So I know I just started posting again, and I'm sure we could all use some refreshers.
How about a march mama/baby check in? How's everyone's LO doing? What kind of shenanigans are they getting into these days? Any takers?

Re: Check ins?
Ds was born 3/8/13 and is relatively healthy. Other than the FTT that is -- he weighed in at almost 13lbs11oz this morning on my rented baby scale. He wears 12mo onesies and 6mo pants. He has a long torso and short arms and legs.
Ds is behind on milestones so I'm still enjoying a baby that stays where I put him. He rolls over front to back and back to front but will not roll places. He has figured out how to blow raspberries and fortunately he only does them with his mouth empty. I am still waiting to find out who gets the first puree shower when he decides to blow the raspberry with his mouth full.
He also makes the funniest face: he sticks both of his index fingers into his mouth by the cheeks and sticks his tongue out in the middle. He did that right before he got his last heel poke for a blood draw at one of his recent appointments.
He also likes to rub his open mouth on my cheek like he's trying to give me a kiss but doesn't quite know how.

I love those kisses! Dd gives nice wet wide open mouth kisses lolShe just started "clapping" today! She doesn't make a noise but she does the motion. There is always something new!
She was born with a full head of hair but it was thin and short. It is starting to fill out.
She is getting faster at cruising and walking while holding our hands.
She will babble and I will mimick her. I can tell that she tries to think up different sounds to give me but they are all just variations of "b" sounds LOL. She makes other sounds but most of her babbling revolves around "b" and when we play that game that is all she can think of to stump with
She is seriously the funniest person I know! She is such a happy baby it amazes me but she def has some attitude. That she is in no way afraid to show haha. Interestingly enough, everything I've read says that babies raised in a bilingual household (my husband speaks Spanish to her) tend to be delayed speech wise and Cami seems to be just the opposite! She babbles a TON but I am convinced she has been saying mama and dada with purpose for at least a month now. She def has the gift of gab
I am a tad obsessed with me kid, too. I hate to say it but I'm turning a little into that mom that is just all about her kid. But it's so hard not to be!
She loves reading. Super fast crawling. Pulling to stand.
She is also FTT. She was born small- perfect and 5lbs 15oz. She was always at 5% and fine. Now she has only gained 1/2lb in almost 3 months. She has had a lot of tests. Some specialists think she is just tiny and Perfect. Some still suspect something is up because she eats way more than she needs but won't gain. She also has milk and soy allergies.
Other than that, she is absolutely perfect and gorgeous. We are completely in love with her
He's a big boy- over 25 lbs and over 30 inches (9mo is Dec 6th). DH's favorite phrase is "Scholarship?!?" He's been in 12mo clothes for a while- might have to move up soon! He JUST started crawling- maybe within the past week. I knew he'd do it when he was ready. No pulling up yet, though. He also just cut his top left tooth two days ago. He got his bottom two at 3 months!
No words yet, but he knows quite a few signs and names of things. For as active as he is, it's fun to catch him "studying" things and people. I think he'll be good at figuring things out eventually (maybe bad news for me)!!!
As a FTM/SAHM, I'm so blessed and thankful to get to experience DS every day- I love every second of it!!
My DS, born March 12, is so unbelievable active. Just yesterday we went to the ped's office and he ripped up all of the paper on the table and then found the roll and unraveled it. I felt so bad leaving the room in such a disaster. I tried to clean what I could, but I am just hopeful other babies have done that too. Even the ped kept saying over and over how active and strong he was. LOL! He weighs 17lbs and is long - maybe around 29-30".
His latest thing that makes me laugh is how he likes to stand on his changing table. I used to fit it, but just gave up. I am learning to put a diaper on a standing baby now.
Every day is an adventure with him. I am really glad that I decided to become a SAHM. I never thought I would have made that choice with how important my career was, but I wouldn't trade in any days with my DS for a second. Some days might seem lonely (esp. b/c DH travels a lot), but thanks goodness for other mommy friends I've made out there and this lovely message board!

DH and I just took our first long weekend without LO. Didn't realize until we were lounging in our hotel room how much we really needed it. We did really good not calling grandma every hour to see how LO was doing. Did notice how awkward life was without her...you just get so used to eating faster, entertaining the baby instead of adult conversations, waking up at 5:30a, etc, etc.
Anyways, DD is really coming into her own! She will laugh along with you and when asked, "how big is Bradlee?" she will put her arms over her head "sooo big!" Love watching her concentration as she figures out toys and the remote! Now I have 2 people I fight for the remote with!! (little trick: find your show then take a battery out of the remote before giving to LO - now they can play but not change your channel)
REALLY close to saying "cat." Pretty sure this will be her first recognizable word. She's been saying MaMa for awhile, but not necessarily in reference to me. If you ask her where's mama, she'll look for me which is heart melting. LOVE having her say "mama" which she does, then have her say "dada" and she makes a gurggly-hiss noise. Cracks me up!
Still working on the movement. I know we probably slacked on the tummy time, so trying to make up for lost time. Think she may skip the crawling for walking. She likes to stand holding onto the couch. When something is out of reach, she'll look down at her feet as if she's willing them to move. You will then see her little toes move and a small shuffle of her foot.
Ugh, so in love and loving every minute!!! I'm totally addicted to loving Bradlee Paige!!!
She has recently started refusing puréed food, she will eat some table food and loves the Gerber puff and crunchies.
She fits in 9 month clothes and can even wear some 12 month! Growing way too fast!
My DS was born 5 weeks early on March 10th (what a surprise that was when my water broke!) We were a bit worried about his weight, but he quickly made up for lost time and is currently a very healthy 20 pound bundle of love.
He is so close to crawling! He'll rock on hands and knees but seems uncertain what's supposed to happen next and ends up in his belly. And will then roll around like a crazy baby. He pulls up though and we wonder if he'll skip crawling and just walk instead. He claps very enthusiastically, but doesn't yet wave. He says dada and mama, but not in reference to us yet. He definitely recognizes some words like daddy, mommy, teddy, up, puffs (ha!), car, puppy, peekaboo.
He's a very happy baby and nearly everything will make him giggle (example: I was making my sock say achoo and he was laughing his head off). He's curious, loves to explore and will study new things very closely. He loooves the bath and interacting with his toys in the tub. He still wakes up about twice a night to eat, but I don't mind--I realize how quickly my baby is growing and I cherish the middle of the night snuggles.
He's not super into purees, but loves food! Yogurt, puffs, baby crackers, bananas....whatever we're eating! He's pretty enthusiastic, but is still mainly bf'ing.
I'm also a FTM and currently a SAHM and it has been one hell of a ride so far! He cracks me up every single day and is such a ray on sunshine:)
