1. How old is your LO? 5 months today 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? He is starting to get pretty good at sitting up on his own. We are slowly introducing solids and he can drink out of a cup, which is the most adorable thing ever. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Transitioning out of the swaddle. Sleeping longer stretches at night. Neither are going too well. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I've been back at work for 2 months. I'm at the office 3 days and work another 8 hours from home. ETA: 7. I'm working on a bat costume for J, like this one. I'm not really into dressing up but H and I will wear all black and wear vampire teeth.

@icedtea, he's only tried banana so far but I also let him gnaw on my apple and he was super into it. I have an avocado at home to try next. I think we'll do mostly mashed stuff for now and try something closer to baby led weaning after 6 months.
I can't believe F is scooting already! J has been rotating when I put him on his tummy. I'm not ready for them to be mobile!

1. How old is your LO? 9.5 months
2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? He took his first steps this past weekend! He is standing on his own briefly (when he doesn't realize he's doing it, he does well)
3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Trying to have another baby 😂
4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I'm staying "at home". I work for my grandmother two days a week, which pays my bills.
6. And feel free to share pictures! I will, let me open TT.
Pooooooooooof
This is our useless crib. He tries to climb out so we only use the PNP until he learns not to climb or have another baby. We use it for play while I clean his room or put away laundry.
ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? Yes! Scooby Doo, Daphne, Fred

I'm on a forever long cycle now. Ugh, that's annoying, I always had long cycles. Are your cycles still out of whack PP? Is that a thing? We are trying to decide if and when we are going to start trying again. Eep.

1. How old is your LO? 7.5 months 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She's pulling herself up to stand, and just recently figured out clapping which is pretty adorable. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Still not STTN - her wake-ups vary a lot and we haven't been able to consistently work on them. It seems like we think we've tackled one and then it creeps back in. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I'm doing okay except for still being tired. I have been back at work for 3 months now. Work is tough right now but I am trying to sort something out to make it better. 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? The baby is dressing up as a lobster. Maybe I'll put on an apron but I'm not feeling a costume this year. We don't get many trick-or-treaters and usually go to a concert. When I'm on my phone I'll add photos

1. How old is your LO? 11.5 weeks 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? He blows bubbles like a champ. Lol fluid eye/head movement starting to grab and hold on to toys. He hates tummy time. That's still a work in progress so he can learn to roll over. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Well we can't teach him to sleep better, but that's something I'd love eventually. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I SAH and will for the foreseeable future. 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! 6. And feel free to share pictures! ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? I'm hoping to get him a monkey costume because I have a banana costume I love to wear. But I'm not sure if we are even doing anything yet.

@starzia, it took us a while to get pregnant and then SIL1 got pregnant a month later (as soon as they started TFAS) SIL2 got pregnant 6 months later (also very soon after starting TTC) and I did have some feelings. I have gotten over it and now I'm happy that J will get to have cousins so close in age. It is fun watching babies interact. It is okay to have feelings but I bet you'll love having other babies in the family.

Hi! I’m here. Thanks for the tag! I’m home because DS has the stomach bug (ugh), so I’ll come back and play later.
