WE randoms

Yeah, budders, from what I know, 7-10 months is "average" for crawling. 6 months is early. Way to be a Debbie downer!

Making SO go to Trader Joe's with me... There shouldn't be too much complaining right??

Good luck. I've gotten to the point where I would literally rather not eat for a week than take DH grocery shopping with me. He thinks shopping should be like supermarket sweep, where you just run down the aisles, throw random boxes in your cart, and hope for the best. He gets frustrated when I do silly things like look at prices or compare ingredients in something.

[erbear]

My H never goes grocery shopping. On the VERY rare occasions he does go, we come home with so much random crap. Once, I got him to go to Aldi with me and we came home with a chocolate fountain.

[jillywilly]

budders, I'm sorry your sister was a Debbie downer. It's totally normal to be excited about kids hitting milestones, no matter when it is.
Unrelated, but kind of related, we had dinner with dh's family last night. He was babbling away and "walking" around the living room while we were holding his arms. His 95 year old grandma kept talking about how he was talking and walking all over, so I know tomorrow when she's back at her retirement home, she's going to be bragging about her super advanced 7 month old great grandson who's walking and talking.

budders that's really annoying, I'd be a irritated with that convo too.

I'm having an emotional, over proud mom morning. We are currently headed to the city for DS's NICU fundraiser pictures and my stomach just keeps flipping with memories and looking at him now all dressed up and happy!
poof

tiffbot he is so adorable.

I'm Ron Swanson. This pleases me.

Also, it just took me five attempts to get DS down for his morning nap. Too early for booze?

It took me 45 minutes to get O down. Maybe I'll add booze to my coffee because then it's a brunch beverage?

Quoting myself because the nap lasted 35 minutes. Efffffff.

Ffsc: I never go grocery shopping. That's H's job. The last time I went was when I was 9 months pregnant and I didn't know what kind of snacks I wanted. He got so frustrated because I just kind of wandered slowly around looking at everything. I hadn't actually been in a grocery store in a really long time, so I had to see what was there. I think he ended up abandoning me in front of the cereal so that he could finish up all the regular shopping. I'm not allowed to go anymore.

budders Not cool budders sis, not cool.

Speaking of twatty behavior - last night I mentioned during dinner that DS (4) needed to go to bed on time b/c he went to bed so late the night before. BIL's GF disappears around 8:00 last night and as I was getting DS upstairs to get ready for bed realize that she has decided to take a 'nap' in his bed. WTF? You live 5 mins. away from MIL - go home if you're tired. Not only did she take over his room, she selected the unmade twin bed that DS had clearly slept in rather than the made bed. She had complainer earlier of feeling sick and then decides to sleep on his pillow? So weird to me. I wasn't in the mood, so I turned the light on to get his pjs out of the room, but she still didn't budge. I didn't want to put him in our room cause DD was sleeping in there. She finally got out of there
around 9:15. And she drooled on his pillow.

My first thought before I finished reading was is she pregnant? But then when you said she is sick and slept in your kids bed...DA FUQ?? I would be pissed!!

+1 to pretty much all of this. I make him a list or we order online. He doesn't like me wandering. He also says I cross back and forth through the store too many times because he knows where everything is.

T has a tooth. Her first one!!! Explains all the super fussy, majorly clingy behavior lately. Poor love. I've been checking her mouth and felt nothing...until this morning. I felt the tiny prick of a mini-fang poking through lol.

Our morning nap lasted about 30. He just went down for the afternoon nap, and I'm praying it goes better, because I do not want to take a cranky, tired mess to the Super Bowl party later. Either way, I foresee drinks in my evening tonight. Hope the rest of your day/baby napping improves too!

Ugh V's cold keeps getting worse and now he's running a low grade fever. What do you think is the cutoff for daycare? I know for school is 101, we're holding steady at 100 right now.

I think our day care has a 101 cutoff. Hope it comes down overnight though and he's feeling better tomorrow!

[littlemissgrump]

I got Chris, Chris Traeger. That is literally the best choice. Ever.

We also took the quiz for LO and he got Little Sebastian which is so adorable! Lol!

DH to me: He (A) is admiring my face. With his nails.

[purple]

Much sympathy to those of you with annoying relatives, babies who won't nap, and any other ongoing annoyance.

We've had a lovely weekend. Well, mostly. I could always do without AF, especially coming at the end of a fortnight of being unwell, but it's minor in the grand scheme of things.

Two big pieces of news: L and I are going to be able to go back to our usual schedule of classes and groups tomorrow. Okay, that's probably only big for us, but it will make the days so much easier! Even more importantly, Laura took her first (backwards) crawling steps this afternoon! She's so obsessed with standing up and walking that I didn't think she'd bother with crawling.

[Bluedaisy]

Pretty quiet weekend around here. Had some friends over for supper and games. LO is now rolling in the crib so I installed his mesh bumper and I finished two playmat sewing projects.

[wegrowsheep]

Hanging out at IL's. People coming over to watch game, DH already made our salsa verde contribution to the taco bar. He is on Thor duty while I take a moment to knit.
Germaphobe SIL not coming.
Win.

[jessila]

Nap 2 went better because DH let me put him in the swing. Nap 3 is currently happening on me. I kind of love nap jail now because it's so rare.
At BIL & SIL's for the game...after O wakes up.

[wegrowsheep]

Big kids made forts. DD has a "factory that makes bread and cupcakes" and DS1 is "mixing drinks."

So proud. They obviously love me.

Amazing. You've trained them well. I plan to follow in your footsteps in raising my children.
I feel like @jemomma would have a similar training technique.

[alayne926]

Ugh...S has been a fussy snotty mess today. I really hope like 4 teeth pop through. I feel like this kid has been teething for months!

DH is working nights this week, so he's downstairs napping while I am entertaining the kids and trying to make dinner.

Definitely earned a drink or two tonight!

[gilder40]

AW: Happy Mardi Gras!! Some photos from the children's parade today. Bonus for having a baby....you get lots of beads and stuffed animals. Lol.

[beersandweirs]

Waiting for baby to wake up so we can go to our friend's super bowl party. It's unusual to be hoping for nap time to end.

[erbear]

Drinking time!

[erbear]

Also, that was a commercial. I'm watching the SB.

[holliberry28]

I'm here. Drinking 3rd day in a row. M was super fussy today. Solid food isn't agreeing with him, he had hard poops 5x today. And teething forever with nothing to show for it.

Saw my sister two days in a row. I want to cry every time I see her. Yesterday she's trying to school me that I should force him to hold his bottle. No, b*tch, he's not there yet. He only cares to drop things or pinch them.

Today she came over w her friend to meet the baby... Long overdue and he decided to cry the whole
Time and it's my fault bc I trained him to be too attached. So sick and tired of her judgement.

She's letting my 15 year old niece sleep over her friends house ( bc NYC schools are now closed for Chinese New Year). Way to go sis, let her get drunk again, because you know that's what's happening.

I need to be better on going on here but I don't know how to juggle being with baby and TCF. So much easier at work.

Hope everyone else had a better weekend than me! Have fun whoever is having super bowl get togethers.
