1. Lately DD has been doing this cute thing where she puts her cheek to her shoulder when she walks. She's been adding a kissing sound too.
2. We're kinda working on DD going down the stairs. We aren't really excited about this, but she is very interested in the stairs. We're just holding her and trying to get her to scoot down the stairs.
3. DD's laundry is separate 99% of the time. MIL washes DD's laundry when she watches her on Wednesdays.
4. DD's crib transitions into a toddler bed and then a full size bed. It's hard for me to put her in her crib with my growing baby bump, but I'm thinking that she will stay in her crib until her 2nd birthday, maybe later.
1. what cute characteristic does your LO that cracks you up
2. What skill/ development are you working on with you LO
3. Do you separate baby laundry from your laundry?
4. At what age do you "guess/think" you will move baby from crib?
1. Her new thing is saying "oooh" with her lips pursed while she does it so cute and she blows kisses at everyone now and says bye bye and waves when leaving!!!
2. We are working on more words and being gentle with the cats cause right now her petting is actually hitting and while one cat tolerates it I would much rather her not hit him
3. Always, easier for me
4. I'm not sure but her crib also turns into a toddler bed
1. what cute characteristic does your LO that cracks you up: Dancing herself to sleep, she bops around on the mattress and wiggles her head
2. What skill/ development are you working on with you LO: Nothing, we let her go at her own pace. That being said in the past two weeks she has started trying to use the spoon by herself and walking.
3. Do you separate baby laundry from your laundry? Yes.
4. At what age do you "guess/think" you will move baby from crib? Thinking of converting to a toddler bed in the next couple months. She can get in and out of our bed, which is much higher than her crib, by herself pretty well. So I'm not worried about her falling out of the toddler bed.
1. She will stand in the middle of the living room and pull the following pose (it had me in tears last night) :
Chin to chest, hands curled under chin, belly out, eveil grin eyes hooded yet looking at you and then she laughs like a maniac... HAHAHAAHAH I wish I could get a picture!!!
2. Getting DOWN stairs
3. SO far yes but might start doing her whites with ours.. I suck at laundry and feel like her clothes are looking dingy and worn
4. I would like to work at it in 6 months or so but it all depends.. her room isn't kid safe enough right now
1. what cute characteristic does your LO that cracks you up
Says owwwww it's so cute how his lil mouth goes. And kisses, he gives great kisses on my cheek... Then try's to bite usually after a while of it. Or how he wrinkles up his nose and blows air out it. Adorable.
2. What skill/ development are you working on with you LO
He's found his nose and tongue, I'm trying to teach them by name. When I say nose he touches his or mine. Also trying to teach "down" he knows up and is starting to understand down.
3. Do you separate baby laundry from your laundry?
99% of the time yes. Sometimes a couple pieces get in with ours. Currently I have a whole basket of his to do.
4. At what age do you "guess/think" you will move baby from crib?
Not a clue.. 2-3? Mostly depends on how badly he starts climbing to get out and when he can it will be taken to the toddler bed.
1. what cute characteristic does your LO that cracks you up - waves at every ceiling or floor fan. He will grunt when he wants it turned on.
2. What skill/ development are you working on with you LO - speech in general.
3. Do you separate baby laundry from your laundry? - hell no. Never have.
4. At what age do you "guess/think" you will move baby from crib? - hoping around 18 months or slightly earlier. We have 2 cribs, so won't be a HUGE problem if he disagrees after the new LO arrives, but DD was in a bed at 18 months, and I'd like DS to follow suit.
1. what cute characteristic does your LO that cracks you up
Daycare gives Nilla Wafers as a snack once or twice a week. V LOVES them. When he sees them come out he giggles and flaps his arms in excitement. Then if you ask how many cookies do you want he says "woo" and attempts to hold up 2 fingers on each hand. When you give him 2 he giggles and runs off!
2. What skill/ development are you working on with you LO
A few--- Going down the stairs (he has mastered going up!)
Putting words with signs-- doing pretty well, but he tends to sign first.
Pointing to his own body parts. He can get mommy's eyes, nose , hair, ears, etc but has trouble doing it for his own.
And..... Sleeping through the night! (Although he'a getting much better) Jeese... Am I the only one left?
3. Do you separate baby laundry from your laundry?
Yes bc Grandma does his laundry on Saturdays.
4. At what age do you "guess/think" you will move baby from crib?
Wasnt really a thought until my positive test on Fri! Now I guess we will try to move him to a toddler bed in July (19 months). Daddy loves this... Wants to get him a car bed which I was opposed to since crib concerts to toddler bed and then full size bed. However, a new baby will now occupy the crib so... Daddy wins! A car bed it will be.
