AHMAHGOSH! WHile I was swearing at my computer screen/tablet screen(?) DS just finally rolled from tummy to back on his own! YES!!! FINALLY! IT ONLY TOOK ALMOST 2 MONTHS! I'm so proud right now the best victories are the most difficult ones :')
how strange every time I press on any link within proboard/tcf I get a warning from avast that it's blocked a malicious page. I haven't used the tablet in ages so I don't know if something's happened to the forum that it's infected or if my tablet (the only one with avast on it) is paranoid
Someone mentioned this in the giveaway thread. So I don't think it's just you. Eta: the giveaway link didn't go to a malicious site, so unsure why the warning. That poster had McAfee.

Apparently there was an issue with Avast thinking all of proboards was a malicious site- it was reported by many forum owners on the support forum.

WittyLittleaggiebug I think having two toddlers is fogging her memories of not wanting time away from your kid. That's what I'm going with, anyway. I figure if we get to January and I'm not ready, I'll either bring Gabe with or let DH take someone else. My sister said "by January he might be weaning anyway!" Not helping!

The problem should be resolved at this point.
Thanks! Wow that was really fast, hadn't even had a chance to report it yet!

I can't wait for this to happen! I have been getting up about 5 times a night because he is stuck on his belly. I think his giant head is preventing him from making it back over.
There's hope for us yet. Jake also has a giant head. It must be a giant head problem! He's since either forgotten or is lazy because he keeps insisting that I roll him back over anyway. Not on, kiddo... not on!!!

Cheap ass mom confession. I'm so sick of spending a) money and b) time shopping for clothes first hand. I saw a 6-9 month pack with everything I need in it on a facebook sharing group and bought that instead. Who's with me in this? Or is it a faux pas? I feel slightly insecure about it...

I'm totally with you! I did get some new stuff at Carter's on clearance, but I've seriously become obsessed with going to garage sales. I like to find good deals. Definitely not a faux pas.

I don't see the problem with this at all. I'm both cheap and lazy.

I haven't bought DS a single item of first-hand clothing, other than the matching shirt/onesie for Father's Day. It's all hand me downs from his cousins. A lot of the clothes came from a family friend's grandson, to nephew#1, to nephew #2, to a friend's son, to us. Everyone adds some clothes along the way; DS has clothes from baby gifts, & my mom took us shopping once for a few boutique type outfits. I've got his too small clothes packaged by age for whomever has the next baby and needs them, hopefully my BFF in Arkansas.
If if we didn't have a built in supply of hand me downs, I would be on swap sites looking. They go through clothes so fast! And especially at this age when they're not very mobile or feeding themselves, clothes don't get worn out the way they do for a crawling or toddling kid.

I am so much faster posting on the app on my phone instead of mobile on my tablet. Probably because I'm so used to the phone keyboard. Almost to 3000 posts tho! That's crazy!
On the topic of clothes, I have stuff in my closet from ages ago. It doesn't fit and hasn't fit in a long time. I don't know why I can't get rid of it. I keep thinking...I will lose the weight. But, if I lose weight, I am definitely getting new (or new-to-me) clothes. Someone help me figure out why it is so hard for me to let this stuff go!!!
Totally understand. I have two dresses that H bought me before we were married. I will never fit into them again. It's a size 0 and won't even go over my hips. I sent them to my mom's because I can't get rid of them yet I can't look longingly at them in my closet anymore.

At least there is sentimental value behind the two dresses. I Have zero excuses.
I don't even think it's the sentimental value. I think it's that they used to look so good and I keep expecting them to look like that again.

Well i'm glad I didn't commit a crime then. There's some really awesome stuff in these bags! All more expensive stuff than I would buy normally and I didn't have to drag Jake working my way through all the stores just thinking how much money I was wasting. Now I can use that money to buy all the nice deco and toys he doesn't need muahahaha!
My closet is a depressing place of shoes I never wore and dresses I wore once, btw. I'll never fit in any of them again I think Unless I get lipo... everywhere.

I'm the same way. I have so much stuff that I've been holding onto in hopes of wearing again. Some even still have tags. I'm to the point where I realize 30-year-old me shouldn't be trying to wear the clothes that 23-year-old me did.
I tried that tactic where you put all the hangers backwards and when you wear it, you put the hanger back the right way. You're supposed to get rid of stuff you haven't worn after 6 months to a year. Yeah, I did that almost 3 years ago and haven't thrown stuff out.
But, I did go through my pants about three months pp and if there was no chance something would ever fit (i.e. would not go over my hips), I took it out. However, those clothes only made it to the spare closet. Whoops. I really just need to go through and see if there is anything to sell and then toss everything else for good.

Do not feel insecure about it. I do not understand people who won't buy used clothes for their kids. I don't care if you want to buy new (and have the money to do it), but there is nothing wrong with used clothes, especially for around the house and play clothes.
Especially when you buy a gray onsie for $1.50 at once upon a child and your child has an epic blow out...no qualms about throwing that $1.50 out.

I'm so cheap, I wouldn't even buy clothes at Once Upon a Child because they were too expensive. I've been hitting up yard sales like crazy. I found 10 onesies the other day for .25 each.

We are having a huge kids consignment sale at the state fairgrounds this weekend. I will be there in full force. I just can't see buying things that are brand new when they don't know or care what they wear and the things they need are so temporary. We have already gotten rid of the swing we bought off of a FB group because he doesn't like it anymore. I bought the swing for $10 instead of spending $100. I got $10 when I sold it. Win-win!

So DH finally had an honest discussion with his mom about his hurt feelings over his sister's wedding and rehearsal dinner. His mom said she wasn't sure of who all would be in the wedding. I think she is trying to not be the one to tell DH that he isn't in it because I call bullshit on not knowing. She is paying for it and has talked about already picking up the bridesmaids' dresses, so she has to know who is in it.
I can't emphasize how much I do love my MIL, but DH's family is one step from being like a Honey Boo Boo style trashy family. She is super nice to me, but I only have to see her a couple of times a year. MIL told DH that his sister originally wanted to have her rehearsal dinner at Taco Bell. WTF!? That right there tells you she is too young to get married. I am just so grateful that as soon as DH graduated HS at the age of 17 he moved 12 hours away from there to go to college and never went back. His family is interesting. That is the nicest thing I can say right now.

DH, DD and I just had a Mario Kart tournament. DS1 is in bed because he has day 3 of driver's ed in the morning at 8. I should feel sorry for him but I don't.

lotsofdotts I'm glad your H got his feelings on the wedding stuff out in the open, even if nothing got resolved or his mom tried to dodge the hard conversation. At least he's said his piece to his mom.

Has anyone given their littles the baby mum mum crackers? I gave them to my daughter but I'm not sure if 5 months is too early for them? She's 3 next month and I just can't remember when I gave them. I think he could do it, everything is ending up in his mouth and I'm thinking of starting solids anyway.
