She's had - avocado, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peach slices, peas and banana. Some BLW some purees. Also oatmeal mixed with breastmilk once in a while. Most recent was peas at dinner last night.

I know bananas can cause constipation in babies maybe that is it. I think AppropriateChocolate discovered that issue? 

I don't know how much banana she actually swallowed. I think more ended up in her hair and on the dog lol.

I'll give her a peach slice again, that should clear things up.

Just want to recommend Jillian michaels 30 day shred video for any mamas who work out at home and need something quick and tough. Only 20 mins so totally manageable with a baby or before/after work. I am sweating bullets but it wasn't so hard that I was frustrated.

Thanks! I was looking for something like this DH leaves as soon as I come home from work to teach so I never have time to go to the gym or go for a run lately, and most home exercise programmes make me gag because they're either for old people or super fit people will look it up!

The damn raccoons got into our trash last night and DH was already running late so he just left it all over the yard. I just spent 20mins cleaning up week old trash all over the driveway. Our trash pick up is tomorrow so we had 2 very full bags in there. Ugh not how I wanted to start my day.

[dreemkin]

Nothing exciting today except that it's hotdog day at work for an end of summer celebration. I can't wait to eat all the food.

I've done the 30DS several times now. It really does work, when you stick with it.

Got my flabby behind in shape before my wedding, after DS and right before getting PG with DD. Now I need to find time to do it again.

Do you do it every day?

I did 3 days on, 1 day off.

I've got a good friend who's thinking of going to the big medieval re-enactment war that we would meet up at next year. She hasn't been for 5 years and I haven't been for 4. I'm thinking of going and taking G, so today I'm starting to spiral on clothing for him. I'd probably make him some Viking stuff so that I could put longship cutouts on a wagon to take him around. He'd be 17 months and could totally do at least a week 'camping' in PA. Plus, a few other friends are coming out of the woodwork, so it would be a great reunion.

Any BF'ers that have started solids: has LO's poop changed at all?
DD had a seriously hard poo this morning. I found that odd because she hasn't had much for solids - once a day for a couple of weeks, but not even that much.

Yes. They have definitely been more paste like. A few times she has struggled a bit to get it out and the poo was harder. Dr had mentioned that if it was an issue to add more milk or water to thin out the purée.

I just saw that DS's bouncer only goes up to 20lbs, don't think he's up to that weight yet but I guess it's time to start looking for the next thing to prop him in. He doesn't like his bumbo. What are you guys putting your LOs in to sit?

[lilyelayne]

Just remembered I got DS a jumperoo at the consignment sale I went to just before our trip! Can't wait for him to try it out this evening when DH is home to see!

High chair. Or just on his playmat on the floor where it'll be okay if he tumbles (though a parent is always sitting nearby).

Eta: we were gifted this high chair from our Target registry: Graco Duodiner 3-in-1 Highchair San Marino Collection www.amazon.com/dp/B00OJPHCWQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_KFHYvbE7KE9TA

Aaaaaah I hadn't thought of a high chair. We have the cheap one from Ikea (from pre-baby time for when my nephew came to visit) so been thinking to get a better one anyway. Jake's too cool for developmental things like sitting or rolling from tummy to back. He has servants to do that kind of stuff for him so definitely need a chair of some sort.

[miniwheat]

I AM SO HAPPY!
6 month appt went well... but we finally FINALLY got a referral for DS's Plagiocephaly!!!
I didn't know how heavy this was on me until we finally got our Dr on board!

We have that high chair too. She loves it

[aggiebug]

miniwheat I am glad that stress has been lifted and you can get it taken care of and that the appointment went well

[cloe111479]

We have an activity center thing, and a hand me down walker that we use sometimes.

Also she entertains herself in the pack and play well

But her favorite thing is totally the floor on the rug in her room

Oh!!!! We totally army crawled on Sunday to get to a toy! I forgot to post it. look out she's mobile guys (when motivated....)

[pitdigger]

I have the Fischer-Price Newborn to Toddler Rocker for G. He's not in it much because he'll sit with us and he's way more interested in rolling everywhere and trying to get up and crawl. He grabs the blanket I set down for extra room/padding for the floor when he rolls to give his head more padding on the tile.

Yes, the poops are not hard bunny bullets but, it's a thick paste. DS eats 2-3 ice cubes of fruits and veggies every day and some oatmeal.

Thanks, everyone. The therapist completed the form and indicated that PPA did prohibit me from working, so I will get paid for the second half of my maternity leave. I know that is what insurance is for but it feels weird attaching money to postpartum issues.

I'm trying to catch up on spam, but my phone is at 2%. I'll be back when it charges.

mommadozer, so helpful!

I never have to work hard to convince H that we need some kind of new gadget. He sells IT....so it is a little too easy for him to order us up something new

I want one mainly to have something in between my big DSLR and Iphone that is portable. I also want it for videos, specifically.

Do you ever take yours in water?

Yes, DH submerges his in water all of the time. The dog wears it duck hunting and in the swimming pool. Definitely buy the waterproof case before dunking it in the water.

[aggiebug]

lotsofdotts I am glad it is taken care of. I know it feels weird "asking" for money, but you earned it just in a different way.

Im really glad that is sorted out. You deserve to be paid out. Being a mom is a full time job. Being a mom with ppa/ppd is a double job.

My sleepy little squish is now a grumpy, teething six-month-old. So much love.

Finally, after a week of DS being sick, running a fever off and on and taking him to the doctor twice in three days, he was diagnosed with a viral eye infection. I feel better that we found out what is wrong, but feel bad that I didn't push harder, earlier, for an answer. And, naturally, I woke up in the night with a fever of my own. Ugh. I'm hoping it's not an eye infection because the doctor said it would be even worse for us if we got it :/
It's turning out to be a fabulous week

I'm so sorry! DS had that shen he was 2 weeks old. With the antibiotics it cleared up really quickly but also for us it took two or three pedi visits to diagnose. Hope everyone is clear soon!

[aggiebug]

mamabutt2 ugh that sounds exhausting. I hope you don't get it and everything goes up from here.

@holachica hugs! It's a tough day.
