dashook I look at M and think the same thing. She is just breathtaking to me. I realize everyone thinks that about their own babies, but man, she's perfect. True but M is also really friggin' beautiful. She really is. You should look into baby modeling sophiegrace.

Well that sounds amazing. I miss free babysitting. I shudder to think what a sitter up here will charge for 2, but I need to get on it and find out (and fine some sitters!) We need a date night. . I just paid $15 an hour but that was DC and a terrible baby (because that is what C is for anyone except me and H) I think $12 is generally ok. Are you connected with the base spouses? I know often they have co-op type situations or at least older siblings that are available for babysitting. And you are VB correct? I have some connections there if you want actual sitter recs for the area. Yes, we paid $10 for one kid in FL, and I feel like average was $8-10 so we were on the high end. $12 seems reasonable. It's definitely not as expensive here as in DC but it's slightly higher COL--in my opinion--than FL. I haven't really gotten plugged in on base yet, but I'm in several FB groups that I can ask in. Yes, we're in VB so if you know of anyone I'm open. My mom's BFF said she used to drive to the high school bus stop in their neighborhood to find babysitters. LOL. Couldn't do that nowadays

I should really start doing the slightest bit of homework for my fantasy football draft tomorrow night.
I am probably going to nap after I finish this status report though.

My dad is out of surgery & in recovery. They saw mild improvement in the OR and they're hoping to see more in the next few weeks. They'd like him to get up and walk around tonight but it will depend on how he does in recovery.

tgrimes So happy your dad is out and all sounds good so far! sophiegrace and dashook Completely agree ! I feel like they are totally different little people now than they were weeks ago. And the beauty. It is breathtaking for sure !!!!! I remember when I was trying for babies and then found out I was pregnant, I'd always ask "when does it get easier" - people have all types of smart ass comments - but I can say now, if anyone ever asks me I'd say 9 months is wonderful. Still hard, still have no clue what you're doing, but the little people they are becoming really speaks to me.

Unfortunately her modeling career won't be taking off anytime soon. When she got her pictures taken at 8 months it was two hours of RBF for the photographer before she finally gave us a smile for the camera. Stinker.

Lol!!! So glad to hear your pop is doing well. I missed what he was going in for. Hope it wasn't anything too serious and the recovery is short and sweet.

Some of us still don't technology well enough for the Snapchat! He was running back and forth along my bed for about 20 minutes. The kid does not stop. I'm going to be in trouble when he actually starts walking without help. Oh and he figured out how to open the nightstand drawer.

He's not really standing yet but he's getting crazier and tries to jump off the bed or falls forward knowing I'm going to catch him. I'm posting a video on FB for you 😀

This was my sister; she didn't walk til well past a year and my mom was starting to get concerned. But really, she was just lazy and happy being a lump. She eventually figured it out 😜 H will probably surprise us all and just get up and run one day.

Glad your dad is out of surgery tgrimes! I can't believe C goldenlove! He's a wild child! But looks like he may tire himself out eventually. Haha! All our babies should be models. Let's just make an N'16 cute baby catalog. Then we'll all be super rich and attend GTG's like every month.

So it's 4:30 am and I awake to J standing up in his crib whacking the hell out of his mobile. Not tapping, legit whacking. It's scared the crap out of me when I heard it on the monitor.
