Any challenges this week? Just a minor one with her sleeping on her belly now that she rolls over, her drool is insane and soaks her crib sheet.
Funny stories? She is noticing the cats now and is fixated on them! It's so cute!
Milestones? she rolls over both ways and lifts her upper body up while on her belly! And she naps in her crib now! yay!
GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? I love taking pictures although most are taken on my phone anymore since its easier. I love going for walks but the cold weather has ruined that for now, ready for spring! Lol

Hi all!

G was full on laughing in the bath last night! Soooo sweet.

Last week was the first week DH and I were both back to work so, MIL came to watch G at our place. We're so thankful for her help, but DH starts nights, so we won't need her this week :]

My favorite hobby is sewing. I'd love to get a heavy duty serger and make some fancy fitted diapers and soakers...but I have not been able to make any time for it. I have turned a few onesies into shirts, and made some cloth wipes but that's about it. I'd also like to learn how to follow knitting patterns. I desperately want to make a wool molly bubble romper for G! Wish me luck!

Challenges: Leo has been very fussy the past few days...not sure if its gas or just being an infant. He doesn't want to be put down and seems uncomfortable at times. I will probably call the pedi tomorrow to ask for some advice. 

Milestones: We are starting to get into a routine a bit, well not really Leo but a routine for myself lol. I am starting to feel more like myself and actually showering/getting dressed and getting out of the house. 

Funny Stories: Nothing new but just being overall cute

GTKY  I don't have a "hobby" really but I enjoy reading, exercise, and traveling. I wish I was crafty or was able to do photography but maybe down the road.

Challenges: Actually this week has been really good! We made it through ST (boy, that was rough!) and Lexi now STTN for the most part. We still have the occasional crying bout, but it's a lot better than it was. 

Milestones: She has started saying ba ba, which sounds a lot like momma! There were a couple times where I thought she said it, but it was probably just babbling.

GTKY: My favorite hobbies are crafting/ sewing and running. I've had zero time to do any crafty things since L was born. Maybe when she has more independence I'll be able to get back into it. As for running, I make time for it either after she's in bed or on the weekends and DH watches her. I have a jogging stroller, but it's too cold to take her outside right now. That will have to wait until the spring.

Any challenges this week? We are starting to fight naps now during the day, however, I think that is helping in other areas. (See milestones)

Funny stories? This afternoon, L's diaper leaked all over the both of us, so while I was changing him I kept calling him "My dirty little boy" and tickling his tummy.  He was laughing and smiling the whole time. 

Milestones? L is now STTN as long as he gets his last bottle after 10pm.  I will gladly take less naps during the day for my uninterrupted night of sleep.

GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? How do you (if you do) make time for it with LOs? I love to do cross stitching.  I am (still) making a baby blanket, but have had to take a break since I'm doing crafty things for L's room.  Once his bank is done that I'm making right now I'm going to get going on his blanket again.  I also want to do a cross stitch birth record for him....it may not get done until his 1st birthday, but that's OK.

Annabelle had her two week appointment today and I am proud to say she's 6lbs 2oz now! That's a 14 oz weight gain in 12 days guess we are being as sucessfull with breast feeding as I had thought. We're still having a hard time getting her to sleep any where other than in bed with us at night but we can usually get her down for one stretch a night in either the co-sleeper or swing. She's great at being put in them during the day so I'm hoping we'll figure it out before long. Her umbilcal cord stump also fell out today so in a few days when it fully heals that will be one less thing to worry about.

For a funny story.. Annabelle wet our bed this week lol. I was changing her in the morning and she decided to take a huge pee while laying on top of the new diaper before I fastened it and since we have a memory foam matress it was at an angle from me sitting on it and the pee ran right off the diaper and onto the bed. Atleast it was in the morning and not the middle of the night!

GTKY: Last year I started making cards which I really enjoy but haven't been able to do lately. It's an expensive and time consuming hobby so I don't imagine I will be doing much of it for a while.

Challenges: I threw out my back...again...putting DD in the bassinet. I spent all day yesterday resting and this morning there isn't much improvement so more rest. My other challenge is having a better relationship with DS. We are butting heads these days. I need to be more patient with him and remember he is only 3.

Funny: we have DD her first real bath in the baby tub yesterday and she seemed to love it. She did not cry one bit. DS screamed his head off the entire time when it was his first time. It is funny comparing them.

Hobbies: I have many but of course I don't do them at all times. I do bake the most. Love to read and having the reader app my iPhone really helps with passing the time during some nursing sessions. I enjoy painting on canvas when I get the itch. If I find a cool DIY or craft on Pinterest, I like to try it.

Any challenges this week? Funny stories? Milestones? - We had two nights in a row last week of STTN.  I wasn't really expecting it, but it was awesome.  For the past two nights K has been up for his usual 4 am feeding, but now that I know he can go without it I'm going to work on soothing him back to sleep without eating and only feed him if it doesn't work.

GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? How do you (if you do) make time for it with LOs?
 I really love cooking and baking.  I haven't done as much as I would like lately, I just feel so strapped for time.  I feel like it's a win just to get any dinner on the table during the week, even if it is just some chicken breasts and veggies on the indoor grill.  I do miss having some time to play in the kitchen, but I try to make something new every Sunday.  I did do a ton of baking over the holidays, and that was really fun, but now that everyone is back on a diet for the new year no one seems to want any treats around.
