Infant Check-in (10/18)

[oldbaylover1024]

Age: 8 months

Milestones: I can't think of any major ones. He's doing much better with his pinching - grabbing food and actually getting it in his mouth.

Challenges: Baby proofing! This kid is all over the place all the time!

Funny/cute stories: We took him to a family gathering on Saturday and there was a buffet. He saw all the food and literally tried to push his way out of my arms to get to the trays of food. I am in trouble. Well, my grocery budget is in trouble LOL

How are you? Tax season is over! I'm trying to spend more time at home and enjoy the kids more.

Anything else? Worried about the shooter in MD. Too close to home.

QOTW: He's in 9m right now, but he should be in 12m. I'm lazy and haven't swapped his wardrobe, but 90% of it still fits... yeah... it fits LOL

Age: 8 weeks

Milestones: he is smiling socially, he is going through s developmental leap and it’s so funny to watch him see something new and it’s like you can see his brain being like WHOA!

Challenges: sleep. Reflux. Poop explosions only when we are out- every. Damn. Time.

Funny/cute stories: he loves fans. He loooooves them. I can plop him down staring up at the ceilings that have fans and turn on a light so there are shadows and have a good ten min to myself bc he will just chat at the fan and coo and smile. He smiles more at the fan than ya lol. It’s adorable.

How are you? Okay. Getting used to less sleep.

Anything else? Today he had a poop-splosion while in the carrier - it went all up his back - but when I opened his diaper it was just so little in there- it like decided to go up the back instead of down into the diaper— WHYYYYYYY 😩

QOTW: It's been awhile: what size clothes is your little one wearing? Hah. He has been in 3mo or 0-3mo since he was 6weeks old! And we are finishing this box if size 1 diapers and then it’s time for size 2. My child is large. I love my chunky boy! Some of his size 3mo clothes are getting tight but tough noogies.
