Age: 5m 1w Milestones: sits independently, imitates waving and is getting more interested in rolling. He went back to belly for the first time today! He also loves practicing and is getting better at standing while holding onto something. Rants/raves/questions: L is my little ray of sunshine. I just can’t get enough of him. Also at the risk of jinxing everything, he has been asleep now for about 3 hours, which is the longest stretch we’ve had in a while, so I’ll cautiously rave about that. What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? I started Weight Watchers this week. Exercise is nearly impossible right now between pumping during all of my free time at work and dealing with two kids in the evenings, so I feel good about regaining control of my food choices and kickstarting my weight loss again. GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? Is sitting in a dark, silent room alone a hobby? If not, biking. My boys 😍

Age: 4 months
Milestones: rolling back to belly & belly to back, smiles, laughs, giggles, & coos
Rants/raves/questions: DS2 is the best baby. He’s so happy & chill. Praying the 4 month sleep regression doesn’t ruin that and me lol
What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? I bought myself some new black leggings. I hope at least one pair fits. Sadly that’s all I got.
GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? Sewing or crocheting

Age: 4 months Milestones: lots of laughing and chatting. Starting to sit independently for a few seconds at a time. Rants/raves/questions: I yelled at him for the first time yesterday and have felt terrible since. He's been so cranky since he got his shots on Monday and I had him in the wrap and he just kept screaming. What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? I just did my nails today. I don't have to worry so much about chipping since we have a dishwasher now. GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? My brother got me into watching doll modding videos and I really want to try lol. Also I'm really interested in fiber art. The plan is to eventually have a few alpaca and I'll make yarn and then sell that and products made from it. But no time/room for that right now Let’s see all the cute babies & siblings!

Age: 5mo next week Milestones: Such a fun age ! Cooing all the time, to herself, her sister, us. Smiling to everyone. Laughing if we tickle her or if her sister does stupid things. Rolls all over the place, loves seating up and seeing everything. Rants/raves/questions: Her sleep is super inconsistent, she eats always the same amount at roughly the same time, and sometimes she sleeps until 8am sometimes she is up at 4.30am. What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? I organized a fun sip and paint night with girlfriends for my birthday next week. And I bought new clothes and new shoes. GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? I want to start learning guitar again. But in another life, I would like to design and sew children’s clothes. Let’s see all the cute babies & siblings!

Age: 4m1w Milestones: Rolling both ways, occasionally sleeping through the night. She has her 4m appointment tomorrow and I’m anxious to get new stats. She just moved into 3-6m clothes. Rants/raves/questions: F continues to be the smiliest baby. I adore it. She also is the crappiest napper. I’ve tried all.the.things. She doesn’t nap well under perfect conditions in her room, today we went to the zoo and she crap napped pushed in the stroller, worn, and even in the car. For a while sticking the paci back in would work but even that doesn’t cut it now. She’ll do 3 or 4 30 minute naps a day and be losing all her shits by bedtime. I am not a fan. The only good nap she ever gets is if I lay in bed with her but then I feel like a prisoner. What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? Send DD1 to her grandparents a lot. She and I butt heads a lot and I have no patience for the threenager antics. But luckily the grandparents adore her and beg for more time so it works out. GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? I’d like to do more with the hobbies I have I guess. I need more money for more camera lenses. But I did just set up a crafting corner for my Silhouette in our new place so I’m excited to do way more with that.

Age: 5 months and 5 days Milestones: trying to sit independently, eagerly watching us eat so I guess food will be happening soon Rants/raves/questions: We moved yesterday. What’s something you’ve done lately for self care? Um, moved? I listen to books while I drive and usually read for pleasure while pumping. Last night I ordered bath bombs for my new tub and am looking forward to that first soak! Tomorrow H and I are off to catch up from the move and will get to basically have a day date. GTKY: if you had the time/money/space/energy for a new hobby, what would you choose? Crocheting for a new one. Uninterrupted baking for a current one. Let’s see all the cute babies & siblings!
