Where''s your friend''s party?
I''ll crash it and take some pictures too and give Jadie the same story
Wow, funny you should mention them being like weddings cuz that''s how much we spend on our wedding and it was for 110 people!
Regarding first b-day.
Both her daddy and I are not partier....so we are thinking just immediate families.
Cater food and a cake

My SIL got me one of those hoodie thing.
I used it initially when it was cooler.
J was getting sweater later on because her head just radiates heat when it got a little hotter.
Then she'd be fuzzing.
I end up just draping a receiving blanket over my shoulder and over her mouth with her head still exposed.
I tucked one end of it under my nursing tank strap and drape the other over her.
Not entirely concealed....but only if you really look and stare.

Ahhhh, Amelia, you are one cutie! Tgal--that newborn nappy pic is so funny--you could barely get the flaps secured, hehe
Re: flailing. Co did that for a while, he just seemed to stop that lately (although when he has a toy in his hand he often bops himself) I don''t know why they don''t think it hurts. I''ve had Cohen grab my nose and lips when i am playing with him and it hurts me! Maybe cuz they don''t understand cause and effect well they don''t anticipate pain like we would and thus don''t feel it??
Lili--i am still smiling over your new avi--Charlie says she is a little bug, i just had to show him
Burk--T is SO pretty, her expression is really cute. Don''t you just love how they get new expressions every month. Cohen does a 1/2 smile that cracks me up.
Diver--i think pics are a great thing to splurge on, you''ll have em forever so you can''t go wrong.
.....
I have not thought about b-day parties. I can''t believe ppl would spend 1000''s. I know my family will do something (gawd, they would throw a "Cohen''s first poop" party if i would let them!) but it''ll be low-key.
Speaking of b-days. I have been thinking about my own-haha
. I usually HATE my b-day and don''t celebrate it beyond a dinner out with family, but i decided that this is the year for me to stop being a party pooper and i am throwing myself a 30th b-day bash
. It''s not till jan. but i am looking forward to that being my first night where i''ll have a few drinks and stay up (intentionally) past 12am since getting preggo. My sister is already looking for a party dress for me and booking the venues in toronto--fun fun.I am searching the net for cool invites (anyone know of a good invite site)

QT~thanks. I never had a cover thing. I used a receiving blanket when people were around at home and I was weird about bfing in public so I just gave her a bottle of pumped milk if we were out and about.
lili~Yep, you did spot some curls. It's weird because there are some really stick straight parts and some curly parts...when it's humid it's all curly and so cute. And I so agree about daycare being good socially. Our daycare provider told me today that everyone missed T because she's Miss Personality. I thought that was cute.
Linda~Thanks. If we lived close, I'd let you love on her all you wanted!
Jas~The expression thing is constantly making me laugh. Co's half-smile sounds so cute. The new teeth have made it even more interesting so you have that to look forward to
Good for you planning on having a party for your b-day. Sounds like it'lll be a blast.
Tacori~
We miss you around here. *See* you soon!
T was exhausted from her first day of daycare. She was in bed by 6:45! I was kind of sad since I didn't see her most of the day...but also not really so sad that I wanted to play with a crabby baby.
So, I'm off to get some stuff done around the house since I won't be home during the day anymore.

Hey friends! Flying was horrible. My plane was delayed 3 long, painful hours. That meant 4.5 hours, alone, in the airport. Then the flight was 2 hours and she would NOT fall asleep. She was good, don''t get me wrong but I was so freaked they were going to cancel my flight and I didn''t have a car, car seat, or back-up plan (DH dropped us off on his way to Ohio). Thankfully we did take off...We are having a nice trip so far. Everyone loves Tessa and she is as charming as ever.
On the flight back she cried/screamed for the first hour. Stressful. None of my tricks worked. She FINALLY fell asleep. T is cruising. She wants to walk so bad. She is crawling normal now too (though sometimes she slips into the army crawl). When outside she crawls on her feet and hands (pyramid) so funny. She has lots of new tricks.
Re Solids: My doctor is pretty clear with his advice. Rice at 4 months, solids at 6 so that is what we did. Worked for us. I started giving her some table food at 8 months.
Bobo, she was using MAMs which has PVC (lead). Not she uses Nuk. I actually like how they have the little "handle" so I can use one of those paci holders (Target has some cute ones made from ribbon). I think you are suppose to change them every so often anyways so it wasn''t a big deal. I just freaked knowing that she was sucking on PVC for x number of months (from the plastic part not the nipple).
softy, I HATE it when hotel beds are un
comfortable. Hope you had a nice time anyways!
TGal, Amelia is no longer petite like little Tessa! She is so cute! And so tall! T is jealous.
Yeah for no more Torticollis. She *is* perfect.
Burk, Tayva is so cute! Love the new photos!!!! I hate teething. Hope she feels better soon. You are so sweet! I missed you too.
Diver, poor D! I hate teething!!! Cute family vacation pics!
Q, Congrats on beautiful Meena!!! T always woke herself up. She ate every 2-3 hours, then demanded to be fed every hour for a month or so. Very hard. You are SO lucky BFing is coming easy for you. I have a hooter hider....not sure it is worth it. I think a blanket works the best.
MsF, did you hear about the crazy rain/flooding in Janesville? Also I read Jessica Simpson ate at their Olive Garden. Random. Ian is getting so big and so cute. How funny T is younger and in size 4s. I go up a size when she starts peeing out of them (and blow outs of course).
Jas, Co is so cute!
Jade, congrats on number 2! Button is as cute as ever.
Janine, T was in newborns forever. Now she changes so fast. I need to return a box of 3s b/c she has moved up. I keep them closed until I need them. I feel your frustrations on the clothes only gifts. I have so much that she never wore. I much more liked the practical gifts.
MrsM, I can''t believe A''s 3 months already! Time flies by. What a sweet girl.
MrsS, cute hair.
Ella, I am so jealous the twins were good on the plane. Sometimes she is, sometimes she isn''t. Puffs are a lifesaver though.
Misspinky, welcome!
Pave, I love my boon. So cool, practical, and love that the liners (comes with 2) FIT in my dishwasher. Both moms have the FB seat that goes on the chair. I don''t like it has much as my boon. The tray is too big for the dishwasher and I don''t like using up a chair. Plus I roll her around and love I can change the height. The boon holds up to 50lbs.
Snlee, I had 5. 2 black, 2 white, and one gray. Mine is a size up but then again I am STILL not in my pre-preggo size.
Okay, that is all I have the energy for! Love ALL the pics. Keep em coming!

Evenin'' ladies!
Thanks for the nice words about Amelia. Tacori, you''re right, she''s no longer petite! She''s a giant! With thunder thighs! But I''m looking around my stroller strides class and it seems most babies gain it in the thighs and legs, so I don''t have to put A on a diet.
Hehehe. I love my chunker!
Burk, awesome ponytail for T. She is really a lovely lovely girl.
QT, thanks for the carseat tip. As for birthdays, I guess it isn''t in chinese culture to do a big shindig? Because in Korean culture, it definitely is. After my dad''s funeral, one of my mom''s friends came up to me and said I need to invite her to Amelia''s first birthday. I was like, huh? You want to come over for a cupcake, because that''s all she''s gettin! But she''s assuming I throw the big, boring party.
As far as a cover up go, I had a bebe au lait (same thing/company as the hooter hider that Tacori has) cover up that I hardly used (due to me not being able to breastfeed.) I liked it for the 2 times I used it.
lili, J''s piggies look great. I''ve been playing with A''s hair for some time and trying to see what I can do with it. I divided the long fuzz and did pigtails and it was beyond ridiculous. A''s antennas wouldn''t even get reception!!!
And thanks for the tips on the exersaucer vs jumperoo. Almost got one used on craigslist but didn''t act fast enough. I''m not in too much of a hurry and I may buy it new anyway because if I resell it, it seems it''s cheaper than buying it used.
Oh and lili, my friend''s son''s first birthday party is at the clubhouse at South Coast...pretty nice for a first birthday
Jas, yeah, it totally seems like sometime they don''t feel pain. Oh well...I''ll enjoy it now whlie it lasts because when they get a bit older, they cry over boo boos big time! And you should totally throw yourself a big bash...30, woo hoo! Don''t know of any invite sites...you should have seen my wedding details...lame!
Tacori, we miss you round here girl! Aw...can''t believe Tessa is going to be walking soon. I really wish sometimes we could post video links because I''d love to see all the PS babies in "action."
Kid is down and I have the house to myself for a little while before TGuy gets home. Ahhhhhh...quieeeet..........

Nice to have you pop in.
It won't be long now before you are in here more.
Hope your girls are staying put.
Jas12
Thanks. And thanks to Charlie too.
Wait a minute...a little bug...is that a good thing?
I hope he's not agreeing with DH about those pigtails being insect antennas
Hee...new avi.
We need to see the big version of it.
You can not tease us with teeny picture of Co like that.
Re: flailing.
J does that too....but somehow I'm always on the receiving end.
She's got some punch too.
Ooo...the big 3 O.
I say go all out and celebrate girl.
You look great. I thought you were in your mid 20s!
Tacori
Welcome back....
Sorry the flight wasn't as smooth as before...but you are home now and can relax.
So did Tess want to crawl all over the place on the plane?

Thought you''ve gotten your toddler carseat already and was going to ask you what to get.
Let me know what you decide. Too lazy and was never a good researcher
Hehe, there''s nothing interesting to receive anyway.
Amelia''s hair will grow soon....and when it does, it''s going to be thick and long.
And wow, your friend does go all out for this huh?
So is Amelia going to get a cool giftbag for attending

lili, if the gift bag is good, I'm taking it!
I wasn't going to do the Korean "Tol" (first birthday celebration) but tonight I did an image search and the babies all look so cute in their Korean outfits. Aww. I wouldn't mind spending $1000, but anything more than that, I can't handle the thought. I'd rather throw fun parties when she can enjoy them.
ETA, whoops, hit submit too early. I'll let you know what I decide on the carseat...doing the research right now and deciding between the marathon and boulevard, with the boulevard most likely winning out.

Hehe, Amelia would be cute in those outfit.
I think Lisa from the preggo thread had a picture of her Olivia in it.....so cute.
$1000? Just deduct it out of her wedding fund
Very true about spending the $$ for fun parties for when they enjoy it.
I think the first bday parties are more for the parents to show off their little one.
I told hubby that we are not doing a big party cuz I''d rather spend the time celebrating Jade''s bday then entertain guests.
So many times I see parents going doing a big shindig for their kids...and what do they get out of the day?
Just one picture of them and their kid during the cake ceremony.
Ok, thanks in advance.
Figure I better get her a bigger carseat as she''s falling out of her current one.

So, so true lili. Maybe I''ll just get some pictures done with the outfit and forget the party. I really didn''t want to do one anyway. I think I''d rather just do a small intimate thing and take lots of photos of our family.Date: 8/13/2008 1:34:43 AM

lili, the sale starts soon (they only do two authorized sales a year) so with our tall ones we should buy at this sale because they will have outgrown their infant seats by the time the spring sale runs around. Do you have J''s seat in the middle? We have to put A''s on the side because of the way our LATCH system is done in our car, hence why I am thinking the boulevard, which has extra side protection.

I''m thinking the boulevard would work well for both of us...but I have heard that some babies don''t like the extra side wings, so I think we should take the kids and try out the seats. I also like the fact that the blvd seems to have an easier adjusting mechanism for the harness height.
Amelia''s spitups are still a problem, but are more infrequent because I burp her during feedings. However, if she coughs, forget it...projectile barfing. These days, it''s not too drenching if it''s just a regular spit up. How is J?

TGal love the pictures of Amelia. How are your in laws enjoying their time with her? I bet they were glad to leave winter behind. It has been wretchedly cold here these past few weeks. Strangely enough, I was thinking about you the other day cos my kids spotted this thread on the computer and were absolutely enthralled with the stick figure in your av. Actually my daughter seems to love the smilies too - she spent about 10 minutes looking at them exclaiming "That one''s happy!! Oh but that one''s sad. That one''s cross"
Burk love Tayva''s first ponytail. She looks like such a smiley happy baby.
Tacori I can understand you must be glad to be back home.
Thanks for the feedback on ppp (post-partum periods), guess I just got unlucky with how mine has ended up. Am I the only one who didn''t realise that AF stands for Aunt Flow? Guess I''m a bit slow on that one.

Wonder if it''s an age thing.
J''s good for about 2 weeks.
I thought that her spitup was a thing of the past.
But then it started again last week.
Don''t know if it''s because I''m eating yogurt and drinking soymilk.
Can''t really tell because there''s too many factors -- her second round of shots, i restocked on my yogurt and soymilk, her tantrum.
Don''t think it''s the shot cuz she was a bit spitty before I took her in for the shots.
I''m thinking it could be food intolerance or just phelgm from her crying.
Yup, she''s getting into the throwing tantrum stage.
The last time I let her CIO, she cried and screamed for 14 minutes.
Was crying so hard that she was choking on her tears.
When I picked her up, she threw up all over.
I was so mad....but then she flash this sweet smile...how could I be mad at that.
It scared me too cuz I''m thinking that she''d figured out how to get what she want
So she''s been pretty much screaming and crying when we try to lay her down.
She hates being on her back.
She''s been spitty every morning and I can hear that something''s stuck in her throat.
Don''t know.
I''ll give up yogurt and soymilk for a week and see.
Hate to have to give those up as they are a good source of calcium for me.
You are right.
We should let them try out the carseat.

I''ll give up yogurt and soymilk for a week and see.
Hate to have to give those up as they are a good source of calcium for me.
You are right.
We should let them try out the carseat.

Re carseats: I have the smallest one (I think it is called the Marathon) I chose it for two reasons. Chances are we will travel/fly with it so I wanted something lighter/smaller and I read a review that it is the best for short mamas. I guess some of the bigger ones are impossible to see over. Felt that might be a safety issue.
TGal, I can''t believe it either. She is pulling herself up everywhere and doesn''t seem to be scared/nervous. Often time she only holds on with one hand or no hand and just leans against chair/sofa/table/wall/window. I have some hilarious video clips. BTW I could not live w/o our exersaucer.
Lili, I let her crawl in the airport
I had too but that carpet looked SO gross. Oh well. A little dirt is good. On the plane she really wanted to sleep but couldn''t. That seemed to be the major problem
softly, so glad but we have to go back to Ohio for a wedding this weekend
after this though I am home for good!

Lili-- re; tantrums--i am having one of those mornings too--Co woke way too early so i tried to put him to sleep again, he threw a HUGE fit and was screaming in a way i haven''t heard before so i picked him up and he was soaking wet-peed thru his diaper (poor bug) so i changed him but he continued throwing a tantrum. I tried a few things but he was frantic so i offered him the breast and within 2 seconds he gave me a smile and then barely ate anything and would not got back to bed. Sheesh, he''s manipulating! So, he''s way off schedule now and grumpy! He seems to be doing this sort of thing more often now, i can''t figure him out. Hope it''s just a phase. I am tired this morning
I think reactions from breastmilk are pretty rare, but doesn''t hurt to try omitting it for a while. Have you always had dairy? If you were eating milk products i wouldn''t think it would be the yogurt. Maybe the soy, i''ve read it is one of the most mucus producing plants.
Tacori--welcome back, we missed ya! I bet you are happy to be a home body for a while. I get stressed just thinking about long plane rides now

Tgal: love the photos of Amelia...she is growing so fast!! How old is she now? Also wanted to ask which kind of Pampers you use? I want to stock up on some Size 1''s from diapers.com and see there are so many kinds!
Also, if some of you mommies could help---at what age do you start using lotions, shampoos, soaps, diaper creams? I know you don''t need all of this right when they are NB, but wondering when this all starts?

Just got back from her 9 month appointment. Everything looks good. I love our pedi. He always tells us what a great job we are doing which is always nice to hear.
Here are her stats:
weight = 18 lbs 13.4 oz (50%)
height = 27.25 (25-50%)
head = 17.5 (50-75%)
ETA: BTW her eyes are turning green. DH noticed all the blue (which was there 2 weeks ago) seems to be gone....weird.

Hey, Tacori, welcome back! Sorry your flight was so stressful. Sounds like you had a rough time of it.
TGal, the self inflicted punches seem to be another Amelia thing. My girl is going to look like a boxer if she keeps this up. She does it a lot when she''s tired. Also pokes her fingers in her eye, which is a bit alarming.
Q, your avatar pic is just gorgeous. Sweet thing!
Well, I put Amelia in her bumbo for a few minutes to try it out. She loved it! As ever, DH was there with the camera.

I put her down for a nap at 1. At 2 she was still awake and screaming (from being overtired). And you know why?
She keeps stinkin rolling over and then gets upset when she finds her self there. I''m talking 7 or so times now! I go up to her room to find her little head bobbing up and down over the crib bumper. And she''d shoot me the cheesiest grin when I look at her sternly and say she should have a nap. I can''t leave her like that because she''ll nap flat on her face so I have to keep going up and rolling her back over. I finally lay her very close to the side of the crib so when she rolls over to her left (the only way she knows how), she has no room to completely roll over on her tummy. Well, guess what...she looks at me for a second, then promptly rolls over to her right for the first time. ARGH!

Janine, I used pampers swaddlers. I would buy a box of newborn Swaddlers SENSITIVE, as they have the indicator stripe. When they are newborn, it's kind of harder to tell if they peed or not (and more important to make sure they are peeing) so this will really save you the effort of opening up the diaper to check. Don't open it though, because if your baby is too big, you can always exchange for 1's. Once you baby gets older, you can just user regular diapers without the indicator strip, as it's really obvious if they peed.
Tacori, awesome checkout for Tessa! Aww...she is so petite and darling. Amelia is going to bust through 17 pounds by 6 months, I'd say. And it's trippy how fast their eye color changes eh? It's almost overnight...I can see the "ooze" of the new color happening before my eyes.
MrsM, awesome pics of Amelia and YOU! I love her face snoozing on ya.
