Re: Weekly check-in 7/5
What was the other question? Too busy fuming and ranting about the haircut.

My week was so so. I think I've been pooped on more with DD4 this week than I ever have with the other 3 girls. I am beginning to think her tummy doesn't agree with peaches and pears.
We did a few little fireworks outside last night then watched our neighbors. They had one of those big 8/9 count ones fall over and shoot into their garage where they were sitting and come just feet from us. It was hairy for a few mins. But all turned out well.
The things moms do for their kids! @mandyreads
My week was better. DS seems to maybe, slowly be emerging from his latest growth spurt. Alas, he has 'forgotten' how to sign so feeding and diaper changes are a big mess. He has started sitting up by supporting himself with his arms, which is a relief to all involved. I'm sure he'll be happier once he can properly sit. We also had 3 outings involving a car with no drama, which is a huge win.
He's been making us laugh this week because every time I put him over my shoulder, without fail, he would plank and let out a loud gleeful squawk (DH calls it his battle cry). He belted one out at the grocery store and startled some poor lady who was hunched over the sushi case.
QOTW: We normally do a road trip, cookout, picnic, and/or hike for the 4th. This year I've been content with catching up on chores since DH has been too busy to pitch in properly the last couple of weeks.
We didn't do anything to celebrate, unfortunately, instead using the day to finish getting ready for the very ambitious road trip we started yesterday - driving from AZ to Oregon. It started off so amazing! LO slept most of the morning and we got to our first stop, a campground, by about 1:30. But instead of nice walks in the woods, we ended up sitting in the truck all afternoon/evening watching it rain.
Then today is the opposite. LO won't sleep at all, just fusses and eats constantly. Has been really slow going. Am looking forward to a nice place to stay at a relative's house tonight.
In other news, our daughter is suddenly saying so many new words I can't even list them all. She's also starting to put together more sentences. It seems like every day it's something new.
We just bought a toddler bed because they stopped making the conversion kit for our crib. I had planned on using the crib a nice long time. I was able to find a great deal on a really nice toddler bed on Craigslist. We aren't ready to make the switch yet but she's starting to put her leg over and she's thinking about trying to climb out, so we want to be prepared. She is very excited about her new big bed and absolutely loves it, but as we all know playing on the bed and sleeping on it are two entirely different things. As soon as we make the switch it's going to change everything. Right now she is a great sleeper at night, she goes right down. I'm not ready for her to stay up and play. I hope we can hold off awhile.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I'm exhausted. Sorry I haven't been on here to respond to posts. Mommy needs a break.
For the fourth, DH cooked out on the back deck, which was nice, but it would have been nicerificould have been out there with him instead of inside with crying LO. Oh well, I just keep telling myself he won't be this fussy forever!
