Parenting after a Loss

***JULY MAMAS come in!!!****

Hello lovelies! How are all of our little 'sparklers' doing? Can't believe its OCTOBER already! This is the month we got pregnant last year! WOW!

So whats going on with your LO? Post a recent pic if you wish!

 

Bennett turned 3 months this past tuesday. He has to be close to 17 pounds now. We are going to measure his length tonight. He is in size 6-9 months and in size 2 diapers, although we will be switching to 3's here VERY soon.

Ben is eating about 7 ounces every 4 hours during the day (about 5 bottles) and is usually sleeping from 8-530. He can hold a rattle in his  hand and is able to bat at and connect with toys that are hanging in front of him. He also is putting together lots of sounds and frequently says 'hi'.  He can also make that 'razzing' sound while blowing bubbles with his mouth

Bennett is also teething....his bottom 2 teeth are almost through! So exciting!!! He loves books and we read every night. He hates baths so he only gets one of those every other night! I cannot belive he is almost 14 weeks already!!!

The photo in my siggy is one from his 3 month bday!

  • Wow - teething!!!! That's crazy. I'm not ready for that... Bennett is adorable!

    Avery turned 3 months on 10/9. She's still in some 0-3 things, but is wearing some 3-6 month stuff, too. She's a peanut! Still in size 1 diapers. I'm not sure what she weighs, but I'm guessing 12-12 1/2 lbs. She started daycare this week. I hated leaving her but she's doing really well. And with daycare came the end of sleeping through the night. Oh well, I know she will get back to it at some point. She's done with her Pavlik harness and her hips are completely normal - yay!!!

  • I know time sure flies!!! I can remember TTC and on Nov 7th is when I got my BFP!

    I cannot believe Bennett is teething! He is such a cutie!!!

    Cabe turned 3 months on the 9th. He is rolling from his back onto his stomach although sometimes he still gets stuck on his side. He likes to be carried and can tell when you are sitting down and carrying him LOL. He doesn't eat that much which I am kind of worried about but he still has enough wet diapers and is still gaining weight... He is around 14lbs so he's still in 0-3 or 3-6 month clothes... We are using up the last of our size 1 diapers and then we'll be moving to size 2...

  • Andrew turned 3 months on the 9th (just like MaryEllen and Kellieok's LO's!) He is such a happy, smiley little guy! He weighs about 13lbs. 0-3 month clothes are getting snug but 3-6 month pants are too long. Still in size 1 diapers but only until we finish this box. He's ready for size 2!  He rolls from belly to back and has gotten to his side from his back but that's it. We transitioned him to the crib and he's doing really well with that after a few rough nights. He sleeps 9-5/6ish then back down til about 9. The rest of his naps throughout the day are pretty short. He is SO vocal and loves to "talk" to me. He will smile whenever he hears my voice or sees me and will follow me with his eyes as I move around the room. I love him to pieces!

  • Me and Jace ? baby Bennett!

    Jace is wonderful! About 13 lbs and 24 inches long... finishing up size 1 diapers and then moving on to size 2. He drinks about 6oz every three hours and most night we sleep from 10 to 5:30 but maybe twice a week we wake up to eat around 2am. He is smiling all the time now which simply warms my heart everytime! Yesterday was his 3 month birthday and he rolled back to tummy for the first time! So excited he waited to do it until I got off of work and I got to see it!! He loves his momma!! :) He talks all the time but it just a bunch of baby babble and its adorable. Jace has started the beginnings of teething I'm afraid. Chewing on his hands and dropping everywhere!!! I think my favorite thing is when he laughs... sweetest sounds (besides his heartbeat when I was pg with him) that I have ever heard!

    Time is flying for our sweet little sparklers! And I love these monthly updates on our LOs!

  • Well actually Hannah was supposed to be an August baby but she decided that the sparklers were way cooler..  Cool  lol

    Hannah will be 12 wks on Monday, its hard to believe!  She is still nursing and doing awesome with it.  She gets one bottle of formula at night because my DH feels left out..  lol... At 8 wks she was 12 lbs..  She is a little porker..

    She is really starting to smile and giggle at us, especially her two older sissy's..   She is also batting at her car toy bar now..  She can hit the toys every once in awhile..  And she loves her bath..

    I honestly think I have the happiest baby ever. She wakes up and doesnt even cry she just "babbles" and when we come out to see her she is all smiles for the first 15 minutes!  She is a very happy and content baby..  Nothing like starting your day off that way.  (for my fb friends I put a video of her first thing this morning)..  it is wayy cute.. 

    Hannah's two months pics are in my siggy...

  • Cole is 12 weeks, 3 days old - will be 3 months next Wednesday!! wow!

    He's about 13-13.5 pounds, we think, and about 24-25 inches, still pretty much in the 50%.. He's been in 3-6 for about 2 weeks now, and the sweater in the pic below is 6-12 - bit big, over a long sleeved onesie, but it'll be warm!

    We're still BFing, about every 3-4 hours during the day, and goes a stretch of 5.5-6 hours at night!! He grabs and shakes the rings on the toy bar, and is very smiley and flirty. He pushes himself up really well, and has been pushing to "standing" on my lap for over a month! Likes to "creep", if you give him a hand - behind his feet! lol...

    I think he tries to say "hi" - we all say it a lot to him, and he's been making "i" sounds lately! Lots of bubbles, and makes "cc" hard c sort of throaty sounds - I'm thinking bc he hears "Cole" a lot - as in "Hi Cole!!"! 

    He loves looking at everything, and is really SUCH a good baby! This pic is today, just a few minutes ago!

  • Baby Aidan is 4 1/2 months old, 2 1/2 months adjusted.  He wears size 2 Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive diapers and Size 3 Seventh Generation diapers.  He wears 3-6 month and 6 month clothing, but I am starting to put him in 6-9 month and 9 month clothing.  He is starting to really like the Ergo Baby carrier.  He was 14 lbs 3 oz at his 4 month appt. at the end of September.  He is holding his head better now.  But he still has not learned how to roll over or how to sit up.

  • Baby Shortcake will be 3 months next week.  We've been really lucky - she's an angel baby (rarely cries - only if really hungry, SSTN since 2 weeks, very smiley and social, loves to talk and coo).  She wears size 2 thirsties cloth diaper covers, or size 2 pampers.  She's growing really well (90th percentile on avg), about 14 lbs and 25.5" long.  She's wearing 6-9 month clothing - it was bittersweet packing away her little things that she's outgrown already!  She loves to play with her toys, can wave, make kisses, can almost sit up unattended, and now is quite determined to support herself standing (which is ridiculous and impossible - but the girl's a go-getter) She hasn't had any more seizures, will not be getting further testing for neither glut 1 transport deficiency disorder, nor neuroblastoma, and is currently weaning off of her phenobarbital. We feel very blessed to have her, and for her to be so happy and healthy!

  • Holy cow, compared to all the other sparkler babies, Teagan really is a peanut!! She just got weighed last week (Thursday she was 3 months) and she is only 10 pounds 11 ounces! But she is almost 24 inches tall! Dr said she is VERY tall and VERY skinny, but he's not worried about her weight! I have to admit though....I am!

     

    She is a VERY happy baby! She is the best baby we've had yet! Always smiling, hardly ever cries, and loves to be held and cuddle!

     

    I think she may be teething too! She's always drooling and chewing on my finger! She has already mastered rolling from her belly to her back.  She smiles, chatters, and laughs!

     

    The picture on the right in my siggy was taken at 3 months!
