we are doing his Christening next week on Easter Sunday I'll post better pics then!
BBygurl i hope your FIL is doing better!

BTW - if no one mindsmy asking what are you using for Birth control? I hate the pill and any kind of implant thing - so was curious?

what a cutie!!! hope everything goes well with the baptism! i can't believe Easter's almost here!

birth control: NFP here, Billings Ovulation Method. But, we've been cheating this cycle - charting, but not abstaining during that small window around ovulation. we were following the NFP rules until we reached a point where we wouldn't mind another LO and decided to NTNP, but i think i'm too stressed out to actually be fertile right now anyway. good luck with what you guys decide on!

Hi Ladies, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, been busy here, had a friend visiting and just life in general.

Huggles, great photos of the christening!!

Fides, glad Jacob is doing so well, he is long and skinny. He looks so cute in your avatar. Wow, NTNP...you could have 2 under 2...

Amanda, glad things are going better with your FIL. yay for ttc. How exciting. Disney sounds fun as well, and yay for rolling over.

nyn, great to see you on here!!

Michieb, great christening outfit...you do sound super busy.

We stopped the baby rice because of all the constipation. I did a week or so of just milk and she was feeding constantly and is grabbing at my food, so have started purees and she isn't constipated and loves it. She got mad when I took it away. So far she has had bananas, avocados, carrots and potatoes. Introducing one food at a time and giving her a few days before introducing something else.

Still no rolling over, but she can grab and put things in her mouth and sit for a bit and stand if holding on to things. She also is starting to like tummy time more because she can lift herself up. Also, she has started losing her hair. I love her hair and she still has some but looks a bit bald. Anywho...thats about all thats new with us, going back to work in a month. She won't take a bottle, but will take a doidy cup. MY SIL is coming to stay with us in a few weeks to watch Josie during the transition.

Andrea -- Rolling is cute and all, but I wish Kristin was sitting up like Josie is. I prop her up on the couch and she ends up with her head taking her all the way forward. (Only when DH is next to her)

MichieB -- I have gone back on Depo Provera. Huggles is also back on it. It's progesterone only.

Kezzy started crawling the night before last and her first tooth is cutting...

 

[tlh97990]

hey everyone it seems like we've all been quite busy! madelyn had her four month visit last week even though shes already almost 5 months and she was 15 lbs 2 oz and 24 1/2 inches long. she is so long its crazy! she rolls from belly to back every time now and has rolled from back to belly once or twice but she likes being on her back more so she doesnt try as hard.
she has been eating purees as well and loves it. andrea where did u find avocados? i haven't seen that anywhere!?!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I've never seen jarred avocados either, I think it's maybe because they don't really preserve well? But I would think it would be super easy to make your own since avocados are so soft to begin with and you don't even have to cook them. I'm thinking of starting Connor on purees next week as well.

 

[sherylb]

You have to do your own avocados. My friend froze hers in baby food jars.

same thing here, or he just falls over to the side.

Kezzy started crawling the night before last and her first tooth is cutting...

wow! good job, Kezzy!

she rolls from belly to back every time now and has rolled from back to belly once or twice but she likes being on her back more so she doesnt try as hard.

awww!

 

[Huggles]

michie - i can't believe christiano is so big and in 12m clothing already! Wow!
He looks so cute in his christening outfit - with the hat on and the face he's pulling he looks like a little mafia dude LoL. Looks gorgeous!

re birth control - i'm on the depo injection. Considering switching to birth control pills towards the end of the year.

Fides - wow, ntnp! enjoy!

Dr Gomps - josie is gorgeous! very impressed with how nicely she's sitting by herself in the first pic! Gorgeous giggles! And i love her podgy little cheeks!

Wow leopard, very impressed that kezzy is crawling already!

 

[babyhopes2010]

dropping by to see how everyone is?

 

[babyhopes2010]

This is my LO.They grow up so fast!
shes in 12-18 month clothing and has lost lil weight but still nearly 19lb

 

[qwk]

Yeah Andrea, I can't believe how well she is sitting up!! I saw the pics in your journal of her in a high chair, that is wild! Q is definitely not ready for that my string bean is still a bit floppy

Leopard, wow, crawling! Quinton did do this crawling like motion the other day, where he pulled his knees up under his bum and was pulling with his arms while on his tummy (he was looking at some toys a few feet away). He made it maybe 6-7 inches, but I am pretty sure he will forget he did that for a few weeks before he tries it again

Fides - Jacob is so precious, he has such a sweet face!

 

[sherylb]

19 pounds?? 12-18 months?? What are you feeding her that she's growing so fast??

 

[Michieb]

Baby hopes cristiano is the same 19lbs, 26inches long and 12-18 mos clothes too! He's loving his food and we're at bottles every hour and a half now.. After all that he's still trying to eat our food! They grow soo fast!
Thanks huggles!

 

[sherylb]

How are your babies 7 lb + more than mine?? That seems just crazy.

Wait-- these were big babies when they were born right? We have gone from 6 13 to about 12.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

There is such a HUGE range of baby sizes and they all just grow at their own rate. Connor is pretty average, but there is a baby in our mommy and me who just turned 4 months and is 19 lbs and 27 inches! He is in the 99% for both height and weight. And on the other end of the spectrum there is a 7 month old who is smaller than Connor....but all are happy healthy babies. Just a huge range.

 

[Michieb]

Yes he was big when he was born almost 9lbs. He was 8 lbs 12oz. He is in 95th percentile on most, my daughter was big too..still is in 95th percentile for weight, dr has her on a diet, she just turned 5 and was 60 lbs...we lost 5lbs already..we're working on it.. But yes every baby is different, some smal some avg some big..it's all ok
