Re: What is your favorite part of this age?
My favorite is watching her discover her world. It amazes me that 6 months ago I had this tiny little baby and how much she has changed.
I hate her getting away from me while changing diapers!
favorite -he's always smiling, and figuring things out
least favorite - possible teething, finicky with bottle (pushing it away more frequently)

OCT 2011 Moms BlogI'm really enjoying the most things; her discovery of new things, smiles & laughs and our interactions.
I'm still struggling with her reflux...the amount of puke is just gross. And I think she's once again grown out of her medicine dosage. I can't wait until this is over.
I really enjoy that she can interact with her surroundings now. We do video chat with our parents and she is starting to recognize them and watch them when they talk to her and knows who they are. I love that.
Least favorite part - Solid.food.diapers. Gross.
Aw, G is getting cuddlier too and it's so cute.
Right now I love that he laughs whenever he sees my husband, my mom and dad, and me. So I guess the level of interaction and actually seeing him learn and discover things.
I have to say I love him so much right now, in a way I definitely did NOT when he was a newborn.
There isn't a ton I dislike except he is constantly bending his knees up during diaper changes which makes it tough, and now that he's mostly dropped the third nap he gets pretty cranky around 6.
Most favorite is probably her discovering new things. It's amazing to watch her figure things out for herself.
Least favorite is her constantly trying to roll while we are changing her diaper or clothes. It's getting ridiculous.
My favorite part: DS laughs and smiles so much and is so much fun to play with now.
My least favorite part: He doesn't like any of his toys he used to love (like the jumperoo) and he either seems bored or over stimulated and I can never tell which so I usually just make him cry.
LOVE that he gets so excited to see me and gives me hugs and kisses when I pick him up! He is developing such a personality and it is freakin adorable!
There isn't much I dislike honestly. I was blessed with an amazing baby who rarely every cries (I know I'm probably jinxing myself!). But I will have to agree with the solid foods poop compared to the bm poop..... yuck, its nasty!)
L has been yanking my hair so hard the past few days.... as if it weren't falling out enough on its own!
OMG! I love C more than anything but the hair pulling has to stop or I am going to lose my mind. It drives me bananas. I have been tempted to take a pair of scissors to it myself. Chopping my hair is going to be my reward for losing 10 lbs and I am halfway there and can almost taste the freedom.
I love watching her smart little eyes figuring stuff out.
I hate when she slaps my face or claws my lips.
Ditto ebp913! (For anyone who was in a "serious" sorority in college please tell me you did the ditto during rush).
I love watching him learn new things! He just started army crawling and you can tell is so proud of himself, haha!
I hate that he has found his penis and grabs it at every diaper change.
I have to agree with you about the reflux. I am soooo sick of the CONSTANT spit up and puke. It's absolutely ridiculous how many outfits/bibs/burp cloths we go through, and it's worse now that the solids are staining everything! I can't wait for him to outgrow it!
But I really love how happy he gets when I walk in the room, and watching him get more interactive with everything around him. And the way he giggles at his daddy.
I love the smiles, the hugs, the kisses, the fact that he wants to interact with us.
I hate that he ALWAYS wants to interact with us. I can't wait till he's a little more independent.
I love his smiles, his facial expressions,his interest in toys or just his feet, the way he giggles everytime ds1 talks to him. The way he blows raspberries or laughs continuously when you are trying to feed him. His personality is developing quickly and boy am I in trouble.
Not so much love for his morning diaper blowout which goes up his back. The way he blows raspberries or laughs continuously when you are trying to feed him, The way he snuggles into you then pinches or smacks you repeatedly while trying to fall asleep.
I have to agree as well! Reflux is the pits and I so thought we'd be done (or at least getting better) at this point.
I also hate not sleeping or having any alone time.
I love his voice... he just started saying "dada" yesterday. He's so happy and giggle and always a joy to be around. I love him discovering his world. Mostly though, I love the love he has for his big sister and the way they are interacting. Him giggling at her is absolutely the BEST thing ever!
Enjoying most: just about everything is awesome right now, but I especially love the cuddles and kisses and watching her figure things out. I also love how focused she gets when playing with her toys and that she can entertain herself so well with them. Oh, and that she reaches for me!
Least favourite: I'd have to agree about the rolling around during diaper changes. Plus she's starting to whine, which I can't stand in kids (or adults, for that matter), but I know it's just a new sound she's figuring out.

1. like lots of you, discovering the world. the looks she gets on her face when she discovers she can do something new. she so cute when she spies one of the balloons we still have floating around from DS's birthday party. her face lights up and she makes my heart so happy!
2. being immobile and bored. she hates being on the floor w/ toys, she'd much rather be in her exercauser, bumbo or jumperoo. i love these 3 things and they come in so handy while i deal w/ her crazy azz brother, (he is so freaking needy these days) but i feel bad i can't give her tons of 1 on 1 floor time i did with DS. i feel like i neglect her
it will be great when she can run around after him and rock his world!
Like most everyone else, I love seeing how much she is learning and discovering on her own. She's staring to scoot a little to get to toys when she's sitting up and I love when she reaches for me.
Im not enjoying her clinginess to fall asleep each night. She used to go to sleep really easily and sleep through the night and I feel like we have been going backwards. And she doesn't like the carseat as much anymore. Not fun.

Most = when she pulls for me to cuddle
Least = Her screaming. Not a happy "yay" scream, but a loud, ear drum piercing, blood curdling scream
Congrats Starbuck :y & HHB on their sweet baby boys!
Lots of love & luck to Mdluv & Zook
IUI#4 = BFP!!
When the world says give up... hope whispers try it one more time
Most: rolling on our bed together. It's become a game of him rolling away and then turning back to smile or giggle at me, then rolling toward me to cuddle. Also love his deep concentration when exploring.
Least: rolling with diaper change, whining, smelly poop, crying when one of us leaves the room
I love how interested A is in everything....exploring, watching, touching, eating. I also love that she has really started stringing sounds together. It is so obvious that in her head, she is speaking to me!
One difficult thing is how frustrated she gets when she can't reach something/do something she wants.
Her sense of humor! She is very silly and laughes and smiles a lot! LOVE THIS
She is starting to pinch and poopy diapers smell a lot worse now that she is eating solids...
