Re: Let's do a GTKY type poll:
How old is your LO? 8.5 months (wow that went by fast)
What is he/she eating? Favorite foods? Usually cereal with fruit in the morning and then whatever I eat for lunch and dinner. He loves steamed apple chunks. He will eat every single chunk of apple without dropping it. He absolutely hates peas and grean beans. Just like dad.
How does your LO get around (crawling, walking...)? He crawls everywhere and is getting really fast. He has started to let go a couple of times when he is standing. He will push around his bumbo seat like a walker.Does your LO babble a lot? Any words yet? He just start babbling more. No words yet, I think it will be awhile.
What has been the most challenging thing lately? Getting him dressed and diaper changes. He will not stay still. The minute his diaper is off he is squirming and trying to crawl away. Trying to get him into his pjs at night is like a WWF wrestling match.
Any cute moments you want to share? I usually rock and sing him to sleep, lately he has started whispering "ga ga ga" while I rock him. I think he is trying to sing along. It's really really cute.
Are you back down to your pre-pregnancy weight? I am finally back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I didn't try very hard to lose the weight, but it is nice to see that number on the scale again.
How's the weather? Beautiful! It's sunny and warm for winter. We've been able to go out for lots of long walks this week.
Anything you want to AW? Not really... just my DS is cute

Does your LO babble a lot? Any words yet?
Constant noise. She says Uh Oh and Up.

Any cute moments you want to share?
She is starting to become shy. So she buries her head into me when someone she doesn't know talks to her.
Are you back down to your pre-pregnancy weight?
I didn't gain while pregnant. I did gain when I had my gall bladder out a few months later though. So I'm 20 pounds up from PP weight.
How's the weather?
Gorgeous and 60. Winter didn't happen here.
Anything you want to AW?
My kid is standing unassisted and I think she's only about a week from taking her first steps.

Any words yet? No words, just ma ma, da da, ba ba. I like to think she's calling each of us by name (Mama, Dada, Brother)
What has been the most challenging thing lately? It's honestly got nothing to do with her! She's an absolute dream baby. Now, my DS and potty training? That's where our struggles currently lie.
Any cute moments you want to share? I absolutely love how she wakes up and never cries. My DS was not like this, so it's a real treat. She's content in her crib as long as I need to leave her there.
Are you back down to your pre-pregnancy weight? I am! + another 5. I was overweight when I got pregnant and had lost 50 lbs already (my goal was 75 back then). I have a good 20-25 to go to be at what I would consider my ideal weight.

He is everywhere and it's so hard to take both my kids places these days. The park is virtually impossible since my toddler still needs to be kept an eye on and the little guy crawls at lightening speed and puts everything that he can choke on immediately into his mouth. He seems fearless (which is again the opposite of my 26 month old)!
Any cute moments you want to share? The boys have started loving on each other all the time. Makes having them so close feel worth it!
