Age: 5mos
Appointments/stats/milestones: first beach trip, first solids, stopped STTN but I put her in warmer pjs so maybe that’ll get fixed. ETA I totally forgot she can sit pretty well unassisted for short periods of time!
Baby Likes/Dislikes: she LOVES solids. I gave her a piece of my bread today and cried when she dropped it. She’s also just 100% obsessed with DD1 and it’s adorable. She dislikes her car seat and taking naps in her crib or for longer than 20 minutes. If anyone has any ideas about naps, I’d be grateful.
Mama likes/dislikes: the wake ups and inconsistent sleep. I also have a cold (yayyyyyy) and look like Rudolph. I did get my hair done and I like it but I’m sad I went with something super boring and safe. I’m also struggling with my mom a bit. She’s got a lot going on so I’m trying to just deal.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
Get into a good OTF schedule! Sickness and vacation have messed me up but I went for the first time in awhile and I was reminded how good it feels.

Ok!
Age: 6 months next week
Appointments/stats/milestones: Next week for her 6m appointment. I stood on the scale with her the other day and she's ~16lbs and wearing 9 month clothes. She's sitting up well, pushing up on her hands and getting her knees under her (though not at the same time.) Cut a tooth and the next one is not far behind. She plays peek a boo! She puts her head down and her arm to her forehead and we say "where's E?" and pops her head up and laughs. It's the best.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: She loves her brother, she's always watching him and laughing at him. Loves to swim and take baths and play in the water, loves being sung to, loves food. Hates to be alone and sleeping.
Mama likes/dislikes: I'm loving the days where we can take a late nap together. She just snuggles up and puts one thumb in her mouth and her other hand on my cheek and passes out. I'm not loving the frequent wakeups at night.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
I have a long overdue hair appintment booked. Just a cut because I'm cheap but the more I think about it, the more I think I need some highlights.

snowmoon I got my hair done this morning and the scalp massage while she washed my hair was worth the cost alone. The fact that she handed me coffee and has happy to chat a little then let me play on my phone for two hours? HEAVEN.

Age: 5 months, 6 months next week!
Appointments/stats/milestones: he is 9 kgs, I have no clue what that is in pounds sorry. Six month vax next week.
I’m kind of worried but not worried that he’s not babbling yet, DS1 babbled really early and never shut up. DS2 coos and makes vowel sounds but no babbling yet. Although, he does have a boob or a thumb in his mouth 90% of the time lol.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: Likes- food, nursing, watching his brother, being held, trees, eating his hand and sucking his thumb. Loves the bath and had his first swim at the pool this past week.
Dislikes- being put down. Naps. Mummy eating food before it’s cold. The dust buster hand held vac.
Mama likes/dislikes: I love his snuggles and his rolls lol. He laughs and does this like silent laugh with his mouth open when he’s really loving something it’s very cute. I love how much he loves his brother and how much his brother loves him. I do not like the lack of sleep and lack of ability to shower alone without a grumpy baby in the bathroom whinging at me.
Wildcard: 2.5 hour hair appointment next week, cannot wait!!!!!!! He won’t take a bottle but I kind of nocurr since it’s not that long and if he’s desperate H can syringe feed him and or mix the milk into some baby porridge. Dude loves that baby porridge.

Age: 5 months
Appointments/stats/milestones: not until 10/15. Just outgrew 3 month clothes (how rude!). We've started solids a few weeks ago. He's been inch worming for a while...working on getting legs under him so he can crawl.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: Loves food! Also loves his sister, ceiling fans, & his mickey mouse stuffed toy. Hates peas.
Mama likes/dislikes: Baby snuggles and smiles. He has the cutest laugh and snorts often when he laughs really hard. I dislike him getting bigger! Where did my little baby go?
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month
Hahaha. My month is getting too packed to do anything for myself. I have a concert that I'm performing in next week...maybe as a stretch getting out and being around adults?

Age: 5.5 months
Appointments/stats/milestones: I’m fairly sure he’s broken 20lbs. We’re about out of 9m and fully into 12m clothes. He is a superchunk.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: This kid loves everyone. Smiles all around, it just melts my heart. He’s getting pretty solid at sitting up, but he has yet to fully roll back-to-belly and has only rolled belly-to-back four times ever. I think he’s just so big. He doesn’t love that he’s not as mobile as he wants to be, and he definitely doesn’t like being set down and left alone.
Mama likes/dislikes: I would like if sleep were more consistent and he were taking longer naps, but it’s just such a breath of fresh air to not have a baby that’s crying all the time. I’m enjoying nursing now that we’ve found our groove. But I don’t like how much I weigh.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month. I’m going to try to go for a pedicure. Being in escrow has been so time-consuming and stressful, a little sanity break would be good.

Age: 7 months on Saturday. How.
Appointments/stats/milestones:
9 month appointment in late November.
Weight is still hovering around 15 lbs.
He’s been army crawling all over, but now he’s starting to get his knees up under him, started taking solids at daycare, sitting unsupported for longer.
Baby Likes/dislikes:
He loves being mobile and exploring everywhere, his stacking cups, looking at himself in the mirror, when we read books at night, and watching me vacuum. He doesn’t like when I leave the room, being laid down for diaper changes, and getting his face wiped.
Mama likes/dislikes: I like listening to him talk, that he can entertain himself for longer periods of time, that he smiles when I kiss his cheeks, and how he lights up when he sees H. I don’t like the lack of sleep and early wake times, our super short and very rushed weeknights, short naps, and still worrying about his weight gain.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
I going to try to make it to a yoga class. I really miss going.

Age: 6 months in a week!
Appointments/stats/milestones: I'll take her for her flu shot in a couple of weeks. She is over 19 pounds and sitting like a pro.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: Loves food, her brother, throwing her toys and making you pick them up, and cackling at strangers when they walk by. Dislikes: waiting between bites of food, the 30 seconds it takes between making a bottle and inserting it into her mouth.
Mama likes/dislikes: I love everything about her! She is such a good girl. Right now I'm very much disliking DS's soccer schedule and the havoc it has wreaked on our weeknights.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month. OOOH i have one. I bought myself a new fridge this week. The old one was so shitty and we've been keeping it going on duct tape and string since we moved in 4 years ago, trying to get it to last until we remodel our kitchen. And finally this week I spotted a good sale and just said, eff it, I hate this fridge and I have some savings and I'm just going to do it. So it came yesterday and it is soooooooo prettttyyyyy. French door heaven.

Age: 4.5 months Appointments/stats/milestones: Earlier this month, she had her 4 month well. She weighed 13lbs 8.8oz and was 26.5 inches long. She mostly sleeps through the night (noisily after about 3AM); giggles all the time; attached to a lovey; can roll front to back consistently and accidentally from back to front; can almost sit unassisted and wants to stand so terribly. Baby Likes/Dislikes: loves her Groot and Little Unicorn blankies, baths and showers, her big sister and brother. Dislikes being down for any amount of time. Held is best unless she's sleeping. Mama likes/dislikes: I really dislike how noisily she sleeps after about 3AM. She doesn't wake up, but is kind of grunty and also kicks her legs and thrashes a lot. But again, SHE doesn't wake up. Just I do. Wildcard: I've actually been really good about taking care of myself lately. I've been pulling the husband thing and just disappearing for down time once he's home and doing whatever I need done (shower, read for a few minutes or listen to a podcast upstairs, etc). I got a manicure before going to Vegas 2 weeks ago, and I'm due for a fill/polish change, so I'm doing that next week. Her lovey is a baby Groot stuffy. She picked it out herself at the Disney store a month ago & it’s about the sweetest thing ever. I ordered her two more yesterday to put away.   She turned 4 months on the 1st.   H & I went to Vegas for a long weekend earlier this month to celebrate our anniversary & visit my brother at his new station. A threw us right back into real life with a trip to the after hours urgent care/ER. No ear infection, just a clump of wax & teething.  Doo doo doo.  |

Age: 5.5 months
Appointments/stats/milestones: 6m appt on Oct 12th. He’s fully rolling over both ways. I’m thinking we’re going to try some solids this weekend, but I have to run to the store first. First tooth cutting through right now!
Baby Likes/Dislikes: he looooves to stand up and hold on to our fingers. He’s also been loving being in the big bathtub with DD. She adores having him in there and they’re basically all smiles. He dislikes when people (other than me) try to hold him to sleep. He prefers to be put down with his blanket and a paci to fall asleep on him own.
Mama likes/dislikes: I love his little giggles when I blow raspberries on his belly, I love watching him and DD interact. I do not love his recent MOTN wakings. I’m hoping it’s just the tooth situation🙏🏻.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
I plan to buy a few new shirts for my wardrobe. But not too many because I got a speeding ticket this morning and now I’ll have to pay for that too😬

I’m just going to post these whenever I remember and I’m mixing it up a bit mmmmmkay? That's great Leaf 🌱! Age: 6m + 2w Appointments/stats/milestones: his 6m appt is Monday. About 17.5# & 28"+. Has started babbling, first real vomit(with partially digested food instead of just milk spit up). Has sat unassisted for maybe a minute, but not functional sitting. Pretty much puts himself to sleep. Baby Likes/Dislikes: loves animals, his bath, solid food, books, mirrors. Dislikes being dressed and undressed. Mama likes/dislikes: I really like wearing him in the buckle carrier when we're in town; I hardly wear him at home. I also am really thankful for how easy most of his sleep has gotten. Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month. Keep up my exercise schedule is all I can think of. |

Age:
6 months on Sunday
Appointments/stats/milestones:
6 month well visit in two weeks.
She's so tiny! She still fits in a lot of her 0-3 month clothes and is not even close to outgrowing her 6 months clothes. She is going to crawl any day I swear. She can get her knees under her hips and does a good baby plank. She gurgles a ton and is just so happy. I seriously have no idea how I got this lucky.
Baby Likes/Dislikes:
She likes literally everything. But she is actually way into toys. I don't remember E playing with toys as much as N does.
Mama likes/dislikes:
I'm pretty happy right now.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
I sometimes feel like I take a lot of me time. I go to yoga 4x a week. I'm going to my hair done in a week.

Age: 6 months! Appointments/stats/milestones: 6 month yesterday. Weighs just over 14 pounds and is 25 3/4 inches long. In 6-9 month clothes and almost 9 month pants. She had a huge growth spurt length wise. Can sit unassisted now. Baby Likes/Dislikes: Loves to eat. Carrots and bananas are her favorites. Loves to be sitting up and not laying down. Her favorite toys are a rattle and a wrinkly toy with tags. Still hates the car. Dislikes taking naps other than on me. Mama likes/dislikes: I love that now she can sit up she will play independently for a while. And I get a break from holding her. Her personality is showing more which I like. She makes these growling noises when she talks to us and it is the cutest. Dislike our nap situation. Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month. I have a hair appt at the end of the month and going out for dinner and drinks with a friend next Friday. No kids or husband and I'm very much looking forward to it. 6 month photo and from story time before bed the other night. Now she loves to sit next to big sister while Mh reads.   |

Age: 6 months
Appointments/stats/milestones: 6 month app last Wednesday - 18 pounds 14 ounces and 27.5” long. She’s crawling and pulling up rather well now.
Baby Likes/Dislikes: she loves everyone and is always gnawing on her hands and sucking her thumb/muslin blankets. She’s going through something so has been waking more at night to latch but we bedshare so it’s not too bad. She doesn’t always like being contained since she’s found mobility but is happy being worn.
Mama likes/dislikes: I’m so in love with her and am just thankful. Crocodile rolls during diaper changes are annoying and figuring out nighttime diapering (we use cloth) has been tricky. I love him endlessly but my biggest “issue” is dealing with DS’s shenanigans tbh.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.
I can’t think of anything.

Age: 5.5 months
Appointments/stats/milestones: 6 month check in a couple of weeks
Baby Likes/Dislikes: she likes food, her goat lovey, her jumper. She loves singing and kisses. She wants to sit up so badly but can't quite do it without support!
Mama likes/dislikes: I honestly have no complaints these days. N is so happy, she sleeps well, and we have a good routine during the day. My 2 year old is also easy and he's so sweet with N. Things are going smoothly for us right now.
Wildcard: tell me one thing you’re going to do for yourself before the end of the month.

cornpop gah. I’m not ready for crawling AT ALL. So much toddler crap is everywhere. Legos are the bane of my existence and I’m constantly harping on L to keep legos off the floor and away from the baby. He’s pretty good about it but I swear I can hear the sound of a Lego falling from 3 miles away. |
