So does anyone else's baby frantically put things in their mouths? I know there's the oral phase, but she's just so frantic about it

This is how Colton got his nick name, "Little Goat". He wants to eat everything!

Is babycaps' LO the only baby that actually has a tooth/teeth?
Actual teeth - not teething or suspected teething - but teeth.

My DD had teeth at about 4-4.5 months but DS1 didn't get one in until 8-8.5 months.
LO's canines are looking like they might be our first teeth here this time around, but they haven't broken the surface yet.

Colton is 16 weeks today and you can feel his bottom two front teeth. They just broke through. I haven't been a ble to get in there to look around yet he gets pissed off every time I try.

Congrats @DisneyAddict1‌

Today Layla had a giant poop. It was on my shirt and pants. So I got us both cleaned up and then we went for a walk around town. I still had poop all up my arm.

1. Lo just pooped and the lady cutting my fabric is slower than slow

2. The same lady said "cute baby what is it a boy or a girl. Is it a good baby. Does it sleep through the night?"

Yeah I would have been irked by this!

ProudMommy030614 · July 2014

@torilea‌ that sounds normal to me. Wait until you give grapes or raisins for the first time

@WisconsinCheese12‌ sounds like that lady was trained by the one in the fabric dept that I go to!

I have foot in mouth disease...first night out with friends leaving baby with a babysitter and I totally pissed off a friend. I really didn't mean to and I apologized but it got so awkward and she got up and they (her & her husband) left. I don't know what to do...maybe send her a card.

ProudMommy030614 · July 2014

I was just hanging my first load if laundry on the line with no shoes on, and what do I step on? A friggen slug :-q bleck so friggen gross!

karen31186 · July 2014

Is it ok to give LO cold formula from the fridge? I saw several people say something about LO drinking cold BM or formula in the useless items thread. Making bottles up in advance and not having to warm them to room temperature would be awesome.

walkek85 · July 2014

I have a question about the ticker at the bottom of my post. I have gone in several times and deleted the pregnancy ticker and added a birthday ticker and badge but still my pregnancy ticker shows up in my posts. What am I doing wrong?!? Can someone point me in the right direction on how to figure this out?

ProudMommy030614 · July 2014

He's a big fan of Hooters!

The seatbelt was only undone for the pic to AW his CD

I was 1.3k posts behind and that just wasn't going to happen, so I'm jumping back in here.
Hellloooo ladies!

BTBergstrom · July 2014

Alright so we were chatting about babies yadda yadda she's prego with her second. A guy friend was talking about our her sister & brother in law. They can't have kids but they have adopted. He was asking her if they wanted another yadda yadda and then He brought up surrogacy and that he knew someone who was a surrogate for a family member. Here's where I pipe up and say hey you could do. She got really pissed off and was like that's not funny and that she has considered it. I really didn't mean it as funny it was just more of a statement. I apologized but she was super upset got up from the group and walked off and made her husband pay the check and they left. I tend to put my foot in my mouth a lot and speak my mind(I have gotten better over the years though)...I really didn't mean what I said to be funny but she took it that way. I think I will just send her a card I really don't know how to make it better. I was shocked by how mad she got as was the guy friend who was sitting there and brought up the whole surrogacy convo.

BTBergstrom · July 2014

Yea maybe pregnancy hormones

I swear, I'm about to just take Ellie and move. My H has been working a lot (finishing up his 2 weeks at his old job and starting his new one) and so today he got a day off, but he had to have someone take his shift in order to have it. He told me that he wanted to spend the day with me and Ellie because he feels like he hasn't seen us in a while. So he spends a couple of hours hanging out with her, then goes "oh, by the way, Dillon asked me to go meet up with him and a bunch of the guys and some girls at BWW to watch soccer so I'm going". Fucking seriously? I haven't gotten a break of more than an hour in 4 freaking months, but you're ditching me AGAIN to go hang out with your friends, who you've seen more since Ellie was born that you have the entire time we've been together? So we get into a fight and he says some hurtful things, including that he feels like he never gets a break from work and being a dad and I can just do whatever I want all day long. Yeah, I could, but guess what? I'm taking care of OUR daughter. And lets just discuss for a minute the fact that as soon as you get home from work every day, you throw your work clothes all over the house and sit on the couch and watch Dexter for 4 hours at a time, then get upset if I ask you to take the baby so I can pee or help me out when she's been crying for hours and I need 5 minutes to calm down. And after all of that, he STILL left.

I love him, but I don't know how much longer I can take it. I'm hurting and becoming VERY depressed again, and sometimes I feel like it would just be easier if I didn't have to deal with him.

ETA: I've been trying so hard to work with him since Ellie was born to resolve these issues, and he always says he'll work on it - which he does, for about a day, then goes back to what he was doing.

Sorry you are having to deal with this. ((Creepy internet hugs)) I have been feeling the same way about my H. As soon as he left for his work trip this morning, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I will only have to take care of one baby this week, instead of two. In my experience, absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. But it seems like your H has been absent a lot, which is not good.

TB sucks!! Have you been going in from the community board preferences or from profile preferences?

From profile preferences, editing my avatar and sig. How do you go in from the community board. Sorry, I'm still learning everything on here.

theluckiest9 · July 2014

Sorry you guys are having a tough time with your husbands. :-/

My parents moved in with us last night. Should be interesting. If my dad shuts a door loudly when my kid is sleeping and wakes her up one more time we may have words. It's only for 4-6 weeks. That'll have to be my mantra for the next month.

ProudMommy030614 · July 2014

I am really sorry for all of the man trouble going around, hugs. Mh did the same thing after our first LO. I woke up one day fed up and left him with LO for a full 24 hours, and the only contact I gave them was a note on the dining room table saying when I would be back. After those 24 hours he was a changed man and Dad.

mamamia866 · July 2014

Going to Block Island with my mom, sister, and LO tomorrow. This should be interesting. Any advice for day trips? I've been EBF for a couple of weeks since I've been home. I would rather not have to carry milk with me so I don't have as many bags. I bought a mini fan to geri-rig to the stroller. Diaper bag has extra clothes, diapers, etc.

Edit: Anything I'm missing?

@torilea.. I totally understand how you feel. DH is so fucking useless most days. Like just now, Addison had a hard time falling asleep so I had to stop two times from making myself something to eat. What does he do? Sit on his ass an watch t.v. When he is home from work he's usually in his office on his computer and I have to ask him to do shit. I obviously don't have much advice but just know you aren't the only one dealing with this. We've had sex twice since Addy was born and I barely get a hug anymore.

So now I get to go eat my gross turkey dogs because I'm starving!

Do we have the same husband? I swear mine is completely oblivious to anything besides his TV and computer. And anytime I say I need more help I get "I think we should hire a nanny."

We don't need a fucking nanny. I need you to parent.

@torilea‌ I'm really sorry you're struggling like this. You're not alone. And even though his job is important, he needs to set his priorities. If making the marriage work is a priority he needs to find the time for counselling.

Ahutch428 · July 2014

@torilea I'm sorry about your husband. I get frustrated with my DH sometimes for just being oblivious to the challenges of being home with LO. If you ever need to vent, or talk I would love to meet you for lunch, or at a park or something, or you can come over to my house.

Ahutch428 · July 2014

Me too!

ProudMommy030614 · July 2014

Still bump crushing on @babycaps‌

Look at my boy! I know you guys are all way ahead of this, but Will has suddenly made huge strides. He's holding his head up! He was 5 months on the 12th. We have been working so hard.

She's chosen to leave TB for a while, she felt isolated & judged when she posted here. Sad. I feel like posting "can't we just all get along" like a whiny kid sometimes....BUT if you want I think she'll be checking her PM's occasionally.

I read back through everything and couldn't figure out what in the world got her so upset. This board has offered her tons of support. I'm sorry she felt she had to leave over people disagreeing with her opinion.

I think he's gaining weight really quickly. I'm really hopeful at next week's weight check they will let me take him off his high calorie diet. He's got to be over 10 lbs now!

I spent about 5 minutes clicking the last page on the thread hoping to reach the end. I gave up and went back to the March (2014!!) board and saw the very last page was available to click. Monday is kicking me pretty good so far!
