re: August/September '07 Babies: Mommy Chat

Quoting real mean cruising machin:“ thank you everyone i sti here and can't help myself from crying..........i'm such a bad mom unhappy ... [snip!] ... of lola over there i keep going over the carpet trying to find her hairs............and i haven't vacuumed since the weekend”

I'm so sorry Jelena.  When my in-laws had Skeeter put down, it was really hard on everyone.  They buried her out back, but they didn't bury her collar.  It was sitting in their garage.  And everytime we'd walk through the garage, it'd be sitting there.

But you're not a bad mom.  You're going through a hard time.  I'm sure that Phillip understands.

Averi is going on #9 tooth (She's already 1y and 2w old! ). #10-13 should be following right along with it (so it appears..). So im sooooo not out of the woods yet.
I dont think im going to have "playdates" with my negihbors anymore. I mean, i love Carter to death and he really isnt that bad (He can become quiet a terror tornado though) but oh my gosh, the apartment looks a wreck still, even after i picked up last night! Kevin couldnt find anything this morning!   Looks like i got work to do today.
OH OH OH! Averi now can go on and of ft he big couch from her little couch with such easy its scary. She just hops on, plays on the big couch (even sits to watch tv) and the slides her little butt back down. My lilmonkey! OH! And she learned how to go down the stairs on her butt.  

(Jelena, im not avoiding you or anything. Its just a touchy subject for me)

HAHAHAHA omg... Jodi... After a good HOUR of skimming the last 30-40 pages or so, I have to say FIRST... I was reading your signature and started CRACKING UP when I saw the "A Clean House is a Sign of a Broken Computer"! My husband will appreciate that one... lol

Okay, well, it was wonderful to see everyone opening their presents!! Kristen, I'm glad Katelyn liked her gift so much!!!  

I told Nicole I was trying to wait to get on here until I loaded the videos of Scarlett opening her gift, but it looks like that's not going to happen (we just video taped it since my camera is unavailable at the moment). I sent videos via cell phone to Nicole so she could watch Scarlett enjoy the gift she and Emma gave her. Check it out:

She LOOOOOOOOVES it! She giggles up a storm every time she hops on lol. It's way cute.

Liz - I loooove your hardwood floors!!!! I had hard wood floors growing up and my mom always used murphy's oil on them, and I tell Scot all the time I want a house with hard wood floors because I want to clean with Murphy's oil lol. I'm lame..

And I'm excited for halloween! I just need to figure out what Scarlett will be...

Vince can get up on the big couch without any help at all.  Which is bad.  lol.  Because he doesn't always get off safely.  He rolls around too much while he's on it, and sometimes he rolls too far, and splat.  He's only done it once, but now I have to keep a close eye on him.  He can't climb up the couch if he has long pants or socks on though.  He needs the traction from the bare skin to be able to scale it properly.  lol

PS:... Tomorrow is Scarlett's MONTHDAY! She will be 13 months *sniff* for some weird reason I think I'm taking 13 months harder than 12. I guess I just anticipated one year so much I forgot she would keep growing AFTER that...

It's hard to believe huh?  It seems like their entire life, you keep thinking about up until a year old.  But then they don't stop there.

Dawson cant get up onto our couches yet (iguess they are too tall) he can get on them at my parents and he gets down easily we have not had any problems so far...the bad thing is that he now thinks he can get off anything the way he does the couch so if I have him on our bed...which comes up to my waist and he is done and wants to get off he starts just scooting with his little legs dangling and I have been there to get him everytime but I just worry that one day he might actually make it and the fall will hurt him or break his legs or something

Haha, glad you like the blinkie, but I cannot take credit for it...Nicole posted it yesterday and I stole it!

Not to be vein, but I added some stuff to my profile and i freaking love it  

I stole a few ;) Hope no one minds!

And laura, YES!!! I know we thought they'd never hit "one year" but now that she has time is whipping past me even faster!

Nicole - glad you liked the video   I had fun texting today! And I think you'll appreciate some of the things I added to my profile   I feel like we are the "hippies" of the Aug/Sept mom thread... and I hope it doesn't offend you that I feel that way lol

I was going to take out my texting today but decided not too...so Im glad I didnt. And Im not offended in the least.   I actually think Im going to steal that treehugger icon.

Quoting Courtney♥NObama!:“ Mady will be 1 on the 18th and she still doesn't have teeth either!!”

Wow our girls have the same birthday. 9-18-07 What a wonderful day. 

Quoting TheLTrain:“ I hate teeth still. Hate them.More then anything. I/We have not had a decent nights sleep in 4 days. ... [snip!] ... to say, i aint very chatty due to the lack of good sleep. BUT, I do wanna say Congrats to Lucas on his awesome walking!”

Did you get a chance to try the Hylands teething tablets? I feel for you Liv has 8 teeth and I am dreading the rest because she is soooo fussy when she is cutting teeth.

Quoting Liv's mama:“ Did you get a chance to try the Hylands teething tablets? I feel for you Liv has 8 teeth and I am dreading the rest because she is soooo fussy when she is cutting teeth.”

I was looking into getting them since tylenol has lost its effect. Do they really work?

Quoting TheLTrain:“ I was looking into getting them since tylenol has lost its effect. Do they really work?”

Yes they do. Since Liv has been teething since she was 4 weeks old we were kind of limited on the meds we could give her. All of the medicine for teething is for 4 months or older. After a while Tylenol was just not working so we tried the teething tablets and they work for her. They disolve instantly and they work pretty fast. Good luck. I feel so bad for her when she is in pain. She just woke up from her nap so I need to go nurse her .bye
