re: {O08} OCTOBER TODDLERS (September Welcome)

Quoting Rainbow NotSoBrite★:“ OH MAN! to all the bubbies getting sick! It makes me   I have been drenchin tobi in vit c. lol Both ... [snip!] ... right? Thanks for the compliment! It's tiny but it's there.   Welcome to mary btw, I think she's been in here beofer maybe?”

Yep, Andy's first two. They are being so darn stubborn too. Poor guy is just miserable right now between the flu and his teeth. He cried for almost1 hour straight this morning before he passed out (I think b/c he was tired and hungry but between the inability to clear his nose and his teeth hurting it was so hard for him to eat). There was nothing I could do to comfort him. He just tried to squiggle away while holding him and then would sit on the ground and cry if I put him down.

Quoting Mary Erhardt TTC#2:“ Yeah its absolutely adorable! Sounds like you guys had a ton of fun! We pretty much did the same thing ... [snip!] ... then took all the little kids trick a treating. I really cant wait to take Cody next year, hoping he knows what's going on.  ”

Awww, that sounds so cute. Next year will be awsome. Mikey was on a complete sugar high when he was two because it was the first time he had any candy. He was like a little addict and kept stealing it from the bowl.

Quoting Mommy to a Milk Monster:“ Hi ladies! My name is Joanie and my daughter name is Autumn. She turned 1 on Oct. 23rd. She isn't walking on her own yet but she is getting close to it. How are your LO doing with cows milk?”

Hi and welcome :-) Andy is getting better at drinking milk, but it still isn't something that he tanks up on yet.

Quoting Mommy to a Milk Monster:“ I started cows milk a week before she turned 1. Autumn took to it but she also still breastfeeds. We ... [snip!] ... bad when she was 6 months old but oh my gosh its alot worse now that she can express herself more. How is everyone doing today?”

Autumn is such a pretty name!  

Mary- Thank you. Some of Jays and my family think it was silly to name her Autumn but i always thought it was beautiful. You and I dont live that far away from each other.
On another note Autumn took a couple of steps on her own today. It was exciting!

Yay Autum!!! That is awsome   Get the video camera ready  

Mario has been taking a few steps, just from mommy to daddy!! He has been on whole milk since about 9 months but he also is still on the boob. We are trying to ween... it's not working so well though. I try to nurse once in the morning and once in the evening but lately he has been trying to get to the boob on his own. He pulls at my shirt and says 'get'! It's cute but embarrassing. He's a booby man and I have a hard time saying no to him so he usually wins.

Awww, that's too cute :-) We are working on weening Andy, but as soon as I get home he wants attached to feed. Little leech that he is. I am not trying to hard just yet (though I have mostly cut out pumping and he eats regular milk most of the time during the day now). Thanks to flu season, I am fine if he just wants to continue to nurse at night.

And way to go Mario on walking!!!!! That's awsome  

How are you doing?

working on weening here too... Today and yesterday I have managed to not feed her when I get home from work... Yay!

I just stopped feeding Autumn during the day and give her a sippy cup with cows milk instead. Im just worried shes not drinking enough. Im used to feeding on demand and its hard to get her on a feeding schedule. Any advice ladies?

Hello to everyone. I'll add some recent pictures of chloe from her birthday and halloween. My mom was down this weekend and it turned out okay. Shes has a really bad cold now lol. Chloe just started taking a couple of steps a few days ago. She can walk only 5 or less steps at a time though. She says mama, dada and she has said puppy and bye-bye once each. We got some pictures taken while my mom was down and I'll post them when i get them. They werent the best. Chloe was cranky and the photographer was horrible. We were looking at pictures to buy, me and my mom, and I had to ask her 3 times for her to show us all of the pictures she took. Alot of them were great pictures but totally off centered. I did get one that had Chloe eating a number 1 which I thought was pretty cute but the photographer wasnt going to show me that picture at first. I recommend not going to walmart if you can afford and have the option of another studio. My mom is coming down in Dec and we are going to get more pictures done but this time we are going to sears.

About breastfeeding, Chloe still is and I dont plan on weaning her anytime soon. When we stop is totally up to her. She was getting cows milk to go to bed a few months ago but we have stopped that. She now nurses to sleep Yay!. She also helps herself to my boobies and get mad at daddy when he covers one with his hand. While she eats from one she HAS to play with the other one lol silly girl

Really? haha... Well I think its pretty.

Where do you live?

& congrats on her taking steps! Cody takes steps too I'm just waiting for him to just walk.

I've done the same. I stopped feeding Cody formula and started him on cow milk but on a sippy cup. I've been feeding him on a schedule, breakfast,lunch, dinner and small snacks in between. Seems to be working fine with him and he's even started to sleep through the entire night. Something he wasn't really doing before. If you go on babycenter.com they have a helpful feeding schedule for parents.

lol...I'm slow. haha... you're from Gilroy! That's awesome. Where do you live by? I go there to eat SONIC! I'm a fat attack. haha...I use to make my hubby drive to Tracy,CA when I was pregnant because I would crave it so much.

My husband gave Cody small amounts of candy and Cody would get so happy. Its was hilar.
