I've got 2 random questions. Do you put shoes on your baby? I don't have any shoes for him because he can't walk and thought nothing of it but when we were out walking around the other day DH asked why I didn't have shoes on him. I honestly never thought to put them on him. Second questiin...j has a bumpy rash on his chest, belly, and one side of his face. Any thoughts on what it is? I called the dr. Today and they said to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse come in but I wanted to know if anyone else has had this. It's a bunch of little bumps and some areas are red I think I read it’s better for baby’s feet to not put on shoes. Especially when they are learning how to walk. Something about being able to feel the ground with their feet. Did you change your detergent, body products, or possibly put on new clothes without washing them? Their skin is so sensitive, it could just be something simple like that.

bsouls, sorry for the fight with YH. Lifestyles change a lot with kids and you have to just roll and adapt to it. I’m definitely trying myself. Usually I’m the last one to leave a wedding and now I’m the first. And throw another kid into the mix and it’s a game changer. Hopefully things calm down for you all.

I'm so behind! Leap 4 has hit us hard. Baby h is so fussy and has been fighting nursing all day. I've finally got him to nurse but he'll only nurse on the right side. He was up multiple times last night too. I really hope this doesn't last five weeks!! jexxa Not sure if I see a tooth. I've been thinking baby h is teething the way he's acting but I haven't seen anything on his gums. I can't remember who asked (I'm on mobile). We don't do shoes until baby is walking, just socks. I nursed ds1 till about 2 years. He bit me a few times but the teeth didn't change nursing that much. My house is such a wreck and it's driving me mad. I'm tempted to just stay up all night and clean.

I’m just blowing up the thread now. lol we just got home from the wedding festivities and I’m so glad A did as well as he did. He even slept in the RnP 1030pm-2am! I’m sure it’s because of staying up late and all of the stimulation. But I’ll take it. I didn’t get to take advantage of that sleep tho, I had a red bull before the wedding and I couldn’t fall asleep. I haven’t had one in over a year, so I shouldn’t have drank the whole thing.

thinkchocolate05, leap 4 sucks. I still have over 2 weeks and it comes and goes. I’m ready for the sunny period! Just in time for 4 month sleep regression and vaccines 😖

king26 I had shoes on the twinkles for Thanksgiving, more so for the outfits. They won't leave them for more than a few seconds so I don't bother.

My we're all so quiet these past days Still recovering from too much family time and turkey&stuffing and other good food coma? Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the weekend. Yesterday was a real crap day here but today has been pretty great! I slept like a charm till the alarm went off - MH had to work this weekend - then got up and had breakfast, fed D. and cuddled with her a bit before putting her back in bed where she fell asleep pretty soon again and we both slept another 1.5 hours! Bliss! She's also been taking naps today, after refusing them all friggin day long yesterday. They wre not long ones but she's had 2 45 minute naps this afternoon which gave me some much needed down and me-time. And a rested baby is a much happier baby, too. She's currently babbling while on her play mat, so cute. I'm going to feed her in a bit, MH should be home from work soon so it'll be nice for him to have some time with D. once she's done eating as well. And hopefully she'll go down for another nap so I can cook dinner and actually eat it together with MH heh in stead of taking turns

P is regressing in her sleep which i’m sure is due to leap 4. She went from STTN, to 1 wake up the last few nights, and then last night she woke up twice and was up for the day by 6:15. She’s also been fussier during the day. I can’t believe this stupid leap lasts for 5 weeks!
DS was also up super early this morning for some reason. And I have another freakin cold. Send coffee and wine 😫

I have a car seat question for those who have used or have bucket seats. The regulations say up to 30lbs/30ins whichever comes first. That can almost be a year old! I definitely will not be able to carry the seat in and out of the car much longer, it’s getting so heavy.
Did you keep the bucket seat until they hit the 30 lb/in? Did you just keep it in the car and take baby out of it every time after it got too heavy? What seat did you get next?
TYIA!

We traveled to my Moms for Thanksgiving, which involved a normally 6 hr drive taking a few hours longer both ways. L got to meet the rest of her Aunts/Uncles/Cousins and we exchanged Christmas gifts among the kids. Now we’re back home and I’m battling another cold. Trying to work on the Christmas decorating today!
@easilyunamused Yes, you can just leave the seat in the car and take baby in/out like you do with a convertible seat. Or switch when you want. I think I put DS in the convertible seat around 9 months? He’s tall though. We have a Chicco Nextfit for him, but it doesn’t fit great in all cars bc the sides are pretty high.

jexxa, ugh sorry about sleep regression and another cold, ugh. We have had a no napper here lately and cranky so I’m over this leap too already! muscari, glad your having a good day with D. We also usually have to switch off for dinner. @easilyunamused, yeah I️ already feel like the bucket seat is heavy, ugh. We switched DD1 at like 9 months and will likely end up doing the same or leave it in the car.

So last night j woke up after 3 hours 45 minutes which sucked but then he went down for 4 hours then another 2.5 hours! That's the most he has ever slept at night and the most sleep I've had in at least a month. So why am I so tired today???
Is anyone else still holding or rocking their lo to sleep? I hate doing it but we can't get him down any other way.

@easilyunamused we switched DS to the convertible seat around 8 or 9 months because he hit the height limit. We have the Graco 4ever in my car and H has the Evenflo Symphony LX in his car.

king26 we have to give P her antibiotic at bedtime and it apparently tastes horrible, so I give that to her and then immediately nurse her in the rocking chair. Most of the time she falls asleep, but if not I just put her in the crib away and she eventually falls asleep.

J is usually fairly noise sensitive when he naps but he just took an hour and 45 minute nap and I got so much done. I paid bills, loaded dishwasher, made fudge, took photos for my blog, put away laundry, and made some bottles. He didnt move a muscle. He must have been exhausted and i feel so accomplished! Plus dh isnt here si it was like a bonus break.

I slept in today and then we went grocery shopping. Both girls napped and we fit sex in. And, now I’m watching football.
I’m thinking we will put the Christmas tree up next week. I got R’s Christmas ornament from Etsy. I’m not looking forward to more clutter in the living room, but T will be excited to have the house decorated.

Oh, and I just said to H today that I think we are going to have to get R a convertible car seat soon. We switched T a little after 9 months, because MIL bought them for Christmas. But, R is so big and H just moved the straps on the bucket to the last position.

Also, I bought j an ornament on etsy too

He’s pretty much in charge of the car seats.
