Little- sorry she hurt her head, hope it heals nice. poor girl. Kian has long, weird hair on the top middle of his head....but if I side swipe it, the little peach fuzz growing in on the sides puffs it up funny. But if I brush it straight forward, it looks strange! poor guy, nothing is working for his hair right now. lol

yy for the tooth shell! now more will follow i bet.

Kian is still not really on solids formerly. He loved avocado one day, hated it the next, liked it the next, and refuses it today. Idk! Also hates bananas and semi dealt with the peas. The carrots weren't a hit. And thats as far as we are. I don't realy think he seems ready, he doesn't care about eating except for staring at us when we are. Not sure where to go from here....

Little Stars, you will have to post pics of their little hawks, ha ha! Lauren was born with a good amount of hair, but is in a constant state of losing it in some places and it growing back in others. Looking back at pics her hair is never the same, ha ha!

I just wanted to clarify. While we probably aren't going to tell our kids that there is a santa or Easter bunny etc, we DO plan on giving them gifts. The gifts will just be from us, not a mythical character. I don't think they will feel left out, because they will still get presents.

Hubby and I can't agree on the whole Santa, tooth fairy issue. I want to keep up the magic and he wants to tell her the truth. I just know how much it meant to me as a child, ok I told my brother when he was two santa wasn't real but only because I was annoyed when I found out by accident. I have visions of Alana being at nursery and telling all these kids Santa isn't real and me having to deal with angry parents. It's hard enough being the boss without my kid ruining their kids magical beliefs. I think we will go with the fantasy and let her have the mystery as long as we can.
So today Alana sat unaided for well over ten minutes, I was so chuffed. She only toppled after she got very excited and kicked the toy to the side, she crossed her arm over her body to reach it and tipped over. She has been sitting reaching forward for a while but normally seems to lose her balance quickly, but a week of concentrated effort and she can't do it.
Sheis five months on Easter Sunday, we are taking her to watch an Easter egg hunt that our friends run, it should be fun.

I really will try to take some photos and post. And I'm sure whatever you do for the holidays will be great. Mythical characters or not as long as they have fun who cares?

Hippy - So jealous of the sitting! That's great that she's getting it.

DD1 is running a fever of 104 and I'm deseraptely trying to get in down so we can still go to my moms for dinner. She is devastated at the thought of not getting to go but if I can't get it under 100 she is staying home!

Well done Alana on the sitting!!

Aww, poor DD1, Littlestars. Hope she gets better soon. Would also love to see pics of twins hair!

Hope fussy little Kian settles down with his eating soon (altho I know your breastfeeding, Nyp, so he is getting all his goodness from you anyways).

Hi everyone
xx

I hope DD1 starts to feel better and her temp comes down, no fun of you are unwell and you know everyone is having fun without you.

Hey ladies, its been awhile since ive been on so I have to catch up on alot. Kaydence is 6 months old now and sitting up on her own, has a tooth comming out and loooooves her food. She has to b on solids because of being underweight from her relux. She has gained more now that shes been on solids though.... Still not sleeping all night and its driving me crazy. She will start day care soon

Long time no see!!! Cody will be 6 months on Friday! Time flies! He has his 6 month appointment on Monday and he is 18.5 lbs. So he's finally slowing down a bit, although he's still pretty long and is wearing 9 month clothes! He's now only in the 70th percentile rather than the 90th+ at prior appointments. They didn't check his length so I don't have the percentile on that.

He was a week early for his shots, so we're going back in on Monday, so be praying for me. LOL.

He can sit up for a fairly good time unassisted, has discovered that he's a boy ( ) and loves his toes. Here in the past week or so, we've had a massive sleep regression and I am NOT loving that.

In the past two days he has learned to fake cough (Dad and I both have asthma so lately have been coughing with all the pollen.) He holds his little hand by his face and has the funny little cough immitation he does. LOL. Then he smiles at me and does it again. LMAO

Sorry I've been MIA, things have been crazy here at work, planning the surrogacy and trying to fit in play dates and park fun with Cody. OY.

Well Easter was hectic and DD1 was up and down with her fever all weekend but we did end up going to dinner a tmy mom's and then to the birthday dinner for MIL on Monday.

Tuesday I took Libby to the cardiologist specialist to check her heart. At first the resident guy took a look at everything and said he thought that things looked good and it was an innocent heart murmur but then the doctor came in and did her thing and decided that she wants her to come back in to have an ultrasound just to check everything is formed right because she was having issue with getting a pulse on the legs I believe. Sucks because I wanted answers and reassurance but I guess it's better that she is being extra careful.

Needless to say that Libby was oblivious of the whole ordeal and isdoing great. She is regularly up on all fours and rocking back and forth trying to figure out what to do next. Only a matter of time before she figures out to move her limbs to crawl. Luckily Ashley hasn't taken notice of what her sister is up to and won't be crawling so soon.

The girls are 6 months now. Ekk! So crazy. They are just so darn cute and sweet and I am loving this stage. Still no teeth but I'm sure it's just a matter of a few days. Eating food is going well. Ashley is finally getting the hang of it but the BLW isn't going so well. They shove food to the back on their throats, don't chomp on it and nearly choke constantly. It's scary! And when I change diapers and see large chunks of carrot or the like in their diaper I start thinking that maybe I don't want to do this so soon. I'll have to read a little more about it to see if I'll continue.

kaydence is in the 92nd percentile for height but shes still only 15 almost 16 lbs and still wears 3 month clothes butis starting to wear 6 month......how r u doing rhe surrogacy thing, privet or through a company? I really want to do that next yr. But would like to talk to some1 who is doing it or has done it
