    What has been your favorite memory with your LO so far? When he was brand new, the only time he would open his eyes was when we were burping him. He would try so hard to lift his head and looked so bewildered. It was so adorable. I wrapped him back up and laid him on my chest and remember perfectly his little patch of long black hair sticking straight up out of his swaddle. 

    What is something that you think you rock at as far being a mom goes? Our house is very comfortable as far as being yourself. We have alot of fun and do alot of activities. We operate on very basic rules and I love that. I love that our house is the retreat house for the kids.

    When do you struggle? Ugh, other people's stress really affects me. Also, I'm very one on one, so if 2 people who I love are pulling me in different directions, I literally cannot deal.  This was as big of a factor in our decision to be one&done as finances. 

    Is there anything you do that your mom does/did? (good or bad) Kids come before housework attitude. I still use almost all of her recipes that she used. I always feel a pang of guilt when people rave about "my" eggrolls. I still cant do housework without the radio blaring. Thats from her too.

    We went to my FIL and swam in their pool. It was just DS and I all day. Then we went to the school playground and he was actually climbing up the stairs and sliding down the slide. We went and had his first ice cream then came home and painted. This was a couple weeks ago. He was so well behaved and had so much fun.

    What is something that you think you rock at as far being a mom goes? I'm very creative and love to plan new experiences and activities.

    When do you struggle? When he's stubborn and trying to be independent I get frustrated easily.

    Is there anything you do that your mom does/did? (good or bad)? Even if we didn't take a nap my mom would force us to have "quiet time" we could read or draw but we had to do calm things: no toys or tv.

    BTW I don't care for the new format but love that I can include PIP so easily. Now, if they could get my siggy to update...

    What has been your favorite memory with your LO so far?
    Probably when he took his first steps! It was seriously so exciting. It seems so long ago now. He's been walking full time for 4.5 months, but I still remember those first three steps from the coffee table to me and I could cry!

    What is something that you think you rock at as far being a mom goes?
    Letting DS do and explore whatever he wants. As long as it's not dangerous, I let DS go. It's so fun and he's laid back. He always has scraped knees and bruises, but they never bother him. He falls and gets right back up. I love just letting him be a crazy toddler!

    When do you struggle?
    I work a varied schedule and still get to see DS a tonne every day. When he goes to daycare he has so much fun and is always happy when I pick him up. But I still can't help but wish we had more time together.

    Hmm... Honestly, not really. We're not very close and we differ a lot. She's very nervous and gasps every time DS trips. I'm just not like that at all. We were always home and didn't go out much. I like to bring DS all over the place and show him new things all the time. So I really don't think there's much, if anything, we do the same.

    1. My favorite memory thus far would probably be spending three days on a train with the three of us alone in a little box car.

    2. I think I rock at the whole routine thing. I've never had a routine that I was super strict about, as a child or an adult. While I'm somewhat flexible with AJ's routine, I got it down like nobody else. It took me awhile, and I'm some what proud of it. Also, I'm really patient with her, when in other avenues of life, I have very little patience.

    3. Ok, my biggest struggle is probably with food right now. I'm seriously stressing over my daughter not eating vegetables. I feel like I did not push them on her enough in the beginning stages and went too fast to other more tasteful food items.

    4. My mother and my own parenting styles are not similar. I wouldn't say my mom was a bad mom, because she wasn't, but I wouldn't model my parenting style after hers.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    Hummm, maybe the first time she gave me a kiss. It still melts my heart when she kisses me.

    What is something that you think you rock at as far being a mom goes?
    I think I am a very loving mom. DD kisses her dolls and stuffed animals and she was petting our neighbors' son' hair when they were playing. I think she will be a loving person too.

    When do you struggle?
    I struggle with the lack of sleep and DH being gone for work. Some days I need a nap with DD because I am too impatient.

    Is there anything you do that your mom does/did? (good or bad)
    I sing a lot to DD like my mom did with us.
