PS Mommies Thread!

[Tacori E-ring]

iluv, she was such a cute baby! I see the resemblance though think T''s cheeks are even BIGGER. I have always had big cheeks though. Love the black and white.

puffy, I feel ya. She doesn''t like the stroller unless it is MOVING at all times. Drama. T has sucked on a lemon wedge so I guess we are okay with citrus.

Okay...is it just me or does T look way to old in this picture?

 

[iluvcarats]

This is her at 16 months. My son was a little chunky monkey butterball too!

 

[iluvcarats]

She still has the pigtails, but not the cheeks....

 

[lili]

Aweee Tacori and iluvcarats
The girls are soooo cute in their big girl pants!

I love how T is filling out her jeans!
And lil iluvcarats look so grown up with her shirt tucked in her khakis.

haha, i told dh that i''ve saved him a bundle since i''m not into shoes, bags and make-ups

j is doing better at daycare. she''s finally eating a bit (but not enough that i can go back to my one feeding at night schedule yet).
we are getting there.
no...not standing on her own yet. hehe, she doesn''t have the patience to stand still.
tries to move forward before she even have a good footing.
dh said that her mind is writing checks her body cannot cash.

little b must be running now like Tessa.
i love that pix of him in your avi btw.

 

[Jas12]

Oh i luv babies in jeans!!! Tacori, she really does look older in that pic! What a little pumpkin!


Lili--i am not sure if you are *supposed* to give those foods, but i do --but i am no expert

. I just give the 100% fruit/veg variety. No dairy for Cohen yet. I am severely intolerant and haven''t decided what to do yet. My dr. originally said to avoid it completely (even while nursing) but now with the string of new research that has come out she is saying the opposite. So frustrating and concerning for me b/c i suffer with bad eczema and other stuff and the last thing i want to do is pass that onto my kids. On the other hand i am a big foodie and want my children to be exposed to as many tastes and textures as possible so right now iam cautious with the stuff i am intolerant of and easy going about the rest. Only time will tell. Do you have any allergies?
--i can''t believe J is still not giving you any down time. I thought she would konk out now that she is crawling everywhere. Poor you--u must be exhausted. Are u still a night hawk?

Puffy, that''s scary about the citrus. Did you dr. say it was just introduced too early?

Lottie--welcome! This is a fun and happy thread! (and of course we want a pic-Neve is a lovely name BTW)

MrsM--yep, when i use my safari browser (i have a mac) i can never get my posts to ''stick'' i have to use Firefox. Try another browser and see if that helps

Thought i would add a "baby in jeans" pic (Co likes to belly sleep now so when we were travelling he would twist his body around to get comfy --showing off his Baby Mexx jeans

I think everyone else should post a babe in denim picture as well

 

[puffy]

tacori i love the pic! she is so darn cute! you are able to get pics of her in action! when B is up and about and he sees the camera, he sits down and poses

she is getting big. is T eating everything now? a lot of kids i know don't have reaction to anything, but i guess B wasn't so lucky. it's so funny that i have been waiting what seemed like forever for him to walk and run every where and now that he can, i kinda don't like it so much. it is definitely fun to watch. glad to hear that T took the sippy again! i keep meaning to say...i bet T really loves that chocolate cupcake

lili haha, it is definitely a money saver not being into these kinds of things. i sometimes wish i wasn't but, well, it's too late for that. that's good that J is eating more...small steps. she's learning to pick up her feet...that's really good! you are going to have an early walker.

iluv awww, your son was such a cute "butterball!"

jas12 awww, so cute Co is!! just so adorable. yup, the pedi said it was too early for citrus. oops, i guess i should have been paying more attention. so now when we go to restaurants and there is regular bread, i have to ask if there's any citrus in it, if the bread is made there, before i give it to B. i definitely don't want to go through that again.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I think she looks 16! Haha.

iluv, you have great pictures! Your sofa looks mighty comfy too.

Burk, how cute is co all twisted around!

Lili, glad J is doing better! How cute she is trying so hard to walk. We should take bets when she is going to start.

Puffy, T is the opposite of B. As soon as she sees the camera she runs. She will not pose anymore

But I guess that means I do get action shots but sometimes I just want her to sit still.

T went to bed easier tonight. Hopefully she will stay asleep. She was fussy today though. I feel bad for her.

 

[iluvcarats]

Thanks puffy lili and tacori! (it is a comfy sofa!)
I am sprinkling PS dust in hopes that all PS mommies get a good night sleep!

 

[Skippy123]

Sooo MANY CUTE BABY PICS, Oh my word!!!! Baby cuteness!!!

They are all so precious!!!

MRS. Salvo, Jake is darling; he is getting so big!!! His Teddy bear must be shrinking. hehe

Burk, I love your daughters cheeks, she is so tall, very cute!!

JAS12, ahhh, looks like a wonderful trip and Co is so darling and getting big!!!

sk8rjen ah, the twins are precious!!

Mrs. Mitchell, I love all that hair, your daughter is darling!

Ilovecarats, cute kiddos!!

Tacori, she is darling; she is growing so much and no longer looks like a baby. She looks like, I am off to have some fun, too cute!!! Love the belly. hehe

I can see she is growing into a young lady and I cannot believe it happened so fast.....

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Thanks Skip and Lor! She is no longer a baby. That''s for sure.

Anyone notice the cuffs have gotten smaller since the pumpkin patch. Maybe she has gotten taller?!?

 

[Burk]

lili~Thanks!

Tacori~Our T''s both do have some cheeks on them! Gotta love it. T was a crabby mess yesterday so I didn''t even attempt shopping. Why make myself miserable? Yay for another happy day with the sippy!! And that picture of T does make her look so old...did your teenager have a better night''s sleep last night?

Lottie~Welcome!! I saw you post on the traveling husbands thread. My daughter will be 10 months next week, so they are very close! You have to post a picture!!

mrsm~Sorry you''re having problems posting. I never do so I wonder what''s up?!?! It is just fascinating watching them get so obsessed with something. My T loves zippers and strings on my clothes as well. Cute pic!

iluvcarat~Those pictures are so darn cute!! Your daughter did have the cheeks!! I love it!

puffy~Thanks! I am so excited to get it! We''ll see how long it takes DH to realize it''s a new diaper bag.

jas12~Cute pic of co!!

skippy~Thanks!!

Tayva coughed all night long. I finally woke her up at 1:30 am to give her another dose of cough syrup. She wasn''t fussy or anything, just coughing like crazy. I felt so bad for her I almost went in and got her and brought her to bed with me. Poor baby. I''m going to head over to daycare during my lunch to check on her. Hopefully being awake and upright will be better!

 

[lili]

jas12
awwweee...look how peaceful and angelic Co is.
Love how he''s showing off his little tushy

I don''t have any allergies, but I do have dry skin, which has gotten worst during and post pregnancy

So J has some cases of eczema since birth. They were always on her face, arms and legs.
However, lately they showed up on her body too. I''m wondering if it is because her baths are too long.
We''ve shorted her bath and see if that will clear up the rashes.

Yeah, we thought that once she''s crawling, she''d tired herself out more.
Tired she''d get, but still refused to go down.
So now she''s cranky and noodly at the same time

That girl hates anything that interrupts her play time.

Everyone seemed to comment out active she is.
The caretakers asked if she was this active in utero.
Now that I think about it....she was moving 24/7.
It makes me wonder if in utero activity mirrors how they are outside.
Was Co active while you were carrying him?

Since we''ve started daycare, I''ve gone to sleep a little earlier so that I can get up earlier.
Also, I think the fact that I still have to get up 2-3 times a night to feed her (because she''s reversed feeding since she''s not eating as much at daycare)
is taking a toll on me.....so I get sleepy by midnight

Tacori
I did notice her fold is smaller.
I love how the jeans showcase her bootie

Tooo cute.

Haha, I don''t think J will walk anytime soon.
She''s one of those kids who are too eager to do things before they are capable of.
She''s not exactly a pro at crawling (like how some kid would crawl-run across a room), but she''s onto bigger things like standing and walking.

Hehe, too funny about the cheeks.
I agree, little Bobo deserves the prize for the cheekiest cheeks.

MrsM
Amelia is such a mini-you....right down to the texture of her hair.
However, that profile shot of her does look more like her daddy though.

Burk
Poor T. Hope she feels better soon.

 

[Lottie]

Ok so joining all of your supercute babies, this is my daughter Neve, she turns 1 in January and has just taken her first steps which is great, and learnt to open cupboards - which is not so great!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Lottie so is beautiful! I love her blue eyes! Thanks for sharing.

Burk, T has been SO crabby and only napped for 45 mins this afternoon. I am about to pull my hair out! DH told me to get out with her (since I haven''t left the house for two days) a crabby baby in public?!? No thank you. I am trying to get her to take another nap. Keep your fingers crossed. Hope today was better for you.

Lili, she is so active. I am sure it is tiring. T was quiet in the womb. I would freak out during "kick counts".

 

[Lottie]

And this is Neve having dumped her beloved stuffed pony in favour of digging crackers out of my change bag! (sorry, haven't worked out how to attach more than one picture to a post)



Loving all your photos, such gorgeous babies!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Lottie, I love the "oh no, you caught me!" face. So cute!

 

[mrssalvo]

Lottie, Neve is adorable..thanks for sharing the pics!

 

[snlee]

Burk, I hope T feels better soon!

Lottie, Neve is beautiful! I love her blue eyes.

 

[puffy]

lottie she is so pretty! her big blue eyes are beautiful!!

burk poor T. i hope she''s better soon.

tacori YIKES!! T must be teething. poor girl and poor mama! i am with you i hate bringing B out when i know he is having a bad day. but DH *thinks* it would be better for him to get him out of the house. what about what''s better for me?!??! is she sleeping ok at night?

 

[sasa]

lili, little B had some eczema on the front of his legs. It got worse after he was out of the hospital, I use Aveeno and Eucerine together but with little result so one night I just slather some Lanolin cream on him and it clear up the eczema in 3 days. I thought since it''s safe to use on the breast why not try on little B.

Mrs.M, she is so adorable!

Thank Tacori, but he look like a Q tip when we strip him down to just diaper. Love the pic of Tessa, she does look older. She look so cute in her jeans.

iluv, love her cheeks!! So is your son, so kissable!!

Jas12, Co is is just too cute in his jeans. little B also sleep like that too.

Burk, poor Tayva. I hope she feel better soon.

Lottie, Neve is beautiful, look at her eyes!

 

[Burk]

lili~Tayva was crazy in utero and continues to be crazy busy. I never had to do the kick counts because she was constantly going. The ladies at my daycare are amazed at how busy she is. The only way they can get her to drink a bottle is if they take her behind the curtain where all the cribs are so that she can't see all the action.

Lottie~Neve is too cute!! When's her birthday? Tayva's is January 18th.

Tacori~Sorry T didn't have a better day. No way would I attempt getting out of the house with unhappy baby! Daddys just don't get it some times. Hope she got that nap in! Poor thing. Hopefully it's a tooth on its way and it'll appear in no time!

snlee~Thanks!

puffy~Thanks!

bobo~Thanks!

T and I went over to a friend of mine's tonight for a play date/mommy date. My firiend has a 20 month little boy and a 5 week old. She has her hands full. The new baby has been going through a fussy period (her pedi thinks maybe not liking something my friend is eating) and cried for a good portion of the time we were over there. Nothing would calm him down. Making me re-think being ready for another....that and the fact that T is so darn miserable with her allergies/sickness/whatever the heck is going on with her......I'll get over it I'm sure!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Puffy, she almost drove me to drink today. Haha. I know it is NOT her fault but it is irritating for sure! I passed her off to DH as soon as he got home. He did dinner, bath, bed...

Bobo, T has chub! Her tummy is so cute and round. I have cuter pics of T than the one I posted but I just couldn''t get over how grown up she looked. Maybe b/c of the jeans, or the fact she is walking...How is little B these days?

Burk, no dads don''t get it. He thinks all I do is play all day. He doesn''t understand being bored, tired, listening to whining, crying etc...today was the first day I was jealous of working moms. I needed a break from her that bad. Hey, you might have a 20 month age gap if your plan works

You are insane

I need T to be semi-independent before I have another one. Or at LEAST be able to have a conversation with me. Haha. My neighbor has 3 years from her oldest to her twins and it seems ideal (for me). He will entertain them (jump around and sing), grab pacis, is potty trained

He loves when T is over there during feed time b/c I left him mix in the formula with the water (his mom BFs bless her). He seriously thinks it is the COOLEST. Hope your T is feeling better.

 

[msb700]

Lottie: ur girl is just so cute!!! love the ''got busted'' look..so adorable...and good luck TTC!!

Tacori: LOVE that pic of T..she does look older, but oh my..look at her in those jeans..too cute for words..sorry ur having a rough time

hopefully this will pass quickly and her teeth will come out soon...

Jas12: awwwwww!!!!! look at little co all twisted...such a cutie!!

lili: u know, little K also kicked NON-STOP when i was preggo and now he is also always on the go..very energetic and jumps from one thing to the next non-stop...sorry ur not getting any rest with waking up multiple times a night...

Burk: kudos to ur friend to have a 20 month and a 5 week old!!! sorry T is still under the weather

it broke my heart when u said she was coughing thru the nite..ur a stronger mom than i am..i would have immediately scooped her up and brought her in bed with me...

MrsM: i agree with the rest..i think A looks so much like u!!

ILuv: cute pics!!!

Puffy: i know that scary feeling when ur kid gets an allergic reaction!! that happened to little K when i gave him eggs...he got hives all over his face/neck and his eyes puffed up !! i nearly got a heart attack coz i felt it was all my fault that i gave him eggs!!

 

[puffy]

tacori hope you got that break that you needed!! yeah, dads totally don''t get it. my DH, whom i love to death, thinks that all we do is play then he takes a nap then we play again. he doesn''t get that i might get bored playing with an 11 month old. and B is a really good kid, hardly ever cries, so DH doesn''t think he cries or whines. then the weekend comes and when B cries or whines, DH automatically assumes that he''s sick or teething or something. anyways, i really hope that T has a good night and that she''s ok tomorrow.

burk is T doing any better? i get you that it seems to be so close in age. but i guess for ME, i just miss the whole being preggo. and IF it does happen, then i figure, i''ll deal with it then. probably not the best plan. if i was to get preggo sometime soon, it would be tough, there''s no doubt about it, but i would deal with it. haha, but i say this now because i don''t have to deal with it.

msb i remember when that happened to little K. i really knew how you felt at that point. after that happened, i was os careful about what i gave to B to eat, but after 2 weeks or so, i started to give him more stuff and it didn''t bother me as much. but i do use that one time as an excuse for others not to give him something that i don''t want him to have. BAD i know, ut it gets the job done

how is little K?

bobo little B has eczema? B had it for a bit and sometimes it flares up, but i have it under control for now. i just hope it goes away after he turns 1 or so. but i noticed that it is not as bad as it used to be. poor guy used to scratch at it so much that he would have cuts all over his face. this was way back when he was a few months. it''s weird, no one in my family or DH''s family has it.

 

[msb700]

puffy: hahaha!! sneaky arent u? ...little k is doing SO much better with the food!! i am so proud of him..he now eats a whole bun (or mini-bun) in the morning with some cream cheese, he eats rice and veggies for lunch and some cookies and biscuits with no problem..he also feeds himself now (he has a spoon and scoops out of the bowl, and i of course feed him in between as half of his food ends up on the tray )...plus he loves his puffs..so yay!!!

..

 

[Tacori E-ring]

So I must have looked rough last night b/c DH let me sleep in an extra hour and got up with Tessa (even gave her toast). So far today she seems in a good mood. Hope the worst is over. Meanwhile I looked at Dh''s one year picture and he had 8 teeth (at least) fully in. Poor T is so behind. Haha.

puffy, funny about your DH. I actually sent DH a text message picture of her crying yesterday. Figured he should have to see it for 10 secs what I had to deal with all day.

msb, yay K!

Sounds like he is doing great! T loves puffs too. Does he have a snack trap? T carries her''s around with her all day.

I NEED to leave the house today. Hopefully T doesn''t have a breakdown. BTW she gives hugs now.

She will run up to us and put her head on our shoulder (or hug our legs if we are standing). Makes the bad days tolerable.

 

[iluvcarats]

Thanks Skippy and Burk! I never ever get tired of hearing that

Lottie Neve is such a cutie! What a dollface!

Thanks Bobo! He is still so kissable, but now that he is six kisses are few and far between

I take what I can get now. Luckily I took a huge dose daily when he was little!

Get ''em while you can!

MSB Thanks!

Tacori So sorry you are in a rough patch! Getting out definietly helps! Hope you have a good, cranky-free day!

I am jealous of your baby hugs!

 

[qtiekiki]

Love all the new pics.

MrsS
Jake is so much bigger than Mr. Bear now.

I am going to be lazy and not respond to everyone. I''ve occupied with researching about KA stand mixers, thanks to the cupcake thread. =P

I''m going back to work in another week, and I am dreading it so much. I don''t know how you working mommies do it.
