queen--i love eva's chubby pics! how much does she weigh??? zenon is 21 lbs now and looking pretty rolly polly-- although his arms are nothing like eva's. (but his legs make up for it! ) i'll have to get around to taking a good picture of his heftiness and posting it.

ultserj---so it must be a 3-4 yo control thing?! refusing the costumes!

No one came trick or treating at our house... we live too far away from people So Savannah just had her face painted with momma's makeup for fun.

Also, one from today. I wanted to make sure I got another gummy smile before that tooth shows up in pictures. Too bad it was blurry I'll keep trying

hey mamas of April 07 babies! I hope its not too late to join you guys. I've been a lurker last month and hoping to post more here and getting to know more of you guys.

my DS2 kinda missed the sitting stage and went to the crawling stage already, he just recently started sitting up for a short period of time. I started feeding a little solids now every other day, he's not too interested in it yet. He does have 1 teeth though, we just passed the teething no sleep phase.

It's very tiring at home with a toddler and baby, I still feel bad that I can't give 100% undivided attention to either of my boys.

I love my boys though, I wouldn't trade anything but being home with them. DS1 is the active outgoing one who can't stay still, and DS2 is the mellow calm and introverted one who gets shoved around by his big bro.

Hope to get to know you guys more!

OMGosh!! All these pics!! I LOVE the lobster!! I can't believe it's November already!!

Hannah's been doing this insane trick where she goes down at 8PM, then wakes up at 9 and STAYS UP till 12:30 EVERY STINKING NIGHT!!! Yesterday, we were up at 5:30AM, got 2 20 minute naps, and then stayed up till 11:00PM!! Needless to say, I kept her up when she wanted to sleep this evening!! I'm just DONE with that!! She hasn't woken up yet, so I have to get to bed soon so she hopefully will just roll over, nurse and go back to sleep when she finally does. I just wanted to check in with you mamas, and let you all know that:

I AM OFFICIALLY GOING TO BE A MILK DONOR!!!! I'm so excited! My supply drop last month was a false scare...I replaced the flanges on my pump, and my supply is better than ever! A mama in need sent out the call, and I'm so happy that I can help her out!!

[kewpie-o]

Thanks queenofmycastle, for the encouragement. Yeah, the more I think of it, I don't think it's a supply issue because I have been noticing big wet spots on the sheets by her face after she nurses to sleep sometimes - I think she is sucking and then letting the milk run out of her mouth intentionally. Smart little booger! I guess her sleep boycotting/fussiness is just teething. Her bottom front two are poking out pretty far now and I could've sworn today that I saw a little white corner popping through on the top. Is that possible?? :

Welcome, Nonny! Wow - crawling! I bet you really do have your hands full. All you mommas who have toddlers and babies amaze me. I think I've said that before, but you really do. I feel so busy with just one!

Ultimatserj - I dunno what a death eater is, but it sounds cool and interesting. LOL

I put Scout in a humpty dumpty costume for about 2.5 seconds just to take a few pics. She's not a huge fan of getting dressed/undressed and sometimes makes a stink when I put a hat or hood on her head, so I wasn't sure how the costume would go over. I think she actually liked it for a few minutes....but then got cranky. We didn't have anywhere to go for Halloween, but I figured it would be sad if she didn't have any documentation of her first Halloween.

One-armed Humpty

The happiness before the meltdown

firstimepreg - that's awesome! what a wonderful gift you are giving that baby and momma!

LilMomma83: love the pumpkin pic!


Welcome Nonny! Come and post! I think it will get easier with your 2 boys once the baby is able to play more with his older brother. They'll do things together. In the meanwhile: hugs!

Firsttimepreggers: how often do you have to replace the phlanges? Is that the white piece?

I need to shower. I'll be back when I'm pumping at work.

yeah that

Scout has been saying "Momm-mommm-mom-momm-mom" constantly for the past week. I know she doesn't know what it means, but it sure is cute. :

[mclisa]

Scout! What an awesome costume! And babies are smarter than you think, so don't discredit her with the mama chatter. She knows what it means.

I'm trying to teach S "dada" so she knows who to ask for when poopy!

So I'm pumping in my office and I can hear my secretary talking to one of the business managers. She's telling him that I'm here, but he might want to wait to go in.

I am roughly 2 minutes away from Shady Grove Hospital! What about u guys? yay for more moms in MD!

[Debstmomy]

First that is great! I am so grateful to my milk mamas! I had 5 at one point, now I only have 1. But some BM is better than none!
Abby sat unassited last night. I can not believe she will be 7 months this month. WAAAAAA! She is also talking, ALOT! It makes my heart melt with all the chatter.

I didn't know you use donated mommy milk! That is so awesome! Are they people you know IRL, or do you go through a bank?

[tabrizia]

Can I join in as well? DS is almost 7 months now and has just started cruising, which is kind of scary, I am not ready for a walker yet. He is getting better at standing and maybe standing without support any day now, eek!

It is fun to watch him change and grow daily as he figures things out. I will admit that I am hoping he goes back to his old sleeping schedule of sleeping for 12 hour stretches soon, at the moment he is awake every 2 hours or so.

welcome all the newcomers, and those returning

Gianna has been losing her socks constantly this week, and I finally realized it's because they are TOO SMALL........ They are 6-12 month size...she will just be turning 6 months tomorrow. She has DH's big feet.

My MIL is slightly stressing me out--she keeps asking how G's "sitting" is going. I'm like...she's not even 6 months yet..leave her alone. I feel so self-concious b/c I know that my MIL thinks we hold G too much etc etc and that she won't develop properly. I know my MIL means well but it just adds more worry to my life, and I def don't need that! Motherhood brings enough worries on its own without having someone else adding to it!
