Nov/Dec 2003 November Thread! Our babies are turning One!

[WickidaWitch]

Birthday month!!!!!!!!

[3 Little Monkeys]

Oh my, I'm SO not ready for this!! I get all teary just thinking about it!

We spent all day yesterday up in the mountains playing in the snow. Jessica had such a great time! She loves to be outside, and had an absolute blast watching the sledding and snowball fights. We were up there too long though and hit a horribly thick patch of fog while coming down the mountain. It was a narrow winding dirt road and the fog was so thick you couldn't see much more than 5 to 10 feet in front of the truck. It was pretty scary. We stopped for pizza and to calm down when we got off the mountain so it was too late to take the girls out by the time we got home. We live in a very rural area though so there are never any kids going door to door anyway. I'm going to dress them up today though and take pictures since I missed it last night.

Time to feed the munchkin - oh, and I think we should keep our thread in the baby forum until after everyone has turned 1. How does that sound??

That's a good idea. That gives me an extra month of babyhood!

Ok, so who all is having more kids and who is done? I know about a few of you... I just don't know. I would love another, but sometimes it's overwhelming with the three I have! Thinking of giving the baby stuff away makes me weepy, though... It took 2 years to get pregnant with Iris, not sure I can go through that again, especially at my age...

No i'm not in the UP, I'm exactly on point au gres on lake huron, (the bouy that marks the point is literally in front of the house). its nice here, just cold, LOL. We missed the leaves change, but I dont care. i want to see snow!! LOL. I have never seen snow before. Also, FIL showed us some pictures of ice flows on the lake and I really want to see that too.

I have so much to do. I have to get all our stuff transferred from FL to MI, like licenses, insurance, etc.

ttfn

[CajunMama]

WOW- I cant believe that we are here already!!!

CHristy- Hooray for MI No more evil MIL! I've never seen snow either. Weird huh.

sagewinna- we plan on having more, since Evan is our first. I think a 2 1/2 to 3 year period would be good. I am starting to get the "baby fever" though, so who knows. :LOL I would like for DS to be out of diapers before we have another.

So- what is everyone planning for 1st B-day parties? are you doing the whole cake thing? Presents? I just don't know what I want to do....

I prefer that we keep our threads in the baby forum until the babes have turned 20 (since I'll be in denial until then), but that's just me

Btw, I'm certainly not done having babies... I want to have 3-5 and then adopt some when I get older. I love children. I um kinda need to find a man to help me out with having more babies, though. Can't do it alone. lol.

[CajunMama]

I'm with you Shannon- let's keep this in the Life with a Babe until they kick us out :LOL

[Star]

Hmm, do you think we'd get away with it? Maybe nobody will even notice! :LOL I vote for staying in the babe forum until we get kicked out. hehe

Even though I was the one to point out that they're toddlers, that doesn't mean I want them to be toddlers! lol I think I'll cry if I see our thread in the toddler forum.

[3 Little Monkeys]

Shannon~ you'll find someone, I did

As far as having more - I really want to have another, then I'll have a day when Danielle is being a totally three yr old terror and Jessica is teething and cranky and I ask myself what in the world I'm thinking :LOL But I've already started thinking about when I want to start trying - I'm thinking we'll start in May - wow, that's only 6 months away! I've also thought of being a foster parent, but we need a bigger house first! If we do get pregnant, then I'll be able to get the second story on this house like I want - or we'll move, which would not be a bad thing considering my in laws live less than a half mile away....

Liz~ I'm with you, let's stay here until they kick us out :LOL

[WickidaWitch]

I like Evan's costume -
I'll add one later today. My sis took all the pics last night. You'll get to see one of all of us. She was mrs. potts from beauty and the beast. She was a hit. No one cared about my costume

[CajunMama]

Oh Tammi- WE care about your costume!! I loved your udders!!! I can't wait to see a pic of all y'all together!!!!!

[momof3cutekids]

subscribing...will post more later when I have more time

[Star]

Awe, Liz, Evan looks so cute! I love that one of him up in the air.

Thanks, Sherri - I really hope to find someone soon, because I'm already craving another baby LOL.

Tammi, I care about your costume too!

My peanut did pretty good last night. She didn't get scared at any costumes, and we sat outside while Nana handed out treats - DD was a hit with all the kiddos (some wouldnt leave lol).

Here's DD in her outfit:

She was supposed to be a fairy, but she couldn't crawl in the dress, so I went and picked out this outfit. I have no clue what it is - I think it's a dog? It wasn't even in the Halloween section - it is a sleeper, so I can keep re-using it

sage said "baby" and "sock" for the first time today. FIL's DW wrapped up sage's monkey in a cpf and said, "here's your baby..." and sage looked at it and said "baby" just as plain as day then i was folding laundry and said "sock" b/c she pulled off her sock, and she said, "SOCK!" then i asked her "where's your sock?" and she held it up, waved it at me and said "sock." I can't beleive it. that was the first time we ever tried to get her to associate something with it's name, and she got it on the first try. where did my baby go?

Cute pictures everyone. I haven't even downloaded our pics yet off the camera. been busy all day. there's a candy shop right down the street...I've been there 2 days in a row, lol. they have great truffles, LOL!!!

have a good night

ps, i also vote that we stay in LWAB until we get evicted, lol.

[beanma]

hey y'all,

i agree -- no moving until they're all 20 or maybe until they're all walking/toddling at least...

my little butterbean is walking and talking up a storm. the walking thing is very different from her big sister who didn't walk until she was 17.5 mo. they're both big talkers, though. i think little bit is gonna be like big sister and have a thing for shoes, though. she's already starting with it! crazy baby!

well, y'all all go vote tomorrow if you haven't already! may the best man win!!

Ok, I heard somewhere that they are toddlers from 9-36 months!

I think that's ridiculous, of course. They might very well be toddlers, Emily is still my little baby. Katie is still my little baby, even though she keeps telling me she's not a little baby anymore, she's a big kid.

Emily picked up two new words today. She was pointing at the dog and I asked her if that was the doggy, and she very firmly said, "dog". Later Katie and Grandma were playing with a ball. Emily started crawling after it, unnoticed by grandma and Katie. Poor baby was crawling back and forth for this darn ball. She finally started crying and crawled over to me. I was doing some work on the computer at the time and was unaware of what was going on. I picked her up and she turned herself around and pointed to Grandma and Katie playing. I asked her if she wanted a ball. She smiled huge. I picked up a couple of balls and put her in front of them. She started playing with them, and in a satisfied voice, said, "ball."

This seems pretty precocious, though. I mean, are they supposed to have 6 words at 10.5 months? It's a little frightening. I think Katie had 2. I think she was saying "Mama," and "Quack". Goes to show you where that kid's priorities were. I think DH was a little disgruntled to be playing second fiddle to "Quack".
