Re: *~*~Infant Check in 11/15*~*~
Milestones: He is up on all fours for longer periods of time! He's so close to crawling but not quite yet. He's almost got 4 teeth now, I can see the 4th but isn't completely busted through.
Challenges: Eating solids and sippy cup. He loves baby food but anything other than that makes him make faces. We are at stage 2 baby food so hoping things will get better when we move to stage 3. Sippy cups I'm learning are just challenging so hopefully that will just take time.
Funny/cute stories: He screams when I'm on the phone. Not an upset scream but like he wants whoever I'm talking to to hear him. It's so cute and now he's putting his toy phone up to his ear......maybe I'm on the phone too much! LOL!
QOTW: Do you have any christmas traditions you are excited to do/start with LO?
Milestones: first nap today without a swaddle is a success!! Hoping the rest of the day and night is just as smooth
Challenges: getting her to like the swing more (from 5-7 pm before bedtime while were hanging out downstairs) - she only likes it if she's half asleep and at that point I'd rather her nap in the crib.
Funny/cute stories: she smiles so big I feel like she's trying to say something or talk. She also initiated dad into the "I got pooped on club"
QOTW: Do you have any christmas traditions you are excited to do/start with LO? We're going to start Hanukkah with her tonight and light the candles together

Third BFP (surprise at Beta draw after d&c) on 1/10/14 (15dpo), EDD 9.20.14 Please be our RAINBOW!
Milestones: nothing new really. She wants to be more upright when she's awake and likes to look at everything.
Challenges: She decided this week that she no longer likes tummy time. We set her down and she will push herself up and cry. She just wants me to hold her all the time again. Boo. At least the gas issue has been better this week.
Funny/cute stories: DH and I voted in the run-off election here today. When DH went through, he put an "I voted" sticker on her stomach and congratulated her on voting for the first time. Super cute.
QOTW: Do you have any christmas traditions you are excited to do/start with LO?
We do Hanukkah and Christmas. For Hanukkah we go to a party thrown by my mom and her so's havarah group. They have food, light the menorah, and do a white elephant book exchange. On Christmas, we usually have a Russian orthodox dinner on Christmas Eve. I want to start doing something charitable on Christmas day when she gets older as a tradition, too.

My Pregnancy/Parenting BLOG TTC since 5/2011, BFP #1 12/3/11, M/C 12/7/11 @ 4wks 2d. Began seeing RE Sep 2012. October 2012 Metformin 1500 mg= ovulation on CD34 BFP#2 11/14/12 9DPO, EDD 7/26/13, DX Gestational Diabetes @14 wks, our angel born sleeping 3/24/13 @ 22wks 2d. BFP #3 7/4/13 8DPO EDD 3/22/14, DX Gestational Diabetes @14 wks. started insulin @16 wks. Our rainbow, born 3/19/14 @ 39wks 6d., we're so in love!
Milestones: We've started testing out a few solid foods (with the ok from our pediatrician who said R. was ready). So far, he really likes carrots and bananas. Sweet potatoes and peas were not so yummy, but we'll keep trying. We're just doing little tastes here and there and keeping it really low key.
Challenges: The four-month sleep regression that the ladies on my BMB swore was a myth. Well, not in our house! We had three weeks of middle-of-the-night drama, but I think we're getting back on track now. Phew.
Funny/cute stories: He's made some pretty funny faces and noises after trying his new foods - they have made us laugh out loud. He even said "bleh" after eating peas - purely coincidental, I am sure, but it was funny.
QOTW: Do you have any christmas traditions you are excited to do/start with LO?
Hunting for and cutting down our tree (we get a permit to do so each year). We already did that a couple of weeks ago. Also, we drive around looking at Christmas lights each year.

@docamy2011 he's going to be crawling in no time! Hopefully he gets the hang of the sippy cup soon and that the progression to stage 3 food is smooth.
@meagpt22 so sorry about the.gas pains. My LO is also having a hard time with it and nothing seems to be helping. Hopefully both LOs get relief soon. I will say I am so jealous of your sleeping baby mine only sleeps long stretches if laying on my chest. But I also don't work so I hope it continues to get better for you.
@kaylam714 oh my baby cuteness overload with that pic!!!! I am hoping the umbilical stub fell off but if not how did the appt go?
@HorseLover11 i hope LO continues to sleep well unswaddled for you.
@Happyin14 i will say I some days skip tummy time with my LO because she hates it so much. I hope your LO loves tummy time, but I get snuggling on the couch 100% it is the best!
@classicstar28 i hope your LO grows to like tummy time. Mine hates it but people keep saying one day she will learn to like it and not cry (I keep hoping its soon).
@angelsnight I am sure very soon she will figure those legs out and start crawling everywhere! Looks like to may have a wrestling fan on your hands!
@2redtulips how fun to do baby food! If your doing baby food that means my LO isn't far behind ( makes me sad y are growing up so fast). I can only imagine all the faces with the new tastes!

He adored bananas, and yellow veggies like carrots and squash seem to be ok.
