Lets talk about 'the kids'...

I LOVE hearing these great stories !

Claud-I hope you both come to our 'kiddie' GTG !



PS-My willpower to stay on 'for short' periods is bad sometimes too ! yesterday I was on and off all day TODAY, I MUST get more stuff done (aside from smooching my boy who is always right by my side )

You all make parenthood seem so wonderful & fulfilling! Congratulations to all of you mom's (and Dad's) that make life turn for your little ones.

I dream of having these little stories to tell you all- but the stories have to wait a few months

Thanks Stace

Michele-it will be here before you know it, Im in denial that my son will be 6 months old tomorrow. I feel like he will a toddler in the blink of an eye... his first birthday is in October..too fast for me ! But its all WONDERFUL !


Jennbaby-I have a feeling you'll be joining us in no time !

This is a great thread!
Now I am getting REALLY impatient! LOL
C'mon baby...hurry up and come out!

Everyone sounds so adorable - I can picture all the little cuties doing their thing.

Here's what Luke is up to:

-rolls everywhere! I first rolled at the end of February but recently he became an avid roller. He did 2 360 turns in a row on Saturday and at the end his face looked like he was saying 'what happened?'

-can sit up very briefly. He rights himself as he tips over but them gravity takes over and down he goes, usually face first into his feet. His head is in the 95th perceontile so he's got alot to hold up.

-he rediscovered 'the raspberry'. This is another thing he learned a month or so ago but I guess he forgot how to do it. I have the 10 soggy bibs a day to prove he does it non-stop now. The other day my Mom & I were in the store and the salesperson said 'Bye cutie' to him and Mom said to Luke 'say bye bye' and on cue he blew the salesperson a big raspberry. We were laughing our a$$es off!

-he wants to stand like crazy. He legs have gotten so strong in the past 2 weeks, he went from the legs buckling to being really solid so fast.

-I know that ****iness that Anna described. I have also gotten a 'tude from him for taking a toy out of his hand. The back goes all stiff and boy oh boy, does he get his Irish up! He also had a fit recently when I was bringing him to the glider to feed him and instead of going straight (to where the glider is) I made a turn into his room to get the boppy - he had a fit on me!!! Do the terrible twos begin at 5 1/2 months ? LOL

-he's in love with his Dad. I just carried him in my belly for 9 months and feed and bathe him most of the time (Sigh!) I get plenty of smiles and all the other great stuff but when he sees Derek he lights up like you wouldn't believe. I hear they go through back and forth phases so I'm waiting for my turn.

-he's eating solids twice a day. He loves his food....and makes a huge mess. I'm a slave to cleaning that highchair!


Well those are the biggies for now. No teeth yet but all in good time.

Great topic!

I love hearing these stories !

ALot of what you said reminds me of John Anthony, since theyre so close in age.

What wonderful stories!!! I love hearing these and I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face and tears in my eyes (those raging hormones ) because I now know that I'll be joining in with my own stories in the near future!!! Something I always wished for, but thought would never happen!!!

Thank you all very much for sharing your children and the joy they bring you with us!!!
