belle0720 , I would just send things like cucumber spears, zucchini/squash spears, big carrots, bell pepper, etc. All of those things are good non-chokey snacks that I have been giving LO. Once you start getting a little less worried about extra salt/sugar (which you will, hate to tell ya) there are some good whole wheat crackers and things you can buy. The mum mums aren't really a snack of nutritional value, it's more just for fun.
ETA: I give LO mum mums, not knocking them!
I'm not terribly worried about salt and sugar, I know that she'll be eating ice cream and pizza one day, but I'm trying to steer clear of it when I can. One of her favorite things she has eaten is beef stew meat that absolutely had salt in it. I'm hoping to try and foster a love of whole foods in her right off the bat and not feed her too much processed stuff. That being said, I don't just want to be feeding her solids at dinner and on weekends so I'd love to find an easy snack to throw in the diaper bag that whoever is watching her can give her. I'm probably putting way too much thought into it, but you know...first time mom over here! lol
@littlechivette Our pediatrician recommended waiting until 6 months to feed anything but breastmilk or formula. At 6 months she was thrilled that we'd waited on solids. I told her that I wanted to skip cereal and purees and do baby led weaning and she was totally supportive. The only thing she said was to make sure LO was getting enough iron.
Anyone else going through and getting rid of baby things? Cue all the tears...but yay for making some $ back and getting rid of things! Then I can buy more things, right?

Whew, finally got through to the end! I'm in the camp of @jemomma (hopefully I remembered the right person), I do what works best for us and let everyone else do what works for them. I only side-eye some things but I live in Portland and there are some very special parenting things going on here.
Today H was home during lunch and the baby was climbing all over me and wouldn't let me be more than 7.33 in away from him at any given time. I mentioned how this is our life everyday all day while he's at work and how is overwhelming sometimes. He said, "yeah, that's how it was last night (while I was away) except when I was taking a nap." Um, I was gone for 3 hours, let's not pretend that's the same and lol at napping...while the baby was awake none the less! Ooof!
I was receiving a lot of complaints that liz lemon was gone...had to bring her back Sorry michyme123 , i should have consulted you first, I know you hate the changes Apologies
alright, alright. I will pretend I know what the hell you are talking about. Liz lemon?! I need to google later lol (if it's in this thread I haven't read it all yet will later though haha)
Say what?! You don't know who Liz Lemon is?!
Sorry, I get passionate about my Tina Fey characters.
I swear, if i have to listen to another episode of little house on the prairie, i may go postal.
Why are you being forced to listen to little house on the prairie? And why aren't you enjoying it? Love the Ingalls and Walnut Grove!
Never loved the show, but I did read the books and actually went to Walnut Grove and saw the site of the dugout they lived in (on the banks of Plum Creek). It had caved in like a year or so before, but it was still cool to see everything they had around there. Not important, but I thought I'd share since I'd completely forgotten about that!
Kristykristyleelee oh good. It's so user friendly. I love all the notes they have regarding comps, schools, next open house. Good luck finding your home! We will be looking to buy a house in the next few months too
Are you still looking to move to Canada? And if so, do you have family/friends there? Asking because I've always wanted to pick up and move out of NYC (Never lived anywhere else) but find it so difficult between family/friends and work.
I'll definitely look at Redfin, we only used Weichert, before.
Yes we are. Mid February we are driving up there. My husband was born in Montreal and he used to live in Toronto so we are free to live there. His step mom and step sister live in Vancouver. Most of my friends live in Vancouver but after doing research we saw the home prices there are really out of our range. We are looking at a smaller town in BC that has more affordable homes.
The boss man, it's what he likes to keep our waiting room TV on since it's family friendly.
I spent my childhood reading the Laura Ingalls box set over and over during family road trips but I would poke myself in the eye with a pencil if I had to watch that shit on repeat all day at work.

This is what I keep in the diaper bag. Both kids love them.

Today I had an ocular migraine for the first time. I was sitting with a little girl and she kept playing "made you look" and I thought I was seeing spots from looking up towards the lights. But when I stood up I almost had tunnel vision and the sides were all swirly and light. It was fucking scary. I grabbed the first teacher I saw and she talked me down and told me to eat/drink. It helped and it went away 10 minutes later...
Other than that, it snowed a ton, fighting with DH as per usual, and DB has been crying for 20+ minutes to go to sleep, which he hasn't done in over a month. I'm going to have a second ice cream sandwich, ignore the diet thread another day, and go to bed.
I did catch up on your posts for the most part.. sounds like a lot of people having a rough day! sorry ladies.
I got it for a year and I never LOVED it. Now I have so many samples all over my house. I liked ipsy a bit better but same thing, never LOVED what I got. I kept getting red lip stuff and I'm not a red lip girl.

American here that has never watched 30 Rock. I live under a rock, I know.
I drove DS1 to his dentist appt for his first fillings (he needs 2). Regardless of how many times I talked him through, he threw an epic fit in the waiting room. Scared to death that it might hurt. I carried his screaming butt into the treatment area and told him he didn't have to have a filling today, but that he could see all the special tools they use. He liked that (he's a tool guy). He calmed down and was happy. We an appt for next week. We left. Then they called me 15 minutes later to say they were giving me the number of a specialist that'll knock him out (my words) and do the fillings, because the dentist there won't do them because he doesn't think DS1 can be calm enough for it. It pisses me off that they won't at least try, because it's really important to me that he learns to work out his fears. Then I cheated on my healthy eating and got a tall chai at Starbucks, which the gentleman in front of me paid for. I was so happy I cried.

That sounds like no fun. Fx your H sees the proverbial light?
So I've never been one to interact with trolls on social media, but our local news station reposted a picture of my daughter (wearing a Warriors outfit because we went to the game last night) and a few people commented on it calling her a bandwagoner LOL. The mom in me couldn't NOT say something back so I called them haters and gave them an eye roll emoji. One of them just called me dumb as a washing machine. hahaha I couldn't help but laugh.

I had one about a year ago. I was convinced my retina was detaching and was super freaked out. Sorry you had to experience one today!
