1. I was singing "Na na na na, na na na na. Hey hey hey. Goodbye" to him the other day and he started singing back, "Na na na, heeeeeh. Buhbye."
2. He really understands what is going on around him now. He follows simple instructions and understands when I explain something to him. I just love watching him learn!
3. I've been frustrated with my hair for months. I switched from expensive salon shampoo and conditioner to a more natural shampoo and conditioner, and my hair hated it, it was dry, frizzy and not soft at all. Last week I switched to a locally made shampoo bar and an apple cider vinegar rinse. My hair is soft again, and smooth, and has body. I'm so happy!

Carlene was born 4/18/2014 A14 siggy challenge: Junk Food
1. She has taken to running around the corner and jumping out and yelling "BOO". She also has seen DH juggle a lot, and she just started picking up two balls & whirling her arms around windmill style to juggle. She will do this anytime I say "Do you want to juggle?"
2. She started really saying Ma-Ma today!!! (FINALLY!) And while nursing she'll pull off, look at me and say "Milk".
3. I got to meet Shaindel and family last month while traveling for work!
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently.
When we are going out the door she brings everybody their shoes.
2. Are there any new milestones with LO?
She's started to run and finally move faster than walking. She's also now a pro with a spoon, eating a container of yogurt and spilling hardly any of it!
3. Can you tell us something random?
Miss Vicki's Sea Salt and Malt vinegar chips.... somehow today I managed to eat nearly an entire bag in one sitting.... and not a small bag... oops.
1. He's always trying to put clothes on (usually with limited success) - pants are held up to his waist and then he bends over so they stay up, shirts are put on his head like a hat, and he does manage to put on my socks and DH's shoes.
2. Not really, unless you count temper tantrums as a milestone!
3. I can't even think of anything... I'm in vacation with my inlaws in Maine. Well, "vacation" - I'm still working and have DS. I think next year I'll send DS on vacation with the ILs and I'll stay home and sleep!
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently. He legit tries to have a conversation with me thru pointing, babbling and a few real words here and there. I wonder what he thinks he's saying? His little voice is my favorite sound right now.
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? Lots of running, climbing and getting into trouble!
3. Can you tell us something random? We bought a new house and are moving in at the end of October. We're really excited but the current stress levels are HIGH!!! Also, I would like to give the people buying our current home swift kicks to the face....QUITE ob

1. What is something cute your LO has done recently. When we are driving Jack will yell "Mama!!!" and I will say "Yes?" and he say's "Wuv you".
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? He is talking a whole lot more and learning to put puzzle pieces in the right vacinty if not in the correct spot.
3. Can you tell us something random? I am interviewing for my dream job on Monday and I am sooooo excited!
I want to get a discussion going, with those of us that are still here, so I've come up with a few questions.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently. DS took a number two in his diaper and immediately after said "poop." Kinda gross, but I thought it was adorable!
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? He is repeating everything and learning so many new words. I love it!
3. Can you tell us something random? I have had a pumpkin spice latte everyday since then came back to Starbucks.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently?
We've been working on learning body parts lately, and he loves to point to his belly button now. Yesterday at the grocery store as I was paying he proudly lifted his shirt all the way up to show it off to the old lady checking us out.
2. Are there any new milestones with LO?
Nothing too major... saying a few more words, and CLIMBING ON EVERYTHING!!!!
3. Can you tell us something random?
I am trying not worry about Jamie's vocabulary... he seriously only says Mama, Dada, Doggie and a small handful of other words, but he uses them very randomly. I know he's fine, and they all learn at their own pace, but I'm so anxious to "talk" to him and know what he's thinking!
I want to get a discussion going, with those of us that are still here, so I've come up with a few questions.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently. Only one thing? Hugged the hell outta me before he left with DH for DC this morning. Okay, and he likes to sit in the bottom of the refrigerator every time it's open.
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? Recently walking! And man, is he already fast! I have to run sometimes to beat him if it's something he shouldn't have/be doing. Also, he has added a lot of new words this week--including turtle (tor-to). It's the theme of the nursery, so that's cute.
3. Can you tell us something random? I called in sick today because a migraine on top of m/s is not something I can do and manage 34 kids. DS is at DC, and I'm home alone with no guilt about doing nothing. It's AWESOME!

Hope you are feeling well! I stalk you when I can
Big Boy N - 2009 Little Man Z - 2011 Baby Girl E - 2013
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently. She loves Sesame Street. Like, in an embarrassing way. She can point correctly to every character, but she can't do that yet with regular animals or colors for example. Mommy fail!! Anyway, sometimes we show her Sesame videos on Youtube, like "Elmo's Song". When they end, she claps and yells like she's at a concert.
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? I guess just her level of understanding and how well she responds to questions/commands. She's been trying to eat with utensils, and she does an ok job with it.
3. Can you tell us something random? I just washed all of Nora's fall clothes last night. I can't believe I'm about to put her in long-sleeved, 24 months clothing.
Yay! I'm calling it a night after working on this British literature syllabus until 10 p.m., so I'm glad there's something fun here!
Twirple:
I want to get a discussion going, with those of us that are still here, so I've come up with a few questions.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently.
He has started running and squealing whenever he's excited. We went to the first baby gymnastics lesson Tuesday, and it was a 45-minute squeal-fest because he was excited the *entire* time!
2. Are there any new milestones with LO?
He puts little phrases together. On his toy cell phone, he'll say, "It's Liam!" or when he throws a ball, he'll say, "Look out!"
3. Can you tell us something random?
Jared is working part-time, so Liam is going to an in-home daycare. She's a really young girl (18) who still lives with her parents and watches her nieces and nephews while everyone is at work, so Liam is the only "non-family" child she watches. I'm a little nervous about it, but so far, so good... She was recommended to us by two daycare centers that were full.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently.
DD cousin is 7 months younger than her and she has just started walking. DD held on to her hands and helped her walk the length of the house. So cute!
2. Are there any new milestones with LO?
She's finally starting to talk. She babbles a lot, but now has about 5 words that she says consistently and she is also experimenting with sounds a lot more. (Still waiting for the "Momma" and "Dadda" to come)
3. Can you tell us something random?
I work at a church and they just donated one of their huge plastic play houses to us! DD absolutely loves it.
1. We were at the library and an old woman sneezed, Chloe said "Oh, bless you" and ran to get her a tissue.
2. She's understanding so much more these days. And she's good at catching herself, like stopping before crossing the street to look and hold my hand. You'll hear her go "oh" when she's close to the street and start looking around and then come grab my hand.
3. Something random, I was really looking forward to bringing her to the zoo for Teddy Bear day (they give the bear a checkup and she loves Doc McStuffins so I thought she'd love this) but she has a cold so I don't think we'll be able to go tomorrow, I'm so bummed. Hubby thinks it's weird that I am disappointed to not go to a child activity at the zoo.
1. What is something cute your LO has done recently.
She goes around kissing everyone and everything. Mama, sure, stacked blocks, piece of cardboard, remote control? Works for her, too!
2. Are there any new milestones with LO? I feel she understands a lot of what I'm asking her even though she still has very few words.
3. Can you tell us something random? I purchased the BEST pair of tall suede boots in an olive green yesterday. I've never really been able to find that "perfect" Fall boot that fits great everywhere, has the right heel and is comfortable and I finally have! It's the little things.

3. I either have a bug or all day sickness. Haven't decided which yet.
