just an update on dakota

feeds@yuku.com (windys1975) — Sat, 29 May 2010 12:07:36 PST

hi girls i haven't posted an update in a while. dakota is 17 months old now but we have been having alot of problems with him. he is now a failure to thrive baby, we have been having issues with him growing and gaining weight. he stopped growing when he was 9 months old. not sure why yet but he got alot of blood genetic testing done. so come to find out he has a few duplicated chromosomes and a deletion chromosome. so with that jason and i had to get our blood drawn to check our chromosomes to find out what's wrong with our son. he also got evaluated on everything and come to find out he is very developmentally delayed he is now at a 7 month old level. he is getting a lot of therapy for his needs once a week. overall he is a very active happy baby boy and we love him to death.

Nate walked today!!

He finally took a few steps today! 5 in a row! Compared to most babies he is probably walking a little late (at 14 months) but kids in our family tend to walk late (Izzie was around 16.5 months). I'm a proud mommy!

Any 2008 babies in big girl/boy beds?

Just wondering. We moved Z when he was 22 months and are considering doing around then with the girls.

My baby is now 1 year old! I can't believe how fast this year has flown! But like I was telling people, I really feel I have made the most of each day and appreciated every minute of the past 12 months, so no regrets.

As for an update on how the little miss is doing since it's the perfect occasion...

Elodie now has 7 (maybe 8?) teeth and is using them a lot, especially on me!
She doesn't walk yet, but can stand alone for a few seconds before realizing I have let go of her, and kneeling down in fear of falling!

Nate's 1 year appointment

feeds@yuku.com (nickinoodles) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:48:43 PST

Went pretty well. Is is on target with everything but speech where he is a little delayed. Dr. said they like to see 1-3 words by twelves months and Nate doesn't really say anything yet. It's so weird because around 8-9 months he used to mimic you like he was trying to say stuff, like he said mama and he'd try to say Hi (it came out haaa but it would be right after you said hi to him). And now he doesn't do that anymore. He says mamama and dadadad but not to us or anything. The only thing he says is no no no, which comes out nah nah nah, and shakes his head no. I'm wondering if it's his hearing because he use dot get a lot of ear infections back to back and I've heard that can cause hearing problems sometimes if the fluid doesn't fully drain. Anyway, I'm not worried or anything yet but at 15 months if he doesnt have 1-3 word they will do early intervention just to evaluate him and they do a hearing check then too.

He is 22.75...

Happy Birthday Nate!

Nicole, how does it feel to have a one-year old?

Sleeping

feeds@yuku.com (tracydeniel) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:35:26 PST

Just wanted to hear updates on how all the babies are sleeping. Noah is almost 18 months. He goes to bed in his crib at 9:00 p.m. and wakes up to come in bed with us anytime from 11:00 p.m.-6:00a.m. He usually has a bottle at 6:30 a.m. and back to sleep until about 8:00 a.m. He has a nap from about 12:30 p.m.-2:00.

Talking

feeds@yuku.com (tracydeniel) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:32:22 PST

Noah ia almost 18 months and still not really talking. He babbles a lot and has a few words that I understand but no one else would but he has very few real words. He is much slower at talking than my girls were. How 'bout all the other little ones?

Hungry baby!

feeds@yuku.com (nickinoodles) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:28:26 PST

Nate is such a big eater. He loves food and his bottles. When he wake sup in the morning he wants his bottle NOW! There is no quiet playing like with Izzie. She used to play in her crib by herself in the morning for an hour before we had to go get her. Are your babies ready to eat in the morning too?? This kid would eat all day if I let him! lol

Would you believe me if I told you... - updated with pic

... that Elodie peed and pooped in the potty yesterday evening?

I know, she is just 10 months old and WAY to young for potty training, but I thought I'd sit her on it and see what would happen.

Why? Because for the past 2 weeks, she has been able to pee on command! It started a couple of weeks ago when I was changing her diaper in the evening. She started peeing as I had removed the diaper from under her, and my reaction startled her and made her stop. I quickly put something under her, and said something like "ok, now you can push"... and she did! I tried it a few more times the following nights, and it worked, so for the past two weeks it has been a habit to ask her to pee when the diaper is open and ready to be changed.

I think the concept of pushing was acquired through months of struggling to poop. Oftentimes Elodie will push and push for a while and still not get...

Christmas presents

Okay, I know I am early, but I am planning ahead this year, especially as Elodie also has a birthday right before Christmas!

So I wanted to know, what are your little ones getting for Christmas this year?

Still no AF and Riley is 15 month old!!!

feeds@yuku.com (kaharonkwas) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:50:16 PST

Riley is over 15 months old and i still have noAF...not that i'm complaining but I just don't want to get pregnant right now either. She does still nurse at night but during the day she is at daycare. Anyone else ever gone that long without AF while nursing????

Hi ladies!

I am going to be joining you all! Katelynn just turned one last week, and I am still in denial about changing her ticker. She is pulling up, cruising, crawling..but not walking solo yet. It is totally fine by me! She will walk though if you hold one of her hands. She says a handful of words, and I am sure that there are more coming soon..
Here are some recent pictures of her at her birthday party:

Looking forward to getting to "know" everyone!

Pulling up!

feeds@yuku.com (shortyerin) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:19:07 PST

Hi guys! I am so happy to report that Audrey is finally starting to pull up to standing on her own! She did it twice yesterday without my help. And she climbed the stairs (with a little help from me). She's made so much progress in the last 6 weeks or so, it is very encouraging. What's funny to me is that we had her in physical therapy until she hit 12 months old (first for torticullus, then for low muscle tone/hypotonia) and the therapist couldn't get her to do ANYTHING, and now that's she is out of therapy, she is doing it all on her own! Anyways... I'm excited about it and I would not be surprised to see her cruising around and walking in the next few months, which is earlier than we thought! Yay!

Hi Ladies!

I have been taken over by Facebook, and Farmville! But wanted to drop in here!
How are you all? We are well, Freya is crawling... fast, has 6 teeth, and is sleeping like an angel. She's been unwell for a while, initially a chest infection, and now throat, on her 2nd course of antibiotics, so consequently has not been gaining much weight, and is still a bit of a lightweight!!
We are well in Australia, D is doing so well at school. he has a musical this week, H is making friends and going to bday parties at last! and F is enjoying nursery, I have still not managed to start work yet, but doing my best to fight the red tape, but really enjoying having the time to go to D's school to do reading groups, and making some lovely friends!

I will try to opst recent photo's in the correct thread some time soon!!! Good to see everyone seems well xxx

Are you planning on having more kiddos?

feeds@yuku.com (LPN2B) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:17:00 PST

We have talked about having one more. Some days I am for it, some not. With me starting this new job in OB at the hospital here, I most definitely want to work for at LEAST a year or two before even considering another one. So for us it's not a for sure no, but a for sure no right now.
