Oh haaiiii. I'll play.
1. How old is your LO? 6 weeks
2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? Well for me, I had my 6 week PP check up today and got the all clear. DS2 is still in potato mode so....that's where we are lol. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? The gas. Omg. It was not this bad with DS1. I'm trying to watch my diet but dammit, I like my dairy.
ETA I should say DS2's gas, not mine lol. But it's really affecting his sleep; I know it'd be much better if he wasn't struggling so much at times. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? Staying home for now. It's going about as well as it can lol. DS1 is in K now so I lucked out that it's mostly just me and the baby during the week.
7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? DS1 is Groot so we were going to have DS2 be baby Groot (apparently there's 2? I've never seen the movies). I keep forgetting to order the little newborn groot hat though so...he may just be nothing lol.

Hi everyone!!! I don't have an infant anymore. She's becoming a little girl right before my eyes. 1. How old is your LO? Almost 13 months 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She standing on her own, but not quite walking yet. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Temper tantrums. She's starting to learn them. Honestly, sometimes they're funny because she's so dramatic. I wonder who she gets it from... 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I'm at work. Meh. 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? A is a kitty this year.

Thanks for the tag piratecat. I'm at the OB about to get my IUD placed, but I'll be back in a little bit to do the checkin. I forgot this section existed because my BMB didn't migrate over.

Thanks for the tag piratecat! 1. How old is your LO? 10.5 weeks 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She just discovered her hands so she self-soothes by shoving them in her mouth. She’s trying to roll over but she’s not quite there yet. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Getting her to nap anywhere but on me. It’s not going too well 😣 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? Things are good! I go back to work in 1.5 weeks, booooo. 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? I have a DS who will be 3 in two weeks and who is scared of a lot of things, including most things Halloween, so no one is dressing up. I have a skeleton sleeper and and a Halloween outfit for the baby that I’ll put her in.

jexxa, J has started taking longer naps in the swing and having that time during the day is so helpful. I hope your LO figures it out soon!

Thanks for the tag, piratecat! 1. How old is your LO? 12 days old ... born at 36w 5d so we haven't even passed his due date yet. I cannot believe that he's going to be 2 weeks in a couple days. 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? He's eating well, pooping well, and peeing well. I think those are the big ones at this age The time he spends awake is increasing and he isn't spending 45 minutes eating anymore (thank goodness). Still clusterfeeding though ... 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Getting his older brother on board with having a little brother. And maybe letting me sleep more than 1.5 hour at a time. DH is struggling a little bit ... DS1 was bottle fed and this baby is all about the boob, so DH is trying to figure out how he can help/calm him down without lactating. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? At home for now. I was let go around 30 weeks due to financial reasons (the other non-pregnant employee was let go as well). I will start job hunting in another month or two. I'm doing my best to get a handle on breastfeeding and functioning on little to no sleep! 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! 6. And feel free to share pictures! I'll share a pic when I'm on mobile later! ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? DS1 (will be 3 in January) is going to be a chef. I won't be dressing up and I have a Jack o lantern outfit for DS2.

Thanks for the tag piratecat and @icedtea (it's just Nymeria now - dropped the "Lady" when we moved over :-) )! 1. How old is your LO? R is 13 months, so technically not an infant anymore but I'll play! 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? walking - he took his first couple steps last night! He also managed to drink from his sippy cup while standing. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? He's starting to push boundaries and test us, like all toddlers do. If we stop him from doing something he'll laugh, give us a devious smile, and do it again. He's also biting, but I think his top teeth are working their way down finally so we just try to redirect him to toys he can chew on. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I work full time. Since I went back in January I've been working in-office 3 days a week while my MIL and mother watch R, and have worked from home the other 2 days. We have started the search for a daycare and he'll be going part-time, 3 days a week, with my MIL still watching him the other 2. Work sucks, but that's nothing new. I don't like my job but feel trapped because I've received stock options as part of my annual bonuses the past few years and financially it would be a stupid move to leave when they haven't completely vested yet. But it takes 4 years to fully vest so if I ever want to leave I will be leaving options on the table. 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! Not right now! 6. And feel free to share pictures! I'll try to remember to jump on Tapatalk and come share some. 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? MH and I won't dress up, but we do have costumes for R and our dog Hank. I bought a lab coat for our dog and a monster costume for R - they will be Dr Hankenstein and Hankenstein's Monster.

Oh tantrums.... R's learning to do that too. I tried to put him down the other day and he didn't want to be put down so he bent his legs back, arched his back, and threw his head back while crying. He lost, I still put him down, haha.

Thanks for the tag @starzia!! I'm so happy to see all of you guys, I've missed so many updates. I need to read in more detail in a bit!! I'll update now while I cart a crying baby around. 1. How old is your LO? My twin girls are just over 12w! Evangelina and Victoria. 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? They love their hands. E has been diligently working on sucking her thumb for a bit now. Sometimes she gets it, sometimes a random finger, sometimes it goes in her eye. V is interested in sucking on her hands too but much less intently. She loves rattles and anything that makes noise. They're both working on grabbing and trying to decide if they want to roll over. 3. What new challenges are you working on now? Witching hour is rough And then nighttime sleeping. They do not believe in long sleep stretches after 4am. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I started back to work yesterday! I work from home so the transition wasn't as bad. Today was the nanny's first day (I have nanny 3x a week and MIL 2x a week). Nanny was awesome and I'm hopeful it will work out well. 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! Not now but I will! 6. And feel free to share pictures! I will! 7. I'm just wearing a jack o lantern shirt and spiderweb leggings...the girls are going to be a lion and a mouse. Not super creative but I'm about tapped out and my mom bought the costumes so we're going with it. E on top, V bottom Victoria Evangelina

1. How old is your LO? 7 weeks today 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She has had a couple of smiles, is starting to be more awake and observant throughout the day, and can lean over a little bit- working toward a roll. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Just trying to get in a better routine. I need to have a more solid nap routine down before I go back to work. I also want to move her to her crib soon. I'm kind of dragging my feet on it because sleep has been good and she is probably our last baby. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I am still on FMLA until the first week of December. I'm kind of sad to jump back into the busy work life. I wish I could drop to part time because right now I have two jobs and it can get hectic. 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Not at the moment. Photo: ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? Maybe she will be a banana and I have a monkey costume. The banana costume might be too big, so we will see. If that doesn't work she has a few Halloween shirts I will put on her.

Thanks for the add @icedtea!! I can barely keep up with the FB group let alone this and our bmb but I'll play!
1. How old is your LO? 5 months next week
2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? K still doesn't like to roll over but she's getting much better at tummy time by stretching her hands out in front of her instead of doing this superman thing like she's flying. We're thinking of starting solids next week and doing a combo of blw and purees.
3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Sleep especially naps are a challenge. Also she's not too keen on my W putting her to sleep so if I want to prevent her getting hysterical I have to always do it which sucks.
4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I'm on the job hunt which sucks. I've done a bit of networking but I haven't been super active in my search mostly because I either need child care to go meet people or time when she's napping to do stuff on the computer.
5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! Not right now!
6. And feel free to share pictures!
ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? I'm making K an ice cream sundae costume. It might come out awful we'll see lol.

Mine is technically not an infant, but I'll still play
1. How old is your LO? 13 months
2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She started walking a couple of weeks ago, which has since turned into running, climbing, and chasing.
3. What new challenges are you working on currently? I'm perpetually worried about her eating and speech. She has 0 words unless you count pointing at everything and saying 'dat!' 6 million times per day. She also does not eat too much. It's a historical issue for her so we struggle to keep her on her growth curve. Also, tantrums. All. The. Time.
4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? Working. Wishing I could SAH, but it's not in the budget.
ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? I'm not dressing up. DD will be something. No idea what yet. She was a super cute baby chick last year though.

Aw, thanks for the tags, I'm excited to see this place get going again 1. How old is your LO? 8 months on Saturday 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? She's sleeping through the night and loving eating solids. She's trying so hard to crawl but so far just kind of inch worms along. She just learned how to wave and it melts my heart every time 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? She had some viral something last week which wasn't fun but she's feeling better now 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? Pretty good! I'm SAH which is exhausting, especially with how much my H travels for work, but we have a pretty good routine down 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? She's going to be a puppy, mainly so I can take a picture of her dressed as a dog with our dog Read more: howeverithappened.proboards.com/thread/8066/baby-hang-out#ixzz4wZPos2IS

1. How old is your LO? 6 weeks
2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? We are socially smiling and working on tummy time, although her head control is great so far!
3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Sleep, anyone?? M doesn’t like napping, which sucks!!!
4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I go back to work in January, and that’s already making me sad! Had my 6 week pp checkup yesterday and got the all clear, also couldn’t pull the trigger on an iud even though we are OAD. We moved 2 weeks ago, which is a special kind of hell with a newborn, way too much shit going on haha
7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? M has a Wonder Woman and Snow White costume, I will be me myself and I
After my father made a HIGHLY inappropriate comment about me getting back to the gym 2ish weeks ago, so not a chance of me thinking about a costume (FTR my ob complimented my weight loss, so fuck him...)
ETA pic from newborn shoot: *poof*
