My kid shows no desire to crawl. If I lay her on her stomach, she flips back over. All she wants to do is stand. All the time. Every time I try to sit her on the floor, put her in her car seat, lay her down...she puts her legs down and pushes until she is standing with support. But she doesn't know how to pull up yet. She's getting so aggravated because she wants to move!
I think mine finally wants to, because he's forever flipping to his tummy, but then gets sooooo pissed when he doesn't move, or just goes backwards. He just pounds his arms and legs. He's sloooooowly figuring out the pushing to knees thing, but mostly he just has a fit on the floor. I actually found the perfect gif of how he looks:
Off work, snow day. DH has been incredibly lazy today but LO has been asleep for the last 3 hours so i was able to get some online shopping done. Unfortunately im going to have to wake LO up soon.
My credit card number has been stolen a few times. A $3k spending spree sounds like the credit card company didnt catch it quick enough. Ours usually catches it only after a few hundred.
mrsmonogrammed, when DH got a chip card he called the bank and said to send him a strip card. He says the chip ones are less safe here than they are in Europe. I trust him because he does his research on strange things.
Kristykristyleelee, did you find a house?! Did I miss this? I was thinking about it last night before I went to sleep...which sounds creepy but I promise it isn't.
O and I made it to the furniture store. I found a few sets I liked and got information on them. Information has been sent along to DH who, I think, is going after work tonight. I don't really want to have to drag O back out in the yucky weather. But if DH wants us to meet him so we can discuss in person I'm willing to go.
DH and I had our first real argument about parenting this morning. It resolved quickly because we don't drag things out. I've become more neurotic about O since my dad died. I guess I want control over something? It's led to O sleeping in the swing...again. And I won't really even let him fuss. I made a snide remark about how I solo parent at night bc DH takes for-fucking-ever to get out of bed. The man is not functional if he is sleeping. So I said I wouldn't let O sleep in the swing anymore. Except he's currently napping there because yesterday he napped for a total of 60 minutes (3 20 minute naps) which led to a craptastic night. DH said he'll help however he can at night. We'll see how that goes.
Another conversation this weekend was DH encouraging me to try cross-fit because I like group oriented exercise. He also mentioned you ladies because "Your group of online friends has been really good for you. They're always encouraging you and teaching you new things. I think that you would benefit from a group environment for working out." Guess I'll have to stop talking about you all because you're going to make me have to go to the gym or something.
Off to do some chores because they were neglected this weekend.
Whenever I ask what she wants for dinner, the answer is always tacos.
I see no problem here...
I wish mine would say tacos. Or ANYTHING. So helpful. I get "whatever you want to make". Bad answer, dumbdumb, cause my smart ass is gonna make what I want to, which is nothing!

Mine wants to go out or get delivery every night. Dude we just bought a ton of groceries and you're going to let them go to waste.
@jemomma I haven't done that kind of self-inflicted torture in a couple years. At this point, I'd rather die.
Same. The last suit I bought was a string bikini before I got pregnant with my first. We are going on a "vacation" which will require me to wear a bathing suit, so it was unavoidable. My first "mom suit." Sigh.
I also own my first "mom suit" (sad face) and while it's weird at first, they've definitely come a long way from the ones I remember my mom wearing when I was young! Thanks to LO's swim lessons that started last month I've come to accept my mom-suit fate

We put a major squash on all the delivery ordering because we were going broke and couldn't justify wasting the money all the time, but we used to be so bad about it.

One of mine and DH's very first married "fights" was over him asking "so what are you going to make for dinner tonight?". Um, that's a great way to start having to make yourself dinner, DH!
I told him I was tired of picking all the time and I needed ideas of what he was feeling that week. So now I get "do you have any thoughts on dinner?". Yes, yes I do, DH. I think I'd like to eat dinner tonight. Is that what you meant? -__-

Our PT works on this with Oscar. She focuses on going from sitting to crawling position way more than just putting him on his stomach. She puts toys just out of his reach. First he got comfortable leaning really far forward (and to the side) and sitting back up. Then she pushed it further so he has to put one arm down and reach with the other one. He naturally started rocking almost onto all fours after this. Now he does that all on his own. He get his feet stuck underneath him, but then he just plops forward onto his belly. Now that he's going on his belly on his OWN he is much happier there.
And seriously we had a HUGE jump over the last week so remember it can happen quickly once it starts happening!
gilder40 V is not crawling either ( at 8.5 months). She pushes up very tall on her hands and you think she is about to move her knees up, but she rocks side to side, and even scoots backwards on her belly. Sometimes she brings her knees in but not enough to be on all fours. It's like she has all the motions but can't put them together. I've been standing her up with support and she loves that too. I'm going to try what carolyngrace , posted and see if that helps her get to all fours.
budders, was it you that posted the stroganoff recipe? I'm too lazy to go look. It sounded fantastic, and I now want to make it!! Do you put the noodles in with the meat?
Joolschweets I just got done going for a walk at the park with the tiny human, then I fed said tiny human. I'll be on again in a bit after I get us ready for bed.
There should be free ice cream delivery for all women while they have their period. This is bs.
DH is always yammering on about wanting to start a business. When I was pregnant I tried convincing him to start a delivery service for anything. He could have made thousands just off me, but he refused to believe this was a good idea. I still think this is a necessary business. I'd totally order some donuts right now if they'd come to my front door.
Watching the Grammy's as well. The WeekEnd has such an amazing voice !
Going to strongly disagree here. I love his singles, but I have NO idea why people were standing up and applauding that. It sounded like he was singing into a fan.

Joolschweets yes to drinking, just this one beer I though and then I'm going to bed. I was legitimately hung the eff over for the first time in a looong time yesterday. Was having such a fun party with SOs family Saturday, when I heard the news of my brother I just took the drinking next level, then didn't sleep at all that night. I've got my sisters 3 kids tomorrow, my family is all over the plce right now. Its been a weird few days.

+ however many. Mine has been obsessed with standing since she was five months old. She's just started holding objects instead of our hands, so I think cruising isn't far away. But she still flops onto her tummy and waves her legs pathetically in the air.
Poor baby has a streaming cold so isn't sleeping all that well. We can't use a nose frida: it works, but she screams and sobs for about 45 minutes afterwards, and ends up just as snotty from crying as she was from the cold. I have a feeling that the rest of tonight will be interesting...

We just got back from dinner at my family's house and I'm now nursing Jules to sleep. Is anyone else finding it hard to keep up with feeding solids and BM/Formula? I realized I didn't nurse her since 330/4 and now it's 9. She usually nurses ever 2-3 hours. Oh well she got potatoes and asparagus she wasn't starving.
Still watching Scandal over here and just had a cryfest over it. This so is so intense.
Oh my gawd, now I want beef stroganoff and Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. I'm so hungry.
Add me to the list of SOs that are picky AF about what they eat. My H doesn't like: -Vegetables or fruits of any kind -Tomatoes and onions are an absolute no. Not even salsa or chilli -Red sauce - so no pizza or spaghetti unless Alfredo sauce -Cinnamon - not even cinnamon rolls -You could not pay him enough to eat a salad
It is so hard to cook for him. And even harder to eat healthy when trying to make things that he will like.

SO is so picky I usually make two dinners or end up letting him get take out. It's too hard.
I wish there was a way we could all play cards against humanity together. That would be hilarious!
There is! Sort of. It's an app called Evil Apples. We play with our friends. I'm not sure how we would find each other without revealing a bunch of personal info. I can't remember how we found our friends....maybe through Facebook?
