Your kids teacher actually comes to your house? Wow!! I have never heard of that. I think that is pretty neat.

Good Morning Mommies!!

That's really cool that the teachers come to your house. Is it all the teachers or just one? Do they go to everyone's house? Seems like a lot of work!!

DS is 14 weeks now and must be going through a growth spurt or something. He is eating about 48oz of formual a day, most of that between 4pm and 5am. He has started waking up at night again every 3-4 hours and I can't figure it out. He used to sleep from 8pm to about 4am before eating. Today I am trying to feed him more during the day but he's not taking the bottles too well. I think we are going to go down to the pool today, maybe that will tire him out more.

How do you spell tire? Is it the same spelling as the rubber that goes on your car wheel?

As far as temper tantrums, I obviously haven't hit that point yet so we will see what will work at the time! Right now he fights his naps during the day big time and I let him fuss and cry for a few minutes before I go in and pick him up, comfort him and lay him back down with his paci in his mouth and he usually goes right out. Odd because for bedtime he goes right down!! It's the ONLY time he takes a paci. Lately he has been trying to suck his thumb at the same time as sucking a bottle!!

Have a great day!!

Sounds like you have everything under control.

I just have to ask...Why is kaboom your best friend? I was reading your tags. Since I don't have any of my own I enjoy seeing what everyone else has gotten caught saying.

I love the Kaboom cleaning gel stuff, not the spray. It cleans ANYTHING especially the textured bottom of bath tubs really well. It leaves the silver of the faucets sparkly too!!!

So I bought some of those swimmer diapers and am thinking about taking DS to the pool this afternoon. I am getting so bored staying home all the time and I CAN'T go to Walmart and spend more money. I don't NEED anything!!

I have Aveeno Baby sunscreen that my ped said would be ok for him. I am going to put his big white floppy hat on him and his swim diaper and bathing suit and a tee-shirt. It's partly cloudy out right now but usually in the next few hours it gets cloudier as storms pop up.

We should be ok if we go for just 15 minutes or so ... right??

Just pay attention to his skin color and how he acts.

 

["Got Disney"]

Hi everyone,

Pool sounds like fun...how was it? I have been cleaning out my cabinets. Got Indian Moths and they are a pain to get rid of. Got them about 2 months ago and had to throw all my stuff away.

Have any of you ever had them in your food cabinets?

I have been very lazy since back home from camping. Don't want to do squat

Kids start school soon so best get on the ball

I hate that my floors get so dirty so fast...wash them one day and next they are dirty again....does anyne have that problem to????

Gee lets see what else I can complain about

Maybe I should go on the Dr. Phill show

So is anyone out there????

 

[LittleBlue22]

Got disney I'm out here, but ds is hungry. I have to go.

Maybe i can come back.

 

[Smileybug]

GOOD MORNING MOMMIES!!

It's raining here today. Hopefully it will help with the humidity.
Have a great day everyone!!​

Does anyone know... can I buy sunglasses for babies? Aiden needs some shades. It is so bright here Even when he is covered in his car seat the sun peeps in.

You would think if it was possible, Arizona would be the state to find them in! Is there a place online or a chain store that might sell them small enough? I've seen them for toddlers, but never for babies...

 

[DMickey28]

Rachel - I haven't seen them baby small but maybe a small toddler size would fit!! I thought about it for DS ... it's pretty sunny here too!

Robin - What are indian moths? I don't think we have had them. I hear you about the mopping and cleaning though. I just went through the place top to bottom earlier this week and now it's a mess again. Seriously!!!

The pool was great. We were there for about 5 minutes before he pooped in his diaper so we walked home because I didn't bring an extra one!! We went back a few minutes later and stayed for maybe 20 minutes. He loved it. He was well covered in sunscreen, a tee shirt, shorts and hat. I also kept him in the shaded areas. I think we are going to make this a daily routine as long as it's not raining. I need to get activities to do that don't cost much $$!! This whole SAHM thing is new to me ... I am so used to my income as well!

 

[Lachesis00]

You would think they would make sunglasses for babies wouldn't ya?? LOL I've seen pictures of babies with sunglasses but I've never found sunglasses sold in stores.

Glad to hear the swimming went well!

coolibar.com has infant sunglasses. They are $13.95

 

[DMickey28]

So I am thinking about "eventually" starting a little photography business, specializing in children and infants. I just bought a new camera and the quality of the shots is AMAZING. I think/feel I have the eye for great shots and am learning more about the technical side of it.

That's about as far as I got!!

 

[LittleBlue22]

O.k., Hopefully my brain will be able to remember what I'm supposed to type

baby sunglasses- go to Target! $5.99. I found mine on the end cap where they had baby sun hats, those surfer shirts but in baby size, and swim bottoms. They are velcro stretchy straps so you can adjust the size. TJ wasn't thrilled with having some thing on his face at first, but he started getting used to them pretty quickly.

tire-tire fatigues-fatigues as in miliary. I posted about military fatigues and thought, am I typing the right thing and sure enough I actually was right. wierd!

Smileybug= you are so wise

got disney, I was wondering how you've been recovrering from your shortened camping trip, you o.k.?

We have today and tomorrow left of our so. cal vacation and we have not made it to DL. SOoooooo, we might be (99.99999 % sure we are) going to the World for Christmas! I'm going to cement my hopefulness with a ticker soon.

Have a great Friday mamas! I look forward to posting with you later when I can.




Oh and....

smiley bug, you're so sweet and funny

I better go, mil went to physical therapy and has since returned . I'm supposed to be helping w/ the since I suggested doing so.

Have a great day all! I may be back!

Odd question of the day:
Do you think you are more funnier online here on the DIS than you are in real life (away from the computer)? I think I have a slightly bolder personality here than I do away from the computer. How would you compare yourself?
