Thanks @calikat80 and @subliminalrabbit. I thought the tongue thrust reflex would have been gone by 6 months. At least he's not the only one refusing solids!
@majwv8 I'm doing the exact same thing. My printer is half busted though and only 3/4 of my labels printed out. I'm going to be hand addressing them all afternoon.
Gah I love having an office with lockable doors and blinds in my windows. I'm so much more non-work productive this way.
Just finished up our Christmas cards. Hand addressed every one of them. Stinks. But I also did this during work. Half of my day is my students watching the Crucible. We just finished studying it.
My grandmother swears K signed for milk yesterday. We've only been doing the sign for maybe a week...I don't know if I should believe it.
I wouldn't be surprised. My LO is becoming quite the parrot. She's doing things all the time that we are doing if you have consistently been making the sign it's definitely possible.
@pinkpuffyheart2 Who is he to get mad at you for saying it needs to be equal?! Parenting as a couple IS EQUAL. That is so dumb, and if I were you I would put your foot down and find out why the hell he has been acting so shady.
My husband has a tendency to just not say things. Not tell me he stopped by a friends house before coming home from work for example. Nothing that is causing me to question his faithfulness to me. I trust my husband in that regard. But his mentality is if I don't ask he's not lying he's just not saying anything. So maybe asking is best. But like PP have said I would wait until after the holidays. Just in case it's a fight or a response you don't want to hear. Enjoy the holidays with your LO.
WOW! It makes it even more intense seeing it. This is awful. So sorry. I'd be a big old disaster on their asses. They would never want to do that to me. Give them hell.
PEEKABOO!! It is 20 degrees, I didn't realize he had wormed his way out!
I can't help but think it's the cutest thing ever when my LO decides she does not want to be covered up in her pumpkin seat. Love it when she pokes out.
@kames12 Eww on the snow. We got about 7 on Saturday, and it continued to flurry Sunday. And, then we got another inch last night. Really, I shouldn't complain. The last 2 years we haven't had a real Michigan winter. We have barely gotten any snow at all. But, if this is any indication... we are clearly going to be making up for it this year. Boo.
Ohio here. Same snow pattern as you. Last two years basically nothing. This year has be nervous already. I'm a school teacher too. We have already used 2 of our 5 allotted days for the whole school year. It's going to be a short summer making up our days I can tell.
I LOVE A CHRISTMAS STORY! We are having a slumber party Christmas Eve with the kids, eating junk food and watching it. @subliminalrabbit I actually lol'ed.
So I just sat dd down with lunch, and when she saw it she said "Oooh! Holy shit mom!"
nah man, I'm a friends fanatic she got as far as being on the plane, but stayed (which is probably best for Emma, I mean, what was she thinking? I know it's Gucci, but come on!)
There are so very many words, and I have been reading them as much as I can...so I'll just sneak in here and drop the CHRISTMAS IS RIDICULOUS FOR PRESCHOOLERS. DS is so frigging hopped up on Santa and sugar that his behavior is off. the. charts. We are seeing meltdowns of epic proportions that make me want to take all his gifts back. Also, kid, waking me up at 5:15 every morning will not make Christmas come sooner.
OMG. This has been my life since before Thanksgiving. I have never wished Christmas would hurry up, but dang I don't know if I can make it through another week of this!
OMG there is ONLY a week left. I'm freaking out about not having enough time. Sorry your LO's are out of sorts. I can only imagine...
I s'mores. I've been "making" them daily by nuking them for 15s and then hitting them with the creme brûlée torch to char them a little.
Nom nom.
It's more fun to do over a fire, but I need my fix!
I make "s'machos" - s'more nachos. Break up the graham crackers on the lines and scatter them on a baking sheet to be like the chips. Then scatter milk chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the top. Put it under the broiler until the chips are melted and the marshmallows are golden brown. Eat like nachos.
I don't know if you remember, but they released the finale episode on DVD like the day after it aired and I went out and bought it. Their marketing tactics got me, I don't think I've watched it since! and I probably paid $10 for a DVD with one episode of a show on it.
No one ever tells you your own child will give you baby fever! I keep coming up with really lame excuses for why we need to be TTC already. "Everyone on June '13 is!"
I have my moments where this seriously crosses my mind. Last night my husband leans over to me all seductive like and says, "hey let's give Abigail a brother." And the reality of him being on that page (even jokingly) shocked me and scared me straight. lol. (We broke our rut by the way). I really do know that I want to wait until after summer, but after that we will be actively trying again for a brother....or sister.
Santa wrapped our Christmas presents, but he had different wrapping paper than my parents. He didn't use the "to/from" tags either. He just wrote your name on the wrapping paper in big capital letters with a sharpie. Looking back, I should have thought that was weird. Not sure what I will do for my kids. Technically I have a year to really decide..
Santa's stuff was always wrapped different in my house. There were fancy name tags on them though. But my brother and I had our own sides of the tree. All presents on one side were mine. All on the other were his. Everything in the front middle were for my parents.
Is anyone else's LO keep pushing food out with their tongue? We started oatmeal maybe 2 weeks ago and avocado today, but everytime we give it to him, he sticks out his tongue and it all comes out! Does this just mean he isn't ready yet?
I would say probably. That gag reflex is one of the signs that they aren't ready. My little one spits some out, but she is definitely leaning into the spoon trying to get it off. More of it stays in her mouth than comes out. She is totally into us eating though. She's watching and learning and I think she's getting it. I don't think it would hurt to keep trying to get her used to it though. But I wouldn't get upset if she doesn't take it.
My friend was going to come visit today and bring lunch. It's part lunch time and she's conveniently not answering the phone. Boo to another boring lunch at home.
I am crying at the drop of a hat this week. It is really effing annoying. Too little pumped milk and almost no stash, 10 minute cry. DH says something slightly insensitive, cry and go wrap presents at other end of the house. Thinking about traveling and no sleep, cry. I need to go watch Friends and some of those guilty pleasure movies.
Ugh Seinfeld. You don't like it @melOHdy because they are a bunch of whining and self absorbed asses. I just don't like shows where I can't relate to anyone or wouldn't want to be RL friends with any of the characters and that is the epitome of Seinfeld to me. Mean spirited but not in a funny way.
Look who Ben had a play date with today... It's @HeartLikeMine3 's Grayson!!! BTW, these two (mom & Grayson) are just as sweet IRL as on the Internet. Double bonus.
