6 months Mama/Baby update

[JeresMom]

was thinking it would be neat to due some pictures and some posts.  Post an update letting us know how you as a Mama are doing and of course that sweet litle one :)

[JeresMom]

Here's me and my oldest Jeremiah (2years8months) in December on our visit to Flagstaff AZ

AND Jonah (6months) in Tucaon AZ in December.

I have to say that this is absoluty just an amzing experience.  Jonah is my 2nd child and most likely our last : (  so we have been so relaxed and been able to enjoy everything.  Jonah is fantastic he is always happy, sweet and cuddly, laughs at everything, and only fusses when he's wet or hungry.  Also has slept quite well. 

We have taken both are children on an airplane from east coast to west the week before christmas (crazy right?) and they were amazing the hardest part was getting between the gates but only b/c of our carseats!  They were (are ) so good!  As I always tell people they are not prefect (noone is)but they are so good "when it counts"

to top it off yesterday a commercial size truck ran the red light and took of the front of my van with my kids and I in it.  Luckily I saw the truck before it hit and slammed on my brakes otherwise my boys and I would not be here today!  I love them both so much and my Husband!  I am so unbelivably fortunate to have them all!

I'd love to hear from everyone else

I am doing pretty good. I am having a little bit of a hard time with Chloe reaching all these milestones. She is my third and final baby. I keep thinking back to how long it seemed to take with my boys to reach this point. With Chloe it seems to be happening at lightning speed. I am trying to enjoy it as it will be the last time I see this stage, but I am taking it kind of difficult. I feel good. She sleeps through the night. I absolutely LOVE to see her with her brothers! No one can make her laugh like they can! :)

Chloe is doing really well. She is very rolly-polly and rolling everywhere! She has sat up unassisted and she sat up twice by herself on the couch next to me! The other day she said her first word and it was "mama"! I was so excited! My boys both said "dada" first, so I was thrilled! Daddy pretended he didn't hear it cause he wanted her to say "dada" first. If I hold her up she will walk across the floor. My in-laws have a walker and she goes after her brothers forward across the floor. I can't wait till her 6 month check-up on the 18th (It was supposed to be the 12th, but I had to reschedule because we got a snow storm that dropped 2 feet of snow on us!)

*I don't have any pics of me-I'm always behind the camera! But I will have hubby take one this weekend and come back and update*

I just wanted to add that your son is just absolutely ADORABLE! And I'm so glad that you are okay after that accident! How scary!

m doing well, struggling a lilttl with Madison sleep.  She does 9 hours at night and even feeding her will not get her back to sleep.  Her day naps are horrible so she gets fussy pretty quick.  She was colic for 3.5 months which made things even harder with a 2.5 year old running around.   Do not get me wrong when she is not fussy she is a peach.  She giggles and smiles alot and is beginning to crawl.  She can pull herself around and now is trying to get the arm and leg motions to work the right way.   She loves to stand holding on to one finger on each hand.  she squeals in delight when we do this.    She has been sitting up unassisted for several weeks now.  If I could just get her to sleep better everyone will just alittle better off, Maddy mostly.

my recent pictures are on my phone, and i don't have internet on it. i'll see if i can send them to my sister, and have her e-mail them to me, and then i'll post.

anara kae was born july 31st, so she's among the youngest in the group, needs assistance sitting, etc. she likes to stand, though, so gotcha there. she likes to scoot backwards, so she'll be crawling any second. no words yet.

i read about potty training an infant (was it in here that i read about that??), and it was going really well until both dh and i got really sick in november. so now that we're feeling better again, we're starting it up again. which is really good because i'm sick of buying diapers every five minutes lol

i posted earlier about maybe having irish twins. that never happened, but i did find out on thursday i was pregnant again, and i was really excited. i ran a really high fever that night, and i'm still aching from it, and yesterday i started bleeding clots, so nevermind on that. this would be my first miscarriage (anara is my first baby), so it's kind of like, okay, i experienced one, let's never repeat that. i'm just grateful i didn't carry for long and get super attached or anything. onec the physical pain is over, i'm sure i'll be fine.

kind of a good thing, though, because i started producing waaaaay less milk, and i had like thirty frozen bags, and now we're down to ONE lol. so i have to build that supply back up. dh has been really great, helping me with everything, because lifting and bending is really painful right now. what REALLY stinks is that i got my hair cut yesterday because i didn't want to have long hair in the summer while pregnant again, and they took off TEN INCHES!!!!! and then i started bleeding a couple of hours later.

poop, i say!

My lil firecracker is six and a half months old already. She went to the doctor today and is 13.12 pounds. She loves to nurse, and is a great baby girl. Big brother Aydian loves her, and is adjusting well to her being around. She isn't meeting milestones as she is supposed to and needs glasses. We also have to take her for a hearing check becuase she won't respond to noises like she is supposed to. We love her though. She is perfect to us :)

Beautiful pictures everyone !

   Its been way too long and I really want to see this group active again. My DD is 7 months now. She is a breastfed baby and eats some solids. We just started most of them at 6 months. My DD is delayed vaccinated. She has only got 2 DTAP's and thats it. My DD is probably about 16 lbs at most. She wears 6-9 month clothing. She says a few words like ba ba, ma ma, da da, and I swear she says blah blah blah. She sits, crawls, and stands. She has 2 bottom teeth too. I'd say she is about average for everything. We are having some pictures done professionally this weekend and I can't wait. I bought her 2 dresses and a couple other outfits to wear.

Hey guys Tucker is now 7 going on 8 months old. i had him weighed about 1 month ago and he weighed 18lbs 4 oz. He has been eating solids since he was 4 months old. He can drink juice from a sippy and breastfed until 2 weeks ago. He is a pretty happy baby when mommy is around and everyone tells me he is spoiled. We just finally got the sitting thing down pretty good and he rolls to anywhere he wants to be, but does not crawl yet. I have been trying to get him to stand but it seems he does not like putting much weight on his legs. I hope to bring him to the dr. this week to make sure everything is okay with that. He has no teeth yet but loves to eat mum mums and cherrios but hates puffs.He has said da da and ba ba and says ma when he wants me. We took him swimming when he was 6 months old and he loved it. I hope to go swimming again in the next few weeks. He loves bath time and loves our dogs.We finally started sleeping through the night when i stopped breastfeeding him and i think that is becasue he realized i wasnt going to breastfeed him anymore so there was no point to getting up, becasue I work full time so he was taking a bottle during the day and breastfeeding at night.  Currently we live in Ohio but are thinking about moving, but I don't know if I could move due tot he fact of Tucker not rowing up with his cousins.
