Super baby??

Cambury108

Yeah Raylin is still "fuzzy" she is fuzzy enough that my best friend calls her Peaches. I think its cute. I think it depends on how hairy you and DH are. All of my kids have been hairy but DH is like a chimp!! My kids right after birth could have passed for small monkey's!!!!!

Neither one of us are "hairy" so I was really surprised when she was born and was so fuzzy. I think it's cute!

Random question and I don't feel like starting a thread. When can I start introducing a sippy or straw cup? Kahlan is almost 4 months and is just awful with bottles. Luckily it hasn't been an issue yet but may be when I start a chem lab this summer. Advice, oh magical catch all thread?

I introduced a sippy with DS1 around 10-11 months, I think. I can't imagine that a baby could handle that now--it's a different motion than sucking and they need to be able to hold the cup on their own.

I read something about just holding it for them for a bit until they catch on. I was hoping to do it around 4 or 5 months or so

I think my son was around a year before I even thought about a dippy cup.

Edit. Sippy. Auto correct wants it to be a dippy cup though. Lol

I don't remember whether I mentioned that LO is getting a helmet, but I'll do it here since this is our catch all. We got him measured for it on Friday. I was upset about it at first, but now I've come to terms with it. I know there are plenty of worse things to be dealing with and it should be a short amount of time (12 weeks max).

Still, I worry about how people are going to react to him. I know it's superficial. He is so happy and sweet and I worry people are just going to see the helmet, instead of what an awesome kid he is.

cboink

If people react badly than they are assholes. I understand your concerns though. Try to stay positive knowing you are doing what is right for your baby and that is not perminant.

Meant to quote @MissyC979‌

My baby is fuzzy too. She actually has hair on her ears too.

Dear it's simple....your baby is awesome. Your doing what's best for him and anyone else can F off. When it comes to superficial things like that as far as a helmet anyone who can look at a sweet baby and think badly of him is an asshat anyway. HUGS dear.

Cambury108

We love big bows here. Wear them almost daily. My DH hates them. I sort of do it at this point to spite him hahahaha

@MissyC979 sorry LO has to have that but it's for the best!! If you don't mind me asking... how big is your LO's spot? Is it pretty severe then or does your pedi recommend the helmet to keep it from getting worse? Does your LO have to wear it 24/7 or...?

We found a flat spot on DS on Saturday so are trying to prepare for conversation with pedi next week.

Pretty bad. When measuring diagonally, from back right to front left is 13mm less than the opposite way. I guess less than 4-6 mm different is normal.

Anyone who judges him is a douche anyway.

As a warning, people might feel free to make judgmental comments to you. I'd come up with some retorts now.

Any ideas? I always think of things after, but not in the moment. I'm also not sure what to have DS1 if kids in his preschool class ask about the helmet.

I do worry about people judging. We're doing everything we can for him though. Our guess is he got torticollis from his positioning in utero, since the pedi noticed his neck preference pretty early. We've been in PT for a month now, but we're still struggling with his preference.

Simon has fuzzy ears too! To be completely honest, the fuzzy ears were my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing about him as a newborn....I just find it so adorable! I don't want him to outgrow it!

@MissyC979‌ -- there is a good chance that Simon will need a helmet too. Did you see the thread a while back about the woman who paints them? If we get one, I really want to do that! Regardless though, screw people who can't look past it! I think the helmets are kind of cute in their own way.

bty19

L's fuzzy ears are gone now but she still has fuzzy shoulders.

One of DH's buddies is a district manager for Dunkin donuts... Sometimes he drops by and stocks us up on goodies! I haven't actually bought k cups in 6 months!!

This morning H texted me about wanting to eat healthier, including cutting down on carbs and how he needs help to do so. I offered to help by eating ALL the carbs! He didn't seem very appreciative of the sacrifice I am willing to make for him.

I appreciate your sacrifice.

Cambury108

Made this. Hope it's tasty. Waiting for it to cool so we can frost it. Will update with a pic once we do that and cut it

Cambury108

Done and yummy in my tummy

I'd just like to AW my afternoon! This kitten is crazy annoying most of the time but can be so sweet sometimes!

My son's 2nd birthday is today. We had a great weekend and a nice day today but I'm getting ready to put him to bed here in a few minutes and I'm getting sad. Here's a pic of my awesome little dude. And I expect lots of love tits from you love tit hoars to make me feel better

We sell (checks with husband) 155 different color combinations of these. Not otter box brand, but it's the same thing.

Where do you sell these at?? How much are they? Are the reviews as great as the OtterBox? I want a new color but I REFUSE to pay 40-50$ again.

Cats did us proud. There's always next year!

Congrats UConn fans!

This face got captured this evening and it is to funny not to share.

Cambury108

Cash, That outfit is ADORABLE!!!! Love that is has a matching headband!!!!! Raylin says..

Cambury108

Could have fooled me I love it!!! I think its cute and I would totally have put it together as a "set" as well. 

Alexisgamez105

I'm up looking at all of Mariah's pictures she's grown so much. She's 4 months old today from 6 days old to now :')

Cambury108

@Cashingn2‌ that is a cute pic. @Alexisgamez105‌ that is a huge difference. She is adorable. We will be 4 months old the 17th. @ballerina10‌ I am so sorry for you. Truly. When my DD started to act like yours and I couldn't survive anymore I started to supplement more and more. Looking back I regret it. My own personal issue. But I seriously feel for you because I have been there. Hugs.
