Unabashed Brag Post- Anyone Interested?

AllieAGame · August 2013

Is anyone interested in bragging a bit about your life/baby/self? I know we have to be careful of comparing ourselves or babies to anyone else as everyone is different and babies all develop on their own schedule (is that a PC enough disclaimer?), but sometimes it's good to get your kudos out there! We have a lot of fun venting posts, so how about a positive one too. For the record I looooove the venting threads.

Baby Brag: Little Snuffles jabbers like a talk show host, and I swear she says "Hi." We say HI(!) to her a lot, and she has started to repeat the sound. Also, she's super strong and loves to stand (with help). Most wonderfully, she sleeps like a champ and still takes hour long naps a couple times a day.

Mommy Brag: I made dinner 4 times last week out of real food that requires pots and pans to cook.

Life Brag: My Husband is the best father ever. When he is home he just naturally splits Lexie's care with me pretty evenly and loves every minute of it. I never worry even for a second about LO when she is with Daddy. One of my best friends was bragging about how her husband has changed their daughter about 10 times (she's 4 months old) and I couldn't help but feel a bit proud of my man for being awesome.

Here goes:

Baby brag: she's got such a lovely personality. She's laid back, smiley, and chatters away.

Mummy brag: I've managed to organise the house this week and I'm almost done ready for the estate agent to take photos.

Life brag: even though MH is under a lot of stress he's still happy and calm around us. He's a great Dad.

nbatchen · August 2013

Baby brag: My LO loves to talk and sometime even sound like he say MaMa ( though I know he really isn't). He also loves to be held so he can stand! It is one of the only things that calms him if he is fussy! He is I've laying like a baby!

Mommy brag: I somehow from the beginning have been able to keep up with the house work! Dishes, laundry, and cleaning are somehow always done!

Life brag: My hubby is an amazing dad! He was so worried before LO came but once he was here my hubby has been a natural with him! He has always split the baby duties with me and even got up for MOTN feeding a so I could pump while he fed him!

TundraGirl · August 2013

Baby brag: He is generally a very laid-back, happy little man. He's got the best smile and is a good traveler.

Mommy brag: I've been able to take care of him and finished my seating charts and printed some back to school stuff at the same time.

Life brag: My husband and I are a strong parenting team.

KLJ3 · August 2013

Baby brag: DS is a happy, laid-back, easy baby. He naps well and entertains himself often. He isn't picky about what he's eating, the type of bottle it's in, or who is giving it to him.

Mommy brag: I've got nuthin'.

Life brag: DH has been wonderful!

JenJen2209 · August 2013

Baby Brag: Ive got the cutest, smartest, best baby ever lol. Im sure thats what we all think of our LOs. B also likes standing and talking and I love nothing more than having conversations with him. His eyes have really lightened up since his birth and I love the color blue theyve become. Hes pretty much all around amazing and Im so blessed

Mommy Brag: Since Ive gone back to work, Ive managed to work full-time and put dinner on the table. I didnt do this before baby so Im proud of myself for sticking to the meal plan DH and I lay out at the beginning of the week. Even though B is only 2 months old, I really wanted to start the habit of eating as a family.

Life Brag: Im so proud of MH for selling his first house! Not only does he stay home with LO while Im at work (and does a great job), he sold a house and is starting baseball lessons at a sports academy. I love that man

jayro10 · August 2013

Baby brag: she can straighten her legs and stand up when we hold her. She's been doing that since 5 weeks. She also sleeps really well at night. She wakes up to eat 2 times, but always goes right back down without help. She has red hair which everyone comments on because it's such a pretty shade.

Mommy brag: I read books to her just about every day. I'm not so good about making her do enough tummy time, but I'm good at books.

Life brag: my husband is a superstar at his job. My mom is the best grandma ever. We have a beautiful life!

TradeMama · August 2013

Baby Brag: LO has the best disposition... he only cries when he's hungry and it's so funny to listen to him squeal and squeak as though he thinks he's talking. As far as my OLDER babies, I'm so proud of my 7 year old doing great at piano lessons... he's only been playing since October and he can read music and play with two hands. He officially knows more about music than I do. And my oldest son is looking forward to a new school year and playing sports... I can't believe he's going to be in 10th grade. How time flies!

Mommy Brag: I've been doing pretty well juggling three kids, a pregnancy, a house, and a husband. The house is decently clean, everyone is fed, and all the kids are alive. Yay me.

Life Brag: I am feeling really blessed lately... DH does an amazing job as a father, partner, and friend. Even in the middle of the night, even if he has to work the next day, he never complains. Our older two kids are his stepsons, and I was worried when LO was born he'd treat them differently, but he hasn't. He's amazing.

PumpkinAndThePeanut · August 2013

Babies brag: E is such a chatty baby when she's in a good mood, and it's the cutest thing ever. V is so strong already in her legs and neck. And of course, they both have beautiful smiles and are the cutest babies in the world.

Mommy (and babies) brag: We've just completed two weeks on 100% breast milk, fed almost entirely by nursing (see worry post about possible starvation). And I've finally been able to start a frozen milk stash.

Life brag: my H is a terrific dad and is really patient with me when I get frustrated and overwhelmed. And with a lot of help (from family and from hired help), our household is running as smoothly as before the girls were born.

RoxZ32 · August 2013

Baby brag: Lillian is an amazing sleeper. She's been giving me 10-11 hours at night since she was 7 weeks. Plus she's super easy to put to bed. Once the lights are of she knows it's bedtime and falls asleep with fussing (usually! )

Mommy brag: I have lost all my baby weight plus a couple extra pounds. I see a personal trainer twice a week plus I do cardio on my own 4 times a week. It's a lot of work but I'm proud of myself for sticking to it.

Life brag: like you ladies I have an amazing husband. He works 13 hour days but still comes home to take care of her all evening while I go to the gym and do my own thing. He's never complained - he loves every minute with Lily.

jenb1205 · August 2013

Baby brag: Owen is the happiest little dude. My two favorite times of the day with him are in the morning when I go to get him out of his crib and bath time. I love it when he flashes us a big grin and makes all his funny "talking noises".

Mommy brag: I'm back to teaching yoga and I have classes almost every day this month! Even though it's been hard to get the scale moving in the right direction, I'm feeling so much closer to my pre-pregnancy self in terms of my fitness level. I'm getting spin certified later this month and being back on my bike has been awesome.

Life brag: My husband has been better at this than I ever could have imagined. Watching him with his son makes me excited for what the future holds as he gets older.

c-elizabethf · August 2013

Baby brag- DD has been sleeping through the night for the past three nights, at first I couldn't believe it.

Mommy brag- I finally did ALL the laundry

Life brag- DH always ask how he can help and not only that he cleaned the whole house. It was awesome! Especially since he works all day in the heat as an operator. I always tell him to relax but he always insist

SaguaroBlossmom · August 2013

Baby brag: S is such a good baby , she never cries for no reason. She has such a calm disposition. Smiles all the time . Takes naps all day long, Falls asleep on her own since day 1, and was STTN at 6 weeks. She has started "talking" which is so flippin adorable

Mommy brag : I've been able to raise my 2 girls and take care of everything ( house, laundry, cleaning, cooking ) on my own. I am still able to BF with supplement , and have started a (very ) small stash in the freezer ... And I kill all the bugs including scorpions I find in the house ( this is huge for me people!!! )

Life brag: my DH works so very very hard to give us a comfortable life. He sacrifices so much for us but comes at a very dear cost of never getting to see us. I have not had to set foot in my work in 4 months and only am going back 4 days a month to keep my skills up. But honestly...I would give everything up for him To be able to see us everyday an watch his girls grow up .

fancefpp · August 2013

Baby brag: DS2 smiles and coos all the time. He's so sweet. He also STTN and eats like a champ during the day.

Mommy brag: I've managed to get out of the house with 2u2 most of the summer! This is big for me

Life brag: we are going to the Cape next week and celebrating DS1 2nd bday!!

MrsM1111 · August 2013

Abbie is such an adaptable baby. Doesn't fuss when other people hold her, loves to be out and about when we run errands and can sleep through just about anything. She's such an easy going calm girl!

Last night husband told me how I've been doing a great job with her. Not sure if he's being biased but I do hope he's right.

helenkayj · August 2013

Baby brag: J is a very good baby. We went to a BBQ where there was another baby about his age and his parents kept commenting on how good of a baby J is!

He's also a tall big boy and I love it. He's in the 99% for length which I know means nothing at this point in his life but I think it's awesome.

Mommy brag: I'm a calmer FTM than many. Germs, stimulation, eating habits, etc don't really faze me cuz I know it'll all come with time... and besides, I'll just send him to public school and have the teachers there fix him! (I'm a teacher, so I can make that joke)

Life brag: My parents have been so scattered in the last 6-8 years. They've lived in Paraguay and a couple different states just in the last 6 years. I'm proud of the fact that it was my baby and my brother's marriage that made them settle down a few hours from us.

jedimindtrick · August 2013

Baby Brag: seems we are all saying similar things! I have an easy baby. He's happy and fun. And he is strong too. Does great at tummy time and loves to stand too. He's also a chatterbox.

Mommy brag: I got back to exercising this week! Yay! I have been doing PT with LO for his torticollis. It's a lot of work and were making progress. So I'm proud of myself for working hard at it.

Life brag: not really a brag but my family comes to visit in two weeks (second time since LO was born) and I'm excited!

brandi3207 · August 2013

Baby brag: ds loves to talk to anyone and e everything. The dog and baby carried on a coversation last night which was pretty hilarious! Ds loves to snuggle and gives mommy such amazing smiles. He now goes to bed at night awake and puts himself to sleep at two months.

I've been making homemade dinners several
times a week. I've been working full time since my son was 5.5 weeks. I'm getting some special time in with dh. We are also getting creative for spending time together since we are cutting back on spending.

Dh brag: he's an amazing father. He knows lo always comes first. I was worried about his video game habit but he only plays if lo is content or sleeping otherwise it gets turned off. He makes sure to get in play time and tummy time with lo everyday. He will change
And feed baby no problem. And on weekends he feeds and takes care of baby soI can sleep in. 10 am on saturday and sunday are wonderful.

snowgirl427 · August 2013

Baby brag : Jameson has such a great disposition. He cries very little and I so interactive. He is also incredibly handsome!

Mommy brag: I'm starting to get into a good rhythm and getting house stuff down along with baby stuff each day.

Life: we have an amazing life filled with a ton of love. While I wish I could be a SAHM I'm happy to have a well paying job that enables me to work from home and provide for my family.

sugarmamma · August 2013

Baby Brag: P is such a sweetie. She smiles huge smiles and coos at me lots. Mommy Brag: This mama cleaned the house and worked out 4 times last week. Life Brag: Watching DD#1 play and sing to DD#2 melts my heart.

coyette · August 2013

Baby Brag - Charlotte is such a happy girl. She loves to smile and stand up and down with help on my lap. When I sing to her she coos and squeals right along with me like we are singing together and it just melts my heart. She is an amazing sleeper and has been sleeping through the night since around 5 weeks!

Mommy Brag - I am really starting to love being a SAHM. I successfully did all of my husband and I's laundry today as well as baby girl's laundry! I've also been able to move on past the guilt and terrible feelings of not being able to breastfeed. It was pretty rough for awhile.

Life Brag - I have the best husband in the world. He rushes home from work each day and helps me all evening and night with Charlotte. He just can't get enough of her. We are also starting the beginnings of buying a house!

CNJ4EVA · August 2013

Baby brag: DD handled getting her shots today exceptionally well IMO. Ten minutes of crying (two five minute episodes) and she's been sleeping ever since. I'll take it! She's also figuring out how to guide the pacifier back into her mouth on her own when it falls out.

I don't think DH or I have done anything too brag-worthy of late.

kmcd23 · August 2013

Baby Brag - I love how social G is. He loves to interact with people. He's also started mimicking me when I stick out my tongue. It's his favorite game, and he's so cute when he's that happy!

Mommy Brag - I'm keeping up with laundry, doing better with meals, and getting out of the house every day. I started working out again - walking hills, yoga, and lunges while I hold him. It feels good.

Life Brag - I'm feeling very blessed that I'm able to stay home, that we're moving to a nicer home in 3 weeks, and that I'm flying home to visit family in a month. Even more blessed that we are in a position to comfortably purchase plane tickets for my family to come visit us as well.

pnutg · August 2013

Baby brag- my son is gorgeous. Even strangers say so

Mommy brag- friends always comment on how clean my house is. And 3 couples came over last night and asked if they could hire me to come over and decorate their houses.

Life brag- my husband adores me. He drives me nuts but I have to remember to be grateful because no matter how I act, he truly likes me.

mylovelyll · August 2013

Baby brag - my son is an excellent communicator, and always smiling. He practically burps himself now and farts with a smile, after the first few weeks of silent grimace gas sessions (hard to watch, but at least he never cried). Everyone comments on what an easy baby he is, and he will let anyone hold him while he smiles up at them. I love how responsive he is to the world around him. He has also gained weight well since his 5 lb discharge fom the hospital (arrived 5 weeks early), he now weighs over 12 pounds and went from 0% in all categories to 33% height, 18% weight He now sleeps 6-8 hour stretches every night, too. We went on vacation last week and he slept well in the car (6 hours each way, did not cry or fuss once), in hotels (same) and in restaurants (so far he has required attention only once out of 20 restaurant visits). i am pinching myself and constantly knocking on wood. Even for a brag thread, I realize mine seems extra obnoxious. I really try to not brag in person except around my mom and husband. Mommy brag- I keep the house clean and organized, walk 4 miles about 4x a week, have visited with lots of friends and family, and have mastered cloth diapers. I have not even used one disposable since we started cloth at 2 weeks old (now 11 weeks). Plenty of things to not brad about, but I will save those items for another thread. Life brag - my mom is an amazing grandmother, mother-in-law and mom. She is going to watch my son when I return to work in a couple weeks, and she prepares wonderful healthy meals for the family. Both she and my husband love our baby as much as I do, which is hard to believe because I love him more than anything. My husband is really wonderful to me, as well, so loving and supportive and he makes me feel sexy even though I am losing the baby weight at a snail's pace.
