How old is baby / bump?
6 months and a week! She's turning into quite a little person.

Any big milestones?
She's ALMOST ALMOST ALMOST able to sit on her own. She still faceplants sometimes which is adorable. And she's finally figured out that kitties are for petting! She and Token got some snuggle time in last night on my lap ♥

Why is baby crying?
Her ears popped on the plane to and from California. Poor baby! Pressure changes are hard!

Pictures!
One is of her kitty snuggles last night. The other is of her trying peas for the first time! (We just started solids this past weekend.)

M is 3y5m. OMG, she's getting so big! She's clumsy like me, and is working through tantrums, and trying to use her words vs. crying because she doesn't like/want something.

B is almost 6 months! I can't freaking believe it. We've started solids (bananas, pumpkin, applesauce, and sweet potato), and he is TEETHING OMG. He's still coughing/congested from his previous cold/virus, which is a PITA. He is constantly coughing up stuff and it almost chokes him. I hate it. I want my healthy baby back! At least his pinkeye is gone... Ugh.

Pictures to follow.

How old is baby / bump?  M is 4y 2m,  J is 14 months , and incubating child is 22weeks. 

Any big milestones?  J is having a bit of a word explosion which is pretty fun because she says them with such excitement. She is also understanding a lot more which is nice. 

Why is baby crying?  M is crying because she gets caught doing things to her sister that she shouldn't be. J is crying because she is sick and its causing her to have a hard time sleeping.

My baby is 6 months old! He *just* figured out how to sit up unsupported a few days ago. He can do it for a while, until he gets distracted and slowly topples over. We are planning to start him on solids soon, though I don't know when since I'm never home anymore. I'm telling myself we're waiting until his doctors appointment next week but really I'm not sure when we'll fit in anything more.

Big sister is full of words and songs, energy, and love for her baby brother. She's also cutting her final molar. Lately she likes pretending to be a baby or a puppy, reading stories, and sometimes helping me/DH. 

No one in my house is sleeping much these days, least of all me. I'm ok with A's wakeups to nurse, but G's countless wakeups are killing all of us. She's been playing power games a lot lately and I think she's using lack of sleep plus potty "accidents" as a control/attention thing. It's made us really crabby and also stressed out as we're dealing with massive sleep deprivation.

So, a mixed bag all together. I'm hoping to sleep for a full night sometime before the end of 2016...

How old is baby / bump?
18 months

More and more words and easier to understand every day.  And, growing so fast! Also, finally past that 18 month cranky phase and extra happy and cute lately.  So stinking cute.


Why is baby crying?
He dropped his pacifier out of the crib, I'm leaving him at daycare.

8 months and 3 years 2 months

Little one is army crawling and getting up on her knees and rocking back and forth so real crawling is coming soon I think. She still doesn't sit up. She hates it when we try. Like will throw herself back mad. She will sit in bumbo for a bit but generally doesn't like that either. She doesn't mind high chair though...how many 8 month olds can still fit in a bimbo?! She's so little.

Older one is binky free now! She did amazingly well and I'm really happy we waited til we could reason with her and explain why. Next step is potty training. Doing that spring break of her preschool in a month and a half. Wish us luck .

Baby is crying bc she's sick and congested. I feel like its been about 2 months of sickness. I'm ready for healthy kids again. Older one is crying if she doesn't get her way (another cartoon).

alias you are giving me hope that there's light at the end of the tunnel...18 months? is that the magical number...although i've been burned before. i kept saying once the boy sits up...he'll be better....once he can crawl, he'll be happier...once he can walk, he won't be so needy...but nope. this boy just. needs. momma. and i've been so exhausted. i will admit, though, that my h has been very supportive and have "taken" the kids a lot more lately, allowing me to step back..which is hard, but i'm feeling better.

bjl hasn't peed overnight in....maybe 2 weeks? i'm so afraid to take off the diaper, though.
boy says SO many words. he said "bless you" the other day after i sneezed and i just about died. SO cute.

Nope.  It appears that 18 months a wonder week, sleep regression, night mare for most kids.

E has always been a pretty easy, happy baby.  At 18 months he went through a temper tantrumy (that's a word) stage and wasn't sleeping well.  He seemed to be past it and has been extra happy and cute.  But, I might have jinxed it b/c he was up at 5 this morning w/ a tummy ache, screaming and wanting to be held.
