Baby Birthdate: August 25

Size clothing baby is wearing? 6 months (woohoo!) and a few 6-9 months

Number of Teeth? Big Fat ZERO even though I can feel 2 on the bottom that haven't come through.

Is your baby crawling/walking/pulling up/sitting/etc? J can sit up on his own but he doesn't really like to. He does a scooting thing on his stomach while trying to crawl. He can get all over the place doing it but it isn't actually crawling. Sort of an army crawl I guess? He has also started holding on to the couch and trying to walk along it but I have to pull him up on it, he can't do it himself.

How many naps does your baby take per day? How long are they? Where do they nap? Between 2 and 3. When he takes 2 they are usually 1-2 hours. When he takes 3 he usually has a 30 minute one, one between 40-60 minutes, and one between 1 hour and 1 1/2 hours. I like the 2 naps a day better.

Favorite toys? He really likes his exersaucer, his Baby Einstein Radio, and he loves chewing on his board books.

What is baby eating? Purees? Finger foods? Puffs? Tons of purees. He loves all fruits, every vegetable except green beans, yogurt, oatmeal, rice, etc. He doesn't really like finger foods yet though he has eaten rice and pasta. I just break them into pieces and he eats them. He ate like 4 stir fry noodles one day in sauce and loved them. We've tried giving him puffs and mum mums but he gags on them.

How do you offer chicken/meat/real food? I buy the pureed meat in a baby food jar. I pureed my own chicken this weekend but it grossed me out. J likes it ok though. Tofu I have just broken into very small pieces and he either picks it up or I put it in his mouth.

Favorite food? Avocados mashed, avocado and spinach puree, yogurt

Least favorite food? Green Beans

Is baby drinking from a cup? Which one? yes, he does well with the 360 cup. He can also drink out of my glass if I'm holding it

How many wake ups per night on average? (why won't these kids sleep???) The average is 2. Every now and then it's 3 and on occasion it's 1.

Do any of your kids after a MOTN wake up do this thing where they fall back asleep on your arms after eating and when you’re trying to transfer them to the crib they wake up and start freaking out / scream crying and you have to just hold them until they’re in a deeeeep sleep? YES. He went a while without doing this but in recent weeks this happens once or twice a week. We've also had the issue where he finishes eating, is wide awake, and freaks if you try to put him in the crib. Some nights I'll hold him for 10 minutes after he falls asleep then put him in the crib, other nights we try CIO. In the middle of the night I usually won't do CIO for more than 10 or 15 minutes though so sometimes I end up going back in to pick him up and hold him. Thankfully this happens once a week or less.

Bedtime routine involves reading a couple of books. N will not sit still for them anymore, he just squirms and flips and flops until we let him run (crawl/cruise) around his room. Anyone else? I just keep reading him the books but it seems pointless? J absolutely loves books. He will sit on me and look at them for 3 or 4 books. This is usually before nap time though. Before bed he usually will only sit for one then starts whining. As a teacher, I'd keep reading them even if N isn't looking. He will still be exposed to the cadence of reading a book and the language which are both important.

Summer is coming....have you bought baby suncreen yet? If so, which one? Yes, I just bougth Blue Lizard Baby because I heard it's sensitive and it works.

Have you bought your baby sunglasses or a hat? If so, please share! Yes, I posted a photo of J in his sunglasses. They are just from Carter's but they are hilarious. no hat yet because he doesn't like them but we need one for when he goes outside.

Any questions? Do you put your kid in a sleep sack when it's warmer outside? It's part of our nap and bedtime routine so we've kept on doing it.

Do any of your kids after a MOTN wake up do this thing where they fall back asleep on your arms after eating and when you’re trying to transfer them to the crib they wake up and start freaking out / scream crying and you have to just hold them until they’re in a deeeeep sleep? I can feed him and just lay him down (🙏). Sometimes he will fuss but I know he is fed and good so I let him cry. Normally after a few minutes he is out.

Bedtime routine involves reading a couple of books. N will not sit still for them anymore, he just squirms and flips and flops until we let him run (crawl/cruise) around his room. Anyone else? I just keep reading him the books but it seems pointless?

H isn’t a big fan with books right now. I try sometimes but I just let it go. DS1 was the same and as he got older he got back into it.

Babyganics! It has always worked great with my first.

Baby Birthdate: Aug 27

Size clothing baby is wearing? 9 month

Number of Teeth? 2

Is your baby crawling/walking/pulling up/sitting/etc? She likes to roll places. She can sit independently. She gets on all 4s and rocks but then plops down and rolls. She can also slide backward.

How many naps does your baby take per day? How long are they? Where do they nap? 2 naps. About 1.5 hours each, usually. In her crib.

Favorite toys? Hot wheels cars because they are always readily available. 😂 Stacking cups are a favorite to bang together loudly. Pretty much whatever she can get her hands or mouth on.

What is baby eating? Purees? Finger foods? Puffs? She doesn't like purees. The only thing she'll eat off of a spoon is yogurt, which she loves. Everything else is finger foods. She LOVES to eat. I just give her whatever we're having. Ok, except the night we had steak. She got leftover chicken that night.

How do you offer chicken/meat/real food? Tiny cut up pieces. About the same size as the puffs.

Favorite food? Baby food: The Happy tot creamies. Regular food: grilled chicken or black beans or yogurt or or or...she loves it all

Least favorite food? Maybe carrots or peas? It's the last thing she'll eat but she does eat them.

Is baby drinking from a cup? Which one? She likes to drink out of my open cup. But for herself, she can do any of the straw cups. And the MAM sippy cup is easy for her to do when she remembers to tip it up.

How many wake ups per night on average? (why won't these kids sleep???) I'll go with 2. It changes basically every night. 2 is probably average though.

Do any of your kids after a MOTN wake up do this thing where they fall back asleep on your arms after eating and when you’re trying to transfer them to the crib they wake up and start freaking out / scream crying and you have to just hold them until they’re in a deeeeep sleep? Yes. I give her the nuk and let her cry. It breaks my heart. But I'm hoping soon she'll get the idea and just put herself back to sleep.

Bedtime routine involves reading a couple of books. N will not sit still for them anymore, he just squirms and flips and flops until we let him run (crawl/cruise) around his room. Anyone else? I just keep reading him the books but it seems pointless? She has her moments. If she's really not into it, I just continue on with the next thing in the routine. We read books randomly throughout the day, so she still gets a little of that.

Summer is coming....have you bought baby suncreen yet? If so, which one? Cerave baby for my eczema kids. DS I sometimes use Neutrogena pure & something.

Have you bought your baby sunglasses or a hat? If so, please share! We have the iplay hat for her x2.

Ds1 did this every single time. Soooo frustrating. Baby h I can put down drowsy but awake and he falls asleep. I'm still in shock.

I've been delinquent with books. They are still so young. I need to do it more but probably won't add to bedroom routine until he's older. He always tries to cram the whole book into his mouth.

My doctor said there wouldn’t be 9 month shots.

I did introduce peanut butter. Went well.

Sunscreen, DD has a reaction to sunscreen I feel badly because I don’t know what it was. I was a a friends. We took the kids outside. I asked to use her baby sunscreen. Anyways I got an aveno sensitive sunscreen. I should have known better with DD getting rashes from scented soaps that she would need sensitive sunscreen. She needs sensitive anything. Pharmacist who hooked me up with baby hydrocortisone cream ( OTC but behind the counter) said lower SPF is better for sensitive skin and the sensitive ones have zinc oxide in it. Like he diaper rash cream. Who knew?

Hey what is the OTC hydrocortisone that you use? J has a prescription one but we run out before the month is over and can refill which sucks.
