Steph - I love the picsI especially love the one of Andrew kissing Evan''s head. and the one after that of just Evan...those lips!!! OH...and the last one w/ you and Evan is great too!!! Love them all!
In my news, I got AF today....relieved to be able to move on.
Mara- We''ve had a sitter since O was about 6 weeks old and my mom and dad have watched him tons of times. Even my grandma and my aunt watched him while we went to dinner once. It''s a great comfort knowing that O isn''t afraid of "strangers" and goes on his merry way and easily goes to bed even if I''m not home. FWIW, you may be fighting a losing battle trying to get everyone to always do things your way. I learned early on that if I am asking someone else to watch O, then I have to let go and let them do it their way. There are things I really insist on, but other things I let go. He definitely gets rocked WAY more with my parents, but it''s infrequent enough that it doesn''t really cause any bad habits. How old will Julian be when you go to Hawaii?Date: 3/2/2010 3:22:44 PM

steph i love the last one on the prev page with his big eyes open and the one where he is in the newborn pose with those cutie lips! adorable! oh and i cant choose a pic either for our announcements!
amber does piper take a bottle? if so then either i would pump for a bottle or nurse before you go out. but if she might not take a bottle i''d intro it first and have DH give it to her, potentially with you out of the house. since we supplemented J right off the bat he is easily interchangeable now. and ditto CC re: having an extra bottle just in case you are gone longer or she is really hungry etc. don''t leave the sitter or DH without a little ''extra''.
CC that is such a good point re: not wanting a baby only one person can put down. i am glad that both greg and i take turns putting J down so he is used to both of us but i should also make sure that my mom puts him down a few times since she will be watching him while we are in hawaii and also during the summer. she tends to want to just hold him but i have to intro her to our ''routine'' too i guess!

QUESTIONS:
1. Strollers- For BOB owners- when did you stop using the infant car seat adapter (if you used it) and start putting your LO right in the stroller?
2. Strollers Part II- When did you start using your umbrella strollers?
3. Sippy cups???? When do you start introducing these?
4. Naps. Looking for general nap schedules of babies around 6 months and up. O is still kind of all over the place and we let him dictate when he naps by his cues of being sleepy. Thinking we need to start dictating them to him a bit more, but not sure if we should strive for 2 naps a day or 3. THOUGHTS???????????????????????
I feel like whenever O starts changing it up, I get frustrated and find it hard to figure him out. I remember feeling like this b/w 3 and 4 months when he stopped acting like an 'infant' and started his more 'baby' habits. So any tips or things you remember about how they changed b/w 6 and 7 months would be fabulouso!
yes...we put a little water in the cup.Date: 3/2/2010 4:00:39 PM

Steph, wowwwwwI don''t know how you''re going to choose! The one of you and him is ADORABLE!!!!
Mer, I have a Best chair (as EB suggested) and I LOVE it!. I do use it quite a bit and it''s pretty enough that will go in my room once we''re done with it in the nursery. I posted a pic of it in the nursery thread.
CC, I have a BOB and my guys have been going in since like 6 weeks? I bought a snuggler...basically a little pillow that hugs them in there They love it!.
**
My guys are doing well so far! They''re eating! Last time they didn''t eat all day. Right now they are playing. I did give them a little tylenol before because they were getting very cranky...then they both passed out on top of me for an hour (I was trapped and needed to pee!!!!P
ETA: Sippy cups? HWat do you put on them when you introduce them early? a little water?
I had a question too...
when can I stop burping these guys???? I can''t wait until they burp themselves!
The boys have reflux right? I forgot. Hopefully Sabine can chime in on when/if she stopped burping.Date: 3/2/2010 4:21:15 PM

hmmm...interesting.
I have to burp them, if I don''t I''m guaranteed a huge spit up!...As a matter of fact, if I don''t burp them fast enough, they spit up. So that''s why I have to burp one baby one handed while I use the other hand to let the other one finish his bottle...to reduce wait time!
