Curly, hope you are hanging in there!

Linda, she is going to be a handful as a teenager. I *already* can tell
20.gif


MrsM, A is so darling. I love all her thick hair. Her "eating" the plate is so funny!

Bobo, it is NOTHING you did!!!! Please don't feel guilty. I hope little B is doing okay.

Puffy, B is so cute!

Burk, poor little T! Hope it clears up soon.

msb, no I didn't get a photo. It all happened so fast!

iluvcarats, what a adorable kids and mama! Thanks for sharing some pictures!

So today my neighbor and I walked to Target and we just took her double BOB and she put a twin in the Bijion. Can I just say WOW! It steers so smooth and even with 40lbs of babies in there it was effortless. I am convinced! All twin mamas need the BOB!
 
Mrs M: Your pics are soo cute! I''m glad you feel like I do...LOL...It was better today because I did not have to help. LOL. Jake did great .

Puffy: Awww what a cutie pie..

Bobo: I immediately googled Kawasaki after reading your post the other day, and you have to stop blaming yourself. It is more prevalent in Asians than any other race, so there really isn''t anything you could have done about it...you certainly didn''t cause it, just go forward from here & know we are all praying for your little angel. He''s such a sweet boy, and strong, he''ll pull through this & it will be a dim memory in a short time.

Well, today is my birthday & I am 38 years old. Holy cow. Where did the time go?

But I''ve had a good day so far...I took Jake to preschool & then Delaney & I went to the mall & I used my bday gift cards to buy some cute new tops & a sassy new hat. Gotta love hats! I have to teach class tonight, and then right after I have to go to moms night out, but i"ll be a nasty sweaty mess...LOL. Oh well! free wine? free food? all my girlfriends? who cares!

Tacori: Yay! Tessa is going to be walking sooo soon! D took 3 steps on her bday, and now a step here or there, but she just won''t "walk" yet. she can crawl so fast, she chooses that. She just likes to give me heart attacks with all her climbing on stuff. STinker!

ok... I have to scoot!
 

So many posts to respond to -- but I want to first say that your babies are scrumptious...thank you all for sharing the photos.


I''m going to play along and post a photo or two...I''ll be back either later tonight or tomorrow w/ a real post. Trying to plan DH''s 40th (I posted in Hangout if any of you have nothing better to do but help a gal out
21.gif
)

They are a month and a day old already!!! Odd ped appt. today.

My lil'' Jackson has a heart murmer. SO much to worry about already.

And one more just for fun...I may have posted this already. Pretend like you haven''t seen it.

Cute pics everyone.

Meena is getting her first set of shots tomorrow. Is there anything I need to/can do to prepare for it? Thanks.
 
Jackie; love the pics...the time does fly doesn't it? your boys are too cute and love the pic with your puppy
30.gif


lovecarots: great pics...your kids are darling too.

jas12-sorry Co isn't sleeping. jake is up and down too. some nights he does ok, others not so much. Just rolling with it for now and might do a little CIO at some point...just not yet. I figure, he's still not even 6 months so i just cuddle him back to sleep.

Q-re: shots, I always give jake a dose of baby tylenol b/f his visit. also, you might bring some tissue's for yourself if you're the sensitive type. I cried when my oldest got her first set of shots. It's heartbraking to watch and hear them cry

Ella
Don't feel like you should respond to each and every one of the posts.
Just give us an update of you and your little munchkins.
Love the pictures....especially the pumpkin patch one.
Hehe, I actually liked the fact that they are NOT looking in the same direction.
Makes it less posy.
lil MsK is so dainty and petite next to her big brother G
5.gif
Soooo sweet.
I can never get over how lady-like and mature her expressions are.

I think the Cat and Dog costume will be so cute.
Can't wait to see them dressed up.

Thanks. She looked so funny the first time I clipped all her bangs up, so had to experiment with the different locations.
More pictures? It seems like I've posted plenty of her already. You guys may get sick of seeing her
41.gif


How's the new BC working for you?
 
misspinky
Jaylin is sooo tiny and petite.
Love her big round eyes and those pouty lips.
She''s a splitting image of her daddy.
Must be daddy''s little princess huh?

I love the parrot and pirate costume idea -- too funny and cute.
 
Tacori
Tessa is just a doll.
I can''t believe you think that''s an ugly mug of you -- crazy woman, you just adorable.
We can now see where T got her cute and adorable genes from
2.gif


Hehe, she''s growing so fast huh?
All these baby''s first in the last couple of weeks -- stand, stair climbing, dance, and kiss1!
LOL about your description of teenage T as a partier w/ loose lips
9.gif


Jas12
Don''t let being out of country stop you from dressing that little man of yours for the holiday :P
 
MrsM
That last picture of Amelia eating the plate is so funny.
She''s got such round eyes.
I can''t get over how much hair she''s got too.

Yay for the 2 hr naps.
Hope it is the beginning of a new routine.

puffy
3 haircut and still under a year old.
Wow, I wonder how long his hair would have been if you didn''t cut it.

msb
little K look so big in your new avi!
 
iluvcarats--
Welcome and hope your son is feeling better soon.
What cute kids you''ve got.
They look so much like you :)
 
jackiejas
awweee...look at your little boys, so precious.
love that shot with their bestest friend.

sorry to hear that jackson has a heart murmur.
are they running tests to determine how severe or what complications could arise from it?
hope it is a minor one.
 
Whew, lots going on here! I have my glass of wine now and am catching up...love it. I post on PS during the day, but it''s here and ther during "work". I love relaxing at night with wine and really getting into this thread!

Curly Curly Curly! Tick tock goes the clock! Woo hoo hoo! May your L&D be the easiest ever!!

QT, ooh, nice car! I love your current avatar. She''s getting more fun by the day, isn''t she? As for the Recaro, it gets good reviews too. Do you know there is a carseat forum at babycenter? You should check it out. Re: shots...baby tylenol is usually what is recommended but you have to ask your doc for the dosage. Have a thermometer on hand to check for fevers. And MrsS is right...it''s heartbreaking. I looked for the first set because I didn''t know any better. The second set I was so nervous. I just put my face to hers and stroked her hair. I couldn''t look. Ugh.

Jas, may make sense about formula babies and food. Amelia is eating, but she isn''t exactly into it. Still we are trying to get her used to the idea. Still sorry to hear Cohen is not doing well in the sleep department. I think he''s too smart to sleep...his little mind must always be spinning. Maybe he''s trying to figure out how to save the U.S. economy? Hee hee. And I''d be miffed a bit too if my coworker named her kid the same name when the name isn''t all that common!

Oh, and the Maclaren Quest and Triumph both recline, but none recline all the way. However I think those two would be fine for 6 months and above. BRU also carries the Wendy Bellisimo (sp?) stroller which is similar but half the cost. Steering isn''t as good though.

MrsS, love that pic of Jake with sweet potatoes...he looks puuurdy satisified!

Burk, Tayva is going to make the cutest darn poodle. You all are making me think should get a costume for Amelia, but I am SO not a halloween person. I hope Tayva feels better soon.

Ella, your photos are always frame worthy. I love the pumpkin shot - I can feel the warmth and feeling...not to mention the two cuties in it! As much as I love our singletons, you and Jackie are proof positive that twin photos are so much FUN.

Tacori, your loose lips party girl comment was my laugh of the day. Golly gee I love Tessa...what a ham. And those new photos are great...you should post pics of yourself more often...reminds us where lovely Tessa got her looks! And ha...you''ve been bitten by BOB! Drink the kool-aid..yeeess.....

misspinky, love your girl''s eyes and curls. She is precious.

puffy, your son is very handsome! My friend''s son has a lot of hair too...it''s awesome! He''s had about 3 or 4 cuts by 9 months too.

Diver, Happy Birthday sexee mama!! Gotta say, you just have a gorgeous family. How lovely did Delaney look on her day! I can''t believe she''s one...the rest of the PS babies are going to follow so quickly. And you''re not snob. My pilates instructor told me some time back that on the first day of school they have all these forms to fill out, sign and return. One of them was that the parent promises to have their child brush their teeth and come to school groomed. She was so horrified and disgusted, she went to the school with the form unsigned and told them that it was a GIVEN that her child would be clean and how pathetic it was that they had to do this.

lili, haven''t tried the drinking cup thing yet. Maybe tomorrow. I have my hands full just trying to get her to eat. Guess I can''t have a good sleeper AND a good eater too, right?
5.gif
That''s interesting about the teeth...I am sure you are more sensitive to that because you are BFing...I have no idea what is going on in her mouth and every time I go to look, Amelia sticks her tongue out at me. Neener neener, she seems to say. Amelia just seems to fish around for her tongue or chew on her index. How is J doing on the eating front? And uh, NO...we would never get sick of seeing pics of J!!! Don''t make me stalk you at BRU!
41.gif


MrsM, yay for the nap! Your girl is so adorable...she reminds of a cabbage patch doll with those darling eyes. I used to love those dolls...they were cute and not scary like other dolls! Man, that is awesome at what a good eater she is! I''m jealous of all these good eaters!! I laughed out loud at the plate pic. My Amelia is not interested when we eat. I came downstairs today to see my mom sitting in front of her trying to show her how fun and yummy it is to eat - my mom was making all kinds of weird chomping noises.
18.gif
Also did you notice that Amelia''s middle finger is sticking out in that pic? I don''t know why but that made me laugh too!

Bobo, I ditto everyone else...don''t beat yourself up. It''s nothing you did. I know I would have a hard time not blaming myself too if Amelia got sick, but somewhere I hope you can find comfort in the fact that it really and truly has nothing to do with that.

iluvcarats, you are and your children are beautiful!

Jackie, oh no...I don''t know much about heart murmurs, but I am hoping it''s fine! Oh, my heart did squeeze when I read that though...you and your darlings are in my thoughts. And as I mentioned, awesome pics!
30.gif


I have a new workout regime...I strap Amelia up in my Ergo (she''s big enough to go on my back now) and head for the hills around my house. What a workout with my big mongo child on my back!!!
23.gif
Fortunately, she loves it and I go in the evening when the sun is low. It also kills that last hour before bedtime when she is the crankiest. Love it. She''s quiet as a mouse and absolutely beat by the time I get home.
36.gif
 
Diver, happy belated birthday! Hope you had fun with the girls!

Jas, I think it is common for babies to outgrow heart murmers. Hopefully Jackson will. One of the twins next door has a heart problem (and was on medication) for 5 months. Then they gave him a clean bill of health. Hopefully the same will happen for your little one. They are so cute. Wish I had any ideas for your DH''s party but I am neither a business person or funny
3.gif


Q, T was pissed (always is when she gets shots) but she always forgets like 1 minute later. She never has any fevers or reactions so I don''t give her anything. Good luck!

Lili, this first year has gone by SOOO fast! It is crazy! I thought I would never make it to this point
1.gif
Thank you for the compliments. I get shy posting my pic on here.

TGal, you ladies know how to make a girl feel good
9.gif
She looks like her daddy too. Tessa is a HUGE ham and diva. She has taken to dropping unwanted food on the floor (at least she stopped spitting it out).
20.gif
Did I tell you she can get her own toys out of that toy bin I bought from pier one (BTW their new color is black for anyone interested). So funny. Last night I was trying to clean up and put toys away and for everyone I put away she took it out. Glad Ame likes your walks. Fresh air does a crabby baby GOOD! I use that sometimes too. Love the BOB for sure. Hate the price tag
14.gif
I obviously didn''t try to fold it/carry it but steering it was sweet.
 
Bobo~We must have posted at the same time yesterday. I'm so sorry I missed your post. Hugs to you!!! I also googled Kawasaki when you told us his diagnosis (we PSers are surely researchers!
2.gif
) and I read NOTHING that led me to believe there is anything you could have done!

msb~THanks! It does seem like the PS babies are sick around the same time. Weird.

Jas12~Thanks. It is a mild case of bronchitis and she did much better last night. I do agree with you, though, that it if baby is comforted by being around mom or dad when they're sick then that is what we should do. T is normally a very independent, not cuddly at all baby so this has been kind of nice (in a way) that she's wanted to snuggle with me. Hopefully we PS mommies will be getting better sleep real soon!

lili~Maybe I'll have her try on her poodle costume and do a quick photo shoot for my PS ladies!

3.gif
All of the kids at T's daycare are sick too. I think that's why she hasn't gotten better. How is J handling her cold? How are you doing being back at work?

iluvcarats~Adorable pics!

Tacori~Thanks.

Diver~Hope you had a great birthday!!

jas~Oooohh...your little guys are so darn cute. Sorry about Jackson. Like Tacori said, could relieve itself. The minute you get preggo it's like your stress level increases forever! Wouldn't change it for the world, however!

QT~I do Tylenol before shots as well. The dose goes by their weight so you may just need to bring tylenol with and ask your ped how much to give. And like mrss said, be prepared to be a little shaken up. So sad to see your little one so upset.

Tgal~Thanks! I was just on Old Navy's website and all of their costumes are on clearance already for like $10!
11.gif
I'm not a Halloween person, either, but costumes on kids is just so darn cute! Your new workout sounds awesome!

Well, went back to the doctor last night and T has minor bronchitis so doc gave her meds and cough syrup for that. He also started her on Claritin because he thinks she probably has allergies. She did much better last night. Even slept in her own bed. Her pedi also asked to check me out because I told him I don't have time to go to my doc. He said I have bronchitis too and wrote me a prescription! Hopefully we'll both be feeling better soon.
 
TacoriThanks for the compliments! Tessa is such a doll! First kiss! I love a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it!

Divergirl Happy BDay!


jas Your twins are adorable! What a sweet puppy to watch over them like that! Sorry to hear about Jackson''s heart murmur! Hang in there..

Mrssalvo Thanks!


Lili Every time I see your avatar, I wish I could reach in there and scoop her up! What a doll!

Tgal THANKS! The kids are beautiful. Me, well......It certainly was a nice way to wake up in the morning - you made my day!
Your workout sounds fun. We used to live in So. Cal. in the foothills in OC. It was fun to hike there. Must be a great workout for you with the baby!


Burk Sorry to hear that you are both sick

I hope the meds help you feel better soon! Good news about the sleeping! She is beautiful!
 
Tessa took her first itty bitty step!

Thanks Lor! I think she had no idea WHAT she was doing or what she had DONE. She is also trying SO hard to stand up from the sitting position (instead of pulling herself up on something and letting go).

ETA: Thanks Linda (we were posting at the same time) you know yesterday I was holding her and thinking dang she is getting heavy so her walking WILL give my arms a break

Tacori, when you get a chance, can you post a picture of her standing up? That is, when she does it by herself?

The boys better watch out - she''s on the move!
 
Everybody better watch out! Haha! Linda, here she is standing and I am very embarrassed her onesie is not snapped but honestly changing her diaper is such a struggle these days she is usually *gone* before I can snap her up. When we are home most the time I don''t fight her on this one.

T-standing.jpg
 
Here she is taking her walker for a spin. It''s funny to watch.

OMG...I''m dying....for some reason that pic looks like she''s about to pee on a wall or something...must be that unsnapped onesie! Hahaha. So cute. Go Tessa!
 
TGal, just you wait though! She rolls and crawls mid change. It gets *old*. Her knees are bent a bit maybe b/c it is on the wood floor. It is a funny picture just seeing her from behind. Who knows, maybe she WAS peeing. Haha!

ETA: and it is the only standing picture I have!
 
I''m loving all the pics. PSers have such darling babies!

Tacori, the one of Miss Tessa and her unsnapped onesie is just precious.
 
OMG Tacori, I LOVE these pictures of Tessa. I so wish I could pick her up and give her a hug. She is just too cute. I just love how they waddle when they begin to walk. Then they start running all over the place. It is just toooooooooooo cute.


Linda and a big hug for little Tessa
