Coming out of lurkdom...

Tacori -- I hope you feel better soon! How scary that you had that happen right after getting sick! I would certainly be freaked out, too.

MrsS -- I hope Jake feels better soon too. I love the latest pics of him. He''s adorable!

Jas12 -- I love your new avi! Co is so cute! I also love the pic of him all bundled up in his snowsuit.

Curly -- Lily and Lucy are adorable!

 

[lili]

Gotta say first.

Curly Lily and Lucy are just little dolls!

They are both very happy little girls! Your chocolate intake while preggo worked

I love your new avi too.....they look so sweet together.

Ok, back to catching up.

 

[lili]

Tacori--
Can''t wait to see how your xmas cards come out.
Haha, she IS a drama queen throwing herself like that on the table
Too cute...

iluvcarats--
A little late, but good luck with the surgery.
Hope you make a speedy recovery.
The snowball shooters sound like such fun.


jas12--
Did you make cuppies for your book club?
I''d love to see your creations.
Love your new avi by the way.
I think we need a bigger version of it

QT--

for Meena''s first tooth.
Hope the second one come in quickly and less painful.

 

[lili]

QT--
That is annoying about the unsolicited advice.
Fortunately for me, I haven't encountered those type of people much

TGal--
How is Amelia doing?
Is she on the mend?

snlee--
Sorry about the mastitis...ouch.
Glad to hear that the lump is just a cyst.
Hehe, sweet hubby you got there.

Jas12--
Eeek those bassinets don't look comfy at all.
Not much different than placing them in a suitcase heh?

 

[lili]

MrsS--
poor little guy. double ear infections and still so happy.
i would never have guessed that he''s in pain from his 8th month pictures.
hope the new meds work better on him.

 

[Burk]

Going to do this in parts...I'm making shrimp pasta and I'm waiting for the water to boil.

mrss~Poor Jake!! Thank goodness they had you come back to check!! T was on Augmentin for her ear infection and it did the trick! Glad he's still sleeping well and handling it like a champ!

Okay, better continue cooking. BBL Until I return-T with her snowman clip! Not a great picture but it's one of the best ones I have of her standing!!

 

[Burk]

Tacori~Our T's have a lot in common: they both have a TON of toys and they have very common favorites! My T loves her stacking cups too...so much so that I bought her a set for the bath, too! T doesn't have the laptop or the purse yet so they goes on the list for sure! I'm going to see what kind of load she comes home with after Christmas and re-assess the stituation then!

Keep resting, lady, you've had a rough few weeks!!

Jas12~A book club does not sound old! I wish I was in a book club. I bet Co will be crawling by Christmas. Happy 8 month birthday to him! Where does the time go?

snlee~Sorry D is having a rough time sleeping! Is he fussy during the day, too?

curly~Your girls are so darn gorgeous!! They look so much alike!

lili~Your new avatar is beyond adorable!!! We're going to need to see a bigger version of that! I see baby legs.....

And now, a pic where you can better see the clip. I love it. So festive (I love Christmas!!) and it matches a lot of her stuff so she's been sporting the snowman pretty much every day since we got it!

 

[Burk]

darn it....you can''t see her clip in that one....trying again. Sorry to clog the thread with Tayva pics!!!

 

[Burk]

Ackk...that one is bad too. I quit!

 

[TravelingGal]

Hey ladies!

First off, awesome new pics of all the dolls. Curly, the girls look a lot like each other, i.e. gorgeous! Burk, those pics are funny of Tayva. And lili, you HAVE to post a bigger pic of your avatar. Jas, Co looks pretty relaxed in that bassinet! And tell me that''s the lighting and that you don''t have him in purple and pink jammies?

Tacori, I hope you and the whole fam feel better soon. Ugh, I feel for you girl!

The flight is 15 hours according to the schedule. Planes are flying slower to save fuel, because I know that flight can be done in 12!!

Took Amelia to the doc today and she has to go ahead to fly. No congestion and he prescibed something for the nose because he said benadryl is not the thing to give her and that it will not work. I kept poking Amelia to cough or sneeze or something so the doc would say we couldn''t go, but to no avail.

Thanks for the traveling tips Jas. I definitely have an escape pod which I am going to put in the bigger bag so I don''t have to lug the whole thing if I just want to change her. We fly on the new A380 so at least it will be a nice plane. Wish us luck...it''s 24 hours from door to door (including the layover and connecting flight). Let me tell ya, it will suck to be me tomorrow!

No way I can catch up on everything, but wanted to say (if I don''t say it tomorrow) that I''ll miss you gals over the next few days but will log on from the other hemisphere for sure. Summer (and all the pestilence that goes with it), here we come!

 

[Linda W]

T-GaL, have a wonderful trip. Do you get to see those precious Koala Bears????????????

 

[snlee]

curly, Lucy and Lily are adorable! They look alike.

lili, love your new avi! J looks so cute in that hat and her babylegs!

Burk, cute hair clip on T!

TGal, have a safe trip! Glad you''ll be able to check in.

I don''t think D is hungry or overtired. I think he has been fussy during the day as well. It''s hard to say because I don''t know what''s normal. Maybe he''s having a growth spurt? He''s sometimes fussy when I''m nursing him. He wants to be held a lot and doesn''t last long by himself in his PNP or swing. Although I thought growth spurts only last a few days? I can''t remember how long it''s been. I just know he''s been a handful lately, that or I''m just feeling very worn out.

 

[Lorelei]

Have a safe flight Tgal, check in when you can otherwise we will miss you...* sniff...*

 

[Jas12]

Tgal--15 hours--wow, that is way longer than my flight! icky ick ick

I hope Amelia doesn''t get too jet lagged. You are a much better person than I. No way i would travel that far for my inlaws

Please let us know how it goes--i''ll be thinking of ya.
(P.S. the pjs were blue and grey--just weird lighting

)

Lili--we MUST have a bigger version of that new avi--cuteness! My avi looks like crap. I thought it was a cute festive pic (we are in matching grey outfits-tree in the background etc.) but it looks all stretched and it''s a bad/weird picture of Co. Could not get him to smile
For you, here is his 8 month pic. Did we get one of J? I might of been out of town when/if u posted it??

Tacori--feeling any better today? I was thinking, have u tried making popsicles for T? I used to do that for sick kids at daycare ( 1 part juice and 3 part water) sometimes they would take those over a cup and in order to keep fluids down if vomiting, fluid intake is best in little sips at a time. Hope everyone is getting better


8 month pic, as promised...

 

[TravelingGal]

Jas, he is so cute! Great photo! Is that a DSLR?

I also unsmushed your cute avatar.

Linda, snlee, and Lorelei, thanks! Linda, TGuy says Koalas are feral and is not a fan. I think they are cute!

I''m lame. I went to pack last night and realized we threw out our suitcase last year because it broke on the trip back from Oz. Now I have to go shopping for a suitcase at the last minute. I''m so organized.

 

[Burk]

Tgal~Good luck with your trip! We''ll miss you around here!

Snlee~Is D just fussy often or actually screaming? He is fussier more at some parts in the day than others? Is he gassy or spitting up frequently? I ask because Tayva''s reflux/food intolerance issues started to hit her right around 10 weeks (that''s about how old D is right?)

 

[jas]

Hi all -- babies are actually sleeping at the same time, so I''m going to just try to comment on this page, otherwise I''ll feel like I big ol'' loser for being behind.

Tacori -- It seems like the plague has hit your house. I hope you all feel better soon and can get adequate rest to feel 100%. This sounds like a doozy. I would think it''s hard to be the mommy when you are feeling like crud.
Jas12 -- The book club sounds awesome. Forgive me if you''ve mentioned it, but what book did you discuss? I''ve just gotten to the point my brain can handle information again (it''s been since before I was pregnant) and am devouring whatever I can get my hands on! BTW, you are a gorgeous, gorgeous mama, smushed or unsmushed!
Mrss -- ugh on the sick baby. Poor little Jake. He''s such a cutie. I''m glad he''s able to sleep, though. That''s probably the best thing in the world for both of you!
snlee -- I have been following lil D''s sleep issues. I''ve got no advice, but tons of sympathy! I''m glad your DH is a help.
Hi Linda! I''ve been naughty and not over in WWT despite my dramatic re-entering that thread. I''m such a dork.
Curly -- you''ve got two beauties on your hands!

Burk -- your little one takes the best pictures. You must squeal with delight when you see her every morning! Such a cutie!
TGal -- hope the travels are headache free!

The boys are still uncoordinated in their sleep patterns (although that may be their strategy for world dominance. Start by wearing down mommy and the rest of the world will crumble.)

They are full of smiles and bubbles. The drool factor is hysterical.

DH, as I mentioned, bought a house that was foreclosed on...initially for flipping, but I looked at it and we decided to move there as the school system is outstanding. I''m going to miss my city loft, though.
New house is 1 mile from MIL and SIL. The Universe has an odd sense of humor.

I''m on POP pills (yes, I know the last "P" in "POP" is for pills. Shut up.) It''s causing me to have breakthrough bleeding...so I bled 2 weeks ago (I think it was Aunt Flo) and now I''m bleeding this week. I feel like a frickin'' faucet. It''s my first cycle since pregnancy and it''s all fubar. I''m not nursing anymore, so I may ask to switch to a different pill or just put a lockbox on my hooha or something.

Here''s DH''s latest odd picture of my babies. DH''s photog skills crack me up.

 

[Burk]

Jas12~Cute 8 month pic of Co! He's getting to be so big and I see hair!!

Snlee~I thought of another question-since you say he is sometimes fussy while nursing-would you say he isn't eating as well or seems to dislike feeding times? I just keep wondering if D has some tummy issues.

 

[Burk]

Jas~ Your husbands photographs make me laugh!! I love this one!! Congrats on the new house (minus the walking distance your MIL and SIL have to come and irritate you)! We're considering a bank repo to move into and fix up right now too! Need to sell our house, though.

Thanks hon. Yeah, the selling part is the worst. Scary and sad.

 

[mrssalvo]

curly, love the pics of your girls..they are so adorable
burk-great pics of Tayva, love her clip
Jas12-your boys are too cute for words. I now have crushes on little boy babies since I finally have one of my own. I was a total girl mom and in princess land for the past 6 years and I''m loving the boy stuff!

tgal- i hope you have a great trip and the flight goes smoothly.

tacori- i hope all you are you feeling back to normal.

My 4 year old will turn 5 tomorrow and we are braving Chuckie Cheese''s tonight at her request. I gotta say, the pizza is okay but the salad bar is actually really good so i''m actually looking forward to that

 

[lili]

Tacori--
Ugh...poor you, Tessa and hubby. Sucks to be sick.
That is pretty scary how your body reacted to the trauma of throwing up.
Did you have it check out?
Hope you and family feel better soon.
That''s a good idea Jas12 with giving the sick kiddies popiscle.
I''ll have to remember that.

Jas12--
Aww....Co is so handsome.
He is getting so big and I see hair! What color is it?
That is a great angle shot of him

And he is such a smarty pants .... already trying to talk.
Hehe, J is bopping to music too.....it is so cute.

 

[lili]

Jas12--
Sorry, got disconnected.
Little girl pulled my power cord

and computer died.
Anyway, still want to see the avi in a bigger version

I did notice the coordinating outfits and those hats on you two look interesting.

Tgal--
Ugh, 15 hrs? I feel for you.
But then again, you''ve got a good sleeper there, so the flight may not be as bad.

You are that looking forward to this trip huh?
Hope you find a suitable suitcase.
Have a nice flight and we''ll miss you here.
Be sure to check in once in a while.

Speaking of checking in....I hope Bobo and little B are ok.
Haven''t "seen" her on here in a while.

Burk--

look at how steady Tayva is with her standing.
It won''t be long now before that first step.
Looks like she lost a bit of her cheeks there huh?
She''s so pretty and the snowman clip is adorable.
Still waiting for your headband

Oh, I love her little boots --- hehe, too cute.

jackiejas--
I agree with Burk, your hubby took some hilarious pictures.
This one is just adorable. Love the expressions on your handsome little men.
I like how Jackson is draped over his bouncy.

 

[lili]

Ok, here's a bigger version of my avi for you ladies Burk, TGal, and Jas12
Guess that can double as her 8-month

Leg warmers and versatile boa.
I'm ready for winter.

I would really love to see how DH would react to that. Or most dads'' reactions. Maybe if they had little trucks and, I dunno, professional wrestlers on them...and I could convince DH that there''s no crotch on them due to their (obviously inherited) generous, uhhhh, endowments.

 

[lili]

How about skulls?
LOL....let us know if you are successful

 

[mrssalvo]

Lili- J is soooo cute, I love her little babylegs...so precious

forgot to say Jas12- I want to see a bigger pic of your avatar too. it looks great of you and Cohen. he's such the handsome little man.


ETA: JackieJas- In my previous post, i meant to say you...got you too jas's mixed up

 

[Burk]

mrss~Thanks! Have fun at Chuckie Cheese!

lili~Thanks! She''s taking a few steps here and there, just not too sure of herself yet. She stands up in the middle of the room (not holding on to anything) and thinks about walking and then plops back on her butt after 1-2 steps. I think it''ll be soon. As for the headband, soooo cute. She hates me putting it on. Lets me do anything else to her hair but the headband. I''ll try and coral her down and get a pick ASAP. She''s in her baby legs today. Soo cute and sooo easy. Love them!!
