o/t - baby updates!!!

My little Grey-bear is 4 months old today....I can't believe time has gone so fast. He's very good with his hands and can grab and put things in his mouth...he cooes and burbles all the time...he's very easy and laid-back. At his 2-month check-up he was 25 inches and 11lbs3oz. I'm guessing 27inches and 13 lbs for his 4-month. He's such a happy little baby...and his big sister is totally entranced with him.

He eats about 5-7 1/2 oz a feeding and he sleeps about 5-10 hours at night....but OMG that boy can put out a stinky fart. I'm asking his ped about it on the 23rd because I know that stinky farts can sometimes indicate lactose-intolerance..but he doesn't actually spit-up anymore so I'm wondering if he has another digestive issue....but it's not serious if there is one so I guess I'll find out on the 23rd lol.

I just wanted everyone to update on their little prince or princess so we can catch up on how everyone's been doing! How are everyone else's little angels? I know there are other forums but since I'm so close to many of the ladies on THIS forum I was hoping we could do the updates here :)

Thanks! She is always making faces and moving her eyebrows. She's always been a very expressive baby. I added a couple other videos also.

new pictures uploaded, the others did nto have his face s someone copied one before and the button with only my firends would not work so now there are some of his face.

That us cute how she patted him! My first was 13 months when I had the second and 15 months later had a third and then 17 months after that had #4. My first was very protective of her and too cute! I have pictures of Sophie when Lilah came along and she was having fun putting a whole page of stickers all over her as she laid there smiling and watching her:) Fun times! Now they are 9,11 and 13!! They grow so quick and I know I will have to have a little buddy for Henry too;)


It is so neat to see how they are all doing things around the same times!!! Herny is just now hitting the "Sponge phase" you know where they just watch and laern so much so fast! I love it!!!

I know! It really feels like yesterday to me too! I know they say time goes by quickly at this age, but this is rediculous!
I'll try to put up pics soon. I tried to put up some from my home computer, and for some reason it multiplied the pictures I added until there were about 50 copies of each picture!!! I have recent pics on my facebook page though!

My littlest man, Greydon, is 9½ months old and is doing wonderfully in EVERYTHING except for sleeping, lol. If any of you have see the journal about my baby refusing to sleep, then you know the gory details of a typical night for us. Since my last update to that journal, things haven't changed much.
*sigh* I keep telling myself that clichè "This too shall pass..." I'm rather sick of telling myself that, but I do find some comfort in it...
But, onto more positive things, because I do adore my lil' guy even though he's turned me into a semi-functional zombie, lol. He is cruising along furniture when he pulls himself up, and he can stand by himself, holding onto nothing, for about three to five seconds. If you're holding both his hands, he wants to walk everywhere, but if you only hold one hand, he will sit down and refuse to walk and figure crawling is faster and easier, lol.
He is ALL mischief (which he gets from his daddy, lol). If you tell him anything like, "no, no..." "ah, ah...no, Greydon," or "Don't you even think about it..." he will turn around and give this ear to ear grin and laugh, then do exactly what you don't want him to do, lol. It's hilarious and not funny at the same time!
He's saying "momma," "dadda," and "bub bub." Bub bub represents a few things, so context is important--it can mean big brother, bottle, or bounce bounce (he likes to bounce).
He is his brother's biggest fan and the two of them LOVE to rough house already. Greydon laughs for Trevor like no one else--he just adores him. And Trevor is the best big brother ever. He is always so good with Greydon. ☺
He still has yet to cut a tooth, but holy cow the boy has got jaws of super strenght, lol. And I must mention how very oh so cuddly he is! He is so suggable, loveable, kissable, huggable...you can just pick him up and hold him tight and snuggle into him and he's just so darn CUTE!

Now for my Big baby! Trevor is almost six years old...just two more days (Wednesday)! He is everything a six year old boy should be: a little attitude, a TON of energy, delights in the grotesqueness of bodily functions, and has a heart of gold. He is reading fairly well now and is a whiz at math. He's one of the top two in his class for developed fine motor skills (cutting paper, drawing pictures, and handwriting) and is ahead in his reading level; I think his teacher told me he's almost at the first grade reading level...I can't remember exactly for lack of sleep (thanks, Greydon), lol. He's growing tall and lanky and his feet smell terrible most days, lol.
But he is SUCH a GREAT kid! He has the funniest personality and the biggest, kindest, most sensitive and giving heart. He loves people and he has a level of compassion that is beyond his years, I think. We just had his birthday party on Saturday, and he made the decision to sacrifice getting gifts from his friends at his party and instead wanted donations to be made to The BabyJesse Foundation because he wants to help babies after learning of the loss of little Jesse. He told me in the days leading up to his party that he'd remind his friends at school that if they were coming, not to bring a present for him, but to have their parents give a donation because he doesn't want any more babies to die.
My heart just swells with pride over this boy! I can't believe he's going to be six years old in just a few short days. I remember his little 7lb, 2 oz, 20 inch self wrapped up like a little burrito and placed in my arms. Now when he tries to sit in my lap, he's got a boney little butt and he weighs 50 lbs and it's somewhat...painful as my legs fall asleep...but I still like to hold him close and nuzzle my nose into his hair. He'll always be my baby, no matter how big he gets!

AWW!!! KayKay's such a sweet girl! I can't wait to see how Elijah reacts to Miss No-name (yes, yes, STILL no name...). I can't believe Grey's four months old already!

She's so motherly, how she was calming him. She's gonna make you a grandma one day, a LONG time from now...a VERY long time from now!

Elijah did something similar, but with the dog, lol. We had Lucky in his kennel still since we can't let him out with Pudge because they fight and Elijah was telling him "don't worry, don't cwy" when Lucky started howling. I have a feeling when baby sister gets here he'll tell her the same, or at least I hope he does instead of saying "shut up" like he does when the dogs are barking.

I am for sure very lucky and blessed to have Elijah, I've seen so many kids since we've been back in the states that are absolute terrors, I can't believe half the things parents put up with! I'm afraid of what's gonna happen when I see them as teenagers!

5n1:: she snorts when she laughs?? that's ADORABLE!!!!! Sounds like she's growing just GREAT!!

Ammanda: I know i can't believe it...I LOVE watching updates about Cole on FB, he's such an adorable little boy...he's very handsome and so bright! you're doing a great job don't doubt yourself so much :)

CassandraJane:: I'm sure he's just being lazy...I can't wait to hear your update from your next scan!!!

Cass: Lilly sounds like she's doing awesome...I want more pictures of my little niecey!!!!! She's such a beautiful little princess!! *hugs* much love from all of us here

Clysta:: what a little angel!!! Sounds like you got yourself a little diva in the making...and I think ALL little girls should be divas. My daughter certainly is, LOL!

Alaysha:: wow that's AWESOME that she sleeps so well!!! and LOL@checking on her like a psycho..I still check on my 2-year-old once in awhile afraid that she'll have stopped breathing even though I know she's way past the worry for SIDS....guess that's being a mom, LOL

Manma:: you know that I'm up-to-date on my little neffers....He's such a doll-baby. I can't wait until we can do a skype playdate (i swear I'll find that webcam someday) for the kiddos and I can finally see my little Mister in action!!! <3 love you bestie

Brittny:: is there any way for us to see that vid without violating your FB privacy? sounds like she's doing great and I want to see your little princess! I'm so sorry your schedule is messed up it's SO hard to have a baby with a screwy sleep schedule...I've been there done that before :(. But I figure that whatever schedule works best for YOU is important, and until she's in school you don't need to have her on an 8pm-6am schedule or anything..so just go with what works!

30something:: WOW potty training already that's AWESOME!!! Little Henry sounds so precocious...how adorable!!! Do you have any more recent pics?? I love that he loves the itsy bitsy spider...too cute!

Brinny:: awwwww my other little neffers is such a cutie....We haven't been able to catch up recently b/c I've been so busy but I'm so glad that I got to hear what Elijah's up to these days...he's such a little prince of a boy, you're a lucky mommy (and obviously a very good one :D ) now if only we could convince him that pooping on the floor is totally not going to get him a girlfriend some day...LOL! *hugs* love you Brinny!

bluegenie:: OMG it seems like you JUST had him!!!! He's growing quite well and sounds like he's going to be mobile VERY soon...watch out momma!!! I thought that 7 months was a LOT of fun too...I really really loved 6-11 months with my daughter, it was SUCH a blast! I mean I loved it all but you know what I mean hahaha...do you have any recent pics up of your little man??


I forgot to update on my OTHER baby! Phew can pregnancy brain last this long?? LOL

Kahlan is 2yrs and just about 2 months...and she is SUCH a little diva princess. she can speak in 6 word sentences, and she's getting incredibly clear in how she speaks. she loves to hop and jump and yesterday she had this giant crayon piggy bank on the floor that she was hopping over..I dunno how she got the idea but she was so tickled with herself. she is SUCH an amazing older sister...this morning Grey was crying for a bottle so I went to the kitchen to make him one, and I came back and he was no longer crying..Kahlan had given him my teddy bear and was patting his stomach going "OH I know, I know...I know Gwey...Don't cwy, Gwey!!!!" and he was just grinning and giggling at her...they're such best friends. She's working on potty training but I'm letting her move at her own pace. She of course has all the 2-year-old aggravations like I put in mY "Toddlers. ugh." journal LOL but she really is such an angel as 2-year-olds go...I'm so freaking lucky and I know it...and with her little brother being so laid-back and easy I really have no complaints :). well, no SERIOUS ones anyway hahaha

I'm so happy everyone updated please keep 'em coming and add anything you forgot and/or let us know if you have pictures up...I LOVE being able to hear about everyone's little darlings!!!!!

I've loved reading all of the updates too!  I can't believe our babies are getting so big!

Braeden will be seven (!) months old next week.  He's been sitting up all by himself now for about a month and a half, and just in the past couple of weeks can get himself into a sitting position on his own from his stomach.  He LOVES anything with Winnie the Pooh on it (he'll play with Pooh toys for over half an hour on his own!) and is such a happy baby!  He loves bouncing, and is never happier than when he's in his jumperoo.  I swear he's going to learn how to bounce rather than walk!  He can get on his hands and knees now and rock, and he can move his hands like he's crawling, but hasn't figure out yet that his legs can move too, so he ends up on his stomach.  He is SO determined though!  I really think it will be any day now, he's so close!
No teeth yet, but he's drooling ALL over the place! He's eating solids twice a day,and I don't think he's met a food yet he won't eat!
He says Mama (and I really think he knows its me since he only says it when he sees me :-)  He also hugs now, which is SO awesome!   Can I just say how much I LOVE this age?  I've loved every stage he's gone through, but I really think this is my favorite so far.  He's just learning so fast, and he's so excited about everything he does!!!

I'd also like to second Burlington Coat Factory for itty bitty suits.  My sister got married when Braeden was 7 weeks old, and we got him a suit there for $20. It was the cutest thing ever!

Elijah is two years four months old. He's now 38 inches tall and about 32 lbs. Still above 90-95% for height and above 50% for weight.

I'm still amazed at how much he knows. He can count 1-10, he recognizes letters, not all but at least five, he knows most of his colors, he knows shapes...he knows animals. He uses up to seven word sentences.

He's polite for the most part, says thank you and please. He's such a worrier too, and he's so caring. He'll ask you if you're ok if you say ow, and he says "Bless you" when you sneeze. When he sees you have "boo boos" he'll look for something that resembles a band aid and try to put it on you, lol.

He CAN poop and pee in the potty and for two weeks had no accidents at all, but the closer I get to baby sister getting here the less he'll go on the potty and more on the floor. We've decided to put him back in diapers for now until after she's born so DH can help me more when he takes off work for a month, but we still let him go on the potty too.

Yesterday when DH and I were outside working on the fence he got on a chair and sprayed most of the kitchen floor with water and was "trying to clean up". He loves helping out, but does it in a two year old way, DH gets more aggravated than I do but yesterday I just smiled and laughed because he's trying to do good, he just doesn't understand he's still too young to do some things.

Of course he's still a two year old, and aggravating as all h-ll sometimes, but he's getting better. I'm sure three will be just as bad if not worse, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Over all he's not THAT bad as far as "terrible twos". For the most part fits and screaming only happen when he's tired, or not feeling well. I'm continuing to be blessed with a wonderful first child, and hoping his sister follows in his footsteps.

I still feel like I make it seem like Elijah should be stupid because I'm so amazed with everything, and can't believe he does things that he does. He's very smart, and it's incredible how much they understand at such a young age.

not sure then on the nappies, I know nothing of the UK. there whole sizing and money exchange is different. Funny is they meant jumbo meaning baby size! Have no clue:) I am sure you got the right size though. Newborn is newborn

I am sure his room is getting less and his movments will not be the swimming ones but the hard jab here and there at this point. A good glass of orange juice and laying on your left side will get babies moving almost always!

I love this post too:)

Henry just turned 5 months on the 10th, he rolls all over, says Mommy,mama,mum, and daddy and nite nite but it sounds like nii nii:), Hewalks around in his walker and does not like to be laying much at all anymore, He is just so interested in everything and stops when nursing to see what is going on, I swear he stops and goes so much like a trafic jam LOL. I am doing Ecing with him and that is fun but I can not get him to go on a potty when we are gone at stores yet. We started at 2 months part time then now we do most of the time and have few misses. He just now started liking the car so I get to go places now, haha. He goes to bed at 7 and gets up at 5 and wakes up every 1-3 hours during the night. Yep, I don't have a sleeper either, not good one the nap thing either! Soem days he will sleep for a couple hours once and other days only sleep a few min the whole day. He is a happy little guy though and laughs and giggles at everything. He loves to stick his tongue out and sing along with "The frog Song". He grabs everything he can get and arches his back to get in a any seat if ti has a strap LOL. His favorite book and song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider, I read it to him when I was preggo and he smiles and laughs when he first hears it. He gives kisses and reaches for ya now too which I love and he will reach right when I put him down some times and I just have to pick him up:) We were not sure what size he was for awhile as a nurse put the wrong weight down, well two on his chart! But as far as I know he is 16lbs and 25 1/2" long right now and wearing 9 months some 12 months.


Oh and for who ever asked Burlington Coat Factory has tons of suits for al ages!!!! They are better priced then Penny's and Dillards too. But yeah I have not seen anything under 12 months in suits either anywhere but there!


Cassandrajane~   You will need newborn diapers first and as the baby fills out you will need size one etc... The jumbo at least in the US just means the bigger pack of diapers and has nothing to do with size, and I miss hiccups too! Mine got them all the time! Gosh girl you make me miss being pregnant!

It warms my heart to read all the updates.  

K-bug is 11 weeks old now. I have no idea how big she is. At 8wks she was 9.12lbs 22 1/4 in long. She's still in a few NB size clothes but mostly 0-3 month that she swims in. I can't believe how the time has flown by. She is a very happy baby! She sits and coos and giggles at me now. She can hold on to a rattle and shake it. I posted a video on my facebook page. It took 9 weeks to get her breastfeeding. It was a chore and I kept at it and now she is a champ and doesn't like to take the bottle anymore.

She sleeps 8 hours eats and then sleeps another 4 hours normally. The last 3 nights she's been sleeping 5 hour stretches I think she's hit a growth spurt. I just wish that I could get her to bed before 5am. BF works till midnight and gets home shortly before 1am so I'm up and she is too. We watch a tv show or 2 while I'm trying to get her to bed. I've had her asleep by 12:30 a few times but not often. So my sleep schedule is all messed up too. I'm usually up around noon. I don't know how much she's eating since she's on the boob. I feed her every 2-3 hours during the day.

Awww...i love reading everyone's updates too...all the babies sound like they're doing so well :) that's great to hear!!

Matthew is six months old now and has *drum roll please* TWO TEETH :)!! Two little bottom ones right in the middle...cutest thing you've ever seen! We're still waiting for them to rise up completely before we take pictures tho...one (the first one) is almost all the way up and the other one has just popped through the gum....its soo exciting though! Im not sure how much he weighs exactly (about 17 lbs) his next appointment is in December. He is a finicky bottle eater in the daytime only eating about 4 oz every 5 hours...he's just too busy...he's got things to do people to see  you know :) . He does eat a fruit and some oatmeal for breakfast though and a veggie and Barley or Rice cereal at Dinner. He's also a big fan of "mum mum" crackers at the moment and gets a pack of those for a snack. He doesnt sleep through the night...(so thanks for rubbin it in all u lucky moms!) but he is getting close! he goes to bed at 8pm sharp every night and wakes up at about 12 or 1 and then goes back to sleep till 7 ..i change his diaper and give him a bottle and he goes back to sleep until 8am when mommy can open her eyes wide enough to not trip on her own feet :) He also holds his bottle all on his own every time now...its so fun to just be able to hand it to him and watch him go. He sits unsupported and plays with toys (he loves to bang stuff) he chatters like crazy and says "mama" and "daddy" he skipped "dada" and just went straight to "daddy" ...leave it to my son to do that LOL. he's also allergic to cinnamon (weird right?) and the dog and him are best buds...they play together all day..she cracks him up.

I could go on and on about Matthew all day....he's such a happy baby and a joy to everyone. He just cracks me up...always smiling and giggling and doing silly things. He is INCHES away from crawling...any day now...im holding my breath! Motherhood is an amazing ride isnt it ladies?
GrOw BaBiEs GrOw!!!
