How old is your little one? He will be 23 weeks on Friday Have you started solids? What have you given? What does baby like? Yes. He has had oatmeal, apples, and pears. I also made sweet potatoes to give him this weekend. Oatmeal and apples he thinks are ok. He loves the pears. What is baby playing with and loving? J has a VTech Baby puppy singing rattle that he LOVES. He chews on it, laughs at it, hugs it, etc. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/VTech-Baby-Rattle-Sing-Puppy/dp/B019ICFYNI/ref=sr_1_7?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1517362878&sr=1-7&keywords=vtech+puppyHe also loves the Lamaze Rainbow Glow Rattle. He likes to chew on it www.amazon.com/Lamaze-L27630-Rainbow-Glow-Rattle/dp/B00R7Q2P7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1517362925&sr=1-1&keywords=Lamaze+rattleHe still likes his kick n play piano but not as much as he did before. He will still play on it twice a day though. Has baby rolled both ways? He rolls from tummy to back all the time and thinks it's funny. He rolled back to tummy for the first time yesterday. Is baby sitting up on his/her own? No and he doesn't like to sit. He loves to stand though. Any suggestions on how to get him to enjoy sitting? Where is baby sleeping for naps? At night? He sleeps in his crib in his room for both now. What does baby wear to bed....jammies, swaddle, sleep sack, etc? He always wears jammies. He was in the Swaddle Up until a few days ago when we transitioned to a sleep sack which was an easy transition. We also have socks on his hands when he sleeps because otherwise he scratches his face and head due to his eczema. Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Yes. We do Bath (optional), diaper, jammies, sleep sack, bottle, shut the shades, song or book, white noise on, hug and kiss, put in crib, lights off. He does not cry at all even if he's wide awake. He usually is asleep within 5 minutes. Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Yes. It's a short version of bedtime routine. Sleepsack, shut the shades, song or book, white noise on, hug and kiss, put in crib, lights off. He still cries almost everytime though it's getting less. Currently he cries around 10 minutes before falling asleep for naps. How is baby fairing this winter? Any illnesses? Dry skin? Not good. He has eczema everywhere, especially on his face. He has a cream for his face and it's looking better but he is dry everywhere. He has the crazy purple rash on his torso. He is also sneezing a lot right now. Does baby have a favorite book? He really likes Still a Gorilla. He cracks up every time I read it. Also, has anyone else signed up for DOlly Parton's Imagination Library? It's not available everyone but check it out. J gets a free hard cover book every month until he is 5 years old! The books have been really nice. This month we got a Corduroy book, we've gotten The Little Engine That Could, I love Mommy, and 2 other books. Such an awesome program. Does baby have a favorite song? He likes head, shoulders, knees, and toes because we do the motions. He also likes on my own and castle on a cloud from les miserables (because I sing them constantly) Anything exciting happening in baby world? It's just so fun to see him grown and explore. His new thing is to try and give us kisses on our cheek. It's so freaking cute. He opens his mouth wide then shuts it and makes this face which is hilarious trying to kiss us. Do you have any questions? I've already asked them all!

How old is your little one? Just turned 5 months. Ummm...22 weeks? (Thanks, Scary Mommy, for the weekly emails.)
Have you started solids? What have you given? What does baby like? Eh, sort of. She's had a couple spoonfuls of oatmeal twice or three times. She doesn't like it.
What is baby playing with and loving? Anything she can get in her mouth. Still really loving her winkle toy
Has baby rolled both ways? Yes, but she's best at going back to belly.
Is baby sitting up on his/her own? She does ok propped in the boppy for a couple minutes.
Where is baby sleeping for naps? At night? In her crib.
What does baby wear to bed....jammies, swaddle, sleep sack, etc? Jammies and a fleece sleep sack
Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Bath (every other night... ish), nurse, book and song while rocking, in bed drowsy but awake with a nuk. White noise always
Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Sleep sack, nuk, rocked for a minute or two, then in bed awake.
How is baby fairing this winter? Any illnesses? Dry skin? She's had 1 cold and is stuffy/coughing again. DS has a nasty cold but hers isn't that bad, thankfully. She has some dry skin on her cheeks and thighs. I've been using lotion after her bath.
Does baby have a favorite book? She doesn't necessarily. She likes pretty much any books. I like God Bless You and Goodnight at bedtime. I read it to DS as a baby too. Before he got all opinionated about what we read.
Does baby have a favorite song? Not really. I usually do Twinkle Twinkle or You are My Sunshine before bed
Anything exciting happening in baby world? She giggles like crazy at big brother. He's, apparently, hilarious. And the baby in the mirror is pretty cool, too.
Do you have any questions? Nope.

How old is your little one? 5mo, 1 wk, 3d
Have you started solids? What have you given? What does baby like? Nope. Starting in a week and a half when we get back from FL.
What is baby playing with and loving? He loves his exersaucer. He loves chewing on his mini-Sophie. He has a rattle he enjoys and this weird toy that has some balls that move around in it and is a half circle with a mirror so he can see inside it.
Has baby rolled both ways? Yep! He loves rolling from back to belly. Loooves it.
Is baby sitting up on his/her own? Yep for the most part. Sometimes he has issues balancing correctly and can tip over but he can sit on his own.
Where is baby sleeping for naps? Crib At night? Crib
What does baby wear to bed....jammies, swaddle, sleep sack, etc? Footie cotton pjs and a sleep swaddle. He has never attempted to roll while sleeping or when waking up so we are slow to transition him out of it swaddle. He flails his arms so badly whenever I try to not swaddle.
Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Change into PJs, dim lights, fan on, white noise and nightlight on, give bottle, burp, change diaper, swaddle, pacifier, read bedtime books, diaper change if poop happened during read time, then walk and rock to sleep.
Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Swaddle, pacifier, white noise, sometimes read a few books specific to naptime only, rock to almost sleep, put down.
How is baby fairing this winter? Any illnesses? Dry skin? One cold so far. He still has a bit more boogers than he did pre-cold but 🤷🏻♀️ He has somewhat dry skin on his legs and face. I put aquaphor on his face and lotion him up every night with his last diaper change.
Does baby have a favorite book? Not sure but I love “Dinosaur’s Binkit” and “Eeek! Halloween!”
Does baby have a favorite song? I don’t think so. He likes it when I clap a lot. He loved Despacito when he was first born and it went on in the car.
Anything exciting happening in baby world? 🤷🏻♀️
Do you have any questions? Nah

How old is your little one? 23 weeks
Have you started solids? What have you given? What does baby like? Yes, we've given cereal, sweet potato, banana, and pear. She likes cereal and sweet potato, she was on with banana but I think it made her kind of constipated, which is why I tried pear and she hated it! Like hated it so much she gagged and made herself throw up twice!
What is baby playing with and loving? She still likes her piano playmat. She loves her activity chair and her Lamaze rainbow glow rattle.
Has baby rolled both ways? Yes, she rolls onto her stomach now to sleep. It gives me a heart attack, but if I roll her over she just rolls back. Plus, she seems to be sleeping better on her belly, so I'm going with it.
Is baby sitting up on his/her own? No, she likes sitting up though, but needs support or she tips over.
Where is baby sleeping for naps? At night? Pack n play for naps and at night.
What does baby wear to bed....jammies, swaddle, sleep sack, etc? Naps, usually a onesie and the Merlin suit. At night, fleece pajamas and a sleep sack.
Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Yes, we do bath (about three times a week), diaper, jammies, and sleep sack, turn on soft music, bottle, book, paci, and then into the pnp while drowsy but not asleep with the white noise machine on.
Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Kind of, she has been all.over the place with naps lately, but if I see she's getting tired I try to get her in the Merlin and put on the white noise machine and put her in her PNP with her pacifier.
How is baby fairing this winter? Any illnesses? Dry skin? So far, so good. She had a cold in Nov but since then she's been ok.
Does baby have a favorite book? Not yet, she seems to like all the books.
Does baby have a favorite song? She loves anything my husband whistles to her. As soon as he starts she starts moving her arms and legs like crazy! It's so cute.
Anything exciting happening in baby world? She seems to be doing new things every day and she's curious about everything. It's just really cool.
Do you have any questions? Anyone who has started solids having pooping issues? M is pooping but her poops are small and hard. I thought it might be bananas so I stopped those but today it was the same thing. Just don't know if it's normal or if I should worry.

How old is your little one? 5.5 months
Have you started solids? I tried rice cereal a couple of times, but I’m not trying to rush it.
What is baby playing with and loving? She likes a lot of different toys.
Has baby rolled both ways? Yes. But, she’s mostly rolling back to belly then getting angry - it seems she forgot she can roll back.
Is baby sitting up on his/her own? If propped, but I read something about how it’s best if they learn to get them self into the sitting position, so I’m not pushing it.
Where is baby sleeping for naps? At night? Crib for both.
What does baby wear to bed? One piece and fleece sleep sack. H likes to put her in one pieces, so I can’t really call them pajamas - it’s more like lounge wear in this house.
Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Diaper change, sleep sack. Then I turn on stars and noise machine. She goes in the crib, gets the paci and her seahorse.
Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Same as night, but without the sleep sack.
How is baby fairing this winter? She’s had mild head cold. Her cheeks get dry.
Does baby have a favorite book? Nope.
Does baby have a favorite song? Not that I know of.
Anything exciting happening in baby world? Not really. I think R is on the verge of a lot of things.

He gets so happy when he’s rolled himself over but then when he’s done with it he gets SO MAD and screams until I flip him back over or pick him up- I’m always telling him, dude! You know how to roll belly to back! Just roll yourself!! And he doesn’t. I think he forgot he can do it bc he did that roll first, lol! Silly babies.

When she's over being on her tummy she just fries until I roll her or pick her up. MH and I were like, why doesn't she just roll back?? Glad it's common!

How old is your little one? 5.5 months
Have you started solids? What have you given? What does baby like? Yes, so far oatmeal, sweet potato and apples. Not impressed with any of it so far so I’ve stopped the last couple days. Try again in a few days maybe. I’m in no rush if she isn’t ready.
What is baby playing with and loving? She has this little plush farm barn that has these little soft farm animals that go in it and make sounds. She loves chewing on them lol. She also likes that light up rattle someone recommended here but I can’t remember the name.
Has baby rolled both ways? Yes, she is halfway across the rug most days. We need to really start baby proofing.
Is baby sitting up on his/her own? Yes only for like 5 seconds or so.
Where is baby sleeping for naps? At night? Just moved to the crib the last couple weeks. It’s been a game changer! We’ve made good progress.
What does baby wear to bed....jammies, swaddle, sleep sack, etc? Jammies and sleepsack.
Do you have a bedtime routine? What is it? Just recently. Bath (not every night), jammies, nurse, sleepsack, white noise, song, kiss and hug, crib.
Do you have a naptime routine? What is it? Not really. Just white noise and in the crib with her bunny lovey.
How is baby fairing this winter? Any illnesses? Dry skin? Ugh it’s been rough. She has been sick so much from my toddler starting preschool. It sucks. Definitely some dry patches of skin here and there. Cheeks a little too.
Does baby have a favorite book? No, not really.
Does baby have a favorite song? I sing this baby bath time song from Doc Mcstuffins that she loves for some reason 😂
Anything exciting happening in baby world? Better sleep recently and she finally is a less cranky baby which is so nice.
Do you have any questions? Not right now!
