O.K. how many people here are pregnant?

Another big milestone around our house.
Adria got her crib converted into a bed this weekend.
So it will take some getting used to but she seems to enjoy it.
I know that 17months is a bit soon, at least in some peoples books.
( Ive heard people say to me when I told them I was thinking of it)
But I figured, Hey, why not.
Gotta fight the battle sometime why not now.

Aww congrats Gen on adria's new milestone. I don't think that is TOO early for that. We were thinking of turning Chloe's crib into a bed within the next 6 months or whenever she takes up all of our bed space. haha. Also congrats on the weaning her of the breast. Much kudos to you for giving her only breast! I wish I could've done it.

hehe. yeah, Chloe has been trying to climb the bookcase, she even took books from the bottom shelves and well, the poor thing hit her head. So my bf removed the books on the last two shelves and put her toys in there so she can have easy access to her stuff.

I had a question, what did you feed Adria when she was 9 months? I asked my doctor and he told me to feed her the 3 same fruits (apple, bananas, pears) and 3 vegetables (squash, sweet potato and carrots). I feel like I should feed her more though. She has been eating that and rice cereal for the last 3 months.

Well I will give you a quick over view of what I did with Adria.
Breastfed only till 4mos.
4mos started on barley pablum, 2 weeks later, rice, 2 weeks later oatmeal and then rotated through those for a month.
By the end of that month I had started her on peas and green beans.
I tried something new every five days to a week.
So I went...
peas, green beans, sweet potato, carrots, squash, mixed veggies.
Adria hated fruit. So we started with apples, then pears, peaches, bananas.
Which she hated out of the jar so I only gave her fresh mashed.
And so on and so forth.
By the time she was 8 months I started her on meats.
But never the gross meat in a jar things.
I always bought her meat mixed with something.
Like chicken and rice with veggies.
9mos I started giving her milk in a sippy cup.
She had been drinking water out of one since she was 5 months old.
She would never take formula at all.
So sometimes I pumped and put it in a sippy jsut to get her using one.
But she never drank a ton out of it till maybe 10 months.

Well then it was lumpy foods at 9mos too.
I also started her on little rice crackers that melt on the tongue around 7 months old. And Cheerios and rice crispies.
That sorta stuff.
At 11mos I had her eating scrambled eggs most mornings.

So now she eats everything we eat except some fruits cause she still doesnt like them. For example today is the first day ever she would eat fresh apple cut up. She does like bananas.
I waited till one year to give her fish and nuts.

Molly is a little over 3 months old. She spent her first Halloween at home with us giving out candy. She wore the costume for about 2 hours, but then it got too hot, she took her bath and went to bed! Next year should be more interesting for her!

All the babies wore their costumes to our Little Gym class this week, and it was ADORABLE! She actually wore a different costume to class; this one was just worn when we went over to her grandma and grandpa's house to hand out candy with them. (We didn't take her trick-or-treating, because we would have just ended up eating her candy, lol.) To her class, she wore a little pair of skeleton pajamas. (Basically, black top and pants with a skeleton printed on them.) She looked so cute. I'll post a pic next time she wears them.

If you like those pumpkins you should see the ones from last year. I had a little more time on my hands for pumpkin carving last year. I did those two on Halloween in like 45 minutes while Molly was napping.

The pumpkins for next Halloween will put those to shame!

Im taking the picture.
Or off to the side.
Cant remember.

We took those pics at a local greenhouse that sets up for Halloween
They have all these areas to take pics and family photos.
Then you get to pick out our pumpkins.
Adria carried hers all over.
I think we will make it a family tradition.
It was so much fun!

Dont know who else has had a vacume used to get baby out.
My friend just did this week.
Anyway his soft spot is really hard to feel.
Was wondering if thats from the vacume or not.
Anyone has a similar experience?

Awww, those pics are TOO cute gals.

Jocelyn, Molly in her pumpkin costume is TOO adorable.

Brain, your little monkey is precious!

and Gen, your little roo is just TOO much! Love the little ears on her costume. you all did a great job w/picking those cute ass costumes!

We didn't dress up Chloe for Halloween, since my bf had to work on his b-day (which happens to be Halloween), plus, we were orginally going to dress her up as a cow (which his mom brought her a cow costume months back), but the hoodie didn't fit over her head. That costume was SO freakin' cute though, it had a tail.

anyway, here are pics of chloe w/the pumpkins before we carved them

Aww Meddle.
She still has all her little rolls on her legs.
Adrias are disapearing as she gets bigger.

As son as they get running around they just melt away.
