down, leaning towards it and having a ball. I plan to try sweet potatoes in the near future.

I left H with DD who really needed to go down for a nap and he started protesting. My BIL ended up rocking her to sleep while I was gone. I think I need to leave him alone with her more often too.

My family is playing apples to apples and I am in here feeding a baby and putting her to bed. I am a teeny bit sad.

DH is really good with DD but he is terrified of being alone with her. He has zero experience with kids under 5 so he is still pretty nervous. I've left them alone for short periods of time but nothing major yet. I know he would do fine and I just need to start doing it more and foe longer periods.

I asked H to get me a treat from the grocery store. He got me gum. I'm not talking to him for at least two minutes.

This made me lol.

DH asked me what I was reading. I turned the question on him and he said he would bring me a Cadbury Egg. Good man!

Hahaha cginge I did the same thing. You're going to need to be more specific next time!

Next time will be "Please fetch me a delicious, high calorie/fatty/preferably carb-y treat that I will enjoy chewing and swallowing. If you disappoint me, I might kick you in the nuts."

Yeah I don't know iPhone/iPad stuff as well. Can you press and hold on the gif and get a menu of options? Somewhere in there should be a copy url or similar option.

Gaaaahhhhh I sunburned my baby! We went to a family member's first communion and the church was standing room only, so since we're not the parents and it wasn't our parish and they didn't have a cry room (party foul!!!) we stood with the overflow outside group. I thought nothing of it, until later when I realized the service was over two hours and we were in overcast sun. Poor baby!!!! Can I aloe it or something if it bugs him??

Oh! Poor baby and poor jensoprano82. I am terrified of doing that.

Guys, can a 4-month-old have a nightmare? DD just woke up with a start, crying like she was scared. I rushed in and held her and she let out a few sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks, and then calmed down.

It was heartbreaking.

[mommadozer]

jensoprano82 if his skin is burning, you could try an oatmeal bath. You can buy oatmeal wash at the store or if you have oatmeal at home, just grind up into a fine powder and mix with bath water.

Same here! Its not the most fun first food byt usually a safe/easy option

[WittyLittle]

jensoprano82 i think this will happen to 90% of us eventually. In between baths you can use a cold wet paper towel and put it on his skin for some relief.
Ooooh and watch out that his clothes dont rub against it. hope its nothing and he doesnt notice!!!

I think aloe should be fine, especially pure aloe. Hope it's not too bad. I need to be better at keeping LO out of the sun myself.

I hate that your little ones do this, but I'm glad to hear it's not just mine. People always seem to swarm lo and she has a huge meltdown. I've kinda given up on going a lot of places because it's not any fun for me once she melts down anyway.

I'm glad to know it's not just mine either. I was getting a little worried about his sensitivity! I mean I could totally see why a baby would freak out when a bunch of people are all talking to him and giving him attention. But when does that end?
