Yeah I'm lucky we have the Target and the Walmart. Otherwise I would literally have nowhere to buy diapers and formula other than the grocery store or online
@kbooth412 Great that your husband feels that way, an you're on the same page. Put that unhelpful comment out of your mind and just continue to be grateful you have such a supportive family, immediate ad extended. That's so wonderful!
As PP said, it's a good example for LO, and only DH's opinion matters. Hugs, lady, hope your grandmother gets well soon
Little man has a slight cold and pink eye. I feel so bad. He must have gotten it from the Chiro as he doesn't go anywhere and we honestly don't leave the house much. So stupid
@janit368 Don't feel bad. Pink eye can occur with no exposure to someone with it. And colds happen. It sucks having a sick kid, but you can't prevent it. I hope LO is feeling better!
Pink eye can result from a slightly blocked tear duct. LOs cousin (4 days younger than him) got it from this...... I haven't looked into it but it's what the SIL says
Thanks @Sammy K@klkonwi he is pretty cheerful during the day. Not so much when he wakes up in the middle of the night with his eye stuck shut. Definitely viral not bacterial. BM does seem to be soothing it
^^we had an eye crusted shut from a blocked tear duct. It took a couple of days of wiping with a warm washcloth and massaging, but eventually cleared up.
@janit368 it may not even be pink eye. When LO gets a cold she gets green goop on her eye that crusts it shut. If the inside of the eye is not red it is just cold related.

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
I just ordered matching Christmas pj's for the family! I'm such a dork. I couldn't find any that had all the sizes I needed so LO and I will match and DS and DH will match. I can't wait to get them!
I am irrationally excited for LOs jumperoo (exersaucer, whatever its called) to arrive tomorrow or the next day. The car seat cover too. Somehow stuff for my baby has become more exciting to me than stuff for me
Anyone elses baby very strange around some people?? My LO will freak out, give the lip, and cry hard around some people. Dr said that's not suppose to happen until 7-8 months and that she is very bright for her age

LO does that too. I've noticed that she's developmentally ahead of DS at this age but I think it's common for girls. I just keep hoping she will be easier to potty train. [-O<
^^ i have also heard girls develop faster. I know my niece developed faster than my nephew (boy/girl twins). To the point my sister was concerned about him being delayed because all she could compare to was his sister and her bffs daughter. He catches up eventually
May LO has major stranger danger as well and he's a boy. I think there's just a huge range of behaviors and you have to look ahead and behind several months at this point depending on the kid. LO was early with smiles and social babbling so it makes sense to me that he's attached to mom and dad early. He's ridiculously behind on physical milestones. 100% opposite of my first boy.
My boy will go to anyone willing to hold him. Bonus points if that person is an old lady or has a beard. I didn't associate it with development, just thought I had a social kid. Meh, whatevs.
@virginiaunicorn11 I thought the same thing, but our poor kid has had people in his face since the day he was born. It's a good thing he's social because we have decent sized families on both sides and someone is constantly grabbing for him.
I actually want people to ask to hold LO, and I almost always let them unless he's sleeping or I know he is about to fall asleep. Since I stay at home, he doesn't see very many people, so I want to socialize him as much as I can (with people I know). I always let strangers talk to him in public, and if we are bowling or at a place where I know the people fairly well (example, if the bartender we always see at the taproom asked to hold him) I will hand him over. He sometimes looks a little uncertain, but he doesn't usually freak out. If he did, I'd take him back. But usually I just hang out nearby and smile at him to let him know its OK.
@mellymar totally agree with your philosophy and used to hand LO off a lot but for the last few weeks his little face just crumples when I do this and his eyes instant get red and watery. He still loves people talking to him or making faces at him but he doesn't want them to hold him. I hope its just s short phase, I'm not psyched about it. And he's insanely heavy.
DS, who is 3 now, hit the stranger, danger phase from 6-9 months. Nobody except my dh or I could hold him, or he'd scream bloody murder. My parents were always around him, but they couldn't even hold him. He'd smile and giggle at them as long as we were holding him. That was a long 3 months!

My kid cheeses and will go to anyone as well, I love it.
My LO seems willing to go to anyone and always has, thus far. I'm guessing daycare has only helped with that. I have noticed though that if she's very tired she's a little less tolerant. A freshly fed baby is always happiest in this house!
In other news, the most serious new skill in this house is pinching!!! Ouch! She doesn't know her own strength.

My LO loves to pinch too. Her favorite pinching toy? My boobs, especially the left one. Needless to say I've been very diligent on cutting her nails. @-)
Embarrassing moment of the day: so I thought my boobs were in check because I haven't leaked in weeks. I stopped wearing my nursing pads because the get all bunched up and whatever. We're having our gutters replaced today and the guy comes to the front door. I had been nursing LO so I popped the boob back in my shirt to answer the door. Have a couple minute discussion and then go to the bathroom. That's when I notice it. A giant milk stain around the other boob that she wasn't nursing on. Awkward?! No wonder he didn't want to make eye contact.

Pajama gram and sleepytime were 2 others, but adult pj's were $60 each and I spent $75 for all 4 at Target.
